In the first round of the NBA play-offs, the Golden State Warriors lost to the Kings and were eliminated! There are many rumors about the Warriors, and there are even rumors that Curry is leaving, joining the San Antonio Spurs, and forming the strongest front and back court with Wembanyama. Of course, this is a joke, so let's just have fun.
Regarding the question of Clay's stay and stay, first of all, Cole made it clear that he hoped to stay. In addition, Curry and Green also said that they hope that the third brother can retire together. But the contract extension will have to be negotiated slowly, and given the sluggish form of Klay this season, it will not be higher than Green.
In the East, the Hawks lost to the Bulls 116-131 in the first round, ending the season. In fact, the Hawks have ended this play-off game since the first quarter. The Bulls scored 40 points in the first quarter and led the Hawks by 18 points. Trae Young was quite outrageous, conceding all the balls in the field on the premise of playing the full 12 minutes, and only scored one point from the free throw.
In the whole game, Trae Young played 43 minutes, and the athletic battle was 4-of-12, and the free throw referee did not give less, 11-of-13, and cut 20 points, 2 rebounds and 10 assists. In this game, Trae Young's style of play was quite ugly, and many balls were not scored but fouled. No wonder you are the pre-All-Star assist king, but you can't get into the All-Star bench, everyone who looks at it shakes their heads.
Trae Young's plus/minus on the field was very low, reaching -27 and the team's bottom. Honestly, if Trae Young doesn't play, the Hawks might still be able to win. After all, when Murray led the team alone, he also reversed the Celtics, and it was twice. Trae Young was in the playoffs, and he really dug a big hole for his teammates.
As another Murray of one of the twin stars, he played 46 minutes in this game, shooting 11-of-21 from the field, including 3-of-6 from three-point range, and scored 30 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals, with a plus/minus of -6. You know, the Hawks lost by 15 points in the end, which means that in the 2 minutes that Murray was absent, the Hawks lost by as many as 9 points. In Trae Young's absence, the Hawks won by 12 points.
In this comparison, the eagles should know who the twin stars are going to keep.
Of course, judging a player by the level of a play-off game is not good. Seasonally, Trae Young averaged 25.7 points and 10.8 assists per game this season, shooting 43% from the field, 37.3% from three-point range, and 85.5% from the free-throw line. Although it is not as good as a super first-class player, it is also an all-star level.
However, Trae Young's criticism lies in his poor defense. Even if he can put up good stats, it's on the premise of poor defense. Anti-blowing Yang is a very simple point, squeeze out the block, and don't give him room to shoot. Just like the previous targeting of Curry, Trae Young is a little simpler. However, Trae Young is more careful and will make fouls.
Now the two roads in front of the eagles, keep the status quo. With the twin stars as the core, integrate the high-quality assets in the team, and replace an all-star to try to impact the championship. The Timberwolves are like this, after bringing Gobert over, Huazi + Towns can also let go, and they finished third in the West this year.
Second, trade one of the twin stars for quality players and draft picks for the next phase of rebuilding.
Judging from the ability to lead the team, Trae Young is leaving. Trae Young himself is not clear about what the future is. He wants to win, he wants to win a championship, but he knows it's hard for the Eagles to make it happen.
At present, the Lakers are leading Trae Young, and if Pelinka works harder, maybe he will be able to do it this summer!
