Break the championship and get out 2-4! After only one year of persistence, it’s time to rebuild the NBA giants

Behind the NBA this season, various transactions and reinforcement work have been significantly earlier than in the past few years. For example, the Magic took out 4 first rounds + Pope + Anthony + 1 first round to exchange Bain, Durant also joined the Rockets as he wished. After the Mavericks won the No. 1 pick Flag, the strength of the paper lineup will rise sharply next season. They also plan to continue to strengthen the point guard role before Irving returns. The championship Thunder this season is still in the blood-sucking Clippers, winning the future potential center Sauber at the 15th pick in the first round. This is still the chips that the Clippers exchanged for 9 for 1. Over the years, the Clippers have helped the Thunder fully build a dynasty team. From Alexander to Jewish, including the Heat's Jaime, the Clippers have indeed suffered a big loss.

As the champion of last season, the Celtics also sent Holiday and Possey away early. In addition, according to the reporters of the team, the team does not intend to continue to leave the young Anthony Smith, hoping to continue trading to make room to retain the two meritorious veterans, Connett and Horford. The Celtics' defeat this season is ultimately related to their walking on one leg. While obsessed with three-point shooting, Holiday declined, Boston was plagued by injuries, and was eliminated by the Knicks 2-4 in the Eastern Conference semifinals, becoming the last straw that broke them. The Knicks, who entered the Eastern Conference Finals, were even worse! After being eliminated by the Pacers 4-2, coach Thibodeau was dismissed, but what is even more unexpected is that this lineup will be rebuilt after only one year of persistence.

starts with a few messages. First of all, since Thibodeau was dismissed, the Knicks focused on poaching, contacting Mavericks coach Kidd, but was rejected, contacting Rockets Uduka was rejected, and the Rockets immediately renewed their contract with Uduka; contacting Timberwolves coach Finch, according to US media, the Timberwolves hung up the phone directly; and once contacted Hawks coach Snyder and Bulls coach Donovan, but without exception, they were all turned away! Forced to helplessness, the Knicks began to look for unemployed coaches, such as former Grizzlies coach Jenkins, and Brown, who has not coached in the NBA for a long time. The coach's problem will not be solved for a day, and the team will not even have a general direction in the future, but there are still two problems. What will Towns in the future? Bridges and Miro are going to be sent away too!

After team reporter Isola confirmed that the Knicks have found a home for Bridges and Mitchell Robinson. The reason for trading Bridges is very simple, because Bridges's contract last year for $24.9 million next season, it is logical that he is eligible to complete the four-year, 156 million maximum salary renewal in advance, but the Knicks can't afford it! Just one year ago, in order to get Bridges, the Knicks handed over five first rounds to the Nets; are they going to sell it at a low price in one year? The key is that in the contract year, the trading market will definitely decline sharply, but the team's objective situation is that in the 26-27 season, the team's current contracts are 57.08 million, Anunoby 42.5 million, Brunson 37.74 million, and Hart 20.93 million. If Bridges is forcibly renewed, the five-player group will have to take away 203 million in a year, and the luxury tax is so high that it is endless!

Downs' situation is even more embarrassing. This season, he was selected as the All-Star starter, selected as the third team of the All-Star team, and his performance in the playoffs was indeed good, averaging 21 points and 11.6 rebounds per game, but it was obvious that he was out of place with his teammates. Why were the Knicks out of the Eastern Conference Finals embarrassed by the Pacers? In the G1 game, Halliburton drew in overtime, Anunobi had an internal strife with Towns on the bench, complaining that Towns did not care about people when defending, and Towns had just responded a few times, but was scolded by Brunson again! When the G6 Knicks were eliminated, Edwards, a reporter from the team, revealed that the whole team was generally dissatisfied with Towns, and some players said they did not understand Towns' defensive habits and lacked execution. And with the departure of his mentor Thibodeau, Towns' departure this summer is a foregone conclusion!

What should the Knicks do? According to US media reports, although they are not interested in Durant (the teams Durant is really interested in joining are the Knicks + Rockets + Spurs), the Knicks have always wanted to get Antetokounmpo. Towns has three years and a maximum salary of 170 million yuan, Bridges' annual contract salary of 24.9 million yuan, and Miro's expiration contract of 13 million yuan have become their all bargaining chips. The team only has one first-round pick to trade in the next few years. The Nets have four first-round swap rights in the Knicks in 25 years + 27 years + 29 years + 31 years + 28 years. In addition, the team essentially has a problem that cannot be solved. The Villanueva trio of Brunson + Bridges + Hart often hangs together to isolate other people.

To be honest, the Knicks really should have rebuilt. In the first five games of the Eastern Conference Finals, Brunson lost 11.6 points in the Knicks in 100 rounds, and when Brunson was not in the court, Downs led the team, the Knicks won 18.1 points in 100 rounds. Bridges was given up in just one year, and Towns also wanted to become a victim, but the essential problem of the team seemed to be Brunson, and the upper limit of leading the team was not high. And Anunobi has a maximum salary of 176 million yuan in four years. It is basically certain that as long as Towns and Bridges leave, it will be difficult for the Knicks to reach the Eastern Conference Final next season.
