The Suns, as a Big Three team, were swept by the Timberwolves in the first round of the playoffs alone, even if Edwards was on Jordan and Kobe Bryant's performance was amazing, and the overall strength of the Timberwolves should not be underestimated, but being swept by the team still made the Big Three Suns extremely embarrassed, and also made this giant team once the most disappointing team this season. It also puts Vogel's position in jeopardy, after all, the team's poor record and the head coach being cut has become an open secret in the league.
Recently, the Suns officially announced the elimination of head coach Vogel. According to Vogel, who has only coached the Suns for one season, with a five-year, $31.2 million contract, the Suns have a 49-33 regular season record this season, ranking sixth in the West. In this season's playoffs, the Suns were swept 0-4 by the Timberwolves in the first round.
Suns General Manager James Jones issued a statement: "After much deliberation over the season, we have come to the conclusion that our team needs a new head coach, and we thank Vogel for his hard work and commitment. ”
Obviously, the previous Suns owner's recognition of Vogel and his desire to stay in the team is just a perfunctory, such a thing is also commonplace in the business league, after all, in the team's poor record, and the conflict between Vogel and the core leader Durant, it has become an inevitable fact to send him away, in this situation, Vogel has once again become the culprit of the team's loss, looking at the whole season, Vogel's coaching ability, It is indeed unflattering that Vogel is still testing the lineup in the second half of the season, and even in the contest with Finch, Vogel completely fell behind, and such a performance really cannot bring better tactical arrangements and the possibility of winning to the Big Three.
Vogel's departure is also very likely to indicate the fact that the Suns will continue to win the championship with the Big Three as the core, after all, in the case that Beal cannot be traded, the Suns' lineup does not have much adjustability, and the Big Three are only combined for one season, so once there is chemistry, it is still expected that the Suns will have the strength to compete for the championship, so that the Big Three team is expected to continue to be a real championship team.
For the team, this summer can still improve the depth of the lineup, get 1 or 2 bench bandits with a tough style of play, for the Suns, if they can get tough guys like Hart and DiVincenzo, it will bring great competitiveness to the team to win the championship, after all, the two Villanova stars did play an extremely bloodthirsty performance, and their efforts have also become an important factor for the Knicks to be able to play the sense of sight of the grassroots army, so for the Suns, send away Gordon, O'Neal and other bench bandits, After all, in addition to the Big Three, the Suns still need more people to step up and help the team get out of the slump, and the role players will also be extremely important and far-reaching for the team.
For the Suns, they still haven't given up the belief in winning the championship, after all, their lineup can still last for 2-3 seasons, and Durant is also expected to renew Durant's contract in advance after Vogel was cut by the team, so that the team can continue to impact the championship with the current lineup, so that the team is expected to realize its talent as soon as possible and become a real champion team.
After the Suns cut the head coach and started a new journey, for the Clippers, their failure is not the head coach's problem, Leonard has been suspended indefinitely due to injury on the playoff stage one after another, which will be an important factor in the Clippers' inability to cash in on talent, for several seasons in a row, Leonard refused to play due to injury at critical moments, such a glass man's attributes, making Leonard an unbearable pseudo-star, and also making Leonard undoubtedly an important factor in the team's loss, and also making this superstar, after joining the team, I haven't played the expected performance and presentation.
But after the season, Ballmer does not seem to have lost faith in the superstar and has no intention of sending him away, which also makes other stars see no hope, and even extremely disappointed in Ballmer's attitude towards Leonard, previously, Leonard publicly confessed, and let Ballmer regain confidence in the star, however, Harden and George do not seem to believe Leonard's words, after all, as an old teammate, George has been disappointed in Leonard, and has been on the playoff stage for several years, The nonsensical outbreak of injuries has made the team almost uncompetitive, and it has also prevented the team from playing the expected performance, and it has also made Leonard an important factor in the team's continuous fall on the playoff stage and even unable to win the championship trophy.
However, Ballmer's attitude has made other players lose faith in the team, after all, once Ballmer is unwilling to send Leonard away and continue to believe in the superstar, this will be a great blow to other players, Leonard has two championship trophies in hand, naturally not in a hurry, and Harden, George, Wei Shao and other stars are still empty-handed, and the desire for the championship has reached the point of exhaustion, in this case, Ballmer's trust in Leonard, It is very likely to be the key to the dissatisfaction of other stars with the team, and it is also very likely that this superstar will become an explosion and real reason for the dissatisfaction of other players with the management.
As the situation heats up, several core stars have also expressed their dissatisfaction with the team, and they have successively broken out the signal of leaving the team, first of all, George is very likely to give up the player option for next season, which also makes it possible for the superstar to take the initiative to test the free market, so that the superstar may leave this giant team, and the continuous failures seem to make George extremely dissatisfied with the team, especially in the middle of the season, the team took the lead in signing Leonard, but refused to renew George's contract in advance, which also made the All-Star player extremely dissatisfied. Ballmer's completely different attitudes towards Leonard and George have also become an important factor in George's growing dissatisfaction with the team, and may even make the superstar leave the team.
George's dissatisfaction is continuing to escalate, Wei Shao also refused a 2-year 15 million contract, for this star who is not bad for money, he took the initiative to reduce his salary to stay in the team last season, expressing Wei Shao's friendship for the Clippers, but after joining the Clippers, due to the arrival of Harden, Wei Shao gave up the starting position again, and after being reduced to a substitute, Wei Shao's playing time was constantly reduced, and even became a dispensable existenceOn the contrary, during the playoffs, the team's state and performance of losing and retreating made Wei Shao extremely dissatisfied, and even broke out of dissatisfaction one after another.
The refusal to renew the team's contract also expresses Wei Shao's despair for his old club, although this contract is completely higher than last season's contract, but this stunned young man wants to play happily and freely, obviously in the Clippers Wei Shao did not play the expected performance, and the team's continuous outbreak of infighting, but also made Wei Shao completely lose self-confidence and competitiveness, in this situation, Wei Shao will also be expected to leave this team, continue to seek his dream.
Wei Shao and George successively expressed their dissatisfaction with the team, and even the intention of possibly leaving the team, which also made Ballmer likely to catch fire in the backyard, not only that, once the two giants leave the team, Harden will inevitably choose to leave the team, after all, after losing competitiveness, Harden can't see the hope of winning the championship, and it will be meaningless to stay. It also made this giant team start a moment of decline, and also made Leonard an important factor in the team's collapse and even disintegration.
To sum up, for Ballmer's confidence in Leonard's fans, it is very likely to cause the aggravation of George's and Westbrook's dissatisfaction, and even make the two superstars likely to express their dissatisfaction and even leave the team, once the two superstars leave the team, it will bring an immeasurable blow to the future of the Clippers, and it will also make Harden choose to run fiercely, and the team will also fall from the Big Four to Leonard's single-core team, and the Clippers will also be completely reduced to a vulnerable team, so that it will experience a dark road of despair.
Therefore, Ballmer's mistaken attitude will become the fact that the Clippers are destined to lose competitiveness from Leonard, and also make this superstar completely the culprit of destroying the team, and Ballmer will also pay a painful price for his trust and confusion, so that the team will be completely ruined in the hands of this superstar.
And once several giants test the free market, it will inevitably cause turbulence, and even the Clippers will lose their competitiveness, so for the Clippers, maybe leaving Los Angeles, they will face the fact that they are torn apart, and it will also make this super team that has been high and low for several years and cannot survive the playoff stage, and will also be completely reduced to a fish belly team that can be slaughtered, and the three giants will also become victims of Ballmer's obsession, and the departure of the three will also make the Clippers completely lose the strength to compete for the championship. Let them pay the price for Leonard's recognition, and the Clippers will completely disappear from the West, so that this once giant team will completely dissipate on the stage of the West, and become a down-and-out team that cannot continue to compete for the championship in the short term and will even face a slump and embarrassment.
