Durant partnered with James and Doncic?

According to CBS sports reporter Robby Kalland, the Lakers management intended to obtain Durant through a deal before he was sent to the Rockets, thus forming the three giants of James, Doncic and Durant. Reeves, who refused to sign the contract extension, will become the main bargaining chip. However, because the Rockets are determined to win and Adu already has a desire to belong, the deal was ultimately not achieved as expected. However, it is not impossible for Durant to go to Los Angeles. The 25-26 season has not officially started yet, and the compatibility of Adu and Rockets players is still an unknown. Once the Rockets' record ranking in the early stages of the regular season fails to meet expectations, stop the loss and send Durant away in time, retaining the hope of continuing to strive for the NBA championship, it will become the next key task of general manager Rafael Stone. This will be the best opportunity for the Lakers management to get Adu. Even if they cannot win the championship, the huge commercial value brought by Durant's joining will prompt General Manager Pelinka to get him at all costs.

Recently, the US media "Fadeaway World" suggested that the Lakers management quoted the Rockets' All-Star forward Kevin Durant before and after the All-Star Game. His Big Three combination with Doncic and James is expected to replicate James' miracle during the Heat and Durant's Warriors, and once again launch an attack on the championship. Reeves is expected to become Jaylen Green's replacement. In addition, the Rockets management can also recover a valuable first-round pick given out by Durant's trade. The media provided a 5-for-1 trading offer to the Lakers and Rockets. The specific trading plan is: the Lakers give Austin Reeves + Hachimura Shizuo + Gab Vincent + Maxi Claiber + Kevin Durant of the Rockets in 2029.

Doncic led the team to the top 16 in the group stage of the Men's Basketball European Championship, but high-intensity games inevitably brought him hidden dangers of injury. Bogdan Bogdanovic of the Clippers withdrew from the game due to injury, and Lakers fans are worried that Doncic will find it difficult to deal with it calmly after losing weight. James is about to turn 41 years old, and his physical fitness problems and athletic ability will lead to him giving up possession. The Lakers will rely more on Doncic's scoring and organizational connection in the new season. The compatibility issue between James and Doncic has always been a heart problem with head coach JJ Redick. They have partial overlap in position and function, and have not yet achieved the effect of 1+1>2. Durant's addition is like a binder. He can both take the ball and start attacks, and he is good at playing without the ball, and can gain his own place in any tactical system.

The more critical point is that Durant's joining will give James and Doncic more rest time. If these three players can enter the playoffs with healthy physical fitness and abundant physical fitness, even the defending champion Thunder and the powerful Nuggets will not be able to pose a threat to them. For the Rockets, the four players contracts received will expire soon and will not affect general manager Raphael Stone's operations next summer. Reeves averaged 34.9 minutes per game last season, scoring 20.2 points, 4.5 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.1 steals, and shooting percentage of 38% from three-pointers. Finney Smith can replace Dillon Brooks with the vacancy after leaving, and Reeves and Jaylen Green's average data are almost the same, so the Rockets management can minimize the losses when introducing Durant through this deal.
