Are the Rockets, Lakers, Hawks and Knicks planning a four-way deal? Whitmore assists James?

How realistic is the NBA league? If it is a weak team, no star who is in his playing age is willing to join. But when this team successfully emerges from the circle with its existing lineup and has the ability to compete for the NBA championship, admirers will come one after another. The Rockets are such a magical team. Five seasons of bad work have allowed General Manager Raphael Stone to accumulate enough talented players. With the support of strong coach Uduka, the team's appearance has been completely renewed. So this summer, many All-Star players including Antetokounmpo, Durant, Jaylen Brown, Ju Holiday and Trae Young have all trade rumors with the Rockets. But at this time, the general manager Stone seemed particularly sober. He no longer wanted to recruit superstars to join, but instead preferred to make minor repairs to the lineup.
Recently, the US media "NBA Analysis" suggested that the four teams, Lakers, Rockets, Knicks and Hawks, will negotiate a four-party trading offer during the offseason this summer. If the negotiations go smoothly, blue-collar center Miro is expected to join hands with talented small forward Whitmore to go to Los Angeles; the Rockets management's goal is the Clippers' former player Mann, who was once a non-sale product of the Clippers' management, and even if it was not involved in Harden's transaction negotiations, but after signing a three-year, $47 million contract, his cost-effectiveness is no longer high and he was eventually abandoned by the Clippers; the Knicks hope to strengthen the strength of the substitute lineup so that more players can play; the Hawks management is eager to take the opportunity to accumulate first-round draft picks. The specific trading plan is: 1. The Lakers send Gabe Vincent + Dalton Kneckett + the 2029 Lakers first round pick (1-4 pick protection) to get Mitchell Robinson + Cameron Whitmore; 2. The Rockets send Cameron Whitmore + Jock Landare to get Terrence Mann; 3. The Knicks send Mitchell Robinson to get Gabe Vincent + Dalton Kneckett; 4. The Hawks send Terrence Mann get Jock Landare + the 2029 Lakers first round pick (1-4 pick protection).
As the Knicks were eliminated by the Pacers, the two teams that stood on the NBA Finals stage were finally produced. Compared with the calmness of the Western Conference, the team that advanced to the Eastern Conference was deeply surprised. Neither the Cavaliers nor the defending champion Celtics could make it to the end. The Knicks, which had made great efforts to strengthen, had hope of standing out, but because the substitute lineup was too weak, they were unable to hold on until the end. General Manager Leon Ross learned from his mistakes and hoped to complete the reinforcement of the lineup this summer's offseason. Vincent is a defender with fierce defense and tough playing style. He has helped the Heat reach the NBA Finals. His joining can share Brunson's on-field pressure and give him more rest time, which is extremely important for the Knicks. And Knector is a forward with fierce offensive firepower, and is good at seizing the opportunity to shoot at open positions.
Mitchell Robinson is a seriously underrated player, especially his great contribution on the defensive end. He only played 17 regular season games for the Knicks due to injuries this season, but his 7-foot height, attractive static talent and a pair of super big players make him feel very present on the defensive end. His shortcomings are that his basic skills are rough, his offensive methods are relatively single, and his playing style is similar to the Mavericks starting center Gafford. Gafford is the most suitable inside player for Doncic by coach Jason Kid, so Mitchell Robinson is expected to make a big move in Los Angeles. In addition, the talented Whitmore can provide passion and vitality to the Lakers, and he can get more guidance around James and Doncic.
