Saving money is more important than competing for the championship! After Jokic is disliked, the Lakers rob the trade? James may return to his boss

Since the KD trading kicked off this summer's offseason, the league's next updates may become more and more crazy. No star dares to say that he is absolutely safe. He has to say one, and that's only Curry. After all, he is a veteran of the Warriors and has opened up a generation of Golden State dynasty. Even if the Warriors are not in the window period for the championship, they will not consider trading Curry, and Curry himself does not need to leave here. James, who is both an old-school super giant with Curry, is not sure whether he will leave the Lakers. Until now, James has not made a choice whether to implement the player options for next season. Earlier, The Athletic said that if James wants to stay with the Lakers, he is not expected to consider a salary cut, so that the flexibility of the Lakers' lineup may be limited.

Curry and James may be the two stars with the highest commercial value in the active league. The second one should be the top-notch players like Jokic, Antetokounmpo, and Doncic. Under normal circumstances, they will not leave the team. However, the situation is not the case at present. Doncic was just abandoned by the Mavericks this season. General Manager Nick gave the reason: he is not self-disciplined enough and the team needs a better defensive core. Antetokounmpo's heart has also begun to shake. The Bucks where he is located have sunset in recent years, and they have been eliminated in one round of games for three consecutive seasons, and the championship is nowhere to be achieved. This offseason, Antetokounmpo was also jumping repeatedly, saying that he hoped to stay behind the team, and then he was open to seeking his next home. Reporter Shams said: If Antetokounmpo really wants to make a decision, he may have to wait later in the summer.

Even Jokic, the recognized active alliance's number one combat power, cannot escape the fate of being put on the trading stand. Recently, Nuggets boss Kroenke said in an interview that the team may trade Jokic in specific situations, if they are troubled by the second rich line, plus other core players are injured. Kroenke said he would provide Jokic with a contract extension, but he was uncertain whether he would accept it or not. In fact, what the Nuggets boss means is that even the team has brought the first championship in history, it is not absolutely safe. They may not provide a particularly high super maximum salary contract to the team. For the team, saving money is more important than competing for the championship, and they will not consider things that are not worthwhile. In this way, it is not impossible for Jokic to transfer at a certain point this summer.

US media Courtsideheat suggested that the Lakers use LeBron James to trade Jokic, plus Kneckett, and other chips in the first round of picks in 2019. However, James is probably not willing to go to the Nuggets. Is it possible for a third-party Cavalier to assist in the deal and James returns to his old club? The general trading framework is that the Lakers send James, Kneckett, and Reeves to the next two first-round picks, and get Jokic + tied chips. The Cavaliers sent out Garland and Allen, and won James and Kneckett for the first round of picks in 27 years. The Nuggets gave Jokic, got Garland, Allen, Reeves, and three first-round picks. This three-party transaction plan seems a bit outrageous, but in fact it definitely makes sense and is beneficial to the three teams. The Nuggets got the draft pick and started reconstruction. The Lakers won Jokic and won the championship, and the Cavaliers got James and could also win the championship.

For the Nuggets, since they want to choose to rebuild, considering the value of the players' chips exchanged for by Jokic is actually not very meaningful. The most important thing is that they can collect draft picks and save money. Since winning the championship in 23 years, the Nuggets' dominance has declined significantly, and the competition in the Western Conference is becoming more and more intense. It will definitely not be easy to win the championship again. In addition, in recent years, they have undergone great changes from head coach to management, which may be the foreshadowing for the upcoming big deal. For the Lakers, losing James, but welcoming the league's top ball business duo with Jokic + Doncic, the hope of winning the championship has increased greatly. Of course, Teacher Yo is willing to come to a big football market like the Lakers. For James, returning to the Cavaliers is also returning to his roots. Perhaps next season will be the last dance of James' career.

Zhen Zhan may also want to return to his old club and fight for his hometown Cleveland. When the Cavaliers assisted Mitchell, they also have a chance to compete for the championship. The Cavaliers are the first in the Eastern Conference in the regular season this season. For the Cavaliers, it is necessary for them to adjust the lineup. The Cavaliers were eliminated in the second round of the playoffs this year, and the biggest reason is that the lineup is too deformed. The outside double core is too short, the inside double high and too thin, so there is no confrontation. Garland has been in a bad position in the playoffs for two consecutive years, and it is indeed a bit difficult to play in high-end games. Allen, including gradually deviating from the All-Star level, and being with Mobley has caused a crowded inside line. The Cavaliers were originally planning to seek their deal this summer. After getting James, the Cavaliers' overall combat power will not be weakened, and the team's popularity will soar, and the tickets for next season will be sold. Saving money is more important than winning the championship! After Jokic was disliked, the Lakers may rob the transaction and James returned to his boss. What do you think is the level of this three-party trading plan?
