4 points + 8 points + 4 points, work hard for a season, the super dark horse falls before dawn! It s time for you to rebuild

The NBA is coming to an end this season, and all kinds of rumors are flying in the trading market, especially Durant. Since Antetokounmpo expressed his hope to stay in the Bucks, Durant has become the most eye-catching big fish, but in addition to the Raptors and the Timberwolves, other teams participating in the negotiations, including the Spurs, Rockets, Heat, Clippers, etc., are unwilling to give out chips that satisfy the Suns. The worst result is that Durant continues to stay in the Sun. The Sun and other teams will be defeated and would rather rot in their hands than give it out. But the Sun and Durant team have broken up, and the Sun has been forced to Liangshan, and it is difficult to stop the flood. For a team that is rising like the Rockets, let alone Shin Kyung or Ethan, in the words of the team reporter, even Jaylen Green and Shepard, the Rockets don't want to give the Suns.

, and not to mention the three first round picks that the Suns dream of. It can be seen that in the past two seasons, young teams such as the Thunder, Rockets, Pacers, and Timberwolves have risen rapidly. The Thunder have gradually become the league overlord. The Timberwolves have also entered the Western Conference Finals for two consecutive years under the leadership of Edwards; the upper limit will be very high for teams with absolute core. If there is no core, it will become more embarrassing. The Rockets are a typical example. Jaylen Green has been training for four years and is still standing still. Shin Kyung is not lukewarm. He has played with the title of Jokic for several years, which is much softer than Jokic. The Pacers who reached the finals this season have a similar situation. Their better position than the Rockets is that they have an absolute boss, but this boss cannot support the right to ball. The Pacers have always been an easy-to-be overlooked team. They reached the Eastern Conference Final last season but were swept out 4-0 by the Celtics. The Pacers didn't play well in the first half of this season, but after 25 years, they are in the top three in the league in winning percentage, the same level as the Thunder. In the playoffs, the Bucks led by Antetokounmpo 4-1 in the first round, Halliburton made a layup in the last game; in the second round, facing the Cavaliers, the first in the Eastern Conference in the regular season, Halliburton took a three-pointer and finally led the team to advance to the Eastern Conference 4-1. Including the Knicks 4-2 in the Eastern Conference Finals, Halliburton scored a buzzer-beating tie again; and in the finals, Halliburton scored a jump shot and defeated the Thunder. Halliburton is the first in NBA history to achieve four wins or draws in the four rounds series, which is amazing.

But as the boss of the team, he scored too few points! He averaged 17.2 points, 5.5 rebounds and 8.9 assists per game in the playoffs, scored 4 points against the Cavaliers G3, 8 points against the Knicks G3, and 4 points against the Thunder G5. It is not scary to score low in the playoffs, but what is scary is the norm. To make a simple comparison, Alexander played 21 games this year, with only 3 games below 20 points and scored more than 30+ in 15 games! First of all, Halliburton is definitely indispensable. Take the finals as an example. His On-Off value is +12.1, the highest in the team, but G5 suffered ankle and calf injuries, and 0 of the game was scored by only 4 points by free throws. Halliburton cannot do it. He must take on the job of organizing the ball when he comes on the court, but he cannot withstand the offensive ball rights.

In addition to taking three-pointers, he lacks too many effective offensive methods and has no ability to create lethality (7 free throws in the first five games of the finals), does not have a breakthrough attack after pick-and-roll, and the middle distance is not stable enough. The most important thing is that Halliburton has poor defense. Just to give an example, Alexander played against Halliburton in 16 rounds in the finals, made 5 of 6 shots, and helped his teammates score 5 of them. The Pacers averaged 6 players in double digits per game in the playoffs, with the seventh man averaging 9.6 points per game, and the eighth man McConnell averaged 9.2 points per game, with very average scoring points. But at the critical moment, the ball belonged to Halliburton, and even Sika could only run back and forth. The Pacers' upper limit was invisibly limited, but Halliburton lacked offensive means, could it be improved?

Pacers trailed the Thunder 2-3 in the first five games, and Halliburton was injured, basically locked in the season runner-up. As the runner-up of the season in the past few years, the Suns then broke up the team in 21 years and found helper Durant for Booker; the Celtics in 22 years also sent away Smart, Rowe, Gway and others, in exchange for Holiday and Possus to succeed in 24 years; the Heat in 23 years was Butler's credit, but the lineup framework could not be maintained, and Martin, Vincent, and Struce left one after another; including the Mavericks last season, even the team's boss Doncic was sent away. In contrast, the Pacers are in the worst situation, because the team boss lacks scoring ability, so they need the No. 2 and 3 stable scoring points. Sika has it, where is the third person?

For the Pacers, this season's championship has become a luxury. They fell before dawn, and it seemed that they were only a little bit away from the championship, but that was a huge gap in the core ceiling. The best way to the offseason is to exchange for zero. Except for Nesmith and Turner (the defensive axis of the inside and outside), everyone can package the transaction. This is also a high-level cash out, in exchange for a player who is a stable average of 20-25 points per game. In essence, everything is caused by Halliburton's lack of final attributes. You can't trade Halliburton directly! Only by rebuilding the team framework can the Pacers' future ceiling be increased.
