This season, the competition in the Western Conference is more brutal than last season, with a win rate of 50% currently unable to even make it into the top eight! For example, the Phoenix Suns have a temporary record of 15 wins and 15 losses, ranking only 10th in the Western Conference, which means that Durant and Booker may not be able to make it to the playoffs at the end of this season. Obviously, this is unacceptable for the Suns. With a three-star lineup that cannot obtain rebuilding resources through the draft in the next three years, they will obviously seek an immediate way to change. According to American media "FW," if the three stars don't work, how about four stars? It is reported that the media has given the latest trade plan for the Phoenix Suns, which is proposed as: The Suns can try to send Jusuf Nurkic + the first-round pick in 2031 to the Bulls to seek a 2-for-1 trade for Nikola Vucevic! For Chicago, any plan that allows the team to rebuild faster is a good one. Therefore, this is a trade plan that has a high probability of happening, and if it ultimately meets Phoenix's wishes, congratulations to Durant in advance. Because Vucevic's arrival can allow the Suns to form a four-star lineup, and his average of 20.7 points, 9.8 rebounds, and 3.2 assists per game is enough to make the Suns favor and trust him. It is worth mentioning that Vucevic's shooting percentage this season has reached 57.8%, with a three-point shooting percentage…

The NBA's Golden State Warriors are once again embroiled in internal strife! On December 29th, during the home game against the Phoenix Suns, Draymond Green couldn't resist showing off his big mouth again. Seeing that Hield, who came off the bench, missed all seven of his three-point attempts, Draymond couldn't help but start ranting on the spot. This scene is all too familiar, just like when he previously confronted Poole and Durant. The Warriors managed to eke out a hard-fought victory, winning 109-105 against the Suns. Draymond Green played quite well, scoring 16 points, grabbing 8 rebounds, and dishing out 7 assists in over 34 minutes, with a high shooting percentage including 3 out of 5 from beyond the arc. In contrast, Hield, who played for 14 minutes, seemed to be sleepwalking, missing all seven of his three-point shots and failing to score a single point, which was frustrating to watch. There was a hilarious moment caught on camera where Draymond unleashed a tirade at Hield: "Wake up, damn it! Or sit down and shut up!" His words were quite harsh. When asked about this after the game, Draymond went even further: "I told the microphone I don't care. Hield has too little experience in key moments; we need to make him understand what this means. Don't like it? Tough! That's why I have four championship rings and they don't." Fans are in an uproar, saying all sorts of things. Some say: "We just forgave Poole for hitting someone a few days ago, now we have to forgive you for…

Four-division world champion, WBA/WBC/WBO super middleweight defending champion, Mexican boxer Canelo Alvarez (61 wins, 2 losses, 2 draws, 39 KOs) recently told the media that the match against Crawford (41 wins, 31 KOs) will be very easy! We are not in the same weight class. I didn't want to fight him before because he always likes to run during the game. In his last match against Madrimov (10 wins, 1 loss, 1 draw, 7 KOs), he ran less! As long as the price is right, I am willing to fight Crawford immediately! Also, there is a reason for boxing to divide weight classes! It must be said that Canelo is becoming more and more like a businessman! The reason why Canelo is now interested in fighting Crawford! I think there are three main reasons! First, he watched the Crawford vs. Madrimov match and felt that Crawford's condition after upgrading was average, which made him more confident of winning Crawford! Second, Canelo currently cannot find suitable opponents, so fighting undefeated champion Crawford is also a good choice! Third: He will meet with the rich Arash next January. Before the meeting, he released some friendly signals to gain the upper hand in the negotiation! Canelo's statement is undoubtedly good news for Crawford! However, my idea remains unchanged. Before fighting Canelo, it would be a good arrangement for Crawford to win a middleweight championship belt! On the one hand, it can help him adapt to the changes in his body after gaining weight, on the other hand, it can give him another chance…

NBA regular season action continues, and despite the Clippers not being scheduled for a Christmas Day game, their ranking has been affected by other matchups. Among them, the Lakers defeated the Warriors 115-113 on the road, a result that indirectly impacted the Clippers. The Clippers Need to Rely on Themselves to Return to the Top 6! After the Lakers' victory over the Warriors, both the Clippers and Lakers have a record of 17 wins and 13 losses. The Lakers temporarily rank ahead of the Clippers due to their record against Western Conference teams, leaving the Clippers in the seventh spot in the West, back in the play-in tournament zone. However, the Clippers don't need to panic too much as their upcoming schedule isn't particularly challenging. Their next game is at home against the Warriors, who are currently struggling, and the Clippers haven't lost to the Warriors this season, earning them the nickname "Warriors Killer." Following that, the Clippers will face the Pelicans, Spurs, Thunder, and Hawks in succession. Aside from the Thunder, the rest are on the fringes of playoff contention, with the Pelicans even at the bottom of the West. If the Clippers seize these opportunities, returning to the top 6 in the West should be manageable. Aiming for the Championship, the Clippers' Strength Is Promising! Clearly, even though they're currently seventh in the West, the Clippers' overall performance far exceeds expectations. With Leonard out due to injury, Harden has stepped up, and Powell has become the most stable offensive force, leading the team in scoring. Zubac continues to…

Translation of the article content into English: Since the inception of the NBA, only 23 people have been able to reach 25,000 points, showing that the milestone of 25,000 points is not something that anyone can achieve easily. After all, the NBA is the highest level of basketball competition, with a much higher intensity than the CBA. Xiao Cui hasn't even played a season yet and has already been ruled out for the season. Without further ado, let's mainly discuss some data on how Jordan, Kobe, and James reached the 25,000-point mark. Jordan reached 25,000 points in 782 games Looking at Jordan's career, he achieved 6 championships, 6 Finals MVPs, 5 regular-season MVPs, and 10 scoring titles in his first 13 seasons, which are indeed difficult for current or future players to surpass. The last two seasons of his comeback with the Wizards were unnecessary. Many people lost their chance at a championship during Jordan's prime, and the most regrettable was probably Karl Malone, who was defeated by Jordan twice in the finals. In terms of technique, Jordan could be said to have reached the realm of perfect harmony between man and ball, with textbook-level moves such as various breakthroughs, hang times, and one-on-one plays. He used his rich array of scoring methods to complete the 25,000-point milestone in just 782 games, averaging around 32 points per game. Kobe reached 25,000 points in 989 games Kobe fought in the league for 20 seasons, and his career can be described as an unceasing struggle. Although many people criticize him for being…

On December 29th, Beijing time, today's NBA games have all ended. Stars such as Brunson, Kuminga, Jokic, Irving, and Davis have performed exceptionally well, making them candidates for today's best player. The Knicks defeated the Wizards 136-132, securing their seventh consecutive victory. They currently hold a record of 22 wins and 10 losses, firmly ranking third in the Eastern Conference, having transformed into a top-tier strong team. Brunson of the Knicks shot 18 out of 31, scoring 55 points with 3 rebounds and 9 assists, demonstrating an MVP-level performance. However, the opponent's strength was somewhat weak. Towns scored 30 points and 14 rebounds, Hart had 13 points, 11 rebounds, and 7 assists, while Bridges contributed 21 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 steals. Despite the Wizards' seven players scoring in double digits, including 17 three-pointers out of 38 attempts, Shanpani scored 31 points and 10 rebounds but still failed to lead the team to victory. The Wizards are currently ranked last in the East with a record of 5 wins and 24 losses. The Warriors defeated the Suns 109-105, returning to the top 10 in the West, while the Suns dropped to 11th place. Kuminga of the Warriors, who came off the bench, was the most outstanding player, shooting 12 out of 20 to score 34 points, 9 rebounds, and 3 assists. Curry scored 22 points with 6 rebounds and 6 assists, performing moderately well. Green contributed 16 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals, and 1 block, while Schroder shot 4 out of 13 to score 11 points, making only…

The decision by the Clippers to part ways with Paul George during this offseason has been controversial, but from the perspective of long-term planning, financial flexibility, and team competitiveness, it may be a practical one. George's performance remained stable last season, but considering his age of 34 and injury history, coupled with his desire for a four-year, $212 million maximum contract, the Clippers' choice not to renew his contract was a wise move. Firstly, the Clippers' decision to let George go is a reasonable choice based on financial considerations. George's demands not only include high salaries but also come with a no-trade clause, which is a limitation for the Clippers. If the Clippers had accepted his demands, they would have faced greater salary pressure over the next four years. This would undoubtedly have been a huge burden on their future salary cap space. Despite the strong financial resources of the Clippers' owner, Steve Ballmer, even he must reassess spending due to the NBA's "second luxury tax threshold" system. The second luxury tax threshold is not just about high luxury tax penalties but also includes a series of operational restrictions, such as freezing draft picks, being unable to conduct multi-contract aggregation trades, having no mid-level exception or trade exception, etc., which limits the team's ability to operate flexibly. Secondly, the Clippers' choice also reflects their plans for the future. George's contract would have been one year longer than that of another core player, Kawhi Leonard, and the Clippers clearly do not want to invest too much energy in aging players. Instead,…

The Lakers completed a trade in the late hours of Beijing time tonight, ultimately trading away Russell to the Brooklyn Nets in exchange for Finney-Smith and Milton. This trade is considered very profitable for the Lakers, as Russell's role on the team has become quite minimal. Trading Russell for two 3D players is seen as an absolutely perfect move for the Lakers. With Finney-Smith and Milton joining the Lakers, how will Redick reorganize the lineup? This is something many fans are curious about. Both players can be heavily utilized upon joining the Lakers, with Finney-Smith even having the potential to enter the starting lineup. So, which player should be benched from the starting lineup? Many are considering whether to move Hachimura to the bench, as his lateral speed on defense is slow, and his three-point shooting efficiency is not as good as Finney-Smith's. However, if Hachimura is benched, there may be a significant decline in his performance, as such instances have occurred before. Therefore, it appears that Finney-Smith is likely to replace Christie in the starting lineup. On the bench, one player is likely to be benched, and that is Reddish. Compared to Reddish, Milton has a higher three-point accuracy and excellent defensive capabilities. As a result, Reddish's playing time should be very limited. Redick is not a coach who likes to excessively expand the rotation, and currently, Christie's performance is also outstanding. Considering his development, it is necessary to ensure Christie's playing time. This will make the Lakers' rotation very crowded, causing them to experience the happy trouble of…

NBA Trade Rumors: Los Angeles Lakers Journalist Predicts the Possibility of a Major Trade for De'Aaron Fox It has been reported that amidst the Sacramento Kings' five-game losing streak, the Los Angeles Lakers have been linked with De'Aaron Fox. According to insider Tim MacMahon, the relationship with Klutch Sports may lead people around the league to mention the Lakers as a potential landing spot for Sacramento's trade of Fox. Klutch Sports is an agency owned and founded by Rich Paul. Its clients include Fox, as well as Lakers stars LeBron James and Anthony Davis. As Lakers fans draft various plausible trade scenarios, team journalists, Jovan Buha from The Athletic and Claire De Lune from The Guardian, predict that a trade between the Lakers and Kings could be possible. De Lune dismisses the possibility of a blockbuster trade bringing Fox to the Lakers, citing the relationship between the teams. "I can't imagine there would be any special trade between Sacramento and the Lakers, Sacramento isn't just taking the Lakers' kitchen sink and ransacking them," she said on Friday's episode of 'The Buha's Block.' "I can imagine the Lakers might be the last team on their list that they want to send their best player to. If people want to talk about the mythical Lakers tax, I think this could be a scenario." More than two decades ago, during the three-peat era of Kobe Bryant-Shaq O'Neal, the playoff rivalry between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Sacramento Kings began to heat up. Since then, there has been no affection between the two…

On December 30th, Beijing time, the Lakers finally found their desired 3D player, Finney Smith, and completed a 5-for-2 trade, acquiring Finney Smith from the Nets to strengthen their frontcourt, which made the Rockets very envious. This season, although the Rockets are ranked high in the West, they still have some distance to go in their pursuit of the championship. On the other hand, the Kings have been losing games, with significant internal issues, and their core player, Fox, has been the subject of trade rumors. If Fox is willing to leave, the Rockets would be his most likely destination. In response, American media outlet FW proposed a trade plan where the Rockets would acquire Fox, while the Kings would receive Sheppard, Dillon, Whitmore, the 2025 first-round pick, the 2027 first-round pick, the 2028 first-round pick, and the 2029 first-round pick, resulting in a 7-for-1 trade. Honestly, this trade plan is quite crazy, almost like the Rockets going all-in to get Fox, which is equivalent to betting on the team's future. Currently, the Rockets lack a decisive role player. They also expose their weaknesses when facing strong competition, as seen in their game against the Timberwolves, where Shen Jing's free throws, Green's turnovers, and VanVleet's missed shots affected the team's development. If the Rockets want to become competitive players, Fox is undoubtedly the best choice. He is both offensive and defensive, and if the trade is completed, it would be a significant change for the Rockets. After completing the trade, the Rockets will retain young players Amen Thompson and Ethan,…
