With the deepening of the schedule, the new season has reached a critical node, many teams are expected to adjust and trade the lineup again, and there are frequent news in the recent transaction market, including the Raptors, Bulls and other teams have been rumored, and there will be a possibility of a trade next, which has also attracted the attention of many teams to them, after all, if they trade, there are still many players who can attract the interest of the team and improve the team's lineup to a certain extent.
The Bulls have won four in a row in the past period, and it is worth mentioning that the absence of the team's star LaVine during the winning streak also makes the outside world feel incredible, after all, they have been losing when the team is complete, and LaVine's absence has stimulated the play of young players in the lineup, which has further accelerated the team's idea of completely tearing down and rebuilding. You know, even your All-Star players like LaVine can be traded and waived when they can't help the team, and some role players who can help the team are really not for sale, such as Caruso, and it is reported that some teams have sought a trade for Caruso and have been rejected by the Bulls.
It can be seen that when a player can help the team, they will not give it up easily when it is a positive asset of the team, but once the player is unable to help the team and become a burden to the team, then there is a large possibility that they will seek a trade to send him away, and seek to strengthen this in the future, after all, the team's goal is to impact better results and even a championship, which is the case in the business league. Goodbye Big Four?From the main player to the bench, a new career low, the biggest loser in the trade is released.
On the other hand, the team can do anything in order to win, just like the Clippers have been seeking the deployment of the lineup and personnel rotation after trading Harden, and after many attempts, they finally decided to put Wei Shao on the bench, and the team's record has gradually improved after the adjustment, it is worth mentioning that after Harden came to the team, Wei Shao's data has declined significantly. In the past many games, Wei Shao has scored single-digit points in many games, and his playing time has also dropped significantly.
Another player has been completely abandoned by the team in the past period, from the bench to the direct NDP, and the interesting thing is that during his 5 consecutive DNP games, the team has a 4-1 record, and he is the team's Tucker, who is 38 years old. After coming to the Clippers this season, he was expected to be able to provide the help the team wanted, but in reality, he fell far short of expectations, playing only 12 games so far this season, averaging 24 minutes per game, and being able to get 12 points 24 rebounds 07 assists 05 steals and shooting just 26%, and the three-point shooting percentage is just 273%, a precipitous drop compared to last season.
You must know that Tucker has been the team's starter for a long time (except for the Bucks), and although he can help the team on the offensive end, he can still help the team on the defensive end and three-point shooting. In the previous Harden trade, he was brought to the Clippers, originally thought that he could also play his own strength in the Clippers, but judging from the effect of the game, he has become a negative asset for the team, and there is obviously no place for Tucker in the Clippers system. After all, they were a system with Leonard and George at their core.
Coupled with the fact that the 38-year-old Tucker is indeed declining and obviously difficult to help the team, this led to the team's decision to drop him at the airport in the past, according to Shams of the Athletic, sources said that Tucker is frustrated with his situation with the team, and the two sides are discussing how to solve his role with the team or elsewhere. This means that Tucker is likely to say goodbye to the Clippers to a certain extent, which means that he will leave the Big Four. A number of championship contenders are currently keeping an eye on Tucker's situation with the Clippers, hoping to acquire the defensive stalwart at the forward through a trade.
It has to be said that the 38-year-old Tucker has become the biggest loser in the Harden trade, from the original starter to the bench to the possible departure of Tucker in the future, it depends on the follow-up trade discussions.
