2:29pm, 29 August 2025【Basketball】

On August 29, in the NBA, generally speaking, if the stars are sent away, and players of the same value are not exchanged, the team's record will decline. In the offseason, the Grizzlies traded away Bain and exchanged for Pope. It is probably difficult for the Grizzlies to enter the playoffs next season. They can play a lot of players, but their strength on paper has declined, and the overall strength of the West is getting stronger, but they are weakening, and it is normal that they cannot enter the playoffs.

The Celtics lost Holiday and Porzingis in the offseason, Tatum also suffered major injuries, and the Pacers lost Turner and Halliburton also suffered major injuries. The two teams' records in the new season will inevitably decline. In this case, the Knicks and the Cavaliers chose to retain their core lineups and continue to compete for the championship, because they saw hope of winning the championship, and the Cavaliers were not afraid of high luxury taxes, they just rushed.

But it does not mean that after all teams lose their stars, they will become weaker, and there are also abnormalities in the league. For example, the Bulls achieved a record of 39 wins and 43 losses in the Eastern Conference last year. They realized that it was difficult to succeed around the current three-core core, so they had the idea of ​​breaking up the team. In addition, DeRozan had to have a maximum salary contract, so this also made them firm in their approach. The team sent DeRozan away, and signed first and then exchanged, and got two second round picks.

got these two second round picks at that time. The Bulls planned to trade LaVin. After all, LaVin is a premium contract, but this chip is obviously not allowed to be given away. In this case, the team could only start the new season with LaVin. As a result, Fox did not renew the contract with the Kings, which also gave the Kings the idea of ​​trading Fox, because Fox itself wanted to leave, and the Kings wanted to exchange for the right star because they did not intend to give up the opportunity to chase the playoffs.

So they found the Bulls, Fox and Lavin entered the three-party trading discussion, and the Spurs finally got Fox, the Kings got multiple first-round picks and Lavin, while the Bulls won blue-collar players such as Zach Collins and Jones. After completing the operation of this series of games, the team no longer seems to have the ability to make a record, because they only have Vucevic, but in the end the Bulls still ranked ninth in the Eastern Conference.

Feeling says that there has not changed in two years? But they have lost two stars, how did the Bulls do it? First of all, they traded Caruso in the offseason last year for Josh Gidi. Although he performed poorly in the Thunder, after the Bulls got absolute ball rights, he showed his ability to support an offensive system by himself. Although Gidi was not good at defense, his scoring ability and organization were still good.

Especially after LaVine left the team, he got absolute ball rights and played a quasi-triple double-double average of 20+10+9. In this way, the Bulls did not plan to renew the contract of 150 million, but just wanted to give a contract with an average salary of about 20 million. It was probably ruined by LaVine's garbage contract. In addition to Giddy, they also have an excellent player, and he is White. Because of LaVine, White did not get much chance, so he just signed a three-year contract of 36 million

Don't White got more ball rights until LaVine was injured and missed last season, and he also played at the star level. Last season, White averaged 20+3+4 data per game, so with Vucevic, they are still the Big Three. Although the real level of these three giants is not very good, it is not bad at all compared to the three giants Laven + DeRozan + Vucevic. In addition, the situation in the east is also the key to their success.

Everyone knows about these teams in the East. Many teams will choose to rebuild because they are small markets and do not have suitable puzzles. They have established reconstruction before the regular season. Now, look at the Wizards, Nets and Hornets next season will likely rebuild. As long as a team is not deliberately bad, their worst record in the East is the 12th position in the East, and there are more teams in the East last season.

Nets, Hornets, Raptors, Wizards, and 76ers with core injuries, as long as a team wants to pursue record last season, they are the worst in the East. This is why the Heat finally made it to the playoffs when they suffered 10 consecutive losses in the regular season. If it is put in the West, if you dare to lose 10 consecutive losses, let alone the playoffs, it is a wise choice to play badly in advance to chase the No. 1 pick.

The Bulls now probably figured it out. They can't attract big names and win the Eastern Conference. In this case, it's better to spend less money and strive to make the playoffs, so that they can earn a lot of income. The team has the highest annual salary next season, Vucevic, who is only 21.48 million, and the Bulls are planning to trade him! Having said that, what do you want to say about the current bulls? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
