Anonymous executives are optimistic about the lake thorn transaction! The US media’s 3-for-3 scheme has drawbacks, and it is difficult for a third party to achieve it.

An anonymous NBA executive revealed in an interview that it was a good choice for the San Antonio Spurs to take over Wei Shao’s 47.1 million contract and reclaim some draft picks. The Lakers’ expired contract coincided with the Spurs’ efforts to win the No.1 pick for Ming Xia to choose Victor Wenbanyama. After the Spurs got Wei Shao’s deal, they could immediately buy him out and let Wei Shao find a suitable team.


I don’t want Jazz to be a trading partner of the Lakers because of Bo Yang, the executive said.faultGood choice, the Pacers are asking too much for Turner and Hill. Maybe the Pacers will change their asking price during the season, but it is a good choice for the Spurs to make a deal as soon as possible, Richardson and mcdermott will help, and Poeltl is also an excellent depth choice.
If Wei Shao’s situation continues into the new season, I still think it is meaningful to trade with the Spurs. When the Spurs get Wei Shao, they can talk about buyout with Wei Shao, and Wei Shao can give up part of his salary to join the playoff team. He has every hope of bottoming out and the Spurs can also get the first round signing from the Lakers.

The American media NBA Analysis Network suggested that the Lakers send out Josh Richardson, Doug mcdermott and Jacob Poeltl who changed for the Spurs in the first round in 2027 and 2029. On the surface, the deal is a win-win situation, but the plan of NBA Analysis Network has disadvantages for both teams.


First of all, for the Lakers, mcdermott’s four-year contract of 41.25 million yuan is a fully guaranteed contract, and his contract will not expire until the summer of 2024. At present, the most taboo for the Lakers is to get a long-term contract, and Pelinka only wants to exchange it for a contract that expires in 2023, because the Lakers want to reserve 35 million space to sign top stars naked in Ming Xia, and mcdermott’s contract will disrupt the Lakers’ plans.

Secondly, for the Spurs, Poeltl’s asking price is already two first-round signings, and the Spurs have to help the Lakers take over Wei Shao’s 47.1 million contract. In the end, only two first-round signings can be exchanged for Richardson, Poeltl and mcdermott? Perhaps the Spurs will not recognize this.

The best way is to find a third-party team to take over mcdermott’s two-year contract, without which it will be difficult to succeed.
