I've long been accustomed to all kinds of deal rumors. Recently, the three-way trade plan that Meiji broke out is said to be involving the Trail Blazers, Nets and Spurs, involving star players such as Lillard and Simmons. However, in my opinion, the workability of this trading scheme is not high.
First of all, from a player's point of view, Lillard, as a core player of the Trail Blazers, his strength and influence are obvious to all. However, his style on the court may not be a perfect match with the Nets' style of play. Although Simmons is talented, his shooting ability has been criticized, which is a big shortcoming in the modern basketball system that focuses on space.
Secondly, from a team perspective, both the Trail Blazers and the Spurs have their own team building ideas. The Trail Blazers have been looking for reinforcements in recent years, but the team's overall strength has never reached championship level. As a traditional powerhouse, the Spurs aim to develop young players and lay the foundation for the long-term development of the team. This trade package doesn't make much strategic sense for both teams.
Finally, from a trading point of view, the stakes in this three-way trading scheme are not too tempting. In NBA trades, draft picks and young players tend to be the subject of trades. These factors are not addressed in this scenario, so the feasibility of the deal is debatable.
To sum up, although the 3-party trading plan revealed by Mei Kee sounds attractive, it may encounter many problems in actual operation. Personally, I don't think the chances of this deal being successful are high. Of course, as fans, we still want to see more exciting games and collaborations between players, rather than frequent trades and roster reshuffling.
