The 3-time rebounding champion will be on the shelf! The management is so bad, they will send away everyone they can and leave a group of fake stars.

Basketball

On November 11, there was a lot of news worthy of attention from the league today. For example, the Grizzlies have considered trading Morant. Their asking price for Morant is several first-round picks, young players or stars who can bring attendance to the team. The owner of the Mavericks has been completely disappointed with the team's general manager Harrison. It may only be a matter of time before the team lays him off. He may be disposed of in the middle of the season. It is estimated that many fans have already guessed the current situation of the Mavericks and Grizzlies.

But the most surprising thing should be the Kings. Today, according to the famous reporter Evan, multiple team executives revealed that the Kings will soon put Sabonis on the shelf. This season, the Kings no longer use Sabonis as the core of the team's offense. His average assists per game have reached a new low in the past seven years. The team's current record is only 3 wins and 7 losses, and it is currently ranked 13th in the Western Conference. You must know that their salary this season is as high as 210 million, ranking seventh in the league. The team has spent so many years and achieved such a poor record, which is indeed unsatisfactory.

But it is unreasonable for Savoy to be the player who takes the blame. This season, Savoy averaged 15.3 points, 14 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.1 steals per game. His shooting percentage was 47.7%, and his points and assists were both lowest in the past seven years. The reasons for Sasha's poor performance are, on the one hand, what I just mentioned, he is no longer the core of the team. Now the core of the team is LaVine. In addition, after the introduction of Schroeder, he will serve as an organizer, so Sacho's role in scoring and connecting the team has been reduced, leading to a decline in data.

In addition, Savoy has been troubled by injuries this season. In yesterday's game against the Timberwolves, Savoy returned early from injury. He also did it for the sake of record. However, during the game, when Sasha was substituted, he clutched his ribs and his expression was very painful. It was obvious that he had not recovered from the injury. Under such circumstances, it is understandable that his performance was not good. Sasha is still very good at protecting rebounds. He ranks first in the league in rebounds per game this season. He has been the league's rebounding leader in the past three years.

In the past few years, Savoy can be said to be the best ball-handling center in the league besides Jokic. In the 23-24 season, when the Kings built the team with him as the absolute core, he averaged 19.4 points, 13.7 rebounds and 8.2 assists per game. According to reports, Sasha is the player with the most double-doubles and triple-doubles in the league this season, which is enough to show how good he is. Moreover, Sasha is only 29 years old and at his peak. If the Kings want to give up on him, I have to say that the management of this team is really bad.

The operation of the Kings over the past few years can be described as a disaster. In 2018, they had a chance to win Doncic. As a result, Divac, then the team's general manager, did not trust the Slovenian player and chose Bagley. As a result, Bagley Gurley has long since been given up by the Kings and has now become a fringe rotation player in the league, while Doncic is a top star. They selected Haliburton in 2020. At that time, Harry did not have enough ball rights and played the level of a top organizer, and his shooting efficiency was also excellent.

The team traded him for Savoy. Although the deal is now more profitable for the Pacers, Sasha also helped the Kings reach the playoffs, which is not bad. After that, the Kings' operations became even more eye-catching. The team sent away Barnes in exchange for DeRozan, and traded Fox for LaVine. This deal can be said to be the worst. Although Fox wanted to leave the team, they could have exchanged for better players instead of data brushes like LaVine.

In this season, the team won Schroeder and Westbrook. Westbrook is indeed good, but he doesn't have much gas left in the tank. Schroeder is more suitable to play as the sixth man. After all, the defense is too poor and he can't be valuable when he doesn't have the ball. As a result, the Kings put him in the starting lineup to play point guard, and Sasha was weakened. Isn't this worth the loss? Westbrook originally performed very well, but was abandoned again recently against the Timberwolves. Their coach's abilities are also very limited.

If the team sends Savoy away, Savoy will probably be very happy. This team has no future at all. The team now regards LaVine as the first core and DeRozan as the second core. These two are former Bulls stars. The King helped the Bulls complete Rebuilding, and everyone knows that the data of these two players cannot show their impact on the team. They can't win games even if they score high points. They are both second-tier players. They were unable to lead the Bulls to success in the weak Eastern Conference, let alone the Western Conference.

Fox, Sabonis and Barnes were the players who helped the Kings reach the playoffs. They also led the team to the Western Conference playoffs. As a result, Fox is gone, so is Barnes, and Sasha is fast. Keeping LaVine, DeRozan and Schroeder is trying to mess things up, right? How can a group of fake stars lead the team to success, let alone in the Western Conference? Speaking of which, what do you want to say about the current Kings? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
