If you want to say that the biggest surprises in the West this season, it is the Timberwolves and Thunder. In the impression of many people, the Timberwolves were a long-term bad team. Indeed, the Timberwolves have made a lot of high-level shows in recent years, such as Wiggins and Towns, Edwards and so on. Well, their record is indeed not up. For many seasons, they barely made the playoffs and were out of the first round in seventh or eighth place. This season's Timberwolves, but they have the feeling that the wind is not the same as that of the Roc, with 33 wins and 14 losses, becoming the first place in the West and the biggest dark horse. Of course, the changes in the Timberwolves this season have a lot to do with the progress of Towns and Edwards. However, if they want to go further in the playoffs and other situations, the Timberwolves still need to adjust their roster.
Therefore, according to the relevant news, the Timberwolves will make appropriate changes and upgrades to the current roster. And, at the heart of the change is the exchange of Lee Kyle for Bogdan Bogdanovic. However, judging from the current situation, the two still cannot trade directly, because there is a relatively large gap between the two parties and the contract. First of all, from the perspective of the contract, Li Kaier's contract will expire this season, and the contract of nearly 10 million is not too big, so it is relatively easy to deal with. Well, Bogdan's contract is more troublesome. Even if you count this season, Bogdan has four years left on his contract, and his one-year contract is more than 18 million. Judging from the current performance, Li Kaier's performance this season is not good, and the relevant data is 6+3+4. The main thing is that the three-point shooting percentage is very bad.
I don't know if it's because of eye surgery, this season's Li Kaier's shooting rate is really not good. Compared with Lee Kyle's defense, the Timberwolves now need more offensive firepower from the bench. Of course, Lee Kyle's defense is still more important for many teams, but the Timberwolves don't need it much at the moment. From the starters, the Timberwolves have Edwards and Towns, and there is no lack of firepower on the bench, so it also depends on how the Timberwolves choose players to choose. Of course, from Bogdan's point of view, there are still a lot of attractions about this player. The Hawks are averaging 17 per game1 point 31 plate 26 assists, 43 shooting percentage, 36 three-point shooting9, such scoring efficiency is second only to Blowing Yang and Murray.
Then, from the perspective of the Eagles, the Eagles may not intend to send Bogdan away immediately. And, judging from the environment in the East, the Hawks only need to make changes to their lineups, and they are not completely out of playoff qualification. In addition, the biggest concern of the Eagles' management at the moment is how to send Murray away, and Bogdan is relatively unimportant.
Then, from the technical level of the two, in the previous World Cup, Li Kaier and Bogdan had a fight. In that game, because he had just come to the Chinese team and chased ducks to the shelves, Li Kaier scored zero points in nine shots without a single goal in that game. In the post-match interview, Bogdan also said that Lee Kyle is not very good at playing. So, whether this pair of acquaintances can finally swap teams, then let's wait and see in the next dynamics.
