On January 17th, Beijing time, the famous mouthpiece Bill Simmons combined the current situation of the two high-volume teams, the Warriors and the Lakers, and gave the Lakers a three-party trade plan. Through this transaction, they can pursue their dreams and join hands with LeBron James, and Vucevic comes to support. Curry.
The potential trade plan is as follows
The Lakers get: Chasing Dream;
The Bulls get: Rui Hachimura + 2029 first-round pick (from the Lakers);
The Warriors get: Vucevic.
The main premise of this advice given by famous mouthpiece bill simmons:
The Lakers and Warriors, as two championship-level teams, have poor overall performance this season, with the Lakers ranking tenth and the Warriors ranking 12th. Both teams need to complete lineup reinforcements as soon as possible.
The Bulls were previously revealed to be in the rebuilding stage, and Vucevic is also being touted. The specific pros and cons for the three teams are as follows.
The pros and cons of the trade for the Lakers
From a positive point of view, the Lakers got Dream Chasing, a reliable All-Star level insider, who can quickly share the rotation pressure of Big Eyebrow.
Especially after Wood, an offensive insider, has recently entered the rotation, Dream Chaser can completely replace Hachimura and Hayes and become a reliable substitute for the Lakers at positions 4 and 5.
In addition, the two core players Chaimeng Green and James Mei have the same agent. Chaimeng and James have a very good personal relationship, and his joining may make James very happy.
From a negative perspective, the addition of Dream Chasing is meaningless to the Lakers and may even affect the future of the team.
At present, the Lakers need to improve their offense, especially their outside shooting ability. They also need to strengthen a defender, preferably one who can provide high-volume three-point shooting. Chasing Dream obviously does not meet the team's requirements.
Coupled with the fact that James has very little left in his contract and is entering the later stages of his career, the Lakers swallowing up Dream Chaser's big contract at this time will obviously affect the team's future.
The pros and cons of the transaction for the Warriors
From the perspective of salary space and lineup reinforcement, this transaction is perfect for the Warriors.
The Warriors can get rid of the big multi-year contract of Dream Chaser and introduce Vucevic, the starting-level No. 5 who averages 16.8 points and 10.4 rebounds per game, to fill the team's internal rotation shortcomings.
You must know that Vucevic's annual salary is only US$20 million, which is definitely a reasonable price in this league with skyrocketing salaries.
The disadvantage is that Vucevic's defensive ability is not as good as Chasing Dreams, and he does not have the ball-handling ability that the Warriors system values very much.
More importantly, the relationship between Dream Chaser and Curry is extraordinary. As one of the team's champions, the Warriors obviously need Curry's consent to send Dream Chaser away.
The pros and cons of the transaction for the Bulls
This transaction is perfect for the Bulls in the rebuilding period. The young Hachimura is in line with the team's rebuilding rhythm and can also provide stable immediate combat power.
's first-round pick will speed up the team's reconstruction and facilitate subsequent reinforcement operations. Sending Vucevic away will also free up space to train young insiders such as Pawei and Darren Terry.
