The new season's training camp is coming up, and teams are currently thinking about how they can further improve their rosters in addition to preparing for training camp in earnest. The Bucks are the most talked about team this summer, with Durant applying for a trade and Irving not renewing his contract with the team, pushing the Bucks to the forefront of public opinion, although the two eventually stayed with the team, but for the Bucks, the team is in crisis. However, the current strength of the Bucks' books is very strong, only in the interior of the strength of some weakness, although they signed big Morris not long ago, but the team more than 2 meters of big men, can be few, plus Drawbridge, Griffin and Conundrum will not return, the Bucks still need to improve the team's interior strength through transactions.

Recently, the U.S. media "NBA Analysis Network" exposed a three-way deal, the Bucks can get the players they want in the deal, as follows: the Bucks get John Collins, Eric Gordon, Maurice Harmless; the Rockets get Ordovician, Galen Johnson, Dalton Sharp and a first-round pick from the Bucks in 2023; the Hawks get Simmons, David Wabash, Edmund -Sumner. So, this three-way deal, if reached, for the three teams, what are the implications?

For the Bucks, Simmons will not bring much help to the team, because Irving and Durant have ball-handling ability, they do not need a point guard who can not shoot, although Simmons has the ability to change the defense, with the height of the defense inside, but Simmons has not played a season, its back injury is also a time bomb, let him change the style of play to the four or five players, obviously a big risk, plus Simmons is also a very character player, the Bucks can be described as a tasteless abandonment. If you can trade Simmons for a ready-to-play player, naturally Durant and Irving are happy to see things.

In this trade, the Bucks get Collins and Gordon two immediate power, Collins is undoubtedly the player who can re-energize the interior of the Bucks, he is very young, play strong, and has unlimited energy, as an athletic forward, Collins is good at basketball and air cuts, 2 meters 06 height also allows him to play both the four, but also to meet the small ball system of the five. In the regular season last season, Collins was able to contribute 16.2 points, 7.8 rebounds and 1.0 caps per game. It is worth mentioning that he also shot 36.4% from three and finished with 52% efficiency. Compared to Simmons, Collins has the ability to guard the zone defensively and also has the attributes to open up the offense for Irving and Durant, making him a rare spatial interior player.

And Gordon averaged 13 points per game last season, but also shot more than 40% of the three-point shooting rate, and his level of defense does not show signs of decline, his arrival for the Bucks outside is a good supplement, compared to the small Curry, Mills and others, both offensive and defensive Gordon is more trustworthy, and Collins and Gordon are playing dedicated players, comprehensive, the Bucks in this deal is The Bucks are a solid earner in this deal.

For the Rockets, the Rockets hoarded a cadre of young talented players this summer, of which Porter, Green, Sheeting, Barbarism Smith Jr. is undoubtedly the cornerstone of the team, need to be focused on training in the new season, send away Gordon is an inevitable choice. In this trade program, the Rockets get a first-round pick, but also get Sharp, Johnson, such young players, natural and stable earnings. Although Ordovician's 2-year, $36 million contract is difficult for the Rockets to accept, but Ordovician is a good value for money player, last season, averaged 15 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, 3-point shooting rate of nearly 37%, can be one of the Rockets next summer trade superstar to end the rebuilding work chips.

For the Hawks, Simmons has been a player they want to get, in their eyes, Simmons is a three-time All-Star player at the age of 26, his defensive and organizational skills are what the Hawks are most interested in, in the last season, the Hawks showed a huge hole in the defensive end, its defensive efficiency is only 113, the bottom of the league exists. If there is a defensive stalwart Simmons and Murray's sitting, the Hawks' defense will come to the top level in the East. Simmons can switch to the four position when he comes to Atlanta and play the role of an organizational forward. If Trey Young, Murray and Simmons are accompanied by strong role players such as Hunter, Capella and Yukon, the strength of the Hawks will be greatly improved to do both offense and defense.

In a nutshell, this is a win-win-win trade proposal, what do you think about it?
