Officially announced the franchise! Hello, Durant! The 7-party big deal was officially born

The first seven-party big deal in NBA history was born, as follows:

The Rockets got Durant (Suns) and Capela (Hawks);

The Nets got two future second-round picks;

The Warriors got No. 52 Tuxi (Suns) and No. 59 Mashaq (Rocks);

The Hawks got second-round swap rights, Roddy (Rocks) and cash;

The Lakers got No. 36 Tierro (Nets);

Timberwolves got Zikarski (Hawks), two second-round picks and cash;

The Suns got Jaylen Green (Rocks), Dillon (Rocks), No. 10-round picks Maluach (Rocks), Fleming (Timberwolves), Brea (Warriors), Ploden (Hawks) and second-round picks.

The Rockets immediately issued a statement to welcome Durant and Capela's joining. The dust settled, and the god of death officially brought the scythe to Houston, and the Rockets entered one of the biggest favorites in the 25-26 season.

It is worth mentioning that since Capela ($21.5 million in 3 years) is in the transaction, it means that the Rockets did not sign him directly, but signed with the Hawks first and then exchanged. In contrast, Finney Smith ($53 million in four years) was not in the trade, but he signed a contract with the Rockets directly.

Why can't the Lakers discuss with the Rockets signing first and then exchange? Instead of losing him for nothing.

First of all, he is a completely free agent before joining the Rockets. He can choose his new home without being restricted, and can also exchange some assets for his old club in the form of a transaction like Capela.

The final result is known. Finney Smith is quite straightforward in leaving the Lakers. As for why? There are a few rumors that may give the answer.

1. Pelinka once discussed Finney Smith's ankle problem with other teams, trying to lower his price, which was later known by himself and his team;

2. The Lakers only provided Finney Smith with a two-year contract renewal with the goal of maintaining flexibility in the future, such as introducing a new super partner Doncic in the summer of 2027.

If the above two rumors are true, the Lakers did not give Finney Smith enough respect, so the latter naturally does not need to get along with this old club. In mid-June, Finney Smith successfully underwent left ankle surgery and is expected to resume before the start of training camp in the new season and participate in training
