The Grizzlies suffered a crushing defeat, losing by 51 points. Is this making people anxious, or has it finally made them realize something? According to American journalist Siegel, the Warriors are planning to trade three young players from their team: Kuminga, Moody, and Bjelica. If the Warriors had this idea during the summer offseason this year, Marquinhos would have already brought his talent to the Golden State. Speaking of Bjelica, everyone originally had high hopes for him, thinking he could perform well. This season, he's in his second year, but unexpectedly, he's not performing as well as his rookie season. In his rookie season, he averaged 9.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 3.7 assists, with a shooting percentage of 45.4% and a three-point percentage of 38.5%. But this season, so far, he's only averaging 8.2 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 3.5 assists, with a shooting percentage of 39.6% and a three-point percentage of 25.8%. Recently, a brave journalist bluntly stated, "Bjelica hasn't reached the level to be a rotational player yet, the Warriors should bench him and not let him play." American media NBA Memes once mocked Bjelica, saying, "The Warriors actually gave up on George and Marquinhos for him." I have to tell you something, a few days ago, that fake news outlet NBA Centel posted a dynamic saying, "If Bjelica doesn't improve his basketball skills, he'll be kicked out of the Warriors." Then, Draymond Green secretly liked this post... So, Bjelica, who was once a darling, has now become a nuisance to everyone. The Warriors are planning to trade him…
