The 2021-22 NBA playoffs continue, and the Lakers, who have the Big Three, have a pity, and have not performed well this season and ultimately failed to appear in the playoffs. However, the news of Lakers star Wei Shao has come and gone, and most of them are discussing Wei Shao's future direction. In the eyes of the US media, which is not too big to see the hilarity, Wei Shao seems to be able to change the whole league. Isn't that? The US media "Fadeaway World" has done things again, posting a latest Westbrook trading plan!
This time, Fadeaway World suggested that the Lakers brew a three-way 8-person deal, and the first two parties to be determined are the Lakers and The Hornets, after all, the Hornets are the most frequent teams in the recent discussions about the deal with Westbrook. Then the US media suggested that the Lakers should pull the Pacers into the company, so that they could try a three-way deal involving 8 people and send Westbrook and Tucker away. Although the US media often plots some more nonsensical trading schemes, this three-party transaction seems to be friendly to all three teams!
So what kind of chips do the three teams need to come up with? On the Lakers side, it is natural to take Wei Shao as the main trading body, and the chips provided by the Lakers are Wei Shao + Tucker + first round signing (2027), and this first round signing is also a more attractive chip for the Lakers. On the walker's side, Brogdon and Turner are offered. The Hornets side offer Hayward, Harrell, Washington and Rozier. Here is a point to note, if you want to put Harrell into the trading list, you need to sign first and then exchange, this three-party trading plan has the possibility of going on.
The trading chips are out, what kind of rewards can the three teams finally reap? According to the situation analyzed by "Fadeaway World", the Lakers side, get Rozier and Brogdon. On the Pacers' side, get Tucker, Hayward, Harrell and Washington. The Hornets, on the other hand, got Westbrook and Turner, as well as the Lakers provided a 2027 first-round pick. Not to mention which team is more profitable, just from the latest lineup after the Lakers trade, the rationality of the lineup seems to be higher than the Big Three this season!
If this deal can be reached, then Brogdon and Rozier, if not surprisingly, will book 2 starting places, and James and Thick Brow are even more ironclad starters. The last starting spot is the center position, but the US media posted not Howard, but Bi Yongbo, who is currently playing for the Suns. Of course, this has to be based on the premise that the Lakers do not renew Howard, if the Lakers provide Howard with a contract extension in the offseason, then the Lakers will not have to recruit Biyongbo.
The Lakers, Hornets and Pacers are all missing the playoff stage this season. Today, these three teams do not have the pressure to advance to the playoffs, maybe you can really explore in advance, try to adjust the lineup, and see if the new season will be rewarded. Do you think this three-party transaction is feasible? Do the Lakers make or lose? Feel free to leave your thoughts!
