Compensation for the Mavericks, warning the bad team, supporting the Lakers, assisting James, NBA President Xiao Hua is too smart

On May 13, NBA President Xiao Hua directly signed the No. 1 pick to the Dallas Mavericks. The so-called 1.8% probability is actually 100% when it comes to the Mavericks who gave Doncic to the Lakers. Many people had guessed it when the deal happened.

After this operation, the league can definitely be said to be killing four birds with one stone. Through this action, they completed four goals and gave James a chance to pursue the championship in both directions.

First, sending Flag to the Mavericks is a compensation, proving that as long as the team is willing to be in the league and are willing to be the Lakers for a long time, they will be rewarded. In addition, I also warn those teams who play badly, that you can't get a high pick if you have a poor record. The three teams with the worst record, the Wizards, Hornets and Jazz didn't make it into the top three, and the Hornets were ranked 4th, Jazz, 5th, Wizards, and Wizards were ranked 6th. It's useless to play badly.

Finally, they also sent a magical help to the Lakers, which means that the Lakers' offseason trading is better. Because this operation has been completed, it sends 4 signals. First, the Lakers are the favorites of the league. Everyone wants to have a chance, and NBA President Xiao Hua will help the Lakers compensate other teams.

Point 2, Doncic will definitely be the league's signature player in the next 10 years, so he will be sent to the Lakers. Then his free throws will definitely increase next season.

Point 3, the Lakers will definitely trade Reeves for a real superstar, and even Antetokounmpo does not need to be surprised when Antetokounmpo comes to the Lakers, because since Doncic can be given to the Lakers, re-compensate and give the Mavericks a No. 1 pick, why can't Antetokounmpo be given to the Lakers and then compensate the Bucks one No. 1 pick?

Point 4, the Lakers cannot pass the first round this year, but it is a blessing in disguise. If James really leads the team through the first round, it will be difficult to operate if he wins the championship. If your championship team has another superstar, that's unreasonable. If the league praises you, will other teams still play? It is because of this year's first round of Lakers that they have the chance to operate and win Antetokounmpo.

This situation also gives James more room for choice. Now that the league takes action, James can choose to stay with the Lakers to continue to compete for the championship, there is no problem at all. But he can also choose to leave the Lakers and switch to the Dallas Mavericks. After all, Irving and Davis are both good brothers for many years.

If the Mavericks are willing, they have already traded to get the chips from James, which is the first pick Flag, Flag and Doncic who have just won the Lakers in the next 15 years. The Mavericks can also have a combination of James, Irving and Davis, and this combination has more chances to win the championship. Therefore, this draw is really a killing of multiple goals in one go, killing four birds with one stone.
