The only team in the 21st century that selected three All-Star backcourts! Now recruiting point guards, it really deserves to be rebuilt

On June 15, a lot of news worth paying attention to in the league today. For example, Aquaman Adams signed a three-year, 39 million contract with the Rockets. In terms of his ability, he deserves such a big contract. The Rockets also demonstrated their determination. With the team having Xiao Jia and Shin Kyung, they resolutely left Aquaman. This is what a team that wants to win should do. Some teams often feel that they have too many talents in the same position, so they do subtraction, and the result is counterproductive.

The most impressive example is the Kings. When the Kings won Halliburton through the draft, Halliburton showed the potential of a top organizer in the rookie season, and they played very steadily on the offensive end, but the Kings did not give him enough patience to train him. They even felt that the team had Fox, so they chose to trade to send Halliburton away, which eventually led to the rise of the Pacers. The Kings team had many opportunities to complete the rise, but they all missed it.

Let's dial the time to the 2011 draft. The Kings won Isaiah Thomas with the 30th pick in the second round. In the rookie season, Thomas became the team's main rotation. He was the team's sixth substitute. Later, he relied on his outstanding performance to become the team's starting point guard. In the rookie season, he averaged 11+4 per game. The outside world also praised the Kings. They picked up a treasure with the second round pick.

In the third year of his career, Thomas Jr. had already firmly played as the core of the team, averaging 20 points and 6 assists throughout the season. Relying on his outstanding performance, he thought the Kings would give him a big contract renewal, but unexpectedly, the Kings sent him directly to the Suns, and then the Suns traded him to the Celtics. Many fans have probably heard of the story after joining the Celtics. Xiao Tuomas Jr. became an All-Star in the Celtics, won the title of 175 on the surface, and also led the team to the Eastern Conference Finals.

After Thomas Jr. left, the Kings started reconstruction. They won Fox with the 5th pick in the first round in 2017. At that time, Fox showed speed and explosiveness comparable to Westbrook. Westbrook's sudden success this season also won the regular season MVP, so the Kings treated him as the cornerstone of the next king. Although Fox performed well in the first two years of his career, he realized his talent in the third year of his career and averaged 20+6 per game.

This season is the 19-20 season, and the Kings won Halliburton through the draft in the offseason. However, seeing the rise of Fox, the Kings had no intention of cultivating other young players. Even though Halliburton averaged 13 points, 3 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.3 steals per game in the rookie season, the Kings management did not look at him at first. In the second year of his career, Halliburton was traded to the Pacers in exchange for Sa.

After Fox stayed in the team, he cooperated with Sa Sak. In the 22-23 season, the Kings successfully entered the playoffs with the third place in the West. When everyone thought the Kings were about to rise, they were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs. Everyone has seen their status in the past two years. The Kings can't even make it to the playoffs. Fox was also discouraged when he saw the team's current situation. He refused to renew his contract with the Kings this season, and eventually forced the palace and was traded to the Spurs.

Recent news from the Kings is that they intend to introduce a point guard player who can cooperate for a long time in the offseason. What do you want to say after seeing this? The Kings selected three All-Star point guards in the 21st century, the only team that did it in the 21st century. Whether everyone says they are lucky or have real vision, one thing is certain is that this team is operating poorly. Even if one is left, they will not be like this now.

Today, the US media joked with the King: They should send Sabonis in exchange for Ball, Vucevic and Pavey. This sounds too much like a swearing person. After all, the Kings now have a name for the Western Bulls. They have recruited the two Bulls stars, Raven and DeRozan. The combination of these two is the same as the combination of Sabonis and Fox. Although they have led the team to the playoffs, they are only in the first round. Most of the time they are played-off teams.

The same is true this season. The team formed the Big Three, but was eliminated in the play-offs. To be honest, with the Kings' current lineup, they have no future at all. Everyone should have discovered their current star combination. The three of them are both second-in-command or third-in-command players. They have no leadership temperament and cannot lead the team forward as the star. If the current three cores are retained, they will not go far even if they introduce a suitable point guard. Look at the Suns this season is a good example.

It is difficult to win if you blindly form a grand formation. Only by finding a suitable lineup match can you have a chance. Obviously, these core members do not have the potential of the cornerstone. It is better to rebuild the team around them! Having said that, what do you want to say about the king now?
