NBA 5 years 9 stars asked to be traded under the wave fear of leaving the list Lillard and other 3 stars were named
In just 5 years, 9 stars in the NBA shouted "trade me", and 3-time scoring champion James Harden (James Harden) changed teams for 2 consecutive years, emphasizing that players have the right to choose who to be teammates, setting off a wave of player empowerment. Sport Illustrated named The Pelicans Zion Williamson, Trail Blazers top brace Damian Lillard and Jazz brother Donovan Mitchell as the next wave of stars who could "run away."
Every move of the star is related to the future of the league and the team, and this season alone, there are 3 strong teams that have made the championship battle full of variables due to the change of stars. Ben Simmons finally left the 76ers after 54 games and headed to the Nets to form the new Big Three. Philadelphia sent Simmons in exchange for Harden, hoping he would work well with Joel Embiid. The Lakers, who came to Russell Westbrook at the request of LeBron James this season, are now no. 9 in the West.
It is not a new thing for stars to stay unhappy in the original owner's home and run away, but now there is a trend of more and more frequent and early job hopping. When Kyrie Irving asked to "trade me," he had two more years to go to contract with the Cavaliers, harden and Westbrook to leave the Rockets, and George to leave the Thunder. But no one compares to Simmons, who refused to play this season and left Philadelphia with a four-year top salary contract.
Teams with superstars hold them in their hands as treasures, and teams without stars are "rubbing their fists", and Sports Illustrated lists them, including Pelicans "Monster Champion" Williams, Trail Blazers head player Lillard and Jazz brother Mitchell, who may be the next wave of stars who will leave.
The recent wave of hugging has made stars more influential, resilient and autonomous, and while the league has always been a champion of player empowerment, this trend can destabilize the entire system. League chairman Adam Silver said at the Star Game weekend press conference that he was very unhappy that players frequently shouted "trade me" and that the league should solve this problem, but there is no way to deal with it.
