roved that O’Neal’s trade in the summer was also a lose-lose situation.
The Suns, who got O’Neal, didn’t improve much.
After O’Neal regained his weight, he could no longer run wildly with the audience.
Therefore, the Suns’ game fell into two extremes, “7-second offense” or “O’Neal”.
This seems reasonable, but in reality a team can only play one way most of the time.
“Shark” is not happy in Phoenix.
Let’s talk about several other teams in the Western Conference that have attracted much attention.
First up is the “Lucky” Warriors.
The trade in last year’s draft was originally a very conventional lottery exchange for two late first-round players.
After all, with the competitiveness shown by the Raptors Trident last season, they will get even better in the new season.
Who would have expected it? One at the end of the first round became Ibaka, who averaged 6.3 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.3 rebounds per game as a substitute
in his rookie season; the other first round has a high probability of becoming a lottery pick next year!
In addition to lamenting the way the Warriors management looks at people, I can only lament that Jiren has his own destiny.
And there’s more good news for the Warriors.
Although there are problems such as rough offensive skills and too many fouls, his talent is really visible to the naked eye.
Plus Livingston and Durant who continue to improve.
The Warriors are now in the playoff ranks.
Compared with the Pacers in the East, the performance of their youth army is more exciting.
Then another youth team that is also rising rapidly is the Trail Blazers.
After trading away Zach Randolph, Aldridge was finally corrected. He has also averaged 18 points and 7.5 rebounds per game so far.
Coupled with Brandon Roy and Al Horford, who are already performing well.
They have shown greater competitiveness than the Warriors and have rushed into the top half.
Then, there is the Grizzlies team where Rose, the No. 1 pick in 2008, belongs.
In fact, the Grizzlies have two high-quality newcomers this year, one is Rose and the other is Marc Gasol.
On paper, the Grizzlies have Rose, Mike Miller, Rudy Gay, Zach Randolph, and Marc Gasol.
This lineup looks very good, but so far, the team’s performance has been struggling.
The biggest problem is ball possession.
Rose, Gay and Randolph, and even Gasol are all players who need the ball in their hands.
With these people starting together, one ball is simply not enough to score points.
The biggest headache at this time is the team management.
And a key thing to mention here is Jerry West.
If he hadn’t left, this lineup would have allowed him to perform well.
Some people will definitely ask where Jerry West went after resigning.
Man is now the Warriors’ President of Operations!
Back to the Grizzlies, although everyone is grabbing the ball, Rose still averages 15.1 points and 5.2 assists per game.
Gasol also had 10 points and 7 rebounds.
Two newcomers are worth looking forward to.
