The Rockets, Lakers and Bulls are planning a three-party deal, are Vucevic and Kobe White involved?

The Bass family, the Los Angeles Lakers holder, sold most of the team's equity at a valuation of tens of billions of dollars. This news caused a sensation in the American media industry. Is the Lakers team really that valuable? The famous reporter Wendhorst gave the answer. The money the Lakers made in the last week of broadcasting contracts on the local level is equivalent to the entire season of the Grizzlies, and that's the gap. If the Lakers can successfully enter the NBA Finals this season, their ratings will probably have more than doubled. 39-year-old James remains among the top stars, with strength and fame coexisting. Doncic has successfully lost weight and his physical condition has returned to the best level. The Lakers' goal for next season is still the championship, but General Manager Pelinka first needs to solve the problem of no one in the starting center. So who would be the best candidate for the Lakers' No. 5 position?

Recently, the US media "Fadeaway World" suggested that the Rockets, Lakers and Bulls discuss a three-party transaction quotation to achieve the goals they need. If the negotiations go smoothly, the Bulls' double-double center Vucevic will make up for the vacancy after Anthony Davis left; Kobe White is expected to go to Houston to assist Jaylen Green, the specific trading plan is:

1. The Rockets sent Aaron Holiday + Jock Landale + the 10th pick in 2025 to get Kobe White;

2. The Lakers sent Gab Vincent + Maxi Cleber + the Lakers' first round pick in 2029 to get Nickla Vucevic;

3. The Bulls sent Kobe White + Nickla Vucevic to get Aaron Holiday + Jock Landale + Gab Vincent + Maxi Cleber + 2 future first round picks.

Vucevic is 34 years old this year, has a height of 2.08 meters, an arm span of 2.25 meters, and weighs 118 kilograms. He averages 31.2 minutes per game this season, contributes 18.5 points, 10.1 rebounds and 3.5 assists, shooting percentage of 53% and three-point shooting percentage of 40%. According to The Athletic reporter Shadab Khan, the Bulls management has put Vucevic, Kobe White, Paway and Lonzo Ball on the trading shelves due to poor performance, and Josh Kiddy and Boozelis will become the core of the team building in the future. The Bulls won two valuable first-round picks in this deal, two players with unsecured contracts and two contracts with only one year left, which can not only clear up their salary space, but also obtain future assets, and provide young core Kiddy and Boozelis with more training opportunities. It can be said that they kill three birds with one stone.

Kobe White is a 25-year-old double-season guard. He averaged 33.1 minutes per game this season, scored 20.4 points, 3.7 rebounds and 4.5 assists, and shot 37% from three-pointers. He has the ability to create offensive space independently, has rich scoring methods, scattered offensive points, and has no particularly good skills, but the key lies in all-roundness. However, the Bulls management is more optimistic about the young Josh Kiddy, whose organizational tandem and defensive abilities are above Kobe White. The Rockets have been out of the first round of the playoffs this season, and the main reason is that the number one scorer Jaylen Green performs poorly. The addition of Kobe White can enhance the strength of the Rockets' second team and provide more tactical options for head coach Uduka. After the Lakers get Vucevic, the weak ring in the inside is expected to become a strong point. Unlike blue-collar centers such as Mark Williams and Gafford, Vucevic is more versatile, and the only thing that limits his performance is his increasing age.
