In the 23-24 NBA season, for the Los Angeles Lakers, how far can the playoffs go seems to be the focus of fans and **? On the other hand, in the Western Conference is now so competitive, in fact, many fans and outsiders think that it is difficult for this year's Purple and Gold to replicate last season's miraculous record, after all, the subsequent knockout may face the Warriors, and the playoffs will meet the Thunder, Suns, Clippers and Nuggets, etc., which is not comparable to the Grizzlies last season! So, the Lakers' focus seems to be on this summer's offseason, so who are the players they crave?
Previously, there was a reinforcement plan for the Lakers in the offseason (specifically fadeaway world), in which the first choice was Trae Young, and the second choice was Klay Thompson! The Hawks previously released the news that they would choose between Trae Young and Murray this summer, so in the opinion of the NBA analysis network, the Lakers have a chance to get Trae Young this summer to form the Big Three!
The simulation of the trade involves 8 players (including future draft picks), which is an epic existence in our opinion! Specifically, according to speculation from the American media Bleacher Report, the Lakers are expected to trade Austin Reaves, Rui Hachimura, Gabe Vincent, Jalen Hood Schifino and first-round picks in 2025, 2029 and 2031 to the Atlanta Hawks this summer, in order to get Trae Young, an All-Star player who can average 25 points + 10 assists per game this season!
Obviously, such a 7-for-1 transaction involves the most concern of Lakers fans is Reaves, who is known as the future of the team but this season has not improved much compared to last season, and if the Lakers can enter the playoffs next, they have not been able to perform well to play the potential expected by the outside world, I think the Lakers will most likely say goodbye to him this summer's offseason, and for this reason, James is expected to usher in Trae Young, the third giant, In our opinion, this kind of trading simulation can really be expected.
