From the perspective of this season, many teams in the NBA are in less than ideal form, but some teams have a chance to break some dusty records, and this season's Kings are very likely to break their record of not making the playoffs in sixteen years with the continuous play of many players on the team, but to achieve this, some viable additions are needed.
Based on this, the US media proposed that the Kings trade Holmes, Mitchell, Alex, Lyles and the 23-year first-round pick for DeRozan.
It has to be said that at this point, the US media pointed out a clear path for the current Kings. This season's Kings have built a very good framework on the lineup, Sabonis Jr. has frequently appeared in the public's eyes this season, with his excellent interior ability and solid footsteps, the Kings' defensive system has been very well improved, but the team's offensive problems are still a big stone that blocks the team's progress.
Fox showed great responsibility at the beginning of the season, but his personal shooting ability had to be greatly reduced under the continuous bags, which is similar to Trae Young, the young Fox obviously lost himself in a shout, and by the time the player himself reacted, his personal three-point shooting percentage was only below the level of 40%, which was a big blow to the entire team.
So at this time, the arrival of DeRozan has become a top priority, as the Bulls and even the league this season's mid-range shooting master, DeRozan has shown strong key ball ability in many games so far this season, in fact, what is more exciting is DeRozan's long-term stability, as the Kardashians say, lasting men deserve to be called kings. DeRozan has had few overturned mistakes in the last fifteen games, and his performance on the court is like a textbook walking.
At the same time, his arrival has also been a very good improvement on the tactical level for the Kings, and another reason for the Kings to be expected this season is that the players in the roster have absolute decisiveness in tactical execution, which for a tactical core like DeRozan, such a lineup will be the best respect for him.
Next, the Bulls also gained a lot in this deal, let's take a look at the current situation of the Bulls, after LaVine expressed his dissatisfaction with DeRozan's personal long-term large number of ball possessions, he was under pressure from management, but then he proved himself with 41 points, but unfortunately the player himself may have retreated at that moment, which caused the current discordant locker room to solidify even more.
Whether it is Holmes or Mitchell this season, the two as an important rotation force of the Kings, they can provide an absolute level of combat power, after LaVine replaced Dero as the team's primary ball holding point, the Bulls need enough strength to help the team build up an offensive threat of sufficient intensity, and the arrival of the four is the best help, in addition, this first-round pick plus a few active players are also the Bulls' more good main force in the upcoming transfer period. The Bulls are expected to complete their comeback in the middle and late stages.
Do you think the Kings can break through the playoffs this season?
