A review of the five major trade rumors in the offseason: George + Tanhua replaced KD, Antetokounmpo joined forces with Wenban?

As the playoffs deepen, many teams have begun planning for offseasons, especially some teams are eager to enter the playoffs and get good picks in the draft draw. They are eager to complete a qualitative leap this offseason. Next, we will take a look at some of the latest and most popular trading rumors now to see which ones are based on credibility.

Rumor 1: Holiday is put on the shelves, which will attract the interest of championship teams

As we all know, the Celtics' salary and luxury tax explosion next season is expected to exceed US$493 million. With Tatum's injury, the Celtics' championship window will definitely be closed, so the team has to consider reducing their spending. Holiday's annual salary of $32.4 million can help the team avoid triggering the second rich line. He is the third highest-paid player in the team.

Holiday has always been the best teammate in the league. He has won both the Celtics and the Bucks and can be the starting point guard for any championship team. However, he will be 35 years old in a few weeks. This season is also the worst season since the 2009-10 season, so it still needs to be considered. Both the Pistons and the Magic need an experienced point guard, and the Kings can also get some value from Holiday, but Holiday in this state is only meaningful to a few teams, and this rumor is more inclined to disbelief.

Rumor 2: The Spurs are not expected to use the second draw to get the stars

Antetokounmpo is undoubtedly one of the best players in the market this summer, and he has a chance to get him, but will the Spurs use the second draw as bargaining chip to get the Antetokounmpo and Wenban Yama to form the strongest inside combination in the league? The players selected by the team in the past two years have been selected as the best rookie, and Fox is still in the backcourt. Will Dylan Harper be selected as the second pick?

The Spurs now have very top young players, and the support lineup is also talented. The Spurs can discuss Antetokounmpo, or choose a more suitable player conservatively. Now they are more optimistic that the Spurs will be patient and should not be under any pressure to give up the second pick. The young lineup can maintain enough trust and believe that the Spurs will not use the second pick as a bargaining chip.

Rumor 3: The Warriors "very hoped" to keep Jonathan Kumingga

Kumingga obviously has not been very smooth with the Warriors in the past few seasons. As one of the most athletic players in the league, he averaged more than 15 points per game for two consecutive years, but the Warriors still do not have a stable position. This season was even completely DNPed after Butler's arrival. Despite this, the Warriors still claimed that they really wanted to keep Kumingga, and general manager Dunleavy said he was very important. The Warriors are still looking for Curry, 37-year-old Butler and Green, 35-year-old, and Cole are unwilling to let the 22-year-old Kumingga learn while making mistakes in the game. Therefore, the Warriors and Kumingga tend to part ways. It is best to sign first and then exchange. The latter is traded to a younger team in exchange for a more stable role and gain some experience in combat power.

Rumor 4: According to Lonzo Ball, Lamelo Ball will be traded to the Clippers

Trading rumors we can hear from anywhere, but the credibility of the brothers who are also playing in a league has greatly increased. Big Ball said in his blog, "I privately think Dylan Harper will go to the Hornets and Mello will go to the Clippers." This means that Harper will not be selected in the top four, and unless the Hornets trade upward, they will basically not get Harper.

Hornets are likely to trade three goals, but after the Clippers trade George and Harden, there are not many assets that can be used to trade, and there are not many talents in the lineup that can satisfy the rebuilt Hornets. Basically, there are no draft picks and players that can impress the Hornets, so we can believe that the three goals will be traded, but it will not be the Clippers.

Rumor 5: The 76ers used the Tanhua Lottery + George to get Kevin Durant or Laurie Markanen

76ers originally had hope of winning the championship this season, but their injuries caused them to withdraw from the championship early. However, the Tanhua signing gives them hope again next season. George has not met the team's expectations this season, so it is possible to bring George and Tanhua to the trading plan, among which Durant will be their biggest goal, so that not only will the lineup be upgraded, but the future salary space will also be cleared.

But this year is undoubtedly a year of drafts. It would be more or less a waste to exchange for a 37-year-old Durant with an annual salary of 49 million yuan for a 37-year-old Durant with an annual salary of 49 million yuan, unless it can be exchanged for an even more peak Antetokounmpo. Rookies like Espery or Chicomb can contribute immediately, and it shouldn't be believed that the 76ers will make such a stupid decision again.
