Beijing time on December 14, the NBA regular season continued, the Warriors 102-100 narrowly beat the Pacers, and this game, the Warriors scandal trading target Miles Turner performed poorly, only 6 points in 10 shots, although he grabbed 10 rebounds to send 4 blocks, but in the final moments of the game, Turner once again made the mistake of not getting stuck, and finally was grabbed by Looney to rebound in the front court to win the second offense.
Since the Pacers announced the rebuild, many Warriors fans have suggested that the team find a way to trade Turner to strengthen the Warriors' No. 5 position. If you only look at the statistics, Turner can average 12.8 points, 7.5 rebounds and 2.8 blocks per game, and the three-point shooting rate has reached 37.8%, which seems to be very suitable for the Warriors.
But there are many journalists who oppose the Warriors' trade with Turner, not only because the trade requires him to pay for potential newcomers such as Wiseman, Cumminga or Moody, but more importantly, turner's performance is not as good as the data reflects, such as this game, after the Warriors face to face inspection, it should be found that Turner has two more serious shortcomings.
One is that Turner's offense is too far-fetched, and in this game, he has shot a total of 10 goals, six of which are outside the three-point line. For a big player who is 2 meters 11 meters tall, it is certainly a good thing to shoot three-point shots, but if the whole game is floating outside the three-point line and does not go to the basket, it is not necessarily a good thing. Especially this season, the Warriors are not short of three-point shooters, and Thompson is about to return, in this case, they may need a stable pie under the basket, rather than standing on the inside line outside the three-point line.
The second is Turner's defense, many people think that Turner's blocking ability is strong, so it is equivalent to good defense, but is this really the case? Judging from the situation in this game, although Turner sent 4 blocks, please note that the Warriors' interior score is as high as 60 points, accounting for 58.8% of the Warriors' total points, higher than the Pacers who have all-Star interior Sarbonese Jr. Scoring. Not to mention that in the final moments of the game, Turner also made the fatal mistake of not losing defensive rebounds under the basket.
Frankly, if the Warriors have a junk contract, then trading Turner with a draft pick, or even if Wiseman can exchange Turner 1-on-1, is barely something to consider. But now the situation is that the Warriors have no garbage contract at all, and if they want to match Turner's contract, they must produce at least 2 high-level rookies, and they have to add Looney, which is equivalent to 3 for 1. Turner's help to the Warriors is limited, and it is obviously not cost-effective to trade him for such a large price.
