With the end of the regular season, the season for some teams that missed the playoffs is over, and although the deal period has not yet arrived, work has already begun.
Especially in the case of the Lakers and other teams missing the playoffs this season, the offseason league is likely to usher in a new round of shuffle, resulting in some large-scale transactions.
To this end, the US media "nbaanalysis" also selected 3 potential large-scale transaction plans, of which the Warriors 2 for 1 block king, the Rockets frantically dumped 3 first rounds.
Trading Scenario 1
Warriors get: Turner;
Walkers get: Cumminga + Wiseman.
For the Warriors, the inside line is the only shortcoming of the team lineup, wiseman is indeed talented, but there is still a long period of growth from the championship level inside line, Curry, Klay and other players do not have patience and time to wait.
Therefore, trading Turner around Wiseman is undoubtedly a deal worth discussing, the talented Wiseman is worth cultivating the Pacers, and Turner meets the Warriors' reinforcement needs.
As the block king, Turner not only has the league's top rim performance, but also has a stable outside finishing ability, is one of the few top 3D interior lines in the league, has handed over more than 50% shooting rate for two consecutive seasons, while the contract is only $18 million, meeting the Warriors' salary space.
But the problem is that Turner is not a star-level player, he can only be regarded as a top role player, because he lacks the control of rebounding, and the efficiency and quality of blocking are very poor, which is also the root cause of his failure to get a big contract.
Therefore, if You need to send away Cuminga, then this deal is very uneconomical for the Warriors, and replacing Cuminga with Moody's or the first round pick, plus some additions, is worth considering for the Warriors.
For the Pacers, if the Warriors are really willing to send Cuminga away, then the team does not need the slightest hesitation, even if it is a wiseman + first-round pick, it is also worth the team's consideration.
Transaction Scenario 2
The Pistons received: Bledsoe + 2022 first-round picks + 2024 first-round picks (top ten pick protection);
Trail Blazers get: Grant.
The Trail Blazers have a fork in the road this season, and in the face of continuous problems with injuries and lineup competitiveness, the team chose a drastic lineup adjustment.
All the core instant players such as CJ, Powell, and Covington were cleared out in one go, and it was planned to reorganize the championship-winning lineup for Lillard in the offseason.
Before the trade deadline, Shams revealed that Lillard was very fond of Grant, who could attack and defend, but unfortunately the Blazers did not have enough chips at that time, and the Blazers would have the opportunity to pursue him in the offseason.
For the Pistons, the deal was perfectly acceptable, as the team got two first-round picks in one go, perfectly meeting the team's rebuilding needs.
In addition, the team also got Brysoe, a player whose big contract is about to expire, which is also in line with the Pistons' rebuilding plan.
Transaction Scenario 3
Rockets get: Alexander + Favors;
The Thunder get: Wall + 2023 first round (Rockets) + 2024 first round (Nets) + 2026 first round (Nets).
Compared with the first two transaction plans, this transaction plan is more like a wishful recommendation, and it is impossible to achieve a happy ending.
Even if Alexander and Gidey's style of play overlap, the Thunder are still very optimistic about the duo, and the Rockets do not have to pursue Alexander, they already have Green.
Therefore, the discussion of this deal plan is of little value, the Rockets are expected to cultivate young players next season, and after another season, as the core young players are finalized and form a certain instant combat strength, it is not too late to introduce some veterans and instant combat strength.
