Western Talent Team Supermarket opens! All players can trade, and 4 stars are put on the shelves
6:02pm, 31 May 2025Basketball
On May 31, there were no games in the league today, but there were still a lot of news coming out of the NBA. Yang Hansen completed a trial training for the second team today. The result of this trial training is ideal. I hope Hansen can finally successfully enter the NBA. In addition, the US media also reported that the Timberwolves were interested in getting Durant, and they hoped to get a leader to drive the team to success. Obviously, Huazi's lack of leadership temperament disappointed the management.
The Timberwolves' lineup will probably change greatly this offseason. Randall, Reed and Walker are all facing contract renewal. Small football markets like the Timberwolves are obviously unwilling to pay high luxury taxes. They will not send Towns away if they were not for reducing expenses. This is the tragedy of the small football market. If they really get Durant or other stars and the Timberwolves still cannot succeed, they may move towards reconstruction.
Reconstruction in the NBA is not new. Almost every season, a team will move towards reconstruction. When the team cannot go further around the current core lineup, they will choose to change and package the existing core lineup and send it away. Which teams will rebuild this summer? News came out of the league today that the Pelicans planned to rebuild. In fact, I said they should do this a few years ago, but the team just couldn't bear to give up these talents and probably now they have voted.
According to Yahoo reporter Kevin O'Connor, league sources say that the Pelicans are evaluating the trading value of all their players, in which case their stars are tradeable. When you see this, fans will probably have questions. A few days ago, I saw that the Pelicans management and Zion had a smooth exchange, and the team plans to continue to focus on him to the playoffs. Why did it put on the shelves again in just a few days? I think the main reason here may be that Zion defendant has been related recently.
A woman sued Zion for sexual assault on her and beat her. If this matter is confirmed, Zion's career will be affected. Zion's private life has been very messy all the time. It is also a wise choice for the Pelicans to choose to rebuild, after all, it is difficult for the team to win the championship around the current lineup. Everyone knows the team's boss Zion, who has top personal abilities, but his attendance rate is too low, and he averages 24.6 points, 7.2 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game this season.
If Zion can stay healthy, he is a superstar player in the league. Although he does not have the ability to shoot, he can also lead the team to win with his talent and inside advantage, because his attendance rate is very low, and his trading value is now severely declining. Dezhang Taimury's trading value is not high. After all, he suffered a serious injury before. It is hard to say whether he can recover from his peak after returning. The former All-Star backcourt averaged 17.5 points, 6.4 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game this season. In addition to the two All-Stars mentioned above, the team also has two quasi-All-Star players. This is also the most valuable player in the Pelicans' trade. One is CJ McCollum, who is closest to the peak of Klay in the current service, and has both ball and no ball ability. He averages 21.1 points, 3.8 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game this season. He can be said to be one of the three best players in the active league. His scoring is too guaranteed and he has a lot of experience in the competition.
The other one is Trae Murphy. After Ingram left the team, Murphy got absolute ball rights to prove himself. In this season, Murphy averaged 21.2 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.5 assists per game. He is one of the best scorers in the active league. He is better than CJ because his defense is better and he is younger. If you want to trade him, you probably need young potential + 2 first-round picks as bargaining chips.
In addition to these 4, the Pelicans also have several players with excellent talent, such as Herbert Jones, who is one of the best individual defenders in the active league and can switch to multiple positions. Although his offensive ability is not very good, he can play a role in 3D. He is a bit similar to Anunobi, who can defend five positions, and a version of Anunobi with weak offensive ability, which is estimated to require 2 first-round picks to get him.
The team also has an excellent puzzle like Alvarado. Although the offensive ability is poor, the sixth brother is active enough, has good defense, and is good at stealing chickens. The team's rookie Missy has reached a qualified inside level. What height can be reached in the future is worth looking forward to. I think the Pelicans may not send him away. After all, Missy is still very young and can grow with the team. Jordan Hawkins is one of the best substitute shooters in the active league. He sucks the wind and his firepower is quite terrifying.
The Pelicans have too many talents, and it is because of this that they are unwilling to rebuild, but they have been unable to succeed, which has also made them lose patience. The new president Dumas takes office and probably wants to make some changes. Having said that, what do you want to say about the current Pelicans? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
