The NBA regular season has reached its mid-point, and many teams in the league are considering trades. The Heat and Pacers have already made a 1-for-1 trade, with the Heat sending Thomas Bryant to the Pacers in exchange for a future second-round draft pick swap. This move aims to free up a roster spot for potential future trades and to convert two-way contracts into official ones. The Heat has been very active in the trade market recently, even openly stating that they would consider trading their star player, Butler. Last season, the Heat's performance was average, with Butler getting older, suffering from injuries, and his average stats gradually declining. There has been no repeat of last year's playoff upset against the Bucks. To ensure better future development for the team, Butler might really be traded away. Similarly, several top teams are particularly active in the trade market, eager to make significant adjustments to their rosters, with the Los Angeles Lakers being one such team. The Lakers started the season well but faltered as the schedule progressed. James, at 40 years old, is not as capable as he once was, and Davis' dominance in the paint is inconsistent. Crucially, the Lakers' role players are significantly inferior when compared to other strong teams. As a Western Conference scout said, if Reeves can be considered the Lakers' third-best player, it will be difficult for them to compete for the championship. Recently, the Lakers have also been looking for a star player to help them out. They have inquired about the cost of acquiring…

The game between the Warriors and the Lakers was a thrilling encounter that lived up to everyone's expectations. It was a nail-biter that went down to the wire before a winner was decided. Both in terms of the viewing experience and the course of the game, it was a top-notch visual feast. So, from the perspective of the Warriors, what are the key points to analyze? A disgraceful defeat, who should be held responsible for the Warriors' loss? The data provides the answer, and it also reflects the best of the game's progression. Curry is rated SS-class while Kerr is B-class. For the Warriors, this was a disgraceful defeat. Some might say, "They only lost by 2 points, how can it be considered a disgraceful defeat?" It wasn't a crushing defeat. The reason it's called a disgraceful defeat is mainly because Curry's best performance in the year-end battle was wasted. Curry repeatedly brought the game back into suspense, but he couldn't stop the Lakers from responding and scoring. From this perspective, it's naturally disgraceful. So, the question arises, who should be held accountable for the Warriors losing this game? The data is the answer, and it's also the best reflection of the game's progression. The first person is Kuminga. Kuminga now plays with only recklessness left. It's not wrong for the young man to be confident, but sometimes it's misplaced. Kuminga shot 10 times and only made 4 shots, scoring 14 points and 6 rebounds, with a team-worst plus-minus of -17. It must be said that Kuminga is sometimes beyond…

According to the latest report by Shams Charania, a journalist from ESPN, the Golden State Warriors are actively seeking suitable trade partners in an effort to acquire an All-Star level partner for Stephen Curry before the trade deadline this season. The Warriors are determined to enhance their team strength. Why do I say that? Think about it, Curry is such an excellent player, but basketball is a team sport, and it's not enough to rely on just one person. It's like the basketball team in our neighborhood; there's a young man with exceptional skills, but every time they play, he's the only one performing well while his teammates don't contribute much, so the results don't improve. That's why the Golden State Warriors want to find a good helper for Curry, an All-Star level partner, which will make the team stronger and increase their chances of winning the championship. According to BR, Charania said on yesterday's "Today's NBA" program: "I've learned that the Warriors are actively looking for a star, an organizer, a scorer, someone who can play alongside Stephen Curry." This is quite normal for the Warriors to want to find a star who can partner with Curry. Think about it, a team wants to achieve good results, it can't rely on just one star. It's like our CBA's Guangdong team; Yi Jianlian was very strong when he was there, but the team also looked for other capable players to help, so that the team could be more competitive. The Warriors probably think the same way, wanting to find a…

Recently, the situation of the Golden State Warriors has been quite confusing, with the team's performance akin to a ship sailing through a storm, unsure of its direction. Once, the thought of the Splash Brothers dominating the league could ignite passion in one's heart. Back then, the Warriors played basketball as if it were a video game, with every move on the court filled with imagination and creativity, truly representing a school of play in the NBA. However, nowadays, the state of the Warriors is like a hardcore action movie suddenly turning into an art film, with a plot so slow it makes you drowsy. Especially in recent games, the Warriors' performance has been quite worrying. Take the game against the Grizzlies, for example; the Warriors' crushing defeat could serve as a textbook example, with a 51-point gap - can you believe it? This wasn't a drill; it was a real match! Throughout the process, the Warriors were like being pinned down by the Grizzlies, lacking any spirit. Both offensively and defensively, there were significant issues; the offense was like picking up a rusty weapon that couldn't break through no matter how hard they tried; defensively, there were gaping holes, with the Grizzlies' inside play virtually unimpeded, and rebounds were lost in a mess, essentially giving the opponent a gift of points. And the root of all this lies with the team's coach, Steve Kerr. Kerr once led the Warriors to break countless records and win three championship trophies, becoming a legendary figure in Golden State. Recently, however, his coaching…

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…
