After the Los Angeles Lakers were out, Anthony Davis, Russell Weisbrook, Tarren Tucker, and even LeBron James were caught up in trade rumors. Westbrook naturally does not need to say that Lakers fans are eager to send him away, but Anthony Davis makes Lakers fans love and hate, love is his ability, hate is that he is often surrounded by injuries, but the Lakers' high-quality assets seem to be only him and LeBron.
Although LeBron James is 37 years old, he can still average 30.3 points, 8.2 rebounds, 6.2 assists, 1.3 steals, 1.05 blocks, shooting 52.4%, three-point shooting rate of 36%, he is the guarantee of the box office, and he is healthier than Davis, as far as Lakers fans are concerned, they are still more inclined to keep old Zhan.
On the evening of May 3, Beijing time, the US media NBA Analysis Network suggested that the Suns make a deal with the Lakers, the main body of the deal is Anthony Davis, DeAndre Ayton, the US media believes that the Suns will retain McGee after davis, than Yongbo's future hard power will be more terrifying.
The deal is that the Suns sent DeAndre Ayton (first signed and then changed), Jay Crowder, the first round pick in 2024, the first round pick in 2026 to get Lakers player Anthony Davis, the deal is 4 for 1, the Lakers absolutely did not lose, because Ayton has played the top salary, Crowder is also a front 3D is the type that the Lakers need most.
Ayton has played a good value in the playoffs, he currently averages 21.1 points, 9.6 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.57 steals, 1.14 blocks, shooting 68%, and 25 points and 8 rebounds in the second round of G1, so he is already worthy of the top salary of 172 million in 5 years, and salary structure expert Bobby Max also predicts that his starting salary for his new contract is about $31.5 million.
If this deal is reached, the Suns' starting lineup will become Paul, Booker, Bridges, Anthony Davis, McGee/Biyombo; the Suns only need to make this deal to improve the team's offensive and defensive hard power again, and the Lakers need to repair the lineup after completing the deal.
How Wei Shao deals is a big contract, and the Lakers may send Wei Shao away with the first round of signing from the Suns, or they may keep Wei Shao at the beginning of the season and send out his expired contract when the deal deadline is issued. Of course, if Westbrook and Ayton complement each other, then it is okay to keep him for another season.
