Lhe NBA season has not yet entered its final stretch, but Speculation is already beginning to be made about the movements that some teams could make next summer to strengthen your projects. This is how the best league in the world works, where rumors and fans’ dreams are the order of the day. whether they are fulfilled or not.
Wrong, wrong with superteams… even if they don’t work
Just a few months ago the Lakers exchanged to Kyle Kuzma, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope y Montrezl Harrellalong with a first-round pick by Russell Westbrook. And a few weeks ago Nets and the Sixers exchanged to James Harden por Ben Simmons. But the superteams do not finish working. The injuries of stars like Anthony Davis, Bradley Beal, Kevin Durant, Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, Jamal Murray o Michael Porter Jr.to name a few, make some franchises already plan big moves for next summer.
These are the three new superteams that could be formed according to the information handled by the prestigious American website Fadeawayworld.netwhich argues how they could crystallize. It’s not easy for some players… but it’s not impossible.
Philadelphia 76ers
The Philadelphia set could be the new home of Bradley Beal offering to the Washington Wizards a Tobias Harris, Tyrese Maxey, Matisse Thybulle, 2023 first round pick. Bradley Beal will become a free agent this summeror, and the latest rumors indicate that he is interested in teaming up with Joel Embiid and James Harden in Philadelphia.
The Sixers they don’t have room in the salary cap to sign Beal with a maximum offer, so signing and trading is your only viable option. Tobias Harris turns 30 in the summer and must collect 77 million the next two campaigns. Therefore the Sixers could put two good young players in the pack like Tyrese Maxey and Matisse Thybullealong with a guaranteed first-round pick.
Beal, Harden and Embiid, very complementary
In the event that this movement bears fruit, the Sixers will immediately become one of the big favorites to the ring in 2023 with the fearsome Big Three that they formed Bradley Beal, James Harden and Joel Embiid, after perfectly complementary players. ‘La Barba’ in a supposedly bad year, he is still the second player in the NBA in points created after assists with 25.5 per game. Beal and Embiid will have assured supply in a Sixers that will have a star quintet: James Harden, Bradley Beal, Danny Green, Georges Niang y Joel Embiid.
Los Angeles Lakers
The Los Angeles team could receive John Wall y Christian Woodgetting the Rockets in exchange for Russell Westbrook and Talen Horton-Tucker. Westbrook’s situation is already untenable. His dismal performance has caused Los Angeles fans to whistle and insult him. Its value has dropped so much that some NBA analysts believe he will have trouble signing even a minimum contract when his contract is up. the general manager Rob Pelinka would be planning to negotiate with the Rockets in exchange of John Wall y Christian Wood.
The unknown is sFind out how John Wall (31 years old) will be after a season without playing due to injuries and if he would accept a more secondary role in the Lakers after always being the protagonist. It will be a drama for Lakers get rid of Westbrook and that Wall arrived out of shape, slow and uncoordinated. Last season andIn 40 games, I averaged 20.6 points and created 18.2 points per game. with your assists. Without being an excellent shooter, throws better than westbrook and, without a doubt, he defends better than him.
Christian Wood, good intimidating replacement for Davis
And with Christian Wood the Lakers They will have a pvot of guarantees to give rest to Anthony Davis with his ability to alter shots a much needed intimidation when ‘La Ceja’ isn’t there on court If this supposed operation were successful The Lakers will have a starting quintet made up of John Wall, Austin Reaves (if Malik Monk leaves in the summer), LeBron James, Christian Wood and Anthony Davis..
Los Angeles Clippers
The other set of Los Angeles could be done with the most intimidating pvot in the NBA, Rudy Gobertoffering Utah Jazz an interesting pack made up of Ivica Zubac, Norman Powell and Terence Mann. It might not seem like much to the Jazz, but rumors of continued Gobert’s disagreements with Donovan Mitchelland with his coach, Quin SnyderThey don’t stop.
The Jazz have excellent shooting wings (Bojan Bogdanovic, Royce O’Neale, Jordan Clarkson and Joe Ingles) who have problems in defense to contain their rivals. Norman Powell and Terence Mann are great defenders. and Zubaka great defender capable of creating points on his own, even from mid-range, would be the replacement for Gobert.
The Clippers trade some of their bench depth for the opportunity to become one of the best defensive teams in the NBA. They have not been able to count this season on Kawhi Leonard, recovering from a cruciate ligament injury. And her second superstar, Paul George He has only played 26 games due to an elbow problem.
A rarely seen defensive hat trick
Leonard is one of the best one-on-one defenders in the last ten years, able to stop Giannis Antetokounmpo or Stephen Curry. AND George has formed four times of the best defensive team in the NBA in his 12-year career. If you join them Gobert (three-time Defensive Player of the Year) covering their backs, it would be difficult for the rivals to break the defensive web of some Clippers who would have a starting quintet with Reggie Jackson, Paul George, Kawhi Leonard, Marcus Morris Sr. and Rudy Gobert.
Complicated exchanges, but not impossible
Right now it’s hard to think that the Jazz can be released at the end of the season Rudy Gobert. Or that the Rockets let go of John Wall in exchange for a disastrous Russell Westbrook this campaign. Even that the Wizards release Bradley Beal. But if the NBA shows something year after year, it is that everything is possible in this business. Did anyone expect two months ago that the Sixers would sign James Harden? Someone predicted at the beginning of the season that the Blazers they will destroy your team intercambiando a CJ McCollum, Norman Powell, Robert Covington?
You have to think that Bradley Beal could be tired of losing in Washingtonpaving the way for an exchange between the Sixers and ones Wizards that several young people with a lot of projection, new blood in their team, would implement. The RocketsFor their part, they could trust rehabilitate Westbrook if they are not confident in the full recovery of the injured John Wall. And if the Jazz fall in first the second round of playoffs by sixth to the consecutive one, do not rule out that they make important movements to change their structureamong which could be the departure of Gobert.
