2 for 1 for achievement! The Jazz beat two birds with one stone, Bailey became the winner, is the Lakers chance?

The NBA offseason continues. As the free market gets closer, there has been a lot of news in the past day. The Lakers and Clippers have attracted much attention. For example, James has implemented the player option on the Lakers, started his 23rd season and set an NBA record, becoming the first player to start 23 seasons. Harden jumped out of the contract and reached a two-year contract renewal of $81.5 million with the Clippers. This way, the stars of both teams have been confirmed, so the subsequent lineup will be further adjusted and strengthened. Of course, there are some adjustments from other teams. The 1 2-for-1 transaction that appeared earlier is a bit confusing because the types of players obtained by the two teams are not short of their own lineups. Sources from Shams revealed to ESPN that the Utah Jazz will trade Colin Sexton and 2031 second-round picks from the Charlotte Hornets for Nurkic. Two days ago, NBA reporter Jake Weinbach was also reporting that Jazz defender Colin Sexton will become a hot spot in the trading market in the next few weeks. The Timberwolves, Lakers and Heat are regarded as Sexton's most realistic next players. Who would have thought that he would be sent to the Hornets two days later.

Let's talk about why there will be subsequent transactions after the operation of the two teams, but it may be a big deal. Currently, the Jazz's inside players include Kessler, Markcanen, Collins; and Phillipwsky, who is also a rising star who can average 9.6 points and 6.1 rebounds per game. Now we have another trade to get an insider, Nuer Ji. Now the inside line has stockpiled five centers. Let’s talk about the Hornets and see how many backcourt players there are in the Hornets lineup, such as Ball, Treymann, Smith, Simpson, and Josh Green. Now also traded to get Sexton. Needless to say, this means that the two teams will inevitably have other operations in the future.

Let's talk about the Hornets first. Last season, Ball averaged 25.2 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 7.4 assists per game. His personal data looks pretty good, but it is true that he can't lead the Hornets to go further. Moreover, his attendance is a big problem. He only played 47 games last season and only played 105 games in the past three seasons. Now that Sexton has obtained it, it is not ruled out that the Hornets will send Ball away, free up positions for other players in the team, and completely knock down and rebuild the new lineup system. The follow-up of the Jazz is already very clear. First of all, sending Sexton away must be for rookie Bailey to make room, and he became the winner of this deal. After sending Sexton away, the team also had a veteran Clarkson and young George in the backcourt, so that Bailey could have more room for growth. You should know that Pele had previously refused to be selected by the top five teams and wanted to go to the Wizards. But the Jazz still forced him to choose. At present, Pele came to the team to report and then started training. The third pick in the draft that was highly favored was enough to prove his talent. Now the team has begun to make room for his growth. We will wait and see what kind of performance he can perform in the new season.

The second is the inside player. Nurkic has averaged 8.9 points, 7.8 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game this season. Then after coming to the Jazz, he can exist as a rotating inside player. Then the Jazz should seek insider trades. There is a high probability that someone will leave the team. There are two players currently involved in trading rumors, one is Kessler and the other is Collins. Because Markkanen's contract makes it difficult for him to be operated next. Collins averaged 19 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal per game, and signed a contract of $26.58 million in the new season. Kessler was in his growth stage at the age of 23, averaging 11.1 points, 12.2 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 2.4 blocks last season. It is worth mentioning that Kessler is a potential reinforcement target for the Lakers.

Next, it depends on whether there will be a center deal between the Lakers and the Jazz. After all, James has stayed in the team on the Lakers, and Anfen Nismith chose to jump out of the contract to test the waters of the free market. The Lakers' operations also need to improve their agenda. Looking forward to the Lakers' subsequent adjustments.
