The Lakers have been waiting for Owen for a long time, but the Nets have been reluctant to get Shao Wei alone. In desperation, the Lakers can only pull a third-party team to trade with the Nets, and the Lakers can trade with the Spurs.
The Lakers' Nets may make a tripartite deal with the Spurs 1 According to B/R reporter Eric Pincus, a source revealed that the Lakers and Nets tried to win over the Spurs in a deal with Owen and Shao Wei as the main body, forming a third-party deal.
The Lakers are eager to get Owen, which can not only strengthen the team's combat effectiveness next season, but also ask James to make a contract renewal guarantee as a negotiation condition;
The Spurs just have salary space (there is still a gap of about 57 million yuan from the luxury tax line next season, which is only the price of Shao Wei+Tucker), and they will be ruined next season, and they are fully capable of eating junk contracts, but only if they are given enough draft picks;
Nets can hand over Owen's contract, on the other hand, they can also take the opportunity to get rid of joe harris's junk contract.
At present, the possibility of forming a trading scheme is relatively large, which is probably like this:
The Spurs were sent by the Lakers: Shao Wei+Tucker+starting in 2027+starting in 2029;
The Lakers were sent by the Nets: Owen+joe harris;
The Nets got a gift from the Spurs: mcdermott+josh richardson+Baertl+big deal exception.
If the three companies want to complete the transaction in the future, the contract details may change, but the overall structure should not change much.
However, for each team, this trading scheme is feasible, but it is not attractive enough.
Take the Spurs for example. The three brothers given by others are all good quality contracts.
Is it not enough to eat only two starters according to the trading temper of the Spurs?
Let's talk about basketball Internet cafes. Although this transaction helped the Nets make room, it also disposed of the contract between Owen and Joha, and even got a special deal.
However, according to the current meaning of the Nets trading, they also want the draft pick. Where will the Lakers do it?
At present, the Lakers can only win the first round in 2027 and 29, and there are some second rounds. Can they satisfy the appetites of Spurs and Nets?
As for the Lakers, the contract amount of Owen+joe harris is not lower than that of Shao Wei+Tucker. In the end, the Lakers still have to pay a lot of luxury taxes and pay for the last two first-round signings before 2030.
You know, Jenny has already made it clear that she is unwilling to pay luxury tax and give away two signing places at one time.
So this trading scheme seems feasible, but will everyone be willing to really start?
Who gives in, who earns more? It depends on the negotiating ability of the management of each team.
The Lakers' Nets or Spurs have made a three-way deal. The Nets' deal on Durant has been postponed, and Owen's deal with another core of the team, Shao Wei, has been reached. The Lakers have been looking forward to Owen for a long time, but the Nets have been reluctant to get Shao Wei alone. In desperation, the Lakers can only pull a third-party team to make a deal with the Nets. According to Eric Pinks, a reporter from the "Stand", the Spurs are preparing to intervene in the transaction between Shao Wei and Owen, and the three parties are expected to reach a five-person transaction.
Eric Pinks said: At present, the Lakers and the Nets have held preliminary talks on the transaction between Owen and Shao Wei, and they are exploring the possibility of multi-party transactions. The Spurs will become the team ready to step in and then make a three-way transaction together.
Owen's deal with Shao Wei has been raging all over the league, and Owen has been in Los Angeles recently. Besides training with some players, he is still watching WNBA games. The Lakers are interested in Owen. James said earlier that he very much hoped Owen could join the Nets. Judging from the news of NBA reporters, it is not as simple as the Lakers and the Nets intentionally trading with each other. They have started substantive talks.
The problem now is that the salaries of Owen and Shao Wei can't be balanced. Owen's salary last year was still $36.5 million, while Shao Wei's salary last year was $4,765,438+10,000. If the Lakers want to make a deal with the Nets and the Nets want to balance their wages, they must add Kokuri or joe harris. Both players are willing to give up and join the Nets, and they are unwilling to accept Shao Wei's contract.
If they accept it, they will pay an extra $50 million in luxury tax, which is totally unworkable for the Nets. Pulling a third-party transaction is the most transformational. First, it can eat Shao Wei's contract directly. Second, it can meet the requirements of the Nets to send Owen away for the draft pick, and the Spurs are the most suitable third-party team.
The Spurs have nothing to ask for now. In the past two seasons, they have sent away White and Murray. The team decided to start rebuilding. Their goal for next season is to continue to "ruin" and improve the draft next year. The Spurs have a lot of salary space. He can accept the remaining contract of Shao Wei directly. The Spurs can act as an assistant in this transaction and bridge the gap between the two sides.
However, Popovich will not unconditionally promise the Nets and Lakers. They want to send big center Jacob poulter off. This player is 27 years old and 2m 16 in height. He has a high basketball IQ and good athletic ability. He is the first center of the Spurs this season, averaging 13.5 points and 9.3 rebounds per game.
The Spurs sent Jacob Porter, the Lakers sent Shao Weijia to sign the first round, the Nets sent Owen and a role player, the Spurs got Shao Wei directly, the Lakers got Owen, and the Nets got Jacob Porter to reinforce the center position. The Spurs can choose to continue to use Shao Wei to increase the team's popularity, or they can buy it out and continue to choose to destroy it. Owen can join hands with James and Davis to win the championship, and the Nets got rid of Owen's contract and got the first round of signing.
If this tripartite deal is reached, the Lakers will become the happiest team. They won Owen at such a low price, and the team will form a big three. The new season is worth looking forward to.
The Lakers Nets or Spurs have a three-way deal. After Owen left the Cavaliers to join the Green Army, he also cancelled James' social account. The relationship between the two seems to have fallen to freezing point. No one knows what happened to the two brothers. All I know is that Owen wants to be the boss once and prove that he can lead the team to the championship, instead of relying on James J.S.Wong as the fans say.
Owen, who is not familiar with the world, thinks that winning the championship is too simple and that it is a mathematical addition problem; Later, I learned that it was really "personality that determined fate", and Owen's unique personality indirectly led to the disintegration of the core structure of the Nets.
Later, he refused the short-term contract offered by the team and insisted on signing a long-term contract with the highest salary, which led to the breakdown of the relationship with the team; Later, he clamored to leave the team and join the Lakers. Owen's deal was put on hold because the Lakers didn't have the chips the Nets wanted.
Such a maverick personality, and his handling of interpersonal relationships is half a bucket of water, then why is James willing to agree with Owen to join the Lakers? Earlier, Davis and Owen met privately. Does James have a very broad mind?
According to that famous story, James agreed to trade Owen for the team, not because they were brothers and teammates and didn't have much personal feelings in it. It is that the team needs Owen's help to win the championship, and the Lakers have no better choice.
As we all know, the combination of Shao Wei, James and Davis has proved that it can't lead the team further, but only limit each other's offensive efficiency. At that time, the team got Shao Wei because of his influence and ability to lead the team, which could share James' scoring and organizational pressure;
But who would have thought that Shao Wei's forecast would drop so quickly? Moreover, Shao Wei inexplicably passed the ball out in many opportunities that should have scored in the offensive round, and his mentality was too bad, and self-doubt took the initiative.
Owen is different. His dribbling and shooting ability is always on-line, which can solve the Lakers' shooting problem and make James and Davis' offense easier. However, this transaction is not so easy to complete. Nets want a lot of first-round picks, not just one-on-one.
After all, Shao Wei's combat power has declined, with only one year's right to use it; Owen is still at the peak, and he is determined to join the Lakers himself. One-on-one is a loss-making business
If we can bring in a third-party team, we have a chance to make this transaction a reality, don't we? According to the BR reporter, the Spurs may be willing to be the receiver of Shao Wei and get the draft pick from it. Previously, the Spurs were "selling their property" and trading Murray to the Hawks to gain multiple draft picks and prepare for future reconstruction. There is no offer for Aidan, and the Spurs even frankly prefer to spend extra salary on players whose contracts are about to expire, which means they are willing to take over.
Shao Wei still has a contract with an annual salary of more than 40 million yuan, and the Spurs may really be willing to use the extra salary space to accept Shao Wei as a gift for Lakers send warm. However, it is said that after getting Shao Wei, he will reach a buyout with him, and both sides will lose; The Spurs are now learning how to mess up the Rockets. Once Shao Wei comes here, he will be trapped by the heavy snow and have no ball to play. For the arrogant Shao Wei, this is undoubtedly a shame. After all, he was the MVP of the league.
Once this kind of psychology is at work, it will make him choose to buy out with the Spurs, in order to have a chance to back in the game again. However, the Spurs had to send some role players to take over a small contract, so as to free up enough salary space;
The first draft of the Lakers is coveted by the Spurs for a long time. Theoretically speaking, this tripartite transaction is the result of multi-win situation, which is still worth considering and discussing. James can't wait to meet Owen, and the Lakers won't hesitate. It depends on the attitude of the Spurs and the Nets.
