3:22pm, 1 June 2025Basketball

On June 1, the NBA playoffs are in full swing. Three trading trends came from the free market overnight. Among them, the Lakers are still the focus, paying attention to the two major inside players Clarkston and Gafford; the Clippers also have new goals, and had a scandal with three goals before, but now they are paying attention to veteran Holiday; Hornets' inside player Mawei may be sold off again this summer. Although they failed to join the Lakers, they still have attracted the attention of many teams.

NBA reporter Evan Sidery said: The Lakers' goal is a big player with athletic talent and can run at the basket, with the goal being Clarkston and Gafford.

After the Lakers failed to trade Mawei, they have always wanted to strengthen the inside, especially when they were eliminated by the Timberwolves in the first round of this playoffs, which makes them have to make changes. The Nets are willing to trade on Clarkston, it depends on whether the Lakers can provide a good offer. The chances are quite great.

Another Goverd may have a disagreement with the Mavericks and want to seek a salary increase and contract renewal. If the negotiations cannot be reached, it is very likely that they will be sent away. Doncic is still very familiar with Gafford. The two of them played together in the Mavericks before and had a good understanding. Once the Lakers can get it, the inside problem will be solved, which will be the main thing for the Lakers management this summer.

The Clippers also have new goals, and it seems that they want to further improve the point guard. This time the goal is to Celtic veteran Holiday. The Clippers have long been interested in him. They were sent away by the Bucks before, but unfortunately they were snatched away by the Celtics. Now they have another chance, so they are willing to try it. It seems that the Clippers want to improve the depth of the backcourt this summer, and do not want to put all the pressure on Harden. They had a scandal with three goals before, but now they are linked to Holiday again, it depends on whether they can get what they want.

Hornets plan to put Mark Williams on the shelves again this summer, and still want to send him away. He was sent away by the Lakers on this year's trading deadline, but unfortunately he failed the physical examination and the transaction failed. Although the deal failed, the Hornets still wanted to send him away, and it also attracted the attention of some teams. After all, he continued to play in the future and his physical condition was still good. It is reported that the Bucks, Bulls, Celtics, Raptors and Warriors are interested and everything will be officially started in the offseason.
