The Warriors played a beautiful team basketball game without Curry, which showed that they are still competitive even without their star player. The Grizzlies, on the other hand, exposed some issues after losing on the road. In this game, the Warriors demonstrated strong team cohesion, with Wiggins scoring the highest of 24 points while also limiting the opponent's offense on defense, reminiscent of his outstanding performance in the championship season. Schroder put up an efficient 17-point performance off the bench, replacing Curry. His drives and passes kept the Warriors' offensive system running smoothly, proving that his signing at the beginning of the season was a wise choice. Although Green only scored 9 points, his organization and defensive support on the court were still very beneficial to the team, especially his defensive disruptions in the fourth quarter that directly stalled the Grizzlies' offense. Hield and Kuminga also had excellent performances off the bench, scoring 14 and 13 points respectively. They hit consecutive three-pointers in a small surge in the second quarter, helping the team establish a lead. Davis didn't score much, but his 11 points and 9 rebounds showed his dominance in the paint, especially his rebound protection on defense, effectively limiting the Grizzlies' second-chance opportunities. Waters also had an efficient 16-point performance off the bench, scoring consecutively in the third quarter to stabilize the situation, showing the depth of the Warriors' bench. Although Li Kairui only scored 7 points, his defensive intensity and positivity on the court are worth recognizing, especially during the rotation lineup period, his defensive positioning repeatedly…

New Season, New Dynamics: Each of the 30 teams in the league has its own challenges. Taking the East as an example, Jimmy Butler failed to renew his contract with the Heat, and he is unhappy and not performing well, even requesting a trade. Pat Riley has suspended him for seven games. Regardless of where Butler ends up, the Heat should act decisively to resolve the situation. On the other hand, in the West, the Suns have three superstars - Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and Bradley Beal - but they are plagued by injuries, making it difficult for their unbalanced lineup to compete in the competitive Western Conference. It's time for a major reshuffle of the roster. Notably, Butler is interested in joining the Suns to team up with KD, and KD also needs a tough forward like Butler! Since the new owner, Mat Ishbia, took over the Suns, the team has set championship contention as its top goal. To achieve this, Ishbia made three significant moves: first, bringing in KD to raise the team's ceiling; second, trading Chris Paul for the prolific scorer Beal; and third, trading Deandre Ayton for the European heavyweight center, Jusuf Nurkic! Thus, the Suns built an unusual lineup: three top-paid scorers (KD, Booker, Beal) + a super heavyweight blue-collar center (Nurkic) + several low-salary role players! Unfortunately, the Suns have been ravaged by injuries, leaving them far from championship contention! In the new season, the Suns started anew but fell behind again in the fiercely competitive West! So far, the Suns have only managed…

Butler's Split with Herro: How Did the Heat's Internal Strife Erupt? A team that always prides itself on being "iron-blooded" now finds its locker room almost "stewing in its own pot." The Miami Heat recently exploded after a loss to the Pacers—Jimmy Butler, the star player, immediately announced his application for a trade after the game, and the reason? It was because he had a falling out with Tyler Herro, the new generation's scoring ace. This farce broke the Heat's locker room culture, which is known for its "strict discipline." The question is, is this conflict really just because of one game or a few words? In fact, this "high-pressure pot that has been under pressure for a long time" has started to smoke. The starting point of the incident occurred after the game against the Pacers. The Heat ended the game with an unexpected loss, but the post-game turmoil was even more intense than the loss. In an interview, Tyler Herro showed great confidence, even with a bit of smugness, saying something that made people uncomfortable: "I know who should have the ball in the clutch moments - it's 'me.'" Don't underestimate such a sentence, it can be described as "pouring oil on the fire." This not only subtly pointed out the problem: Who is the real "boss" of the team? It also directly put the contradiction on the table. And upon hearing these words, Butler responded even more fiercely. He did not refute in public, but then directly expressed his dissatisfaction to the management and applied for a…

Butler is 1000% unwilling to play for the Heat anymore and is doing everything he can to get the team to trade him away. As the saying goes, "A forced melon is not sweet." With no intention of continuing to play for the Heat, Butler has been performing poorly on the court, scoring only 9 points in each of his last two games. Although the Heat previously stated that they would not trade Butler, they could not resist his proactive application for a trade. Yes, Butler has done it; he has formally submitted a trade request to the Heat, and the relationship between the two sides has completely deteriorated. This time, Butler did not specify a destination team; he is willing to go to any team except the Heat, confident that he can make himself and his new team competitive anywhere. However, there is still an old problem: it's not that teams are unwilling to take over, but rather that the goddess only wants to have fun and then leave. All teams in the league have been notified that Butler will decline his player option worth $52.41 million next season and enter the free market. This means that the team trading for Butler from the Heat this season may only have half a year of his services... Many people may be curious as to why the Heat do not proactively trade Butler, at least to recover some assets for themselves; do they love him that much? Salary expert Marks explained that if the Heat insist on keeping Butler until his…

The Houston Rockets lost at home to the Boston Celtics, once again demonstrating that what the Rockets lack is top-tier star players. Currently, the Rockets do not have a single player who has reached All-Star level; even Alperen Sengun, whose statistics look decent, has poor defense. Despite still ranking third in the Western Conference, the Rockets will face many strong teams in the coming games. With the uncertain injuries of Smith and Ison, they may be out for an extended period, making it imperative for the Rockets to improve their roster through trades. The Rockets have been trying to pursue All-Star level players or even superstars. They offered a good deal of Jalen Green plus a first-round draft pick for Bridges when he was still with the Brooklyn Nets, but the trade ultimately did not materialize. Now, another opportunity has presented itself to Rockets' general manager Rafael Stone. If he is willing to provide sufficient assets, they could have a chance to acquire Jimmy Butler, the superstar forward from the Miami Heat. Jimmy Butler has had a falling out with the Heat and was suspended for seven games. It's a foregone conclusion that he will be traded. Butler previously expressed that the Rockets are one of the teams he would like to join. As a native of Houston, playing in front of his hometown crowd would be a return to his roots for the 35-year-old veteran. However, the Rockets seem to have little interest in Butler. According to the latest news, the Rockets' management has no intention of pursuing Butler.…

On January 3rd, Beijing time, the latest round of NBA regular season has come to an end. In the just-concluded focus match between the Warriors and the 76ers, the Warriors relied on Curry's super performance of 30+6+10 to easily defeat the 76ers 139-105 at home, successfully catching up with the Timberwolves ranked eighth in the West. As one of the top three teams in the West in the early season, the Warriors once achieved unexpected results under the circumstances of holding a "bad hand." However, as the schedule progressed in-depth, multiple factors plagued the Warriors' competitiveness to plummet. If it weren't for Curry's strong bottoming out, the Warriors might have to go through the tragedy of finishing last in the West again last season. Moreover, although the Warriors introduced Schroder in the past few games, the team did not show a brand-new competitive state, so continuing to find an All-Star partner for Curry is still a key issue that the Warriors are currently focusing on. It is worth mentioning that at the same time, in the Eastern Conference, reporter Shams revealed that Butler has clearly expressed his willingness to trade to the management, hoping to leave the team before the trade deadline and join any team other than the Heat because he firmly believes that he can shape the team into a championship contender anywhere. After comprehensive consideration, Butler, who applied for a trade, became the most ideal reinforcement target for the Warriors, and coincidentally, the Warriors were listed among Butler's ideal next home list. In this regard, American media…

Heat Suspends Butler for 7 Games with a Loss of $2.35 Million! Famous Criticizes Riley for Overstepping, Warriors Have Discussed Trades On January 4th, Beijing time, the drama surrounding Butler's departure from the Heat has escalated. In response to Butler's trade request, the Heat officially announced his suspension without pay for seven games and stated that they will consider offers for him. The Warriors, previously mentioned by Butler as a team he was interested in joining, have already engaged in preliminary trade discussions with the Heat. Heat Suspends Butler for 7 Games In the face of Butler's clear demand for a trade, even publicly stating his willingness to go anywhere but Miami, Pat Riley of the Heat has shown a tough stance. After confirming the authenticity of the news, the team began to formally listen to trade offers for Butler. The Heat then quickly issued a statement, citing unfavorable behavior since the start of the season, especially in recent weeks, as the reason for suspending Butler without pay for seven games. According to the labor agreement, Butler will lose 1/145 of his annual salary per game, which is 346,543,totaling346,543, totaling 346,543,totaling2.35 million for seven games. Since it is a team suspension rather than a league suspension, only Butler's salary is affected, not the Heat's luxury tax. More importantly, including these seven suspended games, Butler will miss 17 games this season. This means he cannot miss any remaining games to meet the "65-game" rule and retain eligibility for regular-season awards. Whether or not he can win awards such as the All-NBA…

Brothers, we have to face this reality. According to the joint report by ESPN's authoritative journalists Shams and Brian Windhorst, Jimmy Butler has officially submitted a trade request to the Miami Heat, deciding to leave the place that once gave him countless memories and also made him feel sentimental. Changes in people's hearts often come with subtle signs. On the court, Butler scored only 9 points in two consecutive games against the Pacers and Pelicans, which triggered dissatisfaction from the team's management. On the sidelines, when the Heat's bench players stood up to cheer for the team, Butler sat alone in silence, as if out of tune with the surrounding enthusiasm. In a post-game interview, when asked if he could still find his past happiness on the court in Miami, he gave a profound answer: "Probably not." Do you remember the Heat's previous official denial? "We generally do not respond to rumors, but these speculations undoubtedly distract the team's attention, which is unfair to both the coaches and players. Therefore, we clearly state that we will not trade Jimmy Butler." However, the facts are quite different from their statement. The biggest disagreement lies in the issue of treatment, as Heat President Riley rejected Butler's request for a 2-year, $113 million contract extension during the offseason. It is said that the Heat owner Micky Arison, President Pat Riley, and Butler's agent met several times to try to resolve this potential crisis, but unfortunately, they failed to reach an agreement. Every day in Miami became increasingly painful for Butler. Even Shams further…

The Spurs lost 110-112 on the road to the Timberwolves, dropping to 10th place in the rankings. The Timberwolves defeated the Spurs to win their third consecutive victory, moving up to 8th place in the team rankings. In the previous game, the Spurs defeated the Nets with Wenyamama's outstanding performance. In this game, he also played well, shooting 13 of 30 for 34 points and 8 rebounds, including 4 of 12 from three-point range. Why does Wenyamama love to shoot three-pointers so much when he clearly can't make them? Barnes scored 24 points, Vassell 22 points, and Paul shot 0 of 6 from the field but made all six free throws for 6 points and 14 assists; Edwards had 14 points and 8 rebounds, Randle 16 points, Gobert 17 points and 15 rebounds, and DiVincenzo scored 26 points and grabbed 7 rebounds. At the start of the game, the Spurs took an early lead over the Timberwolves by 8 points, but in the second quarter, the Spurs struggled and lost by 20 points in a single quarter. In the third quarter, Wenyamama scored 11 points to help the team tie the score, but in the final crucial moments, the Timberwolves won the game with free throws. The Rockets lost 100-104 at home to the Heat, suffering their second consecutive loss. Due to the Grizzlies' loss to the Thunder, their ranking remained unchanged, with the Grizzlies in second and the Rockets in third. In this game, the Rockets repeated their mistakes from the previous game against the Timberwolves. They were leading…
