Fat Tiger - a genius wandering on the dividing line

Fat Tiger was once in a glorious place and was highly regarded as the top scorer in the league, but now it has reached the most important dividing line in his career. Whether to continue to sink or find himself back will be a conclusion next season. Fat Tigers played 30 games in the regular season this season, averaging 28.6 minutes of playing time. Since joining the Pelicans, they have only played 214 games in six seasons, with an attendance rate of only a pitiful 43%. His undisciplined injury problem has always plagued his career. Although the Pelicans renewed the Fat Tiger early in 2023 and provided a five-year maximum salary contract, the many restrictions prove that the team still does not trust Fat Tiger enough.

Yesterday, Shamit Dua reported that several senior executives in the league believed that the value of Zion Williamson's transaction was already very limited and may only be exchanged for junk contracts, without including any high-quality draft picks.

, but his poor appearance rate, huge health risks, undisciplined living habits and private life have seriously depreciated the value of his contract. Fortunately, Fat Tiger's high-paying contract has many restrictions. At the lowest value trough, if any team is willing to bet on Fat Tiger's health and self-discipline, you might as well try to trade. The story of prodigal sons turning back in NBA history is not uncommon, and Rodman and Randolph all interpret this very well. For Fat Tigers, next season is crucial.

Otherwise, it is not uncommon for genius to fall in the NBA, and there is not much time left for him to prove himself.
