Recently, the US media FW suggested a five-party big deal - Celtics, Mavericks, Nets, Nuggets, and Philadelphia. In this bold trade proposal, the Mavericks got Porter + Brother Zhu, while Green Kai, Philadelphia, Nuggets, and Nets got the talents they needed, and the Celtics could also reduce taxes and balance expenditures.

Big deal simulation:

Mavericks: Michael Porter Jr., Ju Holiday, Drummond (sign first and then exchange);

Celtics: Caleb Martin;

Philadelphia: Klay Thompson, PJ Washington;

Nuggets: Oubre, Gafford;

Nets: Christie, Marshall; (This five-party deal No draft pick assets were involved)

FW wrote: Getting Holiday can increase the Mavericks' outside defense, and their offseason goal is to find a stand-in for Irving's starting number one position; Porter Jr.'s joining can also increase the team's scoring ability, Drummond's arrival can make up for Gafford to run away, and the lineup around Irving, Davis and Flag are more complete.

The Celtics sent Brother Zhu away to save money. In addition to saving luxury tax, Holiday's salary for the rest of the three seasons was more than 32 million yuan. Green Kai was overwhelmed with two super top salaries, and Martin was also a forward guard who could make the appearance.

The Philadelphia 76ers are preparing to trade the No. 3 position in order to improve their lineup. If they can get two space points in the five-party trade, they will definitely be willing to participate. Embiid, George and Maxita need players who can open up space. Washington's arrival can also make up for the vacancy of trading George in the future.

Potter Jr.'s presence in the Nuggets' lineup is gradually declining, and the Nuggets are already overwhelmed in the small market. The team has always wanted to find a suitable No. 5 rotation for Jokic. Gafford is a good choice. Oubre will be more efficient with Jokic's help.

The Nets get versatile young assets Christie, and Marshall is also an instant combat power, and the Nets can prepare for subsequent transactions.
