NBA preseason is kicking off, the league's 30 teams after a summer break to make final preparations for the opening of the new season. At present, most teams in the league have basically completed their reinforcements, but for a few teams, his lineup still has various problems, such as the Lakers, who are still not looking for the best way to trade Willow, while the account strength looks strong in the Bucks, but also highly insufficient in the five position, there are deficiencies in rebounding and rim protection. American media "NBA analysis network" recently wrote an article broke the news, before the start of the new season, the league still has three deals are likely to be reached, which the Bucks, Lakers for the championship empty the future, the Heat also fill the success.

The first: the Nets 3 for 1, bringing the cap king to complement Durant

Specific trade proposal: Brooklyn Nets send Joe Harris, a 2027 first-round pick from the Philadelphia Erse and a 2028 first-round swap right.

Indiana Pacers send: Turner.

Turner is a big man who can fit into any system. His rebounding ability and rim protection are among the best at the five spot, and his arrival is like a drought for the Bucks, who are weak inside. In addition, Turner can also help the Bucks on offense, Turner averaged 12.9 points, 7.1 rebounds and 2.8 caps last season, he is good at eating pancakes down the line, but also has some 3-point shooting ability, his presence obviously does not eat the Bucks space. Since Simmons is not known for his shooting, this requires the five spot to be a big man who can open up space, otherwise Irving and Simmons will not be able to play their killing power to the interior. After this deal was completed, the Bucks' last weak link was also made up, and the strength was raised a level, however, the Bucks lost two more desperately needed first-round signings, which can be described as emptying out the future.

The second pen: Jazz 1 for 3 complete reconstruction, the Heat success to fill

Potential trade options are as follows: Utah Jazz send Mike Conley.

Miami Heat send: Duncan Robinson, Yurt Mervin and a 2023 first-round pick.

Last season, the Heat got Lowery can be said to win a piece of applause from fans, after all, Lowery is a championship guard, has a great big picture, and quite experienced, offensive and defensive strength is enough to see, he should have led the Heat have something to do. Unfortunately, in the playoffs, Lowery is trapped by injuries and obese body, a disappointing performance, his decline in form is visible to the naked eye, injury potential plus the age of 36, so the Heat had to add another available person at point guard, double insurance in order to let Riley completely down to earth.

Conley played 72 games for the Jazz last season, averaging 13.7 points, 3 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.3 steals. His shooting percentage and three-point shooting rate are quite objective. Although Conley is also a veteran on the verge of retirement, he plays calmly, does not take possession of the ball, and can attack and defend to bring help to the Heat with his attributes.

The third pen: the Lakers hollowed out the future to get James's desired person

The specific trading scheme is as follows: Los Angeles Lakers get Hayward and Eric Gordon.

The Houston Rockets get Plum lee and a first-round pick from the Lakers' 2027 class.

Charlotte Hornets get West brook and a first-round pick from the Lakers 2029.

This is a three-way deal involving the Lakers, Rockets and Hornets, for the Lakers, want to send Willow away will need to pay enough sincere chips, Hayward and Gordon are both James heart, is quite a good helper, Gordon in last season has an average of 13.4 points output, more than 40% of the three-point shooting rate, can defend, good at no-ball game, so he can become a turret around James. And although Hayward's attendance is not high, but he is very versatile on the court, can play the role of the Lakers organizational front line, can become the most perfect replacement for James.

The Hornets can get rid of Hayward's toxic contract in this deal, the Lakers' first-round pick is also valuable, and Willis can complement the three-ball to grow better and faster. The Rockets can harvest a first-round pick in the deal, which can be a solid gain. Plum lee is a great bouncing finisher under the basket, and despite not having the range, he can be a replacement for Sheepskin with his knack for cutting through the air and blocking shots down the stretch. For the above 3 potential deals, which one do you think is most likely to become reality?
