NBA trade rumors: Clippers sell Collins, three teams are interested in big eyebrows, 52+8 guard may join the Clippers

On November 25th, NBA trade rumors continued in the past night. The Clippers sold Collins. Team 3 is interested in thick eyebrows. The 52+8 guard may join the Clippers. Let’s take a closer look below. Let’s talk about the Mavericks first. Davis, the big-browed brother, has been publicly put on the shelves recently. This top power forward, who only played 16 games after joining the Mavericks, has been absent continuously recently due to injuries and cannot compete. Now, the Mavericks fired general manager Nick Harrison and replaced him with a new general manager. The team's patience with thick eyebrows seems to have reached its limit.

Multiple sources revealed that the Mavericks are now willing to sell off the team's veterans. Many players, including Davis and Clay, and some other role players can be traded and widely listen to offers. However, the Mavericks want to stay with Irving and let him assist the young No. 1 pick Flagg. Regarding thick eyebrows, there are currently three main teams in the market that have expressed interest, namely the Lakers, Bulls, and Pistons. The Lakers are their old club, the Bulls are their hometown team, and the Pistons need his inside offense. But Brother Big Eyebrow has 3 years left with 175 million US dollars, and his annual salary is close to 60 million US dollars. For him now, this is a completely premium contract, and there are very few suitors. But if the Mavericks consider buying out Bill like the Suns and Ayton did with the Trail Blazers, then the big eyebrows in the buyout market are still very popular.

Let’s talk about the Clippers. Just today, Clippers reporter Evan Sidery reported that the team plans to send away John Collins in exchange for a more suitable player. In July of this year, the Clippers traded Powell and a 2027 second-round draft pick for John Collins. But now, after 17 games, the Clippers believe that Collins is not suitable for the team and are ready to cut their losses in time, which seems ridiculous. This season, Powell averaged 25 points per game with the Heat and has hopes of becoming an All-Star, while Collins averaged 11.8 points and 4.8 rebounds per game, far from meeting expectations.

Let’s talk about the Kings. Just today, the Kings also announced that they have decided to tear down and rebuild. Except for Keegan Murray, who has just renewed his contract, and Nick Clifford, the 24th pick in the first round selected this year, other players on the team can be traded. As a result, DeRozan, LaVine, Sabonis Jr., Westbrook, Schroeder and others are all on the shelf. Now LaVine's market value is very low. Although he is already in the 180 club this season, his contract is too big, his defensive efficiency is very low, and his role is limited. Sabonis is in a downward trend, and his value is not high.

On the contrary, veteran DeRozan is likely to be sent away in the near future, and the team that will take over him is the Clippers. According to Evan Sidery's report, the Clippers are very interested in DeRozan. The Clippers are worried about losing Powell. DeRozan's playing style is similar to Powell's, and the two have equal offensive firepower. DeRozan has been the team leader in the Raptors, Spurs, and Bulls. Although he is old, he still maintains a good level, averaging 18.3 points per game this season, and his efficiency is also good. And DeRozan's scoring ability is absolutely reliable, averaging more than 20 points per game for 8 consecutive years. He once scored 52 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists in the Bulls' game against the Bucks, defeating Antetokounmpo. In addition, DeRozan's current contract is not large. His salary this season is 24 million and next season's salary is 25 million, but only $10 million is guaranteed.

Now the Clippers are in deep trouble. The team has lost 10 of the last 12 games. Even the return of star Leonard cannot save the team. The team is currently a "three-no team", no results, no draft picks, and no young people. It's too miserable. For general manager Frank, the only thing to do now is to seek change. No matter whether it can change for the better, at least he must take action so that his position can be saved. If Frank pushes to send Collins away in exchange for DeRozan, then the Clippers can still imagine making the playoffs. After all, Harden, DeRozan, and Leonard have all been bosses. Needless to say, their strength is needless to say. Moreover, Harden and DeRozan were rookies in the same class in 2009. The two grew up and have a good personal relationship. If there is a chance to join forces at the end of their careers, it can be regarded as a two-way friendship between the two veterans for many years.
