Although the 2023-24 NBA playoffs are still underway, for some teams that have already entered the offseason early, or are not expected to go further in the playoffs, preparing some trade reinforcements in advance may be the most important thing they need to do right now.

The Golden State Warriors are likely to be traded for a rebuild due to an aging roster and internal conflicts. But there are also some teams that are also looking to bolster their roster through trades in the offseason. To this end, the American media "Fadeaway World" proposed that the Warriors, Clippers, Rockets and Magic four teams could try to trade for mutual benefit in the offseason, improve their team strength, and change the pattern of the league by the way.

Warriors trade gets: Jonathan Isaac, Gary Harris, Joe Ingles, Hyland, 2024 first-round pick (Magic)

Clippers trade gets: Andrew Wiggins, Tari Eason, Amen Thompson, 2025 first-round pick (Thunder or Nets), 2028 first-round pick (Rockets)

Rockets trade gets: Paul George, Jett Howard, 2026 first-round pick (Magic)

Magic trade gets: Klay Thompson, Dillon Brooks, Stephen Adams

The Golden State Warriors are completely rebuilding around Stephen Curry

The trade gets Hyland, Jonathan Isaac, Gary Harris and Joe Ingles, as well as a new first-round pick. Sending Andrew Wiggins and Klay Thompson looks like a good deal because they have improved a lot on the inside. Jonathan Isaac is averaging 6.8 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game this season, and he's key to the Warriors trade.

The Clippers were reluctant to give Paul George a big contract and negotiated a good get-together

Paul George's maximum salary big contract, the Clippers are unlikely to give him, and can only consider giving him a contract with an annual salary of $35 million to $40 million. Taking down Andrew Wiggins is a very cost-effective option. Andrew Wiggins has 13.2 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.7 assists this season, he can provide good defense, and he is only paid more than $30 million a year.

The Clippers could build a starting lineup led by James Harden, Tari Eason, Andrew Wiggins, Leonard and Zubac. This lineup looks a little stronger than the existing lineup.

The Rockets took Paul George and went straight to the playoffs next season

The Houston Rockets' failure to make the playoffs this season was a bit disappointing indeed. Because last offseason, they spent a lot of money to win Dillon Brooks and VanVleet, and although Dillon Brooks' defense and offense are inspirational, the Rockets want to be a top team rather than a nervous team. Paul George is averaging 22.6 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game this season, and with his ability, it is not much of a problem to lead the Rockets' existing roster into the playoffs.

The Magic strengthen their defense and three-point shooting

In fact, this is not the first time that the Orlando Magic have reported that they may take Klay Thompson. The Orlando Magic have a lot of salary cap, they can give Klay Thompson an annual salary of about $40 million, and Dillon Brooks and Stephen Adams can improve the team's interior and exterior defensive intensity. It may have been a smart choice for the Magic to send away Jonathan Isaac for a more physically tough interior lineman.
