With the departure of Paul · George and Leonard's frequent injuries, James · Harden's championship dreams with the Clippers have become increasingly slim. His career is once again at a crossroads, but due to the pressure of public opinion, it is difficult for him to come up with the idea of leaving again. Recently, the American media "Fadeaway World" suggested that the Lakers and Clippers make a 3-for-1 trade before the new season. If the negotiations go well, Harden is expected to join the Lakers to form a Big Three with LeBron· James and Anthony · Davis.
The specific trade plan is: The Lakers send D'Angelo · Russell, Hachimura and a 2029 first-round pick (1-4 pick) in exchange for Harden of the Clippers. Compared with the Clippers, whose core is absent, the Lakers' roster system is more complete. New coach JJ · Reddick has the support of James and Thick Eyebrows, and his understanding of tactics and the situation on the court is better than Harden's.
The Lakers' performance in the new season is highly anticipated, but they are often left out of the discussion of championship favorites due to the lack of a third star player. Russell's form has been up and down, backup point guard Vincent is still adapting to the Los Angeles environment, and young players Schifino and Bronny have been unreliable.
Redick wants to get James to play more off the ball in the new season to reduce his physical exertion, which will require someone to be responsible for organizing and tandem offense. As one of the most passable backcourt players in the league today, Harden's addition will greatly reduce the pressure on James and improve the overall competitiveness of the Lakers.
If this deal is finalized, the Lakers will have a significant boost, while the Clippers will need to face the challenge of rebuilding. As the new season approaches, fans will be keeping a close eye on the progress of this potential deal and how Harden's performance with the Lakers could affect the team's championship prospects.
