US media lists the trading plan for five teams, and the Lakers can exchange James for Antetokounmpo, which may be the best ending

This summer, the pattern of the NBA Western Conference has quietly changed. After the Thunder won the championship last season, the Rockets won Durant, the Nuggets won Cameron Johnson, and the Clippers won Bill + Dalow + Collins + Paul, all of whom are working hard to lift the team's ceiling. There is no doubt that these teams really hope to win the championship next season, but there are also some teams that are obviously just scrambling to make up for the duration, such as the Lakers. The Lakers let go of Finney Smith, the best defense, in the offseason, and signed Laravia + Ayton + Smart. The entire lineup became very deformed: those who can attack only know how to attack, and those who focus on defense only have no offense. The three giants James + Reeves + Doncic actually tend toward the former. The reason is that James executed a 52.6 million player option contract.

The consensus reached by the Lakers management, including the Los Angeles media, is: wait until James' contract expires next summer, and then find a helper for Doncic! But there are two small details that are easy to be ignored. First, James and Davis posted the same sentence on their personal social platforms almost at the same time: Being the best self always requires a lot of goodbye. Second, the Bucks management tried its best to strengthen the team, but Antetokounmpo is still unsure of his future. To put it bluntly, Antetokounmpo can take the initiative to leave the team at any time and go to the big club (he had previously highly praised Doncic's participation in the Lakers, which is of great significance to European players in going to top teams). On this basis, famous reporter Pixar listed a group of five teams trading plans: the Lakers can send James away, or even exchange Antetokounmpo for them!

The specific trading plan is as follows

Mavericks receive: James + Brownie + Andre Jackson Jr. (Bucks) + Taylor Smith (Bucks) + Drew (Nets);

The Lakers receive: Antetokounmpo + Olivier (Mavericks) + Tellis Martin (Nets) + 6 million transaction exceptions, used to trim and send away Kneckett and Brownies;

Bucks receive : Barrett (Rapgers) + Washington (Mavericks) + Coreb Martin (Mavericks) + Marshall (Mavericks) + 2 million special cases, in addition, they also received the Lakers' first round swap rights in 26 and 28 years, as well as the Lakers' second round pick in 26 years (from the Raptors);

Raptors receive: Gafford + $13.3 million trading exception;

Nets receive: Kneckett + Hardy (Mavericks) + Powell (Mavericks).

First of all, this deal has some significance for the two Eastern Conference bottoms: after the Raptors got Ingram, Barrett became dispensable. After all, the team's core is Barnes, and having a helper is enough to take this opportunity to clear the team's salary. For the Nets, Hardy and Kneckett are both young, and the team strives to continue to rebuild the team in the future. After all, the Nets have selected 5 first-round picks this summer to hoard young people to draw prizes. Here, as long as Antetokounmpo asks to leave the team, if you call the Lakers, the Bucks have no room for operation and can only rebuild! Because Antetokounmpo only has two years left in the contract (the player option can be jumped out of the 27-28 season), he was forced to send it to other teams to break up, Antetokounmpo can refuse to renew the contract, and other teams may not dare to take risks.

If the Lakers wait for James' contract to expire tomorrow, even if they have salary space, it will be difficult to directly win a first-tier super giant and find a suitable partner for Doncic. The most realistic situation is to send James to the team he wants to go to, such as the Mavericks. There are Irving and Thick Eyebrow here. Irving has recruited James to the Mavericks more than once. The Mavericks coach team is almost the original team of the Lakers Bubble Park, and the good brother Thick Eyebrow. If the Mavericks dare to give it a try, the lineup will become very luxurious in the new season: Russell (Irving is temporarily recovering from injury) Clay + Flag + James + Thick Eyebrow, the lineup is not afraid of any opponents, and James has more helpers around him. In Pixar's words, this also helped Flag grow rapidly in the competition by taking James as a role model.

There is no doubt that the biggest winner in this deal must be the Lakers. Getting Antetokounmpo means that the team will have two clear core leaders in the next 5-10 years. Doncic and Antetokounmpo are both top five super giants in the league in health. The Lakers are equivalent to only using two first-round swaps + marginal players to replace James's salary space and become Antetokounmpo! The most important thing is that the Lakers still have a high probability of freeing up salary space in the future through this transaction (controlling their salary below the No. 1 luxury tax line), renewing Reeves at an average salary of about 35 million yuan, playing the third leader of the team, and the Lakers will always maintain their competitiveness in the championship. Of course, this deal seems to have two problems. One is James's veto power. Even if James is willing to go to the Mavericks, he still has to consider that his family is still in Los Angeles.

Secondly, Antetokounmpo needs to make a decision as soon as possible, whether to leave or stay in the new season, or to designate the next company, like Durant and Fox last season, let other teams retreat. But no matter what, this big five-team trade plan is the best option for the Lakers, for James, and even for Antetokounmpo, who is hesitant now. It is obvious that James will have fewer and fewer roles in the new season. The Bucks management is not sweet. The most important thing is, who can reject the two golden signs of the Lakers and Doncic?
