The Rockets, Lakers, and Mavericks each get what they want? Anji never does a loss-making business?

According to Lakers' team reporter Anthony F. Irwin, Lakers' starting center Hayes is dissatisfied with the decrease in playing time during the playoffs, and his chances of returning next season are slim. In this way, the Lakers will become a team without a center, and general manager Pelinka cannot expect two-way contract players Krock and Jamison to support the inside. Facing the same dilemma, the Mavericks, Irving's accidental injury made Jason Kidd's team stretched in the point guard position, and general manager Harrison needs to find a replacement to temporarily survive the crisis. This player needs to have rich experience in the competition and excellent combat ability. The contract period cannot be too long.

Recently, the US media "FW" traded. Four teams, Lakers, Rockets, Mavericks and Jazz, will negotiate on a four-party trading offer during the offseason this summer. If the negotiations go smoothly, the Lakers who lack centers, the Rockets who are scarce offensive, and the Mavericks who urgently need to strengthen the point guard are expected to achieve the goals they need. Of course, Jazz General Manager Angie never trades at a loss. His goal is the talented Whitmore and an unprotected Lakers first-round pick. The specific trading plan is:

1. The Lakers give out Dalton Kneckett + Gabe Vincent + the Lakers first-round pick in 2029 to get Daniel Gafford;

2. The Rockets give out Cameron Whitmore gets Dalton Kneckett;

3. The Mavericks give out Daniel Gafford + Dwight Powell gets Colin Sexton;

4. The Jazz give out Colin Sexton gets Gabe Vincent + Cameron Whitmore + Dwight Powell + 2029 to get the Lakers first-round pick. The Rockets urgently need to add a shooter, but General Manager Raphael Stone is extremely cautious about this. Uduka's team will inevitably build teams around Shin Kyung, Jaylen Green, Amen Thompson, Tari Ethan, Jabbarry Smith Jr. and Shepard in the future, so it is extremely important to find a player who is similar to their age and can integrate into the Rockets' tactical system as soon as possible. The 24-year-old Kneckett meets the signing needs of general manager Stone. Although he is only a first-year rookie, he quickly adapted to the high intensity and fast pace of the NBA game. He contributed 9.1 points, 2.8 rebounds and 0.8 assists during his 19.1 minutes of playing time this season, and scored 37.6% of his three-point shooting percentage. He can play Jaylen Green's substitute role in the Rockets and become the offensive fulcrum of the second team.

Lakers management gave up Mark Williams' deal before the trade deadline, and thus missed the opportunity to win the NBA championship. In the first round of the playoffs against the Timberwolves, blue-collar center Gobert made a request in the interior and repeatedly contributed large double-double data, playing like the big shark O'Neal at its peak, which is also the main reason for the Lakers' final defeat. As the Mavericks' starting center, Gafford averaged 21.5 minutes per game last season, contributing 12.3 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.8 blocks, and his shooting percentage was as high as 70.6%. Height and wingspan advantages ensure that he is very deterrent near the small penalty area; his excellent finishing ability at the basket ensures that he can convert Doncic and James' passes into assists as much as possible. It can be said that Gafford is one of the most ideal starting center candidates for the Lakers. The Mavericks already have two high-quality inside players, Anthony Davis and Lefly, so using him for point guard Sexton, who averages 18.4 points per game, meets general manager Harrison's trade expectations.
