According to the US media "FadewayWorld", the Nets, Rockets, Raptors, Bulls, and Knicks are discussing a five-party deal involving Irving, Siakam, Gordon, Wood, and Rich Niye and many other powerful players, the specific trading plan is:
1. The Nets send Irving to get Siakam Porter;
2. The Rockets send Go Denwood and Porter Jr. get Irving;
3. The Bulls send Coby White and Derrick Jones Jr. to get Christian Wood;
4. The Knicks send Fournier, who will be the first player in 2023 The first-round pick was obtained by Eric Gordon;
5. The Raptors sent Siakam to acquire Fournier, Kobe White, and Derrick Jones Jr.'s 2023 first-round pick (Knicks).
For the Nets, the addition of Siakam will greatly strengthen the team's inside strength and make the team's lineup configuration more reasonable. Siakam is 2.03 meters tall, with a wingspan of 2.22 meters and a weight of 104 kilograms. He is 27 years old and in his prime. This season he averaged 21 points, 8.3 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 1.2 steals per game. He is an inside player who combines speed, explosive power and jumping. He has an absolute advantage when holding the ball and attacking the basket. In addition, he relies on his excellent core strength to defend center players, and relies on his speed and explosive power to defend small defenders. Such technical characteristics are very consistent with the needs of today's small ball era in the league. In addition, Kevin Porter Jr. is a 21-year-old combo guard. With Harden in charge of organizing the Nets, he can return to his familiar shooting guard position and focus on the offensive end for the team. Make a contribution.
For the Rockets, this deal means Gordon is a meritorious veteran of the team. The Rockets management and fans both hope to send him to a playoff team. Wood and Porter Jr. are two thorny players. Although the infighting in the locker room has subsided, there has been a gap between them and the coaching team. Irving has averaged 22 points, 5 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 1.2 steals per game in the five games since his comeback this season. He is still the omnipotent master of ball control and is proficient in using various offensive methods. After joining the Rockets, he can increase the number of balls. The team will benefit from tickets, jerseys, advertising and other aspects. Boss Fertitta will be very looking forward to this transaction.
The Bulls currently have a record of 28 wins and 15 losses, currently ranked first in the Eastern Conference, and are expected to launch an impact on the championship this season. However, a recent four-game losing streak has exposed the team's lack of internal strength. problem, the team currently can only rely on Vucevic alone to support the inside. Wood is averaging a double-double of 17 points and 10 rebounds per game this season. His arrival can make up for the team's last shortcoming and continue to consolidate the No. 1 ranking in the Eastern Conference.
This deal is important to the Knicks. Gordon and Derrick Rose have been close friends for many years. As early as the beginning of the season, Rose informed the team management of their desire to play together. After Fournier joined the Knicks this season, his performance was not as good as expected and he failed to improve the team's performance. Gordon's scoring average, three-point shooting percentage, physical condition, close defense and other abilities are all better than Fournier's. He can bring a significant improvement to the team's strength.
Overall, this quotation plan can benefit the five teams of the Nets, Rockets, Raptors, Bulls, and Knicks. It can be said to be a multi-party deal. *Winning deals. Especially after the Nets acquired two powerful players in Siakam and Porter Jr., their hopes of winning the NBA championship this season have greatly increased.
