On October 31, Beijing time, the NBA regular season is in full swing. Before a few games were played, the shortcomings of some of the squads were fully exposed, and the results of these teams were not very satisfactory. Therefore, the US media has given a number of trade plans that can change the current situation of the team. Now let's take a look together.
The 76ers renewed Maxi's contract
The Philadelphia 76ers announced at a press conference today that the team has exercised a fourth-year contract option for starting guard Tyrese Maxey next season.
As the 21st pick in the 2020 draft, Maxey is one of the league's top young point guards and will earn $4,343,920 a year next season. Maxey is now one of the league's best dealers, and next offseason he will be eligible for a rookie-level extension. Maxey is averaging 37.4 minutes per game this season, scoring 22.6 points, 3.7 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.1 steals while shooting 50.4 percent from the field and 46.8 percent from three-point range.
The Pistons Lakers trade plan was released, and sharpshooter Bogdanovic joined the Lakers to join forces with Zhan Huang
The Los Angeles Lakers are currently 0-5, and the team has a lot of questions and is still looking for answers. Many experts believe that the best way to solve the team's current problems is to get Bojan Bogdanovic from the Jazz, but the Pistons have taken the lead. So the US media NBA analysis network gave a trade proposal between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Detroit Pistons, and the specific plan of the transaction is: the Los Angeles Lakers get Bojan Bogdanovic, Nalens Noel and Alec Burks; The Detroit Pistons received swaps for Russell Westbrook, a 2027 first-round pick and a 2029 first-round pick.
For the Pistons, the team is for the Lakers' two first-round signings, and Will Shao may be cut immediately. James is 38 years old, and the Lakers have not wasted the capital of his prime. Bojan Bogdanovic is an excellent shooter who can help around James and address the low shooting percentage that the team is currently facing, especially when it comes to three-point shooting. Bogdanovic played in seven regular-season games for the Pistons this season, averaging 31.2 minutes per game, 23 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2 assists, shooting 51.7 percent from the field and 51.1 percent from three-point range.
The Pacers Knicks are 2-for-1, and Barty Hield joins the New York Knicks
This is a 2-for-1 trade proposal between the New York Knicks and the Indiana Pacers, and the specific scenarios of the transaction are: the Pacers get a 2023 first-round pick and Evan Fournier; The New York Knicks acquired Barty Hield.
The Knicks are doing reasonably well so far, trading Brunson in the offseason to look like a star playmaker, and the team is currently in 5th place in the East with a 3-3 record. If the team wants to take it one step further this season, Hield will be a more meaningful promotion than Fournier. Hield is averaging 17.1 points, 5.7 rebounds and 3.7 assists in 29 minutes per game this season, shooting 45.7 percent from the field and 44.6 percent from three-point range. For the Pacers, the team is looking to rebuild, and if the Knicks don't live up to expectations this season, the value of this first-round pick is huge. If the Knicks end up as a lottery team, their chances of finishing top picks in the draft will double.
Mavericks Pacers 2-for-1, Miles Turner teamed up with Doncic
This is a 2-for-1 trade proposal between the Dallas Mavericks and the Indiana Pacers, and the specific scenarios of the trade are: the Pacers get a 2025 first-round pick and Davis Bertans; The New York Knicks acquired Miles Turner.
If the Pacers are willing to make this deal, they certainly have nothing to do with Bertans. If they want a veteran, they won't trade Turner. In fact, the Pacers are most focused on the 2023 draft. The Pacers' task now is to trade the team's worthy veterans for as many first-round picks as possible, hoping to maximize their lotto odds.
For the Mavericks, the veteran McGee signed in the offseason did not meet the team's requirements, which is a problem that must be solved for the Lone Ranger, who is aiming to win the championship. If the deal goes through, McGee could be the team's third backup, with Turner and Wood occupying most of the center position. Turner's offensive prowess will be perfect for Luka Doncic to maximize passing and breakout. Turner is averaging 28.5 minutes per game this season, putting up 16 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 3.6 blocks while shooting 38.1 percent from the field and 37.5 percent from three-point range.
The Lakers Bulls trade plan was released, and Anthony Davis joined Chicago
The Los Angeles Lakers are off to a 0-5 start to the season, and so far they're the only team in the league without any wins and are the one that needs to close the trade as soon as possible. One of the Lakers' biggest problems is their offense, which is significantly below average due to the team's lack of three-point shooting and overall good outside offensive players. So it's a deal that could help the team get back to the top and potentially improve the roster to become a playoff-caliber team. The specific plan of the transaction is: the Lakers get DeMar DeRozan and Nikola Vucevic and first-round signings; Chicago Bulls get Anthony Davis.
The deal would give the Lakers two much-needed offensive players. DeMar DeRozan isn't a true three-point shooter, but he was solid enough from beyond the three-point line last season, averaging 35.2 percent from beyond the three-point line per game. Nikola Vucevic is obviously not the best defender, but he is a good rebounder and has a great performance from beyond the three-point line. Shooting 34.7 percent from beyond the three-point line in his career, that's a remarkable performance for a center.
The deal will bring Anthony Davis back to his hometown of Chicago, where many NBA players enjoy playing for their hometown team. After all, it must be wonderful to play in front of your own family and friends and cheer you on in an audience back home. With this deal, Anthony Davis will have the opportunity to do just that. In this case, Anthony Davis will occupy the Chicago Bulls' starting center position because of his excellent rebounding and basket protection ability. Davis is also a solid interior scorer and will once again be one of the NBA's top 15 players if his jumper can return. With the Chicago Bulls, Davis will be able to form a fantastic duo with Zach LaVine and be the veteran leader of a young team with players such as Ayo Dusunmu and Lonzo Ball.
