In the summer of '22, the Hawks traded Dejounte Murray from the Spurs with three first-rounders, a first-round swap and Gallinari.

Also that summer, the Cavaliers traded Donovan Mitchell from the Jazz for Sexton, Abaki, Markkanen, three first-round picks and two first-round swaps.

Both Murray and Mitchell set the tone for the All-Star trade: at least three first-round starts. Of course, at a higher level, you have to add chips.

1. Doncic averaged 10.3 assists per game;

2. Jokic averaged 9.0 assists per game;

3. Harden averaged 8.8 assists per game;

4. Murray averaged 8.7 assists per game.

In fact, after the All-Star period, Murray had the eighth-most assists in the league during the same period. In addition, the average of 24.5 points and 5.8 rebounds per game also proves the versatility. Potentially, good performance has helped its value rise a lot.

Compared to Murray, Mitchell led the Cavaliers to the playoffs. In terms of personal data, the average of 29.6 points per game is second only to Embiid, Jalen Brunson, Lillard, Alexander and Maxey. Obviously, it has once again proved to the alliance that it is capable of fighting tough battles.

For the Lakers, Murray/Mitchell are both targets for reinforcements this summer. One thing is certain: if you want to get it, you have to get Reeves.

1. Scored 32 points against the Celtics;

2. 29 points against the Bucks;

3. Score 28 points against the king.

In fact, Reeves didn't have a 35+ once in the regular season. However, compared to the 61.3 percent true shooting percentage in the regular season, the 58.9 percent in the playoffs means that efficiency hasn't dropped much. To some extent, he also has the ability to fight tough battles like Mitchell.

Obviously, with such characteristics, it will be a good chip when trading. It can also be seen from the side why the Nets and Hawks asked the Lakers for Reaves when Irving and Murray were traded.

Player chips aside, then it's time for draft picks. The good news: The Pelicans have told the league and Lakers that they won't pick the latter's '24 first-rounder, but '25. As a result, the Lakers can trade the three first-rounders of '24, '29, and '31 after this summer's draft.

The first round is coming, or three at once. Clearly, the Pelicans are helping the Lakers rise.

1. Three tradable first-rounders, plus three first-round swappers in 26, 28, and 30 and players such as Reaves and Hachimura. The Lakers could have followed the example of the Hawks and Cavaliers in trading for a star this summer.

2, Zhan Mei.

The first point is very intuitive, as for the second point, in terms of data, Zhan Mei had a net efficiency of 8.4 in 1726 minutes in the regular season. Looking at the league, among the duo with a total of at least 1,500 minutes on the court, only Doncic and Irving are the only ones; Jokic and Murray have higher values than James Mei.

In contrast, Zhan Mei is still one of the most dominant duos in the league. In other words, if the Lakers have quality three-handed, role-player players like Jrue Holiday and PJ Washington (this season's playoffs). I don't dare to say that I won the championship, but at least I am back in the ranks of the top teams.

Then again, these three tradeable first-rounders this summer could help the Lakers trade for a star.
