96.5 million in the maximum salary in two years, it is difficult to find the next one to take over! LaVincen is overrated team boss

This summer, many teams in the western part of the NBA participated in the arms race. In addition to the biggest favorite to win the championship, the Clippers + Rockets + Nuggets have the strength to challenge the defending champion after strengthening the lineup. In addition, what should not be underestimated are the Timberwolves who entered the Western Conference Finals for two consecutive seasons and the Mavericks who made a comeback. In contrast, the Warriors were not in any way during the offseason and were all tied to the Kumingga transaction. The Warriors' attitude is very clear. 45 million in two years is the limit. They require Kumingga to give up the veto power of trading and bring the team options, and the bottom limit is unshakable. Kumingga's attitude is also clear. If you don't accept it, then just drag it on. At worst, you can accept a quotation of 7.9 million yuan in one year on October 1, and it will be a big hit. Anyway, the Warriors dare not sign people before October 1st, so no one can think of it.

And in the past month, the closest thing to getting Kuminga is the King. The King is willing to take out the first round of Monk + protected, and in addition, he gave Kuminga a three-year contract of 63 million. However, due to the basic year principle, the Warriors must take advantage of one of Hilde or Moody, and the two sides are in a deadlock. The Warriors followed the team reporter bluntly said that if the Kings picks the first round without protection, the transaction will be completed soon! But the Kings are not willing to give the first round without protection. In the past 19 seasons, the Kings have missed the playoffs in 18 seasons and are always in the lottery zone, so they will definitely not give it. It will be difficult for the Kings to get Kumingga at least next season, but the team is already in dire straits! In ESPN's words, the worst three in the league are among the Kings.

DeRozan is old, Sabonis is powerless, but the culprit is Laven. This starts half a year ago. At that time, the Spurs + Kings + Bulls reached a three-party deal. Fox called for joining the Spurs, and got what they wanted. The Spurs compensated the Kings three first-round picks, and the Bulls got a first-round pick, sent Lavin to the Kings, and took the contracts for role players such as Collins + Hurt + Trey Jones. The Bulls started selling LaVin in the entire league since 23 years, and finally gave it out in 25 years. In the end, they only received one first round. The King of LaVin even had three first round compensation. Why? Lavine is worthless! After coming to the Kings last season, Raven averaged 22.4 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 51.1% + 44.6% in both events.

LaVin's shooting efficiency is very high: last season, the players who averaged more than 3 points per game in the league, LaVin's shooting percentage was the first in the league, and Powell, who ranked second, was only 41.8%! However, LaVin was originally qualified to renew the contract with a maximum salary of 224 million in the offseason, but in the words of famous reporter Amik, the Kings would not provide LaVin with any contract renewal at all. In addition, the Kings also tentatively asked the league about LaVin's market conditions, and the results were like cold water: no team in the league is interested in LaVin. If the Kings are willing to pay the first round pick (at least two), perhaps some teams are willing to take over! Laven's salary in the new season is $47.5 million, ranking 15th in the league. 26-27 season player options, $48.97 million.

As two-time All-Star, as the former dunk king, as the team's boss (the first in the team in the round and scoring), as the most accurate three-point shooter in the league, he has a salary of 96.5 million in two years, why no one wants it? Four disadvantages: First, he only shoots, and his career assists and turnover ratios are no more than 2, and he has more than one single fight. Second, relying on three-pointers, the offense is unstable, and the lack of attacking and attacking means; third, Laven's defense is a big problem. Last season at the Kings, Laven's On-Off value was -6.4. He lost 4.0 points in a hundred rounds on the court, and when he was not on the court, the team won 2.4 points in a hundred rounds! A typical killing of 800 enemies will hurt one thousand of them! What's more important is his personality problem. He is not in the process of being a salty person and is self-righteous. When he was at the Bulls, he had too many conflicts with his teammates' locker room.

Even when Lavin was sent to the Kings, even the US media joked that Lavin's team cannot be without DeRozan, which is the "bridge" for Lavin to communicate with the team. DeRozan is a good old man, but LaVine is a bad boy! The king was also very passive. In the previous pursuit of Kumingga, some media reported that as long as Kumingga came to the king, the king could only send DeRozan away! Sabonis is determined to leave the team. As long as the King lets Sabonis leave, they will be forced to make a fuss! The reason why Naraven was put aside was because the king was very determined: he wanted to send Raven away, but he did not accept any form of back-off payment (take the first round pick)! So what to do in the new season? DeRozan and the team had a gap, and Sabonis sighed.

To be honest, every move of the Kings in recent years has been surprising. For example, in order to keep Fox, he easily sent Halliburton to the Pacers. The Pacers reached the Eastern Conference Finals for two consecutive seasons, and they all reached the finals last season. Halliburton grew into a top-tier league giant! Fox finally left, and it was exchanged for LaVin. When he arrived at LaVin, he could not get anyone at all, so he could only wait for his contract to expire! But according to this situation, the Kings will be dragged down as soon as next season. Without seeing hope, Sabonis can take the initiative to ask to leave the team. So what else does the King have? In the next seven years, what they lack the most is the first round pick, so it’s better to play the bad luck and rebuild it with peace of mind!
