This season, many teams in the NBA league have not achieved their expected win rates. For example, the Philadelphia 76ers, with their luxury lineup of Embiid, Paul George, and Maxi, still have a win rate that ranks fourth from the bottom in the East. The 76ers formed this three-giant lineup with the goal of winning the championship, but with Embiid, George, and Maxi taking turns getting injured, it's estimated that even making it to the playoffs will be a challenge. The Minnesota Timberwolves in the West are also a team that has experienced some disappointment. Last season, they were at the top of the Western Conference, but this season, the Timberwolves are finding it difficult to even make it to the playoffs. Officially disbanded! A super dark horse with 1 win and 16 losses, the four giants lineup disintegrates, and the No. 1 pick and No. 2 pick are traded. NBA journalist Evan Sidery reported that the Timberwolves' management is evaluating Julius Randle's trade value to address their inconsistent start. After trading away Towns, the Timberwolves not only lost an important offensive helper but also remain above the second-tier luxury tax line in terms of salary. Therefore, the Timberwolves still need to trade Randle, preferably clearing his contract while completing trades to strengthen the team. Randle is averaging 20.0 points, 6.9 rebounds, 4.1 assists, and 0.8 steals this season. Additionally, DiVincenzo joined the Timberwolves as a substitute but has performed poorly, and he has also expressed dissatisfaction. This season, there is another team in the Western Conference that has a…

The Clippers, after defeating the strong team Grizzlies, will return home to face the Warriors. Today, the Warriors have updated their player injury list, which is similar to what Kerr previously revealed about resting Curry for one game in a back-to-back situation. The Warriors have indeed chosen to rest Curry against the Clippers, citing knee tendonitis as the reason. In addition, Draymond Green is also questionable due to a back injury and is unlikely to play. As we analyzed, it seems that the Warriors will definitely rest Curry when facing the Clippers. Next up is another back-to-back, with the Warriors playing the Clippers away and then rushing back home to play the Suns. Which game should Curry rest for between the Clippers and the Suns? I think it would be the Clippers. The Clippers have been on fire recently, with Harden leading the team and turning Powell and Zubac into giants. The team's defense is also very strong with Van Gundy at the helm, and they have already double-killed the Warriors, winning with or without Curry. Considering that playing the Clippers is an away game, it would be difficult for Curry to win even if he played. It would be better to fully prepare for the Suns, especially since it's at the Warriors' home court. The Suns have not been in good form recently, with Booker continuing to rest. From the Warriors' perspective, the Suns are an easy target to handle. Of course, the Clippers also have their fair share of injuries. The official injury list for the game against…

Currently, the Los Angeles Lakers are in trouble. The Lakers have not been doing well recently. Key players are not performing well, and the defense is a mess, resulting in seven losses in the past nine games. Just like in our domestic CBA league, there is a team that has encountered a similar situation. A team that was once highly anticipated, but several key players were not in good form on the court, constantly making mistakes, and not being proactive in defense. This led to their defeat in several games, leaving fans quite disappointed. This is very similar to the current situation of the Lakers, where player issues have made the team's performance less than ideal. The Los Angeles Lakers management found that they must adjust the lineup through trades. We say that the Lakers often appear in this kind of situation that relies on trades to adjust the lineup. Why? Taking this season's offseason as an example, they hardly adjusted the lineup at all. You say that some teams in our domestic CBA league are also like this. Just like a previous team, there were no major moves during the offseason, and the results were not ideal after the new season started. It was only then that they discovered problems with the lineup and had to try to change the situation through various trades. The Lakers are now in a similar situation. On Friday, local time in the United States, according to American media reporter Bill Simmons, the Lakers should trade Anthony Davis. Well, this news is really surprising!…

Recently, rumors about a "conflict" between Zhou Qi and Beijing Shougang have caused ripples, much like a stone thrown into a lake. As a well-known figure in the basketball world, every move of Zhou Qi is closely watched. After missing several games for Beijing Shougang, it naturally led to speculation that there might be irreconcilable conflicts between him and the team. After all, friction between players and teams is not uncommon in professional basketball. However, this time, the truth turned out to be unexpected. According to Xu Limin, the head coach of Beijing Shougang, Zhou Qi's absence was not due to a conflict with the team but because of his severe health issues. Symptoms such as colds, fever, and vomiting have drastically worsened Zhou Qi's physical condition, making him unable to withstand high-intensity matches. When discussing this matter, Xu Limin could not hide his regret. He knew that as an important member of the team, Zhou Qi's absence undoubtedly dealt a significant blow to the team. Looking back at Zhou Qi's performance this season, he played in 7 games for Beijing Shougang, averaging 12.9 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1 steal, and 2 blocks per game. These statistics are particularly valuable given his limited playing time. Zhou Qi's on-court performance has always been praised; his height and wingspan advantage, excellent finishing ability under the basket, and defensive deterrence have provided significant support to Beijing Shougang. Due to health problems, he had to miss multiple games, which also led to various speculations about the reasons for his absence. Xu Limin clearly…
