After the Warriors lost to the 76ers, they also gave up the first place in the league to the Suns. Leading the NBA and once again becoming a title-contending favourite, something the Suns would have dared not have imagined before the 2020-21 season. The Suns had been weak for years, and the last time they made the playoffs was in 2009-10, when Nash led the team and now he's the Nets head coach. The Sun was once thought to continue to rot, because the team's signature star Booker was considered to be just a data brush.
The sun was able to turn over, and Paul was seen as the number one contributor. Suns interior core Ayton said, "I like Paul, he's the only player who inspires me to improve as a big brother. He knows the qualities I have, the qualities that I myself don't know I have." Instead of flattery, playing next to Paul, Ayton got more easy scoring opportunities, and the offensive stats were also rising. Defensively, under the subtle influence of Paul, Ayton's defense has also improved.
Before Paul arrived, Ayton had a title and was able to play some excellent stats. But most of the time, Ayton was just seen as a blue-collar worker, and it was difficult to influence the game. Last season, Ayton evolved into a first-class interior. The regular season improved significantly, with Ayton going further in the playoffs and helping the Suns reach the Finals.
Booker is the boss of the Suns, and Paul's arrival has led to a decline in his influence and ball power, but he is also happy to see it succeed. "He's still as good as ever, he's our leader, and he can find a shooter in an empty position on some incredible balls. That's the magic of him, a guy who doesn't need luxury stats to have a positive impact on the team is saying he's. Booker said. Paul was able to help the Suns win, and that's exactly what Booker needed. Booker's scoring ability has always been among the best in the NBA, scoring 70 points in a single game, but it is ironic that it only brushes the data because it is difficult to lead the team to win. Paul's arrival allowed Booker to focus more on offense, and while his efficiency increased, he also became a real winner.
Known as the first point guard in active service, he has brought excellent organizational skills and experience to the Suns. To make his teammates better, Paul also has a big hidden skill, that is, he is good at team building. Under Paul's leadership, the Suns' defensive level has also improved qualitatively, reaching the top of the NBA. This is also the key for solar energy to enter the championship ranks, reaching the finals last season and this season is also a favorite to compete for the championship.
Paul's role is visible to the naked eye, but he is still not the number one contributor to the rise of the sun, james Jones is. James Jones was a well-known shooter and won the All-Star three-point king. Also following James to 3 NBA championships, Jones is a winner and has accumulated enough experience. After retiring, Jones served as vice president of operations for Suns Basketball in 2017. In 2019, Jones became general manager, starting a series of operations.
Jones' first move was to sign Monty Williams before the start of the 2019-20 season, bringing a great manager to the team. Before the start of the 2020-21 season, Jones decisively took Paul. At the time, it wasn't particularly promising, and although it was well-known, Paul was trapped in injuries late in the Rockets and performed badly. Paul also earns a hefty $40 million salary, and the Rockets boss even calls it the worst contract in sports history. Although paul's state recovered after switching to the Thunder, it is not easy to say whether he will return to the light.
With 2 operations, Jones got 2 coaches on the sidelines for the Suns, and had the capital to rise. Coincidentally, the Bulls have been in the top 4 in the East for a long time this season, showing a strong recovery momentum, and the root cause is also the change in management, and the new general manager Mark Eversley dares to change.
Eversley took office in May 2020, and before that, the Bulls had been rotten for many seasons and were a famous fish belly team. In his first season at the helm of the Bulls, Eversley continued to move, and the Bulls' record did not improve. But after entering the offseason, Ivorsley seized the opportunity and continued to sacrifice a clever pen to complete the reinforcement. Paying for multiple draft picks, Everis traded deRozan from the Spurs. With the signing of Caruso and Vucevic, coupled with the original Lavin, the Bulls' book strength soared. It also withstood the test of actual combat, and the bull showed great combat effectiveness and was able to stand out again in the east. The last time the bull was so beautiful was in the Time of Rose.
The Lakers are a more successful example, after changing the boss and management, from fish belly to championship. In the Jim Bath era, the Lakers paid a high salary, but the record was unbearable, not at all the style of the former giants. Because of the poor record, Jenny Bass replaced her brother as the boss. Jenny also purged the former management, putting the Magic and Pelinka at the helm. The Magician recruited James for the Lakers, and the Lakers had a qualified cornerstone. After the magician left, Pelinka exchanged Anthony Davis and brought in a group of outstanding role players. The efforts of the Lakers' new management came to fruition in the 2019-20 season, winning the NBA championship that season.
For a long time, the Knicks were a symbol of the stupidity of money people, because of high salaries and poor records. But last season, the Knicks made a big comeback and made it to the playoffs as no. 5 in the East. This season, the Knicks, despite their ups and downs in form, remain a strong contender for the playoffs.
The Knicks can make a comeback, and the new president, Leon Ross, has done a great job. Rose was a well-known agent in the NBA, representing big names such as Paul Anthony. In March 2020, Rose became president of the Knicks, and before the start of the 2020-21 season, he made a fortune-changing signing for Thibodeau as head coach.
Thibodeau was known for his defensive toughness, and he quickly built a great defensive system at the Knicks. Thibodeau was still tough, and the Knicks played tough and disciplined under him. The fighting power increased dramatically, and the Knicks were able to return to the playoffs.
The NBA is a battle for players on the court, doing their best for the championship. But more often than not, the fight takes place behind the scenes, a contest between the various management of the team. Only if the management is smart enough to create a suitable lineup can we turn around and become a winner. Otherwise, even if a group of talented players are piled up, they can only be fish, such as the former Trail Blazers and today's Timberwolves.
