With the playoffs approaching, there is more and more news about player trades, after all, many teams are about to have no game tasks, and you can focus on offseason trading operations, which are definitely indispensable to the Lakers. Of course, some players who have always been popular for trading also continue to be protagonists, such as the wizards' core Bill, and the 76ers hope to purge Harris. Regarding Beal, everyone knows that the team he aspires to join is the 76ers, and you may wish to look at Embiid's previous statements, which prove that he is trying to promote Beal to join the 76ers.
But the Wizards and the 76ers direct transaction may not be very realistic, nevertheless, the US media still provided two trading plan suggestions, the author took a look, the first trading plan suggestion is that the Wizards and the 76ers can have a 1-for-4 transaction, the Wizards only sent One Bill, but can get the 76ers Harris and three first-round signings, which are 2023, 2026 and 2028. Apparently, this plan belongs to the 76ers to sacrifice the future, and the Wizards will receive a lot of capital for reconstruction. The author believes that this plan is impossible for the 76ers to accept, after all, they are not even willing to accept Harden's maximum salary requirements, and these choices must be quite cautious.
Then, the second trading plan proposal should be more reliable, specifically a three-party transaction, in which the Lakers have become one of the protagonists. The Lakers sent Westbrook, Tucker Jr. and a 2027 first-round pick that has been unwilling to give up, while the Wizards sent Beal and Pope, and the 76ers will send Harris, Sable Jr., and the 2024 first-round pick. This is a three-party transaction involving 6 people, and there is some complexity. The Lakers will laugh at Harris and Pope, the 76ers will have Beal to assist Harden and Embiid, and the Wizards will return to Westbrook, Tucker and Sable with two first-round picks.
On paper, the Wizards are greatly increased in strength, the Lakers are not lost, and the 76ers have spent the least cost to form a big three lineup. The 76ers, in particular, could keep more first-round picks if they got Beal through this deal, which was definitely an ideal operation, but without Sable, this was unavoidable. And the Wizards are certainly willing to accept Westbrook's big contract in order to rebuild, after all, waiting for his contract to end, the Wizards will get more than $40 million in salary space, which is definitely a promising feeling.
Finally, looking at the Lakers, the most satisfactory should be that the contract of Westbrook can be solved, And Pope's re-assistance to James is also worth looking forward to, while Harris can still provide immediate combat power for the Lakers on the outside. The author feels that the second transaction proposal has a lot of feasibility, and all three parties will be very satisfied. But at present, it is only the advice of the US media, and everyone should not take it seriously, and pay close attention to the dynamic development of these transactions with a cautious attitude. In short, all three teams have the highest probability of a deal, and it's up to them to see if the deal proposal is implemented.
