Bucks 1 for 3 trade program, get rid of the baggage can compete for the title?

After Durant and Irving announced to stay in Brooklyn one after another, the problem the Nets are facing today is how to build a roster that has the potential to compete for the title. Admittedly they have done some work this summer, such as signing Big Maurice, T Warren and Royce O'Neal, but these changes are not enough, and the Nets have a lot to do if they want to win the title. Although they now sit with Simmons, Irving, Durant's Big Three lineup, but the championship situation is not optimistic, the pair is very fragile in terms of stickiness, the final result presented may not be as good as expected, after all, Simmons' shooting is always a big problem, plus Durant, Simmons, Irving are all restless players inside, whether the three can fit is a big problem.

American media "NBA analysis network" reporter Peary reported that the Bucks are not through the dangerous period, Durant will still leave, and Irving will choose to go to the Lakers after his contract expires, the most embarrassing is that Simmons' top rookie contract is undoubtedly the biggest obstacle for the Bucks to trade Durant. Percy believes that the Nets can choose to send Simmons away early for some valuable chips, which in turn will have the effect of killing two birds with one stone, and he proposed a 3-for-1 trade package with the following details: Brooklyn Nets send: Ben Simmons; Denver Nuggets send: Aaron Gordon, Pop and a 2029 first-round pick from the Nuggets. So, what are the implications for both teams if this deal is reached?

For the Nuggets, when the team first recruited Gordon, they had high expectations for him, hoping he would grow into a top 3 player the team could trust, but unfortunately Gordon didn't do that. After the absence of Murray and Porter, Gordon should have taken on more responsibilities and become the biggest helper beside Joking, but Gordon averaged only 13.8 points, 7.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.6 turnovers and 1.2 caps per game last season, shooting 42.6% from the field and a dismal 20% from three, with a net efficiency value of -7.1. Considering that his offensive game is mainly attacking the basket, his net efficiency value is only -7.1. The Nuggets have made him a "fake star" with a good body but no outstanding performance.

The arrival of Simmons is undoubtedly a turnaround, next season Murray and Porter are expected to return, the Nuggets lineup more complete, the probability of winning the championship also increased significantly. The Nuggets have always been a tactical fulcrum on both the offensive and defensive ends of the team, which undoubtedly consumes a great deal of his energy, Simmons' arrival can help him share the defensive pressure, at the same time, Simmons' top passing ability can also help Mr. Jo. The strength of Murray in the offense can not be underestimated, but his organization level is poor, the first-class offensive level of Porter, in the defense is not top, Simmons just and Murray, Porter formed a complementary. At that time, Joking will focus on the interior and offense, Porter and Murray can use projection to pull space, Simmons is responsible for defense and organizational tandem, we all make the most of it, and the Nuggets through this deal will undoubtedly be a great strength, enough to break the existing pattern of the West.

So, the Bucks in this deal, whether to achieve profit? Although in last season Harden left the Bucks, but they are not short of ball-handlers, whether it is Durant or Irving, or small Curry, Mills have a certain ability to hold the ball, counting on Durant and Irving to give the ball to Simmons who has no shooting ability, it can be said that this is not realistic, plus Simmons has not played for more than a year, he refused to play for the Bucks in last season also triggered the dissatisfaction of teammates, so to speak. It is obviously very difficult to expect Simmons to play with Durant and Irving with uncommon chemistry. For the Nets, Simmons is a tasteless "chicken ribs", if you can get Gordon, Pop and a very valuable first-round pick, it is not impossible?

As we all know, although Pope is the number two player, can also play 3D attributes of the wing, in the Lakers won the championship season Pope assumed the role of Mr. Key, in addition, Pope's attendance rate is quite high. In the last season, Pope played a good performance in the Wizards, the average data came to 13.2 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.1 steals, including a three-point shooting rate of 39%. He is still as stable as ever. Compared to Jr. Curry and Mills, Pop can score and is better at defense, and, having experienced the Finals, Pop has playoff experience, which is hard to match for Jr. Curry, and Pop is more worthy of being entrusted with the responsibility.

And Gordon can help Durant share the pressure on offense and defense, and Gordon also has good shooting ability, very explosive, the Bucks also have more selectivity on the wings. In fact, Durant and Irving want helpers not fame how much talent how strong the stars, but some really willing to do the dirty work of the players. In short, the deal helps the Bucks solve a potential problem for the team, restructuring the team around Durant and Irving, and also helps the Nuggets meet the need for improved defense and organizational skills, a win-win trade solution.
