Prepare to grab it! In the hot competition in the playoff semi-finals, the US media "fadeawayworld" also turned its attention to teams that missed the playoffs and were eliminated, and posted 8 trading plans, including the Rockets 5 for 1 Durant, and the Lakers 3 for 1 "Zhao Si".

Plan 1: Knicks 4 for 1 Antetokounmpo

Knicks get: Antetokounmpo;

Bucks get: Towns + Bridges + 25 first-round pick + 26 second-round pick.

"The Ringer" reporter Howard Beck revealed that if Antetokounmpo leaves the Bucks, he wants to go to big cities more. New York and Los Angeles were mentioned, so the Knicks meet the requirements.

For the Knicks, they actually have no strong desire to adjust. After all, this lineup has only been played for a year and is currently leading 2-0 in a big score.

But if you can really get Antetokounmpo, the top three superstar, I believe no team will refuse decisively.

Plan 2: Rockets 5 for 1 Durant

Rockets get: Durant;

Suns get: Jaylen Green + Xiao Jia + White Devil + 27-year Suns first round + 29-year first round (Sun or Mavericks). The Rockets obviously lack a key scorer, and Durant is one of the top scorers in the current service, even if he is about to turn 37, so in terms of ability, Durant is one of the Rockets' most perfect reinforcement goals.

But the chips are up to date, especially when Xiao Jia performed well in the playoffs. If he replaced him with Shepard or Landale + another first-round pick, it may be a reinforcement plan that is more in line with the Rockets' long-term plan.

Plan III: The Heat exchange 4 for 1 Embiid

Heat get: Embiid;

76ers get: Wiggins + Dunro (sign first and then exchange) + Jovic + Jaime Little.

The Heat have always wanted to get Embiid. After Butler left, the team urgently needed to introduce another star. Embiid suffered from serious injuries and the Heat seemed to have a good opportunity to bet on the bet.

Plan 4: Magic 7 for 1

Magic gets: Morant;

Grizzlies gets: Sages + Da Silva + 26 first round + 27 first round swap + 30 first round + 25 second round + 26 second round.

The Magic's offense has obvious problems, and introducing Morant seems to be a good choice.

But considering his injury risks and projection shortcomings, Morant is actually not suitable for the Magic team that also lacks three-point shooting and space.

Plan 5: Nets 4 for 1 Zion

Nets get: Zion;

Pelicans get: Cameron Johnson + Williams (sign first and then exchange) + first round in 26 years + first round in 30 years. The Nets in the reconstruction are looking for another star to help the team turn the situation around. Zion's talent is obviously in line with the requirements, but his health is a huge problem, so any team that wants to bet on him needs to be cautious.

Plan 6: Spurs 4 for 1 Marca

Spurs get: Marca;

Jazz get: Vassel + Johnson + 25 first-round pick + 27 first-round pick. After the introduction of Fox, the Spurs officially ended their reconstruction and will form the Big Three after getting Marca.

However, according to Markkanen's poor performance this season, the Spurs may not be willing to give him such bargaining chips.

Plan VII: Pistons 4 for 1 LaVin

Pistons get: LaVin;

Kings get: T-Harris + Ivy + 27-year top five picks protecting the first round pick + 27-year second round pick.

Pistons have become a big dark horse this season, but Kaningan is obviously missing a second-scoring point, and LaVine seems to be a good choice.

But this is only the first year for the Pistons to return to the playoffs, and Ivy was also reimbursed for the season due to injury. Instead of betting on Raven, it is obvious that it is better to wait another year to see if Ivy can play this role.

Plan 8: The Lakers exchange 1 Clarkston

Lakers get: Clarkston;

Nets get: Hachimura Ai + Vincent + 31 first round pick.

The Lakers have obvious shortcomings in the interior. If the Nets are willing to accept such a plan, the Lakers have no reason to refuse.

"Zhao Si" Clarkston is almost one of the best choices the Lakers can get in the offseason. His age, defense and cake eating ability are perfectly in line with the core Doncic in the future.
