On April 14, Beijing time, the US media Blue Man Hoop posted three major plans for the trade between the Lakers and the Warriors, believing that the two teams can take what they need. James and Curry can't play side by side and may have the opportunity to swap partners.
Over the past few days, the Warriors and Lakers have been frequently linked. First James said that he most wanted to play with Curry, and then the famous Colin Cowherd talked about the Warriors on the show as a potential next home for thick eyebrows. The US media believes that both teams are bound by salary space, and trading with each other may be a way to achieve a breakthrough.
Scenario one: The Warriors and the Lakers make a 2-for-1 trade
The Lakers got Thompson and Wiseman and sent thick eyebrows to the Warriors.
That's the scenario Colin Cowherd mentioned on his show, and he thinks the reason the Warriors can consider the deal is because Jordan Poole can already play all-Star level, and they can completely use Thompson and Wiseman to exchange thick eyebrows to upgrade the interior, such a deal can make up for the Warriors' shortcomings and get closer to the championship. As for the Lakers, he can get Thompson, who is good at projection, and Wiseman, who is young and talented, and it is also a choice worth considering.
Option two: Lakers, Warriors, Pacers tripartite deal
The Lakers got Thompson and Hield, the Pacers got Wiseman, and the Warriors got thick eyebrows.
This is a three-way deal plan, Thompson alone may not be able to solve the Lakers' projection problem, this plan, allows the Lakers to get two super shooters at the same time. Hield was originally a player that the Lakers were close to getting. James can get a style that is close to the Heat of the year, with multiple top shooters around him.
The Pacers need to rebuild, and if they bring in Wiseman, it means Turner can go. And the Warriors to create Curry + Poole + Wiggins + dream chasing + thick eyebrows of the start, will be very competitive.
Option three: Lakers, Warriors, Rockets three-way deal
The Warriors got Wood and Horton Tucker, the Lakers got Kevin Potter Jr. and Gordon, and the Rockets got Nine, Wiseman and the 2022 first-round picks (from the Warriors).
In this plan, the Warriors traded Wiseman and a first-round pick for Wood and Horton Tucker. Tucker can bring versatility and depth to the lineup. Wood can pull out space and play in a style that suits the Warriors system. As for the Lakers, exchanging Tucker and Nunn for Porter Jr. and Gordon can bring more scoring and experience, and Gordon's long-range shooting ability is also what the Lakers need.
The Rockets can get a first-round pick, a decent point guard, and can be paired with Jaylen Green. Wiseman needs to be patient with developing his team, and the Rockets should be one of the best options.
