According to the Woj report, the Pelicans have submitted a formal notice to the league not to want the Lakers' 24-year first-round pick, and soon after the Pelicans officially announced that the No. 17 pick in the first round of 24 will be owned by the Lakers, and the Pelicans will postpone the first-round pick from the Lakers to 2025, which has greatly improved the Lakers' maneuverable space on the 24 draft night, and the American media "fadeawayworld" immediately posted a 3-party 6-person trade plan to get what they need, the Lakers sold Reaves + No. 17 pick, and Mitchell teamed up with James Mei to compete for the championship.

The potential trading scenarios are as follows

The Cavaliers get: LaVine + Schifino + 2029 first-round pick (Lakers) + 2028 second-round pick (Bulls) + 2030 second-round pick (Bulls);

Lakers get: Mitchell;

The Bulls get: Reaves + Hachimura + Niang + No. 17 pick (Lakers).

The Bulls embark on a rebuilding journey: Rated B+

Over the past few seasons, the Bulls have been hovering on the edge of the playoffs by building a team around LaVine + DeRozan + Vucevic.

As young players like White grow up, the Bulls can complete a rebuild by breaking down their existing core roster, and the deal clearly fits the Bulls' requirements.

The 26-year-old Reaves and Hachimura have both instant and talent, and both could be part of the Bulls' long-term rebuilding blueprint, and even if '24 is a recognized draft year, the No. 17 pick could still accelerate the Bulls' rebuild.

Knights stop as much as possible: Score B

Any trade that sends Mitchell away is not a good option for the Cavaliers, but if the latter is determined to go, then this trade will be one of the options available to the Cavaliers.

Judging from the performance in the playoffs, the Cavaliers are too young and still need some time to grow, and the overall timeline does not match Mitchell, plus some rumors point to Garland and Mitchell, who have been deeply involved in trade rumors, and this trade will help the Cavaliers solve the problem.

Despite LaVine's unfriendly contract, he can be trusted to score and is a reliable prospective All-Star caliber who can partner Garland in the backcourt for a long time, and the first and second rounds are in line with the team's rebuilding rhythm.

Lakers Big Three: Rating A-

There is no doubt that the Lakers are the biggest winners of this deal, and the team sent two first-round picks to get Mitchell, the perfect third big man.

Mitchell has been a reliable scorer and playmaker throughout his career, and has proven himself in both the regular season and the playoffs.

As James ages, Mitchell will play the role of a second point of possession, eating most of the ball and sharing the offensive pressure on James.

The reason why they didn't get a higher rating is mainly because the Lakers still ceded Reaves in the trade, who is a player that Lakers management values a lot.

But in terms of star level, Reaves is completely incomparable to Mitchell, and the latter's age is not at a loss, even if the future first-round pick and potential core rotation are overdrawn, the Lakers are still the big winners.

This deal not only allows the Lakers to make full use of Zhan Mei's final championship window, but also after James retires or leaves, around Mitchell + Brother Thick Mei to continue to compete for the championship, as long as the two partner for a long time, according to the Lakers' golden signboard, the Lakers will be a reasonable championship team in the next 5 years.

Therefore, the American media believes that this is a trade plan that is in line with the three teams, and it is entirely possible to achieve the desired result, so the lowest rating of the three teams is also B, and the Lakers have become the big winner to obtain an A-high rating.
