A few days ago, the NBA preseason is playing in the water, the league's teams basically all debut, but for now, some teams still have the need to seek change through transactions, the U.S. media "NBA analysis network" combined with the current state of the league, predicted the five deals expected to be reached before the start of the season, take a look at it

The first: Pacers and Clippers to reach a 3 for 1 deal

The trade package is as follows: Los Angeles Clippers send Marcus Morris, Brandon Boston Jr. and a 2029 first-round pick.

Indiana Pacers send: Myles Turner

The new season of the Clippers will usher in a fully healthy lineup, Leonard, George's return to their strength, when they will launch an attack on the championship, and Wall's arrival in a certain degree to alleviate the Clippers in the tandem organization's shortcomings, but they have always lacked a strong point in the interior, Cuba has improved, but his ceiling and mobility is not enough, and in last season averaged 12.9 points 7.1 Turner, who averaged 12.9 points, 7.1 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.7 steals and 2.3 caps, was able to bring the Clippers protection from the box and space.

The Pacers acquired veteran Marcus Morris in this deal, who is good at guiding the team's young players, junior Brandon Boston is a potential rising star, and the 2029 first-round pick is the Pacers' biggest gain from the deal.

Second: Nets 1 for 1, Seth Curry back to Maverick

Brooklyn Nets give up: Seth Curry.

Dallas Mavericks send: Reggie Bullock.

With Bronson joining the Nicks, the Mavericks have one less reliable ball-handling scorer on their bench. The return of Seth Curry certainly addresses that, as Seth Curry was able to slash 15 points, 3.1 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game last season. In the playoffs, he not only showed strong 3-point shooting, but also was able to take on some play initiator duties.

For the Bucks, with Joe Harris back from injury, Curry's play will undoubtedly be reduced quite a bit. Bullock has a tough defense and a trustworthy 3-point shooting ability. In this year's playoff game against the Warriors, Bullock had an impressive performance, shooting 6 of 10 from 3 and scoring 21 points, and his arrival will strengthen the Bucks' front line.

Pen 3: Kings, Spurs, Bulls three-way trade

Potential trade scenarios are as follows: San Antonio Spurs get: Damion Mitchell, Alex Len, a top-10 protected 2023 first-round pick.

Chicago Bulls receive: Jacob Purcell.

Sacramento Kings get: Caruso.

All three teams traded with a clear purpose, and all acquired the assets they wanted. For the rebuilding Spurs, they gained first-round picks and potential rookies, while the Bulls got strong interior linemen who can strengthen their box defense in the deal, with Peatier and Crevice one inside and one outside, the Bulls' interior line was undoubtedly given a huge boost. The Kings will also see a significant improvement in their defensive back court with the addition of Caruso, which will also have significant implications for their playoff push.

Fourth: Three-way trade between Erse, Rockets and Suns

Houston Rockets get: Matisse Sable, Landry Shame, Korma and Laden.

The Phoenix Suns get: Eric Gordon.

Philadelphia Erse get: Jane Crowded.

The Suns have publicly stated that they will send Crowded out of their preferred team before the start of the new season, and the Erse are undoubtedly a good place to go. As a 3 player, Crowded can further strengthen the Erse' front line, and Crowded can be described as old and strong, and his role is far from being reflected in the data. Gordon, who is averaging 13.4 points per game and shooting 41.2% from three, could be a great partner for Paul. The Rockets, on the other hand, gained defensive stalwart Sable and quality three-point shooter Korma, the type of player they are currently lacking.

Fifth: Devin Booker to the Nicks

Specific trade package: Suns send: Devin Booker.

New York Nicks send: Evan Fourier, Cam Reddish, Obi Topping, 2023 first-round pick, 2024 first-round pick swap, 2025 first-round pick, 2026 first-round pick swap and 2027 first-round pick.

For the Suns, who are in internal turmoil at this stage, any trade could happen, and if Booker gets tired of the uncertainty and wants to play in a big ball market, the deal has the potential to happen. For the Nicks, hollowing out the future is also worth it. To get a top scorer like Booker is something they can only dream of. Last season Booker averaged 26.8 points, 5 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.4 caps, shooting 46.6 percent from the field and 38.3 percent from 3. Such ability is undoubtedly among the ranks of superstars, and he has the ability to lead the Nicks back to the playoffs.

The future of the Sun is not clear, the team is in the owner Caviler scandal storm, currently more rumors Caviler intends to sell the team, plus the main center Aston and head coach Monty and the team's management has also produced a gap, all signs indicate that the Sun has been out of the road to compete for the championship, through the Devin Booker trade to get a lot of draft picks is obviously worth considering.

For the above five potential trade options, which one do you think is close to reality? Feel free to leave your comments in the comments section!
