The Jazz, Hornets and Lakers are three teams to watch this summer, and it is very likely that they will complete a big deal.
After the Jazz once again stopped the first round, the team exposed discord, Mitchell and Gobert's contradictions were open, and with Angie joining the team, the big move was already in preparation.
The Lakers are in a similar situation, after two consecutive seasons of no-fight for the championship, the team needs to make a big deal to ensure James has a chance to continue to compete for the championship, and it has become an open secret to peddle Westbrook.
The Hornets are frequently mentioned because marc Stein revealed that the Hornets were interested in ending Westbrook's contract in hopes of getting rid of Hayward's big contract.
To this end, the los Angeles local media "Lakeshowlife" based on the existing reports, gave a 3-party 6-person transaction plan, the Lakers bet on Conley, the Hornets won the first round of Westbrook + .
The deal is based on the revelations of marc Stein, because the Lakers are unwilling to take over Hayward, who also has an injury risk, so the US media pulled in a third-party Jazz.
The potential trading options are as follows
The Lakers get: Conley + Royce O'Neal + Plumlee;
Jazz get: Hayward + Nunn;
The Hornets got: Westbrook + 2027 first-round pick (from the Lakers).
For the Lakers, this is a good deal and can be seen as an upgraded version of Westbrook's trade with Hayward.
According to the current transaction value of Wei Shao, as well as the contract status of the back, even if it is a first-round pick, it is difficult for the Lakers to exchange for a satisfactory star, and can only retreat to the second place, choosing some stars that will not bring big problems.
Conley is one such player who is long out of his prime, and his performance against the Lone Ranger is even more disappointing, but he does not have the injury history of Hayward, played 72 games this season, and the defense is much better than Westbrook, which can be regarded as an upgraded version of Rondo.
Moreover, if the Lakers want to launch another attack on the championship, the key is how to mobilize the state of James and the thick eyebrow brother, and the requirements for Conley, who plays the role of the three bosses, will not be too high.
And judging from the performance in the regular season, Conley is a player with the ability to finish the outside and will share the pressure of the two cores during the regular season.
Coupled with the Fact that the Lakers also got Royce O'Neal and Plumlee in the trade, the Lakers' record in the regular season will be guaranteed a lot, which is exactly the task that the Lakers originally hoped that Westbrook would complete.
For the Hornets, the deal was no different from the previous move, and the team completed a double eagle with one stone.
After getting Westbrook who fit the team's plan and cleared Hayward, who was back to a multi-year big contract, Westbrook's playing style has a lot of appeal for the Hornets who can't compete for a playoff spot, which can improve the team's viewing and attendance.
At the same time, Westbrook's contract has only one year left, and will free up nearly $50 million for the Hornets in 2023 to facilitate the team's retention and reinforcements.
If the Jazz choose to rebuild completely, then the deal won't make sense for the team, but if the team chooses to keep Mitchell, then the deal can go hand in hand with Gobert's deal.
Compared to the playoffs-weary Conley, Hayward will be another three-time candidate, and Hayward has a good fan base in the Jazz local.
So, for all three teams, it's a lucrative deal that promises to take what they need.
