Are the Rockets, Lakers and Timberwolves planning a three-party deal? Reeves assists Edwards?

The biggest news for the Lakers this summer is that the team was acquired by $10 billion, but this acquisition did not bring any substantial changes to the Lakers' lineup. Therefore, General Manager Pelinka is under tremendous pressure, so he boldly said in an interview with the media: "We will be extremely active in the free market, and try to search every stone and use up all the resources given to us by the new labor-management agreement. This is the mission of the Lakers management." But leaders who can only shout slogans are not good leaders. Lakers fans hope that substantial transactions will occur, especially at the No. 5 position, which has reached the point where they have to make adjustments. In addition, Reeves officially rejected a four-year contract renewal of $90 million for the Lakers management. He wants to pursue a five-year maximum salary of $240 million next summer. It may be difficult for the Lakers management to keep this talented young defender.

Recently, the US media "FW" gave a suggestion that the Lakers management will use Gobert, the best defensive player in the league, as the number one target for signings. Doncic and James have strong support and passability, and can exert Gobert's restraint in the inside to the extreme. The Rockets and the Timberwolves are involved. If the negotiations go well, Reeves will go to Minnesota to assist Edwards. The Rockets' goal is Vincent, who has the same attributes as VanVleet. The specific trading plan is: 1. The Lakers send Reeves + Hachimura + Vincent + 2029 Lakers' first round pick + 2030 Lakers' first round pick swap rights to get Rudy Gobert; 2. The Rockets send Langdale + 2031 Rockets' second round pick to get Gab Vincent; 3. The Timberwolves send Gobert get Reeves + Hachimura + Langdale + 2029 Lakers' first round pick + 2030 Lakers' first round pick + 2031 Lakers' second round pick + 2031 Rockets' second round pick.

This is a deal that the Lakers management hopes to happen. Although Gobert's competitive state has declined as he grows older, his influence in the small penalty area remains strong. The Lakers were eliminated 4-1 by the Timberwolves in the first round of the playoffs. Gobert made the most contribution. He was like O'Neal back then, raging the Lakers' fragile inside line. After Davis left, no one could limit his performance. This deal not only significantly improves the Lakers' inside strength, but also weakens its main competitors, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone. The only thing to worry about is that Gobert can quickly integrate into head coach JJ Redick's tactical system.

The Timberwolves hope to send away one of Gobert and Randall, while saving expenses, and supplementing their strength in other positions. Reeves is an offensive genius, with a high basketball IQ, a broad vision of passing, skilled ball control, rich scoring methods, and his performance at critical moments is trustworthy. His joining can greatly alleviate the defensive pressure faced by Edwards. But the Timberwolves management needs to face Reeves' contract renewal next summer, when he will become a full free agent, and all teams who want to get him can give a quote. For the Rockets, Vincent has a low tactical position in the Lakers, and the Timberwolves do not lack point guards, and he is expected to show his Heat in Houston. Van Vleet's success played a great incentive for Vincent. They all entered the league as undrafted picks, and they both played with tough styles, dared to fight and cherished every opportunity to play. If Shepard cannot prove the strength of the Tanhua Show in the second season, Vincent will replace him as the Rockets' first substitute point guard.
