July 26th , according to the latest news from the US media "Fadeaway World", the league recently exposed a three-party trade plan involving the Los Angeles Lakers, Charlotte Hornets and Brooklyn Nets. The focus of the transaction mainly revolves around Nicolas Claxton, Josh Green, Dalton Knecht and Gabe Vincent.

According to the media simulation plan, the Charlotte Hornets will get the 26 -year-old center Claxton from this deal . He played for the Nets in the 2024-25 season, averaging 10.3 points, 7.4 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game, with a shooting percentage of 56.3% , showing good rim protection and inside efficiency. The Hornets hope to strengthen the center position through this deal and cultivate Claxton as the future inside core.

The Brooklyn Nets gained a lot from this deal. It is reported that they will get Grant Williams, guard Gabe Vincent, young scorer Dalton Knecht and a first-round draft pick in 2027. These assets can not only enrich the depth of the team's lineup, but also perfectly fit the team's reconstruction roadmap, especially the addition of draft picks and young players, which is expected to bring more long-term development potential to the team.

As for the Los Angeles Lakers, they acquired guard Josh Green in this three-way trade. Although the Lakers sent some rotation players and draft picks, the acquisition of the 24- year-old Green is seen as a reinforcement operation with both " immediate combat effectiveness + potential stocks " . Green played a total of 68 regular season games while playing for the Hornets in the 2024-25 season , averaging 7.4 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.1 steals per game, with an overall shooting percentage of 42.8% and an excellent three-point shooting percentage of 39.1% .

From the perspective of the Lakers management, Josh Green is more in line with the team's current tactical needs and lineup structure. He is not only capable of contributing on both offense and defense, but also has the potential to grow into a rotation core. If this three-way deal is finally reached, all three teams will have the opportunity to get what they need and achieve different degrees of breakthroughs and adjustments in the new season.
