The thousand-year-old fish belly became a favorite to win the championship, and it broke up and rebuilds in a blink of an eye. It turns out that the powerful fish belly is the life of the powerful fis

Previously, the industry generally predicted that this year's NBA offseason will be full of variables unprecedentedly. Many giant clubs are planning to adjust their lineups, and many superstars will also tentatively enter the trading market. Among them, the potential transfers of top players such as Antetokounmpo and Durant have attracted much attention. However, before the highly anticipated finals were opened, shocking news came from the league: the New York Knicks, the historic team, have decided to part ways with head coach Thibodeau. It is worth noting that Thibodeau once led the Knicks to achieve a historic breakthrough, advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time since 1999, and winning four playoff series during his coaching period, a achievement far exceeding the Knicks' previous 13 head coaches combined, so Thibodeau's departure is quite surprising. The official statement issued by the Knicks expounded the core purpose of its organization - to bring the glory of the championship to fans. It is based on this lofty goal that they made a difficult choice to inform coach Tom Thibodeau that the team will explore new development directions. The Knicks management believes that although coach Thibodeau has led the team to make significant progress, it is not enough to lead the team to the top. In fact, the Knicks' performance this season has exceeded expectations, not only ranked third in the Eastern Conference in the regular season, but also eliminated the defending champion Celtics in the second round of the playoffs. However, the team's lineup is insufficient and the bench players lack scoring ability has become a bottleneck restricting their further development. Coach Thibodeau has been criticized for his excessive reliance on the starting lineup, but this move has its helplessness. One is that it is limited by the team's lineup, and the other is that the main players do have excellent durability.

Looking back on this season, several head coaches, including two champion coaches, Budenholzer (Suns) and Mike Malone (Nuggets). In addition, there is Tyler Jenkins of the Grizzlies, who has led the team to more than 50 wins in the regular season twice and ranked second in the Western Conference twice; and Mike Brown of the Kings, who has twice won the NBA head coach of the year and led the Kings to return to the playoffs after 17 years. All of these events reveal a cruel reality: in the cruel competition of competitive sports, the head coach often becomes the scapegoat when the team loses. The most core issue still focuses on the players themselves. Whether it is the construction and depth of the team lineup or the individual ability performance of the players, the role of the head coach is ultimately auxiliary, and it is difficult to completely transform the essence of the established ingredients. For the Knicks, rescinding Thibodeau might have reduced their chances of competing for the championship. After losing in the Eastern Conference Finals, the Knicks not only encountered the storm of the head coach's dismissal, but also fell into a whirlpool of internal conflicts. According to reports from Knicks reporter James L. Edwards, the outside world has high expectations for this team. This expectation is not only reflected in public opinion, but also penetrates into the internal atmosphere of the team's locker room. The real challenge for the Knicks is that their team cohesion often fails to match the outstanding talent shown by players on the field, and the latter is in most cases sufficient to cover up the former’s shortcomings. Throughout the season, Knicks players repeatedly hinted in public that poor communication is the root cause of the team's state fluctuations. During the private communication, the players and coaching team expressed continued dissatisfaction with Towns' defensive habits. They recognized Towns' talent, but were confused and disappointed with his execution strategy on the defensive end. Towns has changed his cover and rotation strategies without authorization many times while defending, and has not given a reasonable explanation.

This season, Towns transferred from the Timberwolves to the Knicks and performed very well here. During the regular season, he averaged 24.4 points, 12.8 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of up to 52.6% and a three-point shooting percentage of 42.0%. All basic data have significantly improved compared with the Timberwolves during the Timberwolves. Entering the playoffs, although Towns' dominance has slightly weakened and he is facing great pressure on the defensive end, he can still prove his worth on the offensive end. As the Knicks' most reliable scoring point, the team is often able to chase points when Towns plays, and when he leaves the game, the team may lose points quickly. At many critical moments, Towns stepped forward to break the deadlock, while Brunson, who performed crucially in the season, performed mediocrely many times. Therefore, the Knicks players collectively accused Towns of poor defense, which was obviously lacking in rationality.

From the favorite to falling apart, the Knicks' conflicts broke out during the offseason have undoubtedly become the focus of the league. The NBA is a business after all, and the changes in it are unpredictable. In any case, this fact cannot be changed. At present, the Knicks are in a serious situation of falling apart. According to Shams, a well-known ESPN reporter, after being eliminated, the Knicks are expected to show high enthusiasm and strong offensive strategies in lineup adjustments. Among them, Carl Anthony Towns is regarded as the player most likely to be the core of the trade. A well-known sports website released the odds list of Towns' potential next home, among which the Suns, Magic and Warriors rank in the top three. In addition, Yahoo Sports reporter Tom also proposed a trading concept, involving a five-for-one trading plan between the Bucks and the Knicks. Specifically, the Knicks will send Carl Anthony Towns, Taylor Colleck, a protected first-round draft pick from the Wizards in 2026, and a first-round draft pick swap in 2026 and 2030 in exchange for the Bucks' star Antetokounmpo. What are your opinions on the rationality of this trading idea?
