Although the los Angeles Lakers' current plight cannot be entirely blamed on Wei Shao, the root of everything starts with the trade to get the Los Angeles wanderer, and the Purple and Gold Army has paid too much defensive resources in this deal. The leaks are raining overnight, and if Anthony Davis can stay healthy, maybe their record this season will not be so embarrassing.
Naturally, some of the voices suggesting that the Lakers trade AD in the offseason also came into being, which is easy to understand, after all, compared to Wei Shao's expiring contract, the trading value and prospects of The Thick Brow Brother have unlimited possibilities. Even ESPN's famous Windhorst has thrown out the idea that, admittedly, healthy Davis may be able to compete for the league's top five players, but he is really too glassy, and the last time he made more than 70 appearances in a single season was back in 2018.
For LeBron James, who is only fighting for the championship, the honeymoon period of his and the James's eyebrow combination composed of thick eyebrows has passed, and it is time to give each other a decent breakup. Fortunately, the 29-year-old brother with thick eyebrows is not short of market, and there will still be many teams this summer who are looking forward to his health and looking forward to his potential and energy. The US media "Fadeawayworld" listed the 8th All-Star potential trading destinations, and thoughtfully prepared 5 sets of feasible trading options for the Lakers to choose, let's take a look.
Choose a Charlotte Hornet
Deal plan: Miles Bridges (first sign and then change), 2022 first-round pick, 2024 first-round pick, 2026 first-round pick, Kay Jones, James Bucknett six-for-one to Get Anthony Davis
Congratulations to the Hornets for locking up a play-off ticket, As Ramello Ball grew fast, was named to the All-Star team this season and led the team to great strides. Maybe they won't be able to make it to the playoffs overnight, but the young roster framework shows endless possibilities, and Joe's team is about to dawn.
Miles Bridges is very reluctant, averaging 20.3 points and 7.1 rebounds per game, he has been promoted to the team's top scorer, but if it is possible to trade for a thick eyebrow, it is worth it. The 24-year-old can bring the defense, size and projection that the Lakers need, and the combination of AD and three goals is also worth looking forward to. Three first-rounders and young players who are added to the lead can be kept for their own use or can continue to transform into immediate combat in subsequent trades.
Choose two The Atlanta Hawks
Trade plan: John Collins, Bogdan Bogdanovic, DeAndre Hunt, 2022 first-round pick four-for-one to Anthony Davis
The Lakers are not the only team that has been frustrated this season, and the Hawks, who advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals last season and are still fighting for a play-off spot this season, have also disappointed. It's hard to explain why the Hawks, who retained last season's core lineup, are going to plummet this season, and their offseason changes are imperative. The two frustrated teams may be able to come together to create a spark, and the Hawks do need to rebuild the lineup around Trae Young, who averages 28 points and 9.6 assists per game.
If Trae Young can team up with Davis, then their head-to-head duel with Denti will be very interesting. Capela's presence could return The Thick-Browed brother to the more familiar number four position without fear of being over-consumed on the defensive end. The Lakers can get young Collins and Hunter, Bogdan can play the bench leader, and the defense and vitality will return to this twilight sunset red team.
Select three New York Knicks
Deal plan: Julius Randle, Evan Fournier, Emanuel Quickley, 2022 first-round pick, 2024 first-round pick, 2026 first-round pick, 2023 second-round pick seven-for-one to Anthony Davis
The Knicks were also a disappointing team, and the Big Apple City at the beginning of the season once gave them hope of nirvana rebirth, but with the fall of Rose, Tom Thibodeau magic is no longer magical. To make matters worse, home star Randle is on the verge of a rupture with the team, and the star's departure from the fourth place in the offseason has become a secret known to the whole league.
The 27-year-old Randall can't match the thick eyebrows in terms of the value of the transaction, so it needs to be matched, the Knicks need to pay a lot of head players, fortunately, except for RJ Barrett, they also have nothing for sale. Perhaps Randall once did not like to play with James before choosing to go away before the old Zhan settled in Los Angeles, but at this time, he needed players like James to help him go further. The deal will lower the Lakers' ceiling, but it will be more stable, and the draft picks will make their subsequent trades more flexible.
Select four Chicago Bulls
Trade plan: Zach Lavin, Bryant White, 2024 first-round pick three-for-one to Get Anthony Davis
When DeRozan played the performance of the gods and transformed into a super giant goalkeeper, the Bulls became the top spot in the East, but as Azan returned to mediocrity, the Bulls gradually faded out of the upper half, which is also a portrayal of their true strength. The combination of Lavin, DeRozan and Vucevic looks good, but it is not enough to go further in the dominating east.
This season is LaVine's last chance for the Bulls, and if the playoffs fail to go further, then LaVine, who has been slow to renew his contract early, will most likely choose to re-naturalize his career. In order to avoid the loss of Lavin in vain, and considering that DeRozan has just signed a long contract, the Bulls can try to get Davis, which will make them more competitive.
The combination of LaVine and James is exciting enough for the Lakers, with Ravine's 47.9 percent shooting percentage, 39.5 percent three-point shooting, 24.6 points per game and dynamism on the defensive end all needed for the Purple and Gold. The 27-year-old LaVine can become the leader of the lakers' new generation after James gradually grows old, and such a temptation is also something that Lavine cannot refuse.
Select five Miami Heat
Trade plan: Bam Adebayo, Taylor Hiero and Gabb Vincent three-for-one to Get Anthony Davis
The Miami Heat are synonymous with discipline and the masses, and although the clashes between Jimmy Butler and Spaugh coach and captain Haslem have caused them to have several ups and downs, they are full of competitive spirits and quickly return to the right track, still holding the throne of the First Place in the East.
However, a civilian team with a high lower limit but a low ceiling will not always be favored in the playoffs, relying heavily on the star's hard solution ability to crack the playoffs of the opponent's iron barrel array in the key round, and Butler, who has limited physical talent, is regarded as the Heat's biggest goal. In addition, the best sixth-man strong contender, young player Taylor Hiro has the opportunity to renew his contract early this summer, and the Heat may not be willing to invest too much money in him. Rather than chicken and duck, consider changing change – if Coach Spotra has a combination of Butler and Davis, then the tactical possibilities are endless. With the climate of the South Coast, coach Spaugh's blessing and the temptation to play for Pat Riley, Davis would not refuse such an invitation.
At the same time, Adeba Dating brings reliable basket protection and co-defense to the Lakers, allowing James to put more energy into the offense; and Hiro, who averages 20.6 points per game, can bring reliable projection and impact to the Lakers, especially the reliable mid-range trained by the lads this season, which will become a major kill for the Lakers in the key round. Considering the relationship between James and the Heat, if the two sides are interested, it will not be too difficult to reach an agreement.
The above is the five trading plans given by the US media "Fadeawayworld", if you are the Management of the Lakers, will you choose to break up the Zhan Mei combination to win in the present? In your opinion, if you decide to trade Davis, which option is most likely?
