The US media posted a comparison of James and Durant's data so far this season. Among them, James averaged 29.7 points, 8.4 rebounds and 7 assists in ten games, shooting 51/30/75% from the field. Durant averaged 29.7 points, 6.7 rebounds and 5.3 assists on 3-of-three shooting percentages: 55/37/93%.
These two players are the face figures of the NBA, one wins in efficiency, and the other wins in more versatility. A 38-year-old, a 34-year-old plus two major injuries, to be able to play such statistics is enough to prove that they are still at their peak. But the attitude of teammates towards these two is very different.
James has absolute say in the Lakers, regardless of the Lakers' record, teammates are always praise when they mention James, but Durant has been questioned by teammates.
Earlier today, the Nets' Curry was interviewed about his dissatisfaction with the team, Curry said: The team's way of playing throughout the year is to rely on Durant and Irving to create space, so that the original one-on-one offense becomes a difficult score against two or three defenders. Once Durant's lack is lacking, players are suddenly overwhelmed and become unable to play, which is the result of tactical inertia.
Curry's remarks seem to be dissatisfied with the coach's tactics, but in fact he is accusing some players and coaches, including Durant, and head coach Vaughn is the first to bear the brunt, and he will only use the star Durant like Nash. Simmons will also reflect when he hears this, as the third big man of the team, he has not been able to help the team better.
Curry is a very capable star, but Durant's presence makes him have no tactical position at all, his three-point accuracy is very accurate, and he has also played 30+ performances, he is eager to be valued by the team like his brother Curry, he can also use the block to shoot quickly, and he also has the ability to decide the game.
The Nets have a Big Three, it is impossible to give him too much tactical position, he can only go to a weak team, re-prove himself, then can only ask the Nets to trade him.
According to NBA reporter Zackley, the Nets are ready to trade Curry, and it is reported that they have sent a 3-for-1 trade offer to the Pistons, and the Pistons are likely to agree, and the specific trade plan is:
Nets sending: Curry, Joe Harris and 1 first-round pick;
Bojan Bogdanovich from the Pistons.
Through this deal, the Nets can meet Curry's needs while also improving the team's combat effectiveness again. Bojan has the ability to help the team better.
Bojan is an outside sharpshooter who averaged 21.2 points per game this season, having shot more than 40 percent from three-point range for three consecutive seasons. This season, the three-point shooting rate is as high as 41.5%, and he can hit 2.4 three-pointers per game, which is already a quasi-All-Star level player. What is rare is that he can not only shoot three-pointers, but also the speed and flexibility of a guard, able to make breakthroughs on his own to create shooting space.
The Nets get him, can form a Big 4 combination with Durant, Irving, Simmons, his outside ability, can better help the team open up space, reduce the defensive pressure faced by other players, especially Durant, with the presence of Bojan, the opponent does not dare to unscrupulously wrap him, more conducive to his play, then the team will have a great advantage in the playoffs, and the probability of winning a championship will also increase.
For the Pistons, they've decided to rebuild, and they're not averse to a Bojan trade that won't just get a first-round pick, but also two marksmen. Curry and Joe Harris have strong shooting ability, and have the ability to better assist rookies such as Cunningham and Ivey, and Curry will also have the opportunity to re-prove himself. Overall, the Pistons would be hard to turn down with the deal.
