This season, the intensity of the regular season has been unusually fierce, especially in the Western Conference, where the gap between the top 12 teams is razor-thin. Nuggets head coach Malone has spoken out, stating that since he took over as coach of the Denver Nuggets, this year's challenges have been significant, mainly due to the strong desire to win and seize opportunities among the teams in the West. Among them, the Phoenix Suns and the Golden State Warriors both made impressive performances at the start of the season, even securing an 8-1 record to firmly occupy first place in the West. Although they have gradually dropped out of the playoff picture, it cannot be denied that under Jones' leadership, the Suns' trio has played with more fluidity, instantly transforming from last season's poor offensive state. As for the Golden State Warriors, their situation is also very difficult. Despite the acquisition of All-Star guard Buddy Hield for $32 million over four years, his excellent shooting skills successfully dethroned the reigning champions, the Boston Celtics, breaking their undefeated home streak. However, this sixth man who averages 12.3 points and 3.4 rebounds has proven himself to be extremely inconsistent, forcing the team management to recognize reality. To turn things around, they need to get rid of these "negative assets" that can't hold up on the court. The pressure has prompted general manager Dunleavy to fire the first shot of the new season, with Melton's departure helping the Warriors transform. The backcourt of Curry and Schroder is highly anticipated. However, the Warriors management…

The biggest news in the NBA recently is where Butler will go. Butler was suspended for 7 games due to disagreements with Riley, and as the days approach, Butler's issue has not been resolved. Butler submitted a trade request, but the Heat have not yet received an appropriate offer, so they are not in a hurry to send Butler away. According to reporter Amick's report, sources revealed that Riley is not in a hurry. He is now very rational, not to make Butler uncomfortable, nor to insist on a win-or-die situation, but as a general manager, he thinks from the perspective of the Heat, he does not want to sell Butler at a low price. According to current trade rumors, the team most interested in obtaining Butler is the Suns. The Suns are in poor condition, paying the highest luxury tax in the league, but only ranking 12th in the West. The three giants team composed of Durant, Booker, and Beal has lost its cohesion. Now Beal has been demoted to a substitute, and he must have his own thoughts. The Suns management is not very honest, but there is no way because Beal has a veto right over trades. Once the two sides fall out, dealing with Beal is more difficult than dealing with Butler. According to news from the Suns side, if they obtain Butler, they are willing to offer him a contract worth 121millionover2yearsthissummer.Thissalaryishigherthanhiscurrentannualsalaryof121 million over 2 years this summer.

NBA regular season is in full swing, with fierce competition across the league. Many top teams in both the East and West are treading on thin ice, each facing their own challenges! For example, the Suns in the West, despite having superstars like Durant, Booker, and Beal, have been pushed to the brink of the play-in tournament. In response, the team has resorted to placing their 50millionstarBealand50 million star Beal and 50millionstarBealand10 million star Nurkic on the bench. Similarly, in the East, the 76ers have assembled a formidable trio of Embiid, George, and Maxey to contend for the championship, but they have been plagued by injuries and struggles to gel as a unit. Consequently, they have been wandering around the edges of the play-in tournament. The situations for both the Suns and the 76ers are far from optimistic, with injuries being the primary culprit. However, there is another team in the league that is riddled with danger, where "those who do evil will eventually suffer the consequences"! I am referring to the Miami Heat! The Heat is known as the "sweatshop of dreams" in the NBA. In Pat Riley's eyes, as long as you have aspirations, are willing to pour your blood and sweat, and can endure the rigorous training at the Heat, you can establish yourself in the league! Over the years, we have witnessed numerous undrafted players make a name for themselves at the Heat and secure lucrative contracts, which is a testament to Riley's remarkable ability to turn potential into tangible success! Especially during the Butler era,…
