The five pairs that should have parted ways in the offseason: Alphabet and Lillard clearly don't match
In the NBA, although the strong teams in the league still like to form a multi-giant lineup, but since the Lakers won the championship in 20, there are now some teams in the league that have begun to build teams around the dual-core, with a top dual-core and excellent squad thickness can also impact the championship, and the dual-core is also the standard configuration of the championship-winning lineup before the 10s, but not all dual-cores have good chemistry, so let's take a look at the current 5 pairs of combinations that should part ways.
Letter Lillard
In the offseason, the Bucks sent Holiday , Grayson Allen and a number of first-round picks to get Lillard to form a combination of alphabet brother + Lillard, and the outside world was unanimously optimistic about this pair at that time, after all, it is easy for the inside and outside combinations to have chemistry, and this is also the standard for many teams to win the championship before, but this pair is different from other interior and outside combinations, first of all, the letter has no space ability, and he can't block and dismantle the outside bomb to open up space for Lillard.
At the same time, Lillard's offense needs high-quality blocking and dismantling to cover the wall, and the alphabet is more of a fake blocking and then going down to pave the way for his killing, and Lillard can't shoot when he catches the ball, both of them need to have the ball in hand, so they can't have good chemistry, this season Brother Alphabet averaged 30.7 points, 11.5 rebounds and 6.4 assists per game, his statistics were not greatly affected, but Lillard averaged only 24.4 points, 4.4 rebounds and 7.1 assists per game.
LavendeRozan
The pair will most likely part ways in the offseason, because DeRozan's contract expires, he wants a long-term salary cap contract, but the Bulls don't want to give it, and the Bulls want to send LaVine's garbage contract, but the Bulls want to send LaVine away, they need to take the draft pick, the main reason why the two don't match is that they don't have the leadership temperament to lead the team forward, and there is also a problem that the two have a functional conflict.
Both of them are point guards, both focus on scoring, and they can't play the maximum role, in the first season of the two cooperation, DeRozan has the ball, he plays well, and then next season LaVine has the ball, Azan doesn't play well, and the functions overlap. This season, DeRozan is averaging 23.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.1 steals per game, while LaVine is averaging 19.5 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game.
Trae Young Murray
Trae Young and Murray are similar to LaVine DeRozan, the two are also functional conflicts, in order to get Murray, the Hawks have sent several first-round picks, but the first season of the two team's cooperation team only barely made the playoffs, and now the team is only among the play-offs, and surprisingly, after Trae Young was injured, I didn't expect the Hawks to be stronger, and recently won 4 consecutive wins, Murray played very well.
Both are point guards, and Murray can't play without the ball, so he struggled when Trae Young was there, and now Trae Young is not in absolute possession, he even led the team to double kill the Green Army, looking at Murray's play now, I don't know if the Hawks will choose to give up Trae Young in the offseason, Trae Young averaged 26.4 points, 2.7 rebounds, 10.8 assists and 1.4 steals per game this season, while Murray averaged 22.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 1.5 steals per game.
Greenshenjing
After the recent injury of Shen Jing of the Rockets, they won 11 consecutive wins, it is estimated that this is something that many fans did not expect, and even said that their coach Udoka did not expect that at the beginning of last season, he played around Shen Jing and let Shen Jing follow Jokic's style of play, and indeed Shen Jing played a good performance, but the team's record did not improve significantly, in the recent injury of Shen Jing, the team began to play fast around Green, and the team lost 9-0 since Shen Jing was absent.
Green has recently scored more than 26 points in 8 consecutive games, obviously Green is more accustomed to playing fast around him, and with Shen Jing, it is difficult to play his value no matter which side sacrifices, Green averaged 20 points, 5.1 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game this season, while Shen Jing averaged 21.1 points, 9.3 rebounds, 5 assists and 1.2 steals per game, to be honest, I think the Rockets may be able to try to send Shen Jing in the offseason in exchange for an excellent instant force, such as Bridges.
Garland Mitchell
The Cavaliers are ranked third in the East so far this season, and the record alone is indeed great, but friends who often watch Cavaliers games know that with their current lineup, it is impossible for the team to go far in the playoffs, and they play well in the regular season because they rely on Allen's excellent defense and the thickness of their roster, and they will be targeted by opponents in the playoffs.
And Mitchell and Garland are only 1.85 meters, whether it is offensive or defensive, they will become very tired in the playoffs, which also makes the Cavaliers' offense and defense full of holes, last season they were still fourth in the East, and the result was only a first-round tour. Garland is averaging 18.3 points, 2.6 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 1.2 steals per game this season, but he can't play his full strength because of Mitchell's presence, Mitchell is averaging 27.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 1.8 steals per game.
Speaking of which, what do you want to say about these 5 pairs?
