The Rockets, Lakers and Timberwolves discuss a tripartite deal? Reeves and Gobert are involved?

After the Timberwolves lost to the Thunder with a big score, they ended the entire playoff journey this season. Edwards has destroyed four MVPs including James, Jokic, Durant and Curry in the past two seasons, but he still failed to pass Alexander's level. Best defensive player Gobert's performance in this series was a disappointing one and was almost abandoned by head coach Chris Finch. It is no exaggeration to say that he is the culprit of the Timberwolves' failure to make the finals, and General Manager Rayden is in urgent need of sending away under salary pressure. But for the Lakers, which lacks center, Gobert has become a hot commodity. He played well in the first round of the playoffs against the Lakers. In the fifth key game, he scored 27 points and 24 rebounds in a large double-double, which left a deep impression on General Manager Pelinka.

Recently, according to the US media "Fadeaway" World" revealed that the three teams, Lakers, Rockets and Timberwolves, are expected to negotiate a three-party trading offer during the offseason this summer. If the negotiations go smoothly, Gobert is expected to go to Los Angeles to assist James and Doncic. The Rockets management's goal is Vincent, a point guard with rich experience and strong playing style. The specific trading plan is:

1. The Lakers send Austin Reeves + Hachimura Shizuo + Gabe Vincent + 20 The Lakers' first round pick in 29 years + the Lakers' first round pick swap rights in 2030 were Rudy Gobert;

2. The Rockets sent Jock Landale (unsecured contract) + the Timberwolves' second round pick in 2027 were Gab Vincent;

3. The Timberwolves sent Rudy Gobert to get Austin Reeves + Hachimura + Jock Landale + 1 future first round pick + 1 future first round pick swap rights + 1 future second round pick. Gobert's contract has three years left, with a total value of more than $110 million, making the Timberwolves management, which is already insufficient in capacities, even more stretched. The Lakers are facing Reeves' contract renewal problem. He has made a splash through his agent and tried the free agent market after the end of next season and sought a contract with an annual salary of more than $35 million. This is a contract renewal that the Lakers management cannot accept, so despite Reeves' outstanding form and great progress, general manager Pelinka may still send him away this summer. As Mike Conley grows older, the Timberwolves need to find a starting point guard to partner with Edwards in the backcourt. Reeves averaged 34.9 minutes per game this season, scoring 20.2 points, 4.5 rebounds and 5.8 assists. He has skilled ball control skills, elegant playing style, strong organizational and tandem ability, and accurate shooting. Except for his easy missed person on the defensive end, he can hardly find any shortcomings. The combination of Edwards and Reeves is full of expectations, and Randall, Naz Reed and Hachimura can fill the vacancy after Gobert leaves. For the Rockets, Vincent is a player with similar characteristics and resumes to Van Vleet. He entered the league with his lack of draft status. He has won his position with his diligence and hard work. He is good at using his strong body to make up for his height shortcomings. He once helped the Heat to enter the finals and had rich enough experience in the competition, that is, his combat power is greater than his fame. Compared to Shepard, who failed to prove himself, and the thin little Holiday, Vincent is more suitable for the tactical system of head coach Uduka. With this deal, the Timberwolves can quickly complete the weight loss work, save salary expenses, and continue to form a championship-level team around Edwards.
