Welcome to the NBA Hater report: The breakdown of some players, teams and trends around the league really causes your anger. If you are not a fellow pessimist, be careful.
Negative Revron?
It is difficult to hate a 40 -year -old player, one of the two players in the league of at least 23 points, nine assists, and seven rebound leagues. 5 seeds of Western Conference to participate in play on Tuesday.
Yes, we are talking about Leblon James, an all -star starter for 20 consecutive seasons, and the Lakers who keep their heads on the water, even if they do bad things (Sub.500) 16-2 for opponents.
Nevertheless, LeBron’s ledger probably has one number of more than any other number: minus-2.7. In other words, Lakers means that LeBron has lost his book on the coat with an average of 2.7 points per game this season.
This is the third time in James’s career that he did not lead his team to a positive point difference in his minutes. It happened with Lakers from 2021 to 22. Lakers won only 33 games while adopting the worst version of Washed Carmeloan Sony and Russell Westbrook. In that season, LeBron appeared in a lineup, alongside Anthony Davis, who played more than 100 property together for each glass cleaning.
Before that, the 35 wins must go back to Lebron’s rookie year, who finished the season with a difference of minus 144 points in LeBron’s minutes. It was a miracle of basketball that LeBron did what he did on the team as a rookie. He ended the top 10 with MVP voting as a loud teenager. The difference between this negative point is that this conversation is not doing business.
Point differential always requires a context that opposes the lineup. However, for the 20th season of the past 21 seasons, James has been able to raise his team to (usually extreme) (usually extreme), regardless of who he agreed with or against. 。 If he was in court, his team was winning.
However, on Tuesday, Lakers lost 110 points by 1,430 minutes this season. During the time other than Garbage, it appears in minus 3.7 for each 100 property. Two of the three lineups of LeBron recorded at least 100 property are negative units. Lakers have lost their LeBron minutes, even if they are lined up with Davis.
Does this mean that LeBron is a negative player? Of course it is different. That means at least, at the moment he is no longer a guaranteed link to the surplus of the scoreboard, but still has a surprisingly visible box score number. For the Lakers team, I want to deceive myself to the idea that “one player is separated” because of LeBron James.
The Lakers’ trade deadline is defined in one question, and some candidates may make everyone happy.
Sam Quinin
In the NBA, honest players must be contracted. After trading with him at the deadline in February, in the summer of 2019, Sixers signed a $ 18 billion of $ 18 billion in five years.
Harris was far from a great player for Six, and he frequently disappeared in Six’s most needs and did not grow as a player. He was very similar to seeing the paint dry. He did the same thing over and over again that he had almost never matched the numbers in his tolerated box scores.
Still, he was not a bad player. He was just worse than the contract. Take us to Paul George and bring us in the season we are currently having for the miserable Philadelphia 76ers.
George, which is more than 30 games with Sixers, is out of this week due to another injury (he will pack pinky on Saturday and will not play against Lakers), an average of 17.1 points with 42 % shooting. I am doing it. % From 3. It’s waiting for George’s numbers to be waiting for it … Tobias Harris.
Is it a trip or what? These numbers are almost the same. Anyone who can deceive numbers and know anything about basketball, knows that Paul George is a better player than Tobias Harris, but people should look at this. ! George turned 35 in May this year, earning $ 49.2 million this season. It will be $ 51.6 million next year, and the following year will be $ 541 million. It is very realistic that Sixers will pay 38 -year -old George $ 56.6 million in 2028. Is it 17 points for each game?
Saving all this story about how George’s reliable player was signed, and without Joel Enbide, it would be impossible to evaluate his production properly. He earns $ 49 million. He got 20.6 points on average with a 3 -point shot of 44.7 % in 10 games in January, so he recently got 20.6 points, so do you want me to be excited? Yes, that’s right. Harris had enough stretching in the age of Six.
Last December, he shot three to 42 %. Two years ago, he was sensational with the first round of the Internet play -off sweep. During that season, he was approaching 50-40-90 scorers in 26 games in February and March. Don’t behave as Harris was not a good player.
He is not enough for the contract, and so far, not for George. There is no nearby. Unless you are a world -class RIM protector, a bank that exceeds $ 200 million is robbery to get less than 20 points in more than two -thirds of the first 30 games in Star Productions.
And if you think about it, this should be the best George for Philadelphia. He only gets older from here, and the contract only gets worse. George had the content that the front end of this transaction could be a valuable signature and had to repay most at the front end of this transaction. If you are a lucky 17-27 team to postpone the play-in tournament, the mathematics is even worse than you expected.
Two more negative notes …
Warriors are not one player. Just give up, people. The team competed for titles and probably playoffs. There is no trade there, and transactions that can be executed on the way, or certainly paralyzed front offices, interference, and proud owners will actually go on the way. 。 On the other hand, even if the court has a Steph Curry, you can count the individual advantages created by this attack in a specific game. The system is old news. The curry was just scoreless in the latter half of the defeat to the Golden State Lakers. The Golden State has lost seven out of the past 11 games, and since the start of 12-3, Warriors have the fifth league attack and the eighth defense. it’s over.
Hawks are stuck on average: Hawks has many reasons for optimism. TRAE YOUNG leads the league as an assist. Dyson Daniels will provide all the first team defense. Jalen Johnson will be an all -star in the near future. DEANDRE HUNTER is spending his career year. Of the East team, only Celtics and Cavaliers have won more games to the opponents above than the 12 Hawks, which matches the number of knicks. Nevertheless, Atlanta has a record of 22-24 here. This team is stuck on average. They have been .500 teams since the Eastern Conference Final Run in 2021, giving and taking some games. Quinn Saider. Nate Mcummillan. Regardless of DejOUNTE MURRAY. it doesn’t matter. There is something in DNA. And it is not a gene of victory.
