On July 3, Beijing time, the NBA free market has opened, in which the Phoenix Suns are not expected to trade Nurkic, who is very suitable for Budenholzer's tactical system, and the Charlotte Hornets traded Josh Green, two second-round picks, one of which may be traded to the Golden State Warriors. I'm sorry, superstar LeBron James, 24 hours after the Los Angeles Lakers missed Klay Thompson, general manager Pelinka will trade D'Angelo Russell in exchange for chips, pursue DeMar Rozan, and form a Big Three again.
According to the latest report from Woshen, because the Dallas Mavericks and the Golden State Warriors reached a two-for-one deal, they exchanged two unimportant draft picks for four-time champion sharpshooter Klay Thompson, partnering Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic to impact the championship in the 2024-2025 season. It should be emphasized that Klay Thompson chose to join the Dallas Mavericks, mainly because he believes that the combination of Irving and Doncic has a better chance of competing for the championship than the duo of LeBron James and Anthony Davis, and at the same time, the overall consumption is much cheaper than Los Angeles.
It is worth mentioning that 24 hours after the Los Angeles Lakers missed Klay Thompson, general manager Pelinka still made some moves, and Jake Fischer revealed that if he wants to bring in DeMar DeRozan, the team must make some trades and negotiate with third-party teams to send D'Angelo Russell, Vincent and others. Very fortunately, the Brooklyn Nets, which are being rebuilt, are still interested in bringing in D'Angelo Russell again, and they are also willing to give in in the snow.
You must know that in the 2023-2024 season with the Los Angeles Lakers, D'Angelo Russell played a total of 76 regular season games, averaging 18 points, 3.1 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game. On the other hand, DeMar Rozan, who played for the Chicago Bulls, played a total of 79 regular season games in the regular season, averaging 24 points, 4.3 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game.
Now, with the Los Angeles Lakers having been frustrated in recruiting and failing to introduce James Harden and Valanciunas, the team management once again missed the opportunity to introduce Klay Thompson, who chose to join the Dallas Mavericks, partnering with Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, forming a triumvirate lineup to impact the championship, and say sorry to superstar LeBron James here. It should be noted that after missing Klay Thompson for 24 hours, general manager Pelinka will trade D'Angelo Russell in exchange for chips to pursue DeMard Rozan and help Anthony Davis.
