Just today, according to Lakers' team reporter Joan Bu ha, the current Lakers' roster is not the ultimate roster of the team, and another change will come at some point. The Lakers are still actively seeking other ways to trade Willis and improve the roster before the start of training camp, the source said. Obviously, it is not difficult to understand, after the Lakers get Beverly, Willow and Beverly and no signs of ice, and the two people's feud is difficult to resolve in a short period of time, and now the Los Angeles media said that the Lakers also intend to join forces again Schroeder, if true, then the origin is quite deep Willow, Beverly, Schroeder three people on the same team, I really do not know if the Lakers are playing or acting next season.

For now, there are 3 lines of trade for Willis, one is a trade with the Pacers, Willis with first-round signatures for Turner and Yield, but the trade is slow to happen for two reasons: one, the Pacers do not want Willis's big contract, two, the Lakers do not want to part with two first-round signings. The first thing you can be sure of is that the Lakers have been eyeing Yield's 3 points for a long time, and also recognize that Turner can relieve the pressure of the thick eyebrows, but Permalink believes that both are not All-Stars and do not add up to the same value as Irving. The second line is to join Mitchell in a three-way deal, according to the U.S. media recently released news that the Lakers want to join the Jazz, Nicks in a deal to send Willis and draft picks to get the role players of the Jazz, the U.S. media believes that Angie gluttonous Lakers first-round signings, willing to send Beasley, Ordovician, Clarkson these players away, but the Lakers want to pay not the first round but the second-round signings. And the last one is, and the Spurs trade for Richardson, Dermot and Purcell these ready-to-play players.

However, the Lakers may take another route and choose to make a three-way trade with the Rockets and Heat to achieve the purpose of reinforcement. The source from the U.S. media BR, the Lakers, Rockets, Heat discussed the specific details of the three-way deal as follows: the Rockets sent Gordon, Martin, Wabash in exchange for Willow, the 2026 first-round pick swap rights from the Lakers, the 2027 first-round pick, and two second-round picks from the Heat, the Lakers sent Willow, a first-round pick, and a first-round pick swap rights to get Gordon, Wabash, and a Heat The Lakers sent Willis, a first-round pick and a first-round pick swap to get Gordon, Nouakchott and a second-round pick from the Heat; the Heat sent three second-round picks for Martin Jr.

For the Rockets, Gordon is a must-trade player, after all, there are too many young people need players next season, leaving Gordon will cause a lose-lose situation. And Martin Jr. has lost his position in the Rockets, in the 2 to 4 position, the Rockets have too many talented young people need playing time and ball, Martin Jr. also hope he can go to a team that really needs him. Being able to trade these players for 2 first-round picks and 2 second-round picks is definitely a solid deal, knowing that the Lakers' 2027 first-round pick is definitely worth a lot of money. And Willow back to the Rockets, may become the Serra "assistant coach", playing time is not much, but can share their rich experience to the Rockets young people. When Willow's contract expires next summer, the Rockets' payroll space will be freed up by more than 40 million gaps, so they can successfully sign other superstars and complete the rebuild.

For the Heat, 21-year-old Martin Jr. physical quality is very strong, as a forward-guard swing man, Martin Jr. can replace the position vacancy brought about by the departure of Tucker, last season Martin Jr. averaged 21 minutes, can get 8.8 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists, his shooting percentage reached 53.4%, three-point shooting rate of 36%, in general, is still efficient, in addition, he is playing 3-4 in the Rockets Rotation, if Martin Jr. continues to improve on his 3-point shooting, he can get consistent playing time off the bench for the Heat.

For the Lakers, in this deal to get rid of Willow's contract, got the playoffs experienced and strong Gordon, last season Gordon averaged 13.4 points, 2.7 assists and 2 rebounds, 3-point shooting rate of more than 40%, he is obviously in excellent 3-point ability and James is a perfect match, and Yield compared to Gordon in the defensive attitude and defensive ability out of a lot of strong. In addition, the Lakers retained the 2029 first-round pick and also got a second-round pick from the Heat, and still have the chips to adjust the roster later.

Wabash is a physically strong, defensively solid and plays with passion guard, who contributed 5.1 points and 3.3 rebounds per game last season with the Rockets and can be a trusted member of the Lakers bench. Overall, the Lakers also got the addition they wanted.
