The NBA in the 23-24 season is really in a hurry, and it is about to be the most frequent moment of trade, and every time before and after the All-Star, there will be teams that bring "big changes" to the lineup, which naturally may also include the Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors who are very concerned by fans. Recently, "FW" simulated a trade involving five teams and a total of 14 players (including future draft picks), which can be described as epic in our opinion, so let's take a look at it below.
Indiana Pacers: Jonathan Kuminga and Corey Joseph.
Kuminga is indeed a future All-Star, but the Warriors may not be able to wait so much, after all, although Curry's peak is still there, he doesn't know when it will suddenly decline! In addition, Klay is naturally not worth as much as Kuminga today, and for the Pacers, they need players who are good defensively, and it is clear that Kuminga can meet their needs.
Detroit Pistons: Hachimura, Gabe Vincent and a 2029 protected first-round pick (from the Lakers).
Hachimura is a dispensable presence for the Lakers right now, just like Vincent, but the Pistons need a forward that can defend and shoot three-pointers, and they can also get a first-round pick, which is certainly a good option for a team that still needs to slowly rebuild.
Los Angeles Lakers: Buddy Hield and Bojan Bogdanovic.
The Lakers need shooters, Hield and Bogdanovic seem to be elite-level existences, which is a good choice, especially when Reaves has not been in good form recently, in fact, the Lakers can try these two shooters, of course, in our opinion, they should still trade Dejounte Murray.
Golden State Warriors: Nikola Vucevic, DeMar DeRozan and a 2025 first-round pick (from the Pacers).
DeRozan and Vucevic are expected to join the Warriors, and Golden State will be able to reorganize the Big Five around the iron triangle of Curry + Klay + Dream Chasing, but in our personal opinion, if this deal is finally reached, then the glory left to the Warriors is really this 1-2 seasons, they failed to keep Kuminga will be very regrettable in the future, but if you want to win the championship again, this is indeed a more likely shortcut.
Chicago Bulls: Chris Paul, Andrew Wiggins, Austin Reaves and a 2026 first-round pick (from the Warriors).
Chicago can be the winner, and the team needs to rebuild, but from this epic five-way trade, they have a potential player like Reaves, a practical forward like Wiggins, and Paul will play the role of a mentor to the development of young people, and finally have draft picks, so it can't be too perfect.
