Abandoned in the space of a season, the superteams could well make their return to the NBA during this off-season, with 5 teams likely to form alloys of talent with a devastating strike force. Because the rumors that crackle and in recent years have proven it: anything can happen in the NBA.
Minnesota Timberwolves : D’Angelo Russell – Devin Booker – Karl-Anthony Towns
Trade : 1st pick de la Draft 2020, James Johnson, Jarrett Culver, Josh Okogie, 17ème pick de la Draft 2020 contre Devin Booker
Devin Booker put on transfer list according to recent rumor, Minnesota was quick to come and take the temperature with the Suns. The Phoenix full-back has already claimed that he would one day like to team up with his great friends D’Angelo Russell and Karl-Anthony Towns, and form with them a most formidable big-three of the future in the Wolves.
Boston Celtics : Russell Westbrook – Jayson Tatum – Jaylen Brown – Gordon Hayward
Trade : Kemba Walker, Marcus Smart, 14ème pick de la Draft 2020 contre Russell Westbrook
Russell Westbrook’s departure soap has been shaking the league for several days now, and has already seen many rumors appear about its possible destinations. The Celtics, for their part, are said to be ready to swap Kemba Walker for another star point guard. They could therefore find common ground with Houston, and even keep Gordon Hayward in the process.
Los Angeles Clippers : Chris Paul – Paul George – Kawhi Leonard
Trade : Patrick Beverley, Lou Williams, Ivica Zubac, Rodney McGruder, JaMychal Green contre Chris Paul
In a similar vein, the Clippers have shown they want to strengthen their leadership position by speaking with the Rockets arounda giga-trade to bring in Russell Westbrook. But while their brand of leadership has been screaming in the last playoffs, a player like Chris Paul would be a great fit, and would ideally be able to distribute the balls to Kawhi Leonard and Paul George.
Brooklyn Nets : Kyrie Irving – James Harden – Kevin Durant
Trade : Caris LeVert, Spencer Dinwiddie, Jarrett Allen, Taurean Prince, 19ème pick de la Draft 2020 contre James Harden
Kendrick Perkins is convinced: James Harden will also be leaving Houston, and Reportedly considering teaming up with Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant at the Nets. If we can doubt the reliability of the sources of the old pivot, we can also fantasize about the level that the trio would display. Brooklyn should however perhaps play with 3 balls if this trade were to materialize.
Golden State Warriors : Stephen Curry – Klay Thompson – Draymond Green – Joel Embiid
Trade : Andrew Wiggins, Eric Paschall, 2ème pick de la Draft 2020 contre Joel Embiid
Chris Mullin assured it lately, Joel Embiid is THE piece that the Warriors’ roster lacks to make them the favorites for the title. And even if Daryl Morey multiplies the speeches of admiration towards his pivot, his inclinations of builder of the extreme could possibly push him to accept the assets of the future proposed by Golden State.
Several franchises can therefore consider the formation of the ultimate superteam in this offseason. The future will tell if one of them will succeed in doing so.
