The sun has set, the lake has dried up, and Golden State has long said good night. When the Lakers lost 1-4 to the Nuggets and were killed by Murray twice in the series, it would undoubtedly be a fatal blow to James. During the series, James's performance was impeccable, and even after the team was out, the official praised James's fighting spirit, and the celebrities and the media were also rarely one-sided, giving extremely pertinent expressions and praises to James, and even thinking that James stood and left, thus expressing respect for James, as well as recognition and awe of the extreme performance of this series.
But after the team lost, James seems to be extremely dissatisfied with the current situation of the Lakers, as a superstar who pioneered the huddle for warmth, James has drifted in three teams in his career, every time the team loses competitiveness, James will choose to leave the team and start a new journey, after winning the championship, the Lakers' record is not good, the team's overall performance is also precarious, and after several seasons of struggle, James has already been disheartened, this time Davis played a superstar style, still so that the team can not break through to the first round, which has challenged James's bottom line, so, after the season, James's words revealed the intention and fact of leaving the team。
Recently, Davis was interviewed on the topic of James' possible departure, and Davis bluntly said that he would try to keep James during the Paris Olympics for the U.S. men's basketball team. This passage also directly indicates the fact that James left, but Davis's helpless words almost confirmed James's determined attitude, after all, as a 39-year-old veteran, James almost confirmed the fact that he left after losing, James bluntly said that he would play another 2-3 seasons, which shows that James will still fight for the championship, but the Lakers obviously do not have such ability, staying in this city, the value and one by one for James will not be reflected and realized in any way.
Therefore, after playing superstar again, James will continue to take away talent, for Los Angeles, there is hardly too much suspense, although the Lakers still offer it a large short-term contract, but James is not bad for money, James in the twilight of his career, still hopes to touch the fifth championship trophy of his career, so that his historical status will be improved again, and even expected to surpass Jordan and become the real first person in the league, in this context, even if the Lakers give everything they have, unable to compete for the championship, they still can't keep James, and let this superstar continue to start another journey to continue to fight and fight for the next championship trophy。
In such a situation, James's departure has almost become a fact, after all, the team's current squad depth, as well as the team's deterrence of the championship, can not impress James, such a team that cannot compete for the championship is obviously unable to meet James's ambitions, especially in the two giants have played a superstar style, the team still can't win the series, so that James has almost lost confidence and patience for the team, Davis's helplessness is almost confirmed James can not be convinced, and it is possible to choose to take away the talent, which will become an irreversible fact.
After the Suns were swept by the Timberwolves, the team started the offseason early. Bill's sluggish performance in the whole series once became the culprit of the team's loss, but as one of the Big Three, although Beal's performance can be called a disaster, because Beal has the league's only trade veto, so that the superstar is not easy to be traded by the team, once Beal rejects the team's trade plan, he will have the right to terminate the transaction and continue, so, for the Suns, Beal can't let the team do what they want, even if the state is not good, but the team wants to send it away directly, it still needs Beal's consent, which also makes it extremely difficult to reach an agreement on Beal's trade plan。
In this case, for the Suns, Beal is likely not to be the first player to be traded in the offseason, due to Durant's dissatisfaction with Vogel, so that after the end of the season, he still does not give up, before the end of the season, Durant is even more blunt that Vogel is the leader of the team, it seems to be the intention of throwing the pot, but in fact, he is extremely dissatisfied with Vogel's tactics that once arranged him to stand in the bottom corner, so for Durant, compared to Beal, Vogel is the culprit of the team, this superstar, will also dump all the grievances that the team has been swept on Vogel, in other words, if the team does not cut Vogel, Durant took the initiative to apply for a trade, which is very likely to become an irreversible fact.
After all, after the season, Durant will become a restricted free agent, once he chooses to reject the player option, Durant is very likely to test the free market, once the team can't cut Vogel, Durant is likely to leave the team, which will be the result that the Suns can't take advantage of, after all, the whole season, as well as Durant's remarks, have expressed dissatisfaction with Vogel, this defensive giant, in successive battles with other head coaches, did not play the deterrent of a meritorious head coach, not outstanding enough, and relatively slow tactical arrangement, all made Vogel a key factor in the team's loss, and also made the coach not the Big Three team, playing the culprit of the expected performance.
After all, as a ball addict, Durant still hopes to become the core competitiveness of the team, but Vogel has successively let Durant stand in the bottom corner, opening up space for Booker and Beal.
Durant is obviously more dissatisfied and angry with the head coach, which can also be found in Durant's recent rhetoric, so for the Suns, once Vogel is left, the team will welcome Durant's departure, and in such a choice, Vogel will inevitably be cut by the team.
This head coach will also become the first person to leave the team after the team loses, the season ends early, and the team leaves, although Vogel is not famous, but Vogel's lack of excellent coaching ability has indeed become an important factor in the team's first round of tours, and the season has not studied a stable lineup so far.
It also makes Vogel indeed a head coach who is not worthy of the name, unable to turn decay into a magical performance, so that he is expected to be the first person to leave the team after the Suns lose, pay a heavy price for the team's loss, and make sacrifices.
After the Pelicans were swept by the Thunder, the young team fell on the stage of the first round of the playoffs for several consecutive years, and in the case of young teams such as the Timberwolves and the Thunder, which have gradually risen and are even expected to compete for the championship, the Pelicans are still tepid and unable to get out of the curse of the first round of the playoffs.
Although the Pelicans are the team of the three stars, but at critical moments, Zion's successive injuries once became an important factor in the team's poor record, in addition, Ingram after returning from injury, the overall performance was not good enough, the star who was once known as Durant Jr., after many seasons, did not fully realize the talent, despite the good competitiveness, but the continuous outbreak of objective factors and the ability to play tough games unstable have made Ingram unable to become an important factor for the team to win the game at critical moments, and it has also become an important factor for the Pelicans to break through the first round of the playoffs after breaking into the playoffs one after another。
It is reported that the Pelicans lost to the Thunder 89-97 at home and were eliminated by a score of 0-4. Pelicans star Ingram spoke to reporters after the game.
Speaking about the contract extension talks with the team, Ingram said: "I love the city of New Orleans. This is where I first made the All-Star selection. But the future is never predictable, and I'm thinking about what's best for me and my family. Pelican fans have been very kind to me, and I still have an unfinished business here. ”
It's clear that Ingram's remarks are still hoping to win a big contract. As a young star, Ingram's performance is remarkable, but there is still a huge gap between him and the superstar. Although Ingram once carried the team during Zion's injury, as a young man, Ingram did not have the explosive physical talent of Zion, and his inconsistent performance in key moments also made him a star who was difficult to pay the maximum salary.
Zion missed the playoffs one after another, and the continuous injuries have made the Pelicans disheartened, in this case, it is difficult for the Pelicans to offer Ingram a desperate super contract, even if Ingram publicly shows favor to his old club, but if he does not agree to take a salary cut to stay with the team, this critical moment, still unable to carry the team's young star, it is still difficult to win a big contract from the team, and it will also make Ingram pay a painful price for his not good enough performance, making him a star with fatal flaws.
Consecutive losses, so that the Pelicans are naturally dissatisfied with the double star, after the Zion contract is almost lost, it is difficult for Ingram to win the next super contract, in this context, this young star who was once abandoned by the Lakers, it is still difficult to win the favor of the Pelicans, even if there is a good competitiveness, but the weakness of the ability to play tough battles, so that Ingram is still flawed, therefore, the Pelicans will not be ruined for it, they will naturally not offer a maximum salary contract for a star who cannot lead the team to go further on the playoff stage, and Ingram is still unable to win real respect after staring at Durant's stand-in debut, let him become a flawed and short-listed star, and even fail to win a super contract because of this, and become a star who has been criticized and questioned.
