The window period for the championship! The traffic team was eliminated early, the US media listed the trading plan of the three teams, and the Yonghuo Lake was listed
11:09am, 25 May 2025【Basketball】
For some traditional strong teams in the league, the 2024-25 season is like a roller coaster ride. Now all the traffic teams are out, and this year's NBA is destined to be the new king. Golden State Warriors are considering further actions to support Stephen Curry's pursuit of the fifth ring after getting Jimmy Butler. The Boston Celtics, facing salary cap restrictions and Tatum's absence due to a ruptured Achilles tendon, are considering a major adjustment to the roster.
Meanwhile, the Mavericks faltered due to Doncic's departure, and their goal was to adjust the lineup around Anthony Davis, Kyrie Irving and the No. 1 pick. The Los Angeles Lakers completed a huge deal in the middle of the season to get Luca Doncic, and now they are looking to expand their roster, especially inside players, who are eager to return to the championship.
For this reason, the US media fadeaway has provided 3 bold trading plans to help them return to the top spot.

Warriors traded to get Embiid
Trading background: The Warriors get Embiid, and the 76ers get TJD, Kumingga (signed first and then exchange), Podjemsky and the first rounds in 2026 and 2028.
Golden State Warriors, aiming to maximize the championship window for Curry, Green and Butler, pursue a bold move to get Embiid. Despite the impact of injuries, Embiid averaged 23.8 points, 8.2 rebounds and 4.5 assists in 19 games in the 2024-25 season. His presence will provide the Warriors with a large inside team that complements Curry's outside strength.
The addition of two first-round picks in the future highlights the Warriors' determination in the Curry era, because they must make major moves to return to the championship path, so a bet on Embiid may bring them back to their peak.
For the Philadelphia 76ers, the deal marks a major turnaround. After getting rid of Embiid, the team can build a younger team around Maxi, such as they get Kuminga and Jackson Davis to strengthen their frontcourt. In addition, Sister Bo (11.7 points, 5.1 rebounds) increased their guard rotation depth. If Embiid leaves, the next one to be traded may be Paul George, which may be what the Sixers need after years of disappointment, and that is the road to reconstruction.
Celtics sent Jaylen Brown away, and the Rockets welcomed the new king
Trading background: The Celtics got Jaylen Green, Dillon and the 10th pick in 2025, and the Rockets got Brown.
The Boston Celtics face salary cap restrictions and Tatum is absent due to an Achilles tendon injury. They chose to trade Jaylen Brown for Jaylen Green, Dillon, and the 10th pick in the 2025 draft. Among them, Brown averaged 22.2 points, 5.8 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game, and has become a cornerstone player for Boston. The Celtics' trade is imperative. However, this move allowed the Celtics to get Green, a scorer averaging 21.0 points and Dillon Brooks, whose tenacious defense (14.0 points, 3.7 rebounds) could bring a qualitative change to the team. The Rockets traded to Brown to accelerate their rise in the West, allowing Brown and their existing young core partners led by Shin Kyung and Amen to further enhance their competitiveness.
In addition, Brown's experience and offensive diversity can provide the Rockets with a reliable player that has the potential to enhance their position as a playoff contender, so the deal reflects Houston's ambition from reconstruction to competition. But thinking rationally, Brown's annual salary is 60 million, which is as good as Antetokounmpo's previous one, and at least he can use it for a few more years.
Lakers chase the Pelicans Jones
trading background: The Lakers get Jones, and the Pelicans get Knecott, Vincent and the second round pick in 2025.
The Los Angeles Lakers, aiming to use their championship window, got Herb Jones from the New Orleans Pelicans. Jones, known for his sharp defense, averaged 10.3 points, 3.9 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game before being injured at the end of the season. His joining will strengthen the Lakers' perimeter defense and support it with LeBron James, Luca Doncic and Austin Reeves. Los Angeles traded Knecht, Vincent and a second-round draft pick, greatly enhancing their defensive abilities while maintaining their core. The Lakers may be willing to trade Reeves for the right players, but they can keep him in this proposal, which will give them a strong position next year. After all, the Lakers are only ranked 15th in defense, and they can get an improvement at this point, and it is obvious that players will leave this summer.
In return, the Pelicans got a promising rookie Kennett and a reliable guard Vincent ($1.15 million) with a contract expired next season. The deal provides New Orleans with depth and potential future contributors, with second-round picks adding to their picks, leaving room for further development of the team’s roster.
