On May 14, Beijing time, the well-known American sports media "Fadeaway World" wrote an article proposing a set of transaction plans involving 5 teams and a total of 15 people, which aroused widespread heated discussions among fans. Specific trading plan:

The Lakers got — LaVine

Bulls get - Russell, Hachimura, Mitchell, Wiseman, 2024 first-round pick No. 25, 2029 first-round pick (from Lakers)

The Knicks got – Vucevic, Caruso

The king got - Randall

Pistons get: Ball, Barnes, Vincent, 2024 first-round pick No. 11 (from Bulls), 2026 first-round pick (from Kings)

Although the Lakers made the playoffs this year, they fell at the feet of the Denver Nuggets again, although James and Davis performed well, but the team was a little lacking on the offensive end, and if they want to further improve their competitiveness and return to the championship ranks, they urgently need to bring in a third star, LaVine has averaged more than 20 points per game in the past five seasons, and his three-point shooting rate is close to 40%, he is undoubtedly a reliable scorer, just in line with the needs of the Lakers.

Despite having two star players, DeRozan and LaVine, the Bulls failed to make the playoffs in the overly weak East, and the team's focus this summer is to rebuild. In this deal, they get either a short-term contract or a draft asset that can propel the team into a rebuilding trajectory quickly and steadily.

The Knicks finished in the top two in the East this season without Randle and made the playoffs in the second round, and Thibodeau's seven-man rotation has been questioned, which has a lot to do with the team's lack of roster depth. The addition of Vucevic and Caruso will increase the depth of their roster, and the addition of Caruso will greatly improve the quality of their perimeter defense, which is especially important when facing All-Star guards such as Lillard and Haliburton.

The Kings made a brief return to the playoffs last season and were shut out of the playoffs this season, and the combination of Fox + Sabonis alone proved to be inadequately competitive in the West, and bringing in Randle as an All-Star No. 4 could help them form a Big Three lineup that would be enough to make the team playoff competitive again.

The Detroit Pistons have endured an epic swing season with only the No. 5 pick in the first round, which means the team has a long way to go to rebuild, and their priority next season will remain to fight for a more promising young cornerstone, and in the process, they can accept poor contracts from other teams while reaping draft picks and young assets.

Overall, this solution seems to be a win-win situation for all parties, but what do you think about it? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area and say your opinion!
