The embarrassing Suns, suffering from an astronomical luxury tax, overdrew the team's future for the next few years, but not only did they not exchange for the hope of winning the championship, but they were also beaten by the Timberwolves in the playoffs. In the regular season, the Suns' 3-0 Timberwolves gave everyone the illusion, and even now it feels like the Timberwolves are deliberately picking the Suns as their opponents in the first round. In the case of falling behind 0-3, everyone didn't want to be swept, so Booker and Durant both broke out, scoring 82 points together, but still lost the game, which shows that the strength of the lineup is indeed too much inferior to the opponent. Now, the Suns may be the only team to be swept in the first round. The Suns were swept 0-4, triggering a 4-chain reaction: Beal is expected to trade away, and the huddle is completely outdated?
Vogel is definitely going to be out of class, and Charania reports that the Suns' Big Three have lost faith in Vogel, and even they had a conflict as early as the regular season against the Clippers with a 4-35 score in the first quarter. In fact, throughout the regular season, the Suns did not find a reasonable way to win, with 3 giants who can score 30 points per game, but the offense is mediocre, and Vogel's best defensive system is completely gone, so to speak, it can be said that it is not good offensively or defensively. Coupled with the unfavorable division and wasting a year on the Suns, Vogel can't keep it, and the Suns have to hire a more suitable head coach.
When Bill was down 0-3, he said that he had never been swept in his entire career, and it would be crazy if it was 0-4, and now that it has really come true, you can imagine how broken Bill's heart will be. He has the veto power of the trade, so it will be difficult for the Suns to send him away, which is very passive. But things are different now, and if Beal himself is unhappy with the team, he may ask for a trade. Because Beal's big contract has arrived, he can get so much money no matter where he is, but he also wants to win a championship, and there is no hope of staying with the Suns. Several strong teams have overturned this year, such as the 76ers, Lakers, Bucks, Heat, etc., and they are all likely to become Beal's next home.
Edwards is really going to be a superstar, even the face of NBA homegrown players, and in this series, he has fully shown his talent and talent, as well as the aura of a superstar. When Booker exploded and scored 49 points, Edwards could also respond with 40 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists, and he was already so outstanding at the age of 23. Many people say that he looks like Jordan, maybe not as strong as Jordan in the same period, but there is no doubt that the future is bright.
In the past few years, the Nets Big Three have lost, the Lakers Big Three have collapsed, and now the Suns Big Three have also been swept, plus the Bucks Big Three in the East have no play, it can be said that the era of the NBA has completely passed. Look at the current several strong teams in the West, such as the Nuggets, Timberwolves, Thunder, and Mavericks, all adhering to the principle of cultivating their own core and slowly building a lineup. Perhaps, the process of building a team is long, requiring 1 or even 2 rebuilding cycles, but once the rebuilding is completed, it can remain competitive for many years, and there will be no great salary pressure because of the bonus contract. In addition, the players have grown up together, the relationship is deeper, and they will not fall apart because of a little setback, and they are real brother basketball.
