The specific transaction plan is as follows: the Nets receive Ayton, Bridges, Josh Richardson, a 2023 first-round pick (from the Hornets), a 2025 first-round pick (from the Hornets) Suns, top-4 pick protected), 2027 first-round pick (from Suns, top-14 pick protected). The Suns get Durant, the Lakers get Irving, and the Spurs get Westbrook, a 2027 first-round pick (from the Lakers), and a 2029 first-round pick (from the Lakers).
The idea of ??this trade plan came from expert Kevin Pelton. The Nets lost Duou, but also received a lot of compensation. Ayton and Bridges are in their prime and are ready to fight. Compared with Du'ou, they have an age advantage. At the same time, the first-round pick they received will also help rebuild.
Durant's wish can also be realized. The Suns are his first choice for his next team. Joining the Suns to join Booker and Paul, the team that ranked first in the league last season is expected to become the number one favorite to win the championship.
Irving's wish was also realized, joining the Lakers, reuniting with James, and continuing to compete for the championship. Moreover, Irving's scoring ability has also been a huge improvement for the Lakers, and it is a great reinforcement compared to Westbrook.
The Spurs exchanged Westbrook's expiring contract after next season and received two first-round picks, which also met their needs. After trading away Murray, the Spurs have chosen to mess up and are aiming directly at next year's draft, hoping to select the French genius Bunyama and create the next Duncan.
