The American media predicts 5 blockbuster transactions: Doncic gets strong reinforcements, DeRozan changes teams, and the Lakers group of the Big Three

As we get closer to February, the teams are getting more and more active, and the Pacers and Raptors deal for Siakam is a starter, with more and more players changing teams in the future. American media FW predicted 5 blockbuster trades: Doncic gets strong reinforcements, LaVine changes teams, and the Lakers form a big three

The Mavericks bring in Grant

The plan is: The Mavericks send Holmes, Kleber, Hardy, a 2025 first-round pick to get Grant from the Trail Blazers

For a rebuilding team like the Trail Blazers, it doesn't make much sense for a player like Grant to stay on the team, and they need to develop more young people, so sending them away and getting paid off is the best option. The Mavericks will need to continue to sprint for the next few years and take advantage of Doncic's results to make achievements, they have found Irving to partner Doncic on the outside, and there is now a good rookie Lively on the inside. Only on the front line, a team lacks major generals and has no really strong players. Grant is averaging 21.8 points and 3.6 rebounds per game this season while shooting 40 percent from three-point range. For 4 consecutive seasons, the scoring has remained around 20 points, and he has good defensive skills, I believe he can bring a lot of help to Doncic.

Rozier goes to the Heat

The plan is: the Heat send Duncan Robinson, Jovic, get the Hornets' Rozier, Smith

The Heat's offense has always been a big problem, and they rank 26th in the league in points per game, and their good record is completely defensive. Rozier averaged 23.8 points, 3.8 rebounds and 6.7 assists per game for the Hornets, and even if he has some water, there is no denying that he has good scoring ability. At present, the Hornets need to free up some ball possession if they want to develop the top pick Miller, and Jovic also has some development value. The Heat get Rozier, add a point to score with the ball, and the outside offensive firepower will be taken to the next level.

DeRozan goes to the Knicks

The plan is: The Knicks send Fournier, DiVincenzo, clothing in the 2024 first round, and the Knicks in the 2026 first round to get an email from the Bulls

At present, DeRozan only has half a season left on his contract, so the Bulls will definitely be in a hurry, and this plan can allow the Bulls to get 2 first-rounders, which can be said to be very generous. The Knicks have become one of the powerhouses in the East, having reached the semifinals last season, and are expected to go one step further this season, sending Barrett away some time ago to trade Anunoby to strengthen the team's defense. And getting DeRozan will make the Knicks' more constipated offense to a good level, and it will also have a strong point in the playoffs. In terms of salary, they also have a good chance of signing DeRozan in the offseason because there are many cost-effective contracts on the team.

LaVine teamed up with Embiid

The plan is: Philadelphia sends Melton, Morris Jr., Batum, a 2029 first-rounder, a 2030 first-rounder, and LaVine from the Bulls

Although Embiid is expected to win the MVP again, it is still very difficult for the 76ers to break through in the East, and Harris's contract expires in the offseason, and the team needs to seek a third strong point. LaVine has a strong outside shooting firepower, but also can organize the offense with the ball, and with the improved Maxey, the 76ers will be very competitive in the coming years.

The Lakers have formed another Big Three

The plan is: The Lakers send Reaves, Vincent, and the 2029 first-round pick to get Murray from the Hawks

The Lakers are currently having a poor record, so they need to make changes urgently, James and Bushy Eyebrows give the team great depth on the inside, but it is always difficult to match opponents on the guard line, Russell and Reaves, at least one of them needs to be sent away. Murray was selected as an All-Star in 2022, he is very versatile, he also averages 21+5+5 per game this season, averaging 2.3 three-pointers per game, and has a good performance on the defensive end. Forming Murray + James + Davis can ensure that the Lakers raise the ceiling.
