The NBA Suns beat the Lone Rangers in the second round of G2, which does not seem surprising, but in fact, the Suns' center DeAndre Ayton only played 18 minutes, he scored 9 points + 3 boards + 4 fouls + 3 turnovers, poor performance, plagued by fouls, the Suns had to use McGee, Biyombo to alleviate the problem, it can also be seen that the young Ayton, he still seems to be a little weak in the high-end game...
Ayton's existing contract expires this summer, he hopes to get a maximum salary contract during the regular season, but the Suns did not give, there is a team option, the Suns hold the final decision, but whether they can finally give the contract as desired, it is not easy to say, and on May 5, Beijing time, the US media "Lakeshowlife" drew up a 1-for-4 transaction plan for the thick eyebrow brother, the Lakers may be able to solve the troubles about Ayton for the Suns?
When Anthony Davis is healthy, he is close to being in the top five stars in the league, and he may even be the best star in the league in 2020, but unfortunately his health is a big problem, playing 36 regular season games in 20-21, 40 regular season games in 21-22, how many games can he play next season? How many regular season games can he play before his contract expires? Can a healthy thick-browed guy be able to perform at his peak? These are all questions, and that's the key point where the Lakers now have a reason to trade him.
The U.S. media proposed a thick eyebrow brother trading plan is that the Lakers take out the thick eyebrow brother, the Suns send Ayton, Crowder, the first round of signing in 2024 and 2026, Ayton executes the first signing and then changes, the size of the contract does not have much to do with the Suns, Ayton in the Suns, he has Paul, Booker, the 2 All-Star level guards, and Bridges, one of the best defenders in the league, the Lakers obviously cannot provide such a configuration, or it is difficult for any other NBA team to provide such a configuration. Ayton is not very dominant on the Suns, and it is estimated that it is difficult to leave the Suns to maintain the status quo.
Thick eyebrow brother does have glass attributes, but it is undeniable that his contract has 3 seasons, he may find the peak state, due to the influence of playing style, talent, thick eyebrow brother ceiling is far higher than the current Ayton, the Suns whether to give Ayton the maximum salary is very tangled, Ayton's current value, that is far less than the healthy thick eyebrow brother, Ayton almost impossible to rule the game like the thick eyebrow brother in 2020, the current 2 first round + Crowder + Ayton, that in the 2020 offseason is difficult to change to the thick eyebrow brother.
Thick eyebrow brother in the last 2 seasons of unhealthy, which makes the thick eyebrow brother 1 for 4 transaction plan has the possibility of reaching a conclusion, the Lakers really have the possibility of solving the troubles for the Suns, healthy thick eyebrow brother + Booker + Paul, this will definitely be closer to the championship, and for the Lakers, considering the age and contract of LeBron James, Russell Westbrook, the Lakers is time to look forward to the future, send the thick eyebrow brother in exchange for Ayton + Crowder + 2 first round, which allows them to get a more stable interior line, more choices, Ayton + Zhan Huang + Wei Shao, next season, the Lakers will not be as embarrassed as this season, right?
(It is worth mentioning that Wei Shao's contract with Zhan Huang expires next summer)
