If the most surprising players and players this season were the Grizzlies and Morant, then the most surprising and unexpected players and teams last season were the Hawks and Trae Young. This season, under Morant's leadership, the Grizzlies have come to second place in the West, which has not been seen in many years, because of Morant's performance and the re-establishment of the Grizzlies system, so that a player who could not make the playoffs last season has become the second team in the West this season.
Last season, the Hawks reached the Eastern Conference Finals, but unfortunately they lost to the more experienced Bucks. But it's also the Hawks' best result in years, and Trae Young, Curry's successor, made a name for himself last season, and he is a new generation of superstars who can be compared to Doncic. In doncic's deal with Trae Young, most people felt the Hawks were the one to lose. In fact, it now seems that the deal between the Hawks and the Lone Rangers is a win-win situation. But if you really want to talk about winning or losing, I think the Lone Ranger is more dominant, because the record of the Lone Ranger is better than the Eagle. Doncic is also the first player in their term to receive a full salary. And Trae Young also needs to achieve a certain amount of achievement to guarantee the full maximum salary.
This season the Lone Ranger, led by Doncic, once again made the playoffs without suspense. The Hawks struggled to make it to the playoffs, but it may be really hard to reach last season's results. The Lone Rangers this season would have definitely made a difference in the playoffs this season if it weren't for Doncic's last-minute calf strain, and facing the Jazz in the first round, the Lone Rangers had the strength to end the series in six games. The Lone Ranger has a natural advantage this season when it comes to teams with big players. Doncic is basically in a state of misplaced singles when facing a center player like Gobert. Therefore, Doncic is the only advantage that the Lone Ranger can rely on, but unfortunately, now injured, the comeback time is still uncertain, which casts a shadow over the Lone Ranger's originally good season, everyone knows that without Doncic, the Lone Ranger will not have the current results, and the playoffs will not have any advantage.
Many people are still very optimistic about this season's loner, that is, they are optimistic about Doncic, if they trade Porzingis early, maybe Doncic's personal data will look better, even if he is elected as the MVP of this season's regular season. Trae Young has the potential to become a superstar, but he is more like a big general who can stand up and score when the team is in difficulty, so that the team has more possibilities. Doncic is more like a man who strategizes to win a thousand miles, he has no talent, nor does he have the physical qualities that are visible to the naked eye, but he can always use various means to help the team and let the team win. So, between Doncic and Trae Young, Doncic is still the more competitive one.
