The NBA Finals have just begun and the schedule of this season has not yet ended, but many teams have already started to strengthen the lineup in advance. Shams Salanya, a well-known NBA reporter, revealed that the Timberwolves who were eliminated in the Western Conference Finals were unwilling to contact the Lakers and were willing to send Gobert away 3-for-7, and got 5 immediate players and 2 second round picks, but they needed to introduce a third-party transaction of 2-for-2.

Timberwolves:

Send: Gobert + Divinchenzo + Conley;

Get: Reeves + Hachimura Leather + Kneckett + Mann + Nian + 2 second round picks

For the Timberwolves, Gobert's performance in the Western Conference Finals was really eye-catching, perhaps because family trivial matters have not been resolved yet; for the 5 players he got, except for Nian, the remaining 4 players can play as the starter and substitute, and also get back 2 second round picks.

Lakers:

Send: Reeves + Hachimura Leather + Kneckett + Van Debiao + 2 second round picks

Get: Gobert + Divinchenzo

For the Lakers, the problem of center weakness has finally been solved. The combination of James and Doncic can allow Gobert to eat a lot of cakes, but sending away 4 for 2, the Lakers can play less and less. In this way, there will be more and more opportunities for fathers and sons to compete on the same stage.

In the transaction between the Timberwolves and the Lakers, the third-party team Hawks need to be caused, that is, the Hawks give out: Mann + Nian; the Hawks get: Conley + Van der Biao. Objectively speaking, this three-party transaction is of little significance to the Eagles. It mainly deals with two substitutes that did not play the expected role, and then replaces two substitutes to try again.

This tripartite transaction is highly feasible, and all parties are open and optimistic, but after all, they are only in the tentative quotation and bargaining stage, and everything is full of uncertainty. The three-party game has just begun. Let’s wait and see what the final result is!
