Lakers Nets 6-for-2 trading plan, Mr. Pei wants to kill two birds with one stone, North Carolina s sharpshooting assists James in the championship

In the 24-25 season, the NBA playoff semi-finals are in full swing, but after entering the second round, some legendary superstars gradually disappeared, and Durant did not even enter the playoffs, which is a pity that the Lakers led by James were swept by the Timberwolves 4-1 gentleman. It is worth mentioning that in the second round of duel, the Timberwolves were dizzy by the Wuku Warriors, and the outside world once again pulled the Lakers out to "whip the corpse". Interestingly, the Timberwolves head coach complained that the Warriors' defense was large, and the Warriors' young player Pojemsky was not merciless. He told the media: I don't know how the Lakers defended them, but this is far less intense than the series between us and the Rockets! In order to alleviate the embarrassment of being eliminated in the first round, James said in an interview with the media today: Edwards' offense is very big, and the Timberwolves can at least make it to the Western Conference Finals. To be honest, although the Lakers do not admit that they are not strong, they are very honest. According to Los Angeles media reports, Pelinka is ready to do a big fight in the trading market.

Before the trading deadline of this season, the Dallas Mavericks and the Lakers reached an epic deal. They sent Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers, and the only ones who returned were Anthony Davis, Max Christie and a first-round draft pick. You know, Donci Wizards is 25 years old, at the peak, and is one of the top active players in the NBA. But Davis, although he is strong and has helped the Lakers win the championship, he has been plagued by injuries. However, the Lakers are not happy. I thought that with Doncic and James, the team could dominate the league, but was beaten by the Wolf Cubs in the first round without any power to fight back. The main reason is that Doncic and Reeves have some repetitions in positions, and the team's weakness in defense is also the team's weakness, and the Lakers are too weak in the center position. It has to be admitted that Doncic's deal is more like a long-term investment. The Lakers want to use James's partner to win the championship in the future before retiring, and they must strengthen it.

Reeves has made great progress this season and has become the Lakers' third offensive choice. However, if we look at the long term, Reeves may not be the best puzzle choice for the Lakers. So, it wouldn't be surprising if Pelinka exchanges Reeves for a big center this summer. Authoritative media Sports Illustrated revealed that the Lakers intend to reach a deal with the Brooklyn Nets to complete the team's reinforcement work. The potential trading plan is as follows:

Lakers get: Clarkston, Cam Johnson

Nets get: Reeves, Maxi Cleber, Kneckett, Vincent, Vanderbilt, and the 2031 first-round draft pick

to trade Reeves, which is not an easy decision for the Lakers. After all, as the former undraft guard, Reeves has made rapid progress in the past two seasons and is also one of the inspirational representatives. Reeves played in the league for four years and averaged 20.2 points per game this season, playing better when Doncic and James were not on the court. Reeves has a good feel, flexible skills at the basket, reliable jump shots, good organizational skills, and huge offensive potential. But the problem is that Doncic is stronger than Reeves in every aspect, and they are both a little weak in defense. Around Doncic and James, the Lakers will have many good offensive opportunities, but the Lakers need players who are tall, able to defend and have 3 points.

If Clarkston comes to the Lakers, he can make up for the team's biggest shortcoming. The Lakers wanted to trade a center before the NBA trading deadline, but the Charlotte Hornets' center was not in good condition and their trade with Mark Williams was a waste. The Lakers now don't even have a rotation center on the roster. Hayes is the team's main center, but in Game 5 of the series against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Redick put him on the bench, his strength is not at the playoff level. Clarkston has strong finishing ability, can grab rebounds, is also good at eating cakes, has excellent blocking ability, and has a strong franchise protection ability. He has been on the discussion list of the best defensive player of the year before.

Cam Johnson and Bridges were both members of the Suns. They are very similar in attributes and are 3D wings. They were known as "North Carolina Scorer" when they did not enter the NBA. Last season, he averaged 18.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.4 assists, a 3-point shooting percentage of 39%, and averaged 2.8 3-point shooting averages. You should know that when the Nets don’t have a good ball-holding core, Johnson’s three-point shooting percentage will increase more after he comes to the Lakers. In addition, Johnson can improve the team's defense. He meets the standards of 3D players. Playing with organizers like James and Doncic will definitely play better.

For the Nets, can Reeves make them stronger after the trade? The Nets are now in the reconstruction stage, with a lot of draft picks in hand, ready for reconstruction. However, they also want to introduce real stars. They have been coveting Antetokounmpo for a long time, but the Nets are not very attractive to Antetokounmpo. What they can really do is follow Thunder and cultivate their core. Although Clarkston and Johnson are good at strength, they are not part of the Nets' future framework, and their ceiling is not as good as Reeves. The Nets can treat Reeves as the core of the outside line and have a lot of ball rights to support him. Reeves will definitely average 25 points + 10 assists per game in the new season, becoming a true All-Star player.

And the Nets can get other good players in this trade. Kneckett has played very well in the rookie season, but unfortunately he has few opportunities in the playoffs. He has strong three-point shooting ability and is expected to become a shooter like Hield. Vanderbilt is a desperate mahogany, with active defense and good performance on the offensive end. The Lakers' first-round draft pick in 2031 is also valuable. By then, James is expected to retire, and the Lakers' draft pick may be able to draw a good sign..

After the Lakers were eliminated, there were many related trading scandals, such as the Lakers who won Embiid without leaving Reeves, James, and Doncic, and the Lakers who sent Reeves, Hachimura, Van Debiao, and Kneckett, as well as the first round pick swap rights in 26 and the first round pick in 21 years, leveraging Antetokounmpo. Obviously, these transactions are too unrealistic for the Lakers. It is more realistic to get a deal between Cameron Johnson and Clarkston from the Nets. What do you think about this?
