Now there are less than 8 hours left before the season's trading deadline, after the Lakers have experienced a 2-point loss to the Blazers, will they complete some trades before the deadline, the answer is yes, but the Westbrook trade that everyone wants will not happen, but overall the Lakers have also made a fine-tuned transaction, and the teams involved are the Lakers, the Knicks and the Raptors.
According to Michael Scotto, sources revealed that the Lakers, Knicks, raptors have discussed a three-way deal with Tucker, Reddish and others as the main body. The framework for the deal is as follows: The Lakers get: Cam Redish, Alec Burks. Knicks get: Golan Dragic, draft picks (not added on which team). The Raptors got: Horton Tucker, Narens Noel.
In this deal, the Lakers did not choose to send the first round of 27 years, just traded Tucker, in exchange for the Knicks' Reddish, Burks, this deal benefited from the Knicks' infighting, according to reports, the current Knicks management is "fighting for power", coach Thibodeau does not want to keep Reddish, then this also gives the Lakers the opportunity to adjust.
So how did the two players get fare? Reddish averaged 11.9 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1 steal per game for the Hawks this season, shooting 40.2 percent + 37.9 percent from the field, and was a teammate of Zion at Duke College. Alec Burks averaged 11.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.1 steals per game, shooting 38.2% + 38.8% from the field. Both men did well outside the three-point line.
That is to say, the Lakers gave Tucker such a guard who needs the ball in hand, in exchange for a three-point shooting rate of nearly 40% of the guard Burks, and in exchange for 2 meters 03 in the offensive and defensive ends of the potential of Reddish, this deal also got rid of Tucker just took effect of the 4-year ten million contract, so in the case of no way to trade Westbrook, the Lakers such a deal should basically be good rating, but can the Lakers improve the competitiveness of the team through fine-tuning? I can only say that we will wait and see.
