The new version of the garbage brothers? Averaged 38+7 per game! The team had 1 win and 3 losses. The Kings spent a lot of money and did stupid things.

On October 29, although the regular season started not long ago, the competition in the Western Conference can be said to have started from the first game. In the Western Conference, which teams have the opportunity to enter the playoffs and which teams have the ability to compete for the championship can basically be judged now. For now, the Thunder, Nuggets and Warriors are the favorite teams to compete for the championship. The Spurs, Rockets, Clippers, Lakers, Timberwolves and Grizzlies will be the teams competing for the playoffs.

As for other teams, there is a high probability that they will be outside the play-offs, such as the Mavericks and Kings. These two teams are very strong on paper and were favored during the offseason, but they have been unable to produce a record. The Mavericks are now second to last in the Western Conference. Their poor record is due to the lack of suitable point guards. In addition, Kidd has been trying the five majors, and the team's chemical reaction is also very bad. If they continue to play in their current situation, I don't think the Mavericks can enter the play-offs.

The Kings currently have 1 win and 3 losses, third from the bottom in the Western Conference, and the team's record is the same as the Mavericks. To be honest, it's understandable that the Mavericks have a poor record. After all, Irving is absent and the core of the Kings are very healthy. Moreover, they also introduced two well-known players in Schroeder and Westbrook during the offseason. It seems that they are stronger on paper. However, the result is that they can't produce a record. To be honest, the opponents the team has encountered in the regular season are not strong, but they just can't win.

In the first game of the season, they faced Booker's single-core Suns. The team had a big lead, but was upset. In the second game against the Jazz, the Kings finally won, but only by one point. In the third game against the Lakers, Doncic and James were absent, but they were defeated by Xiaoli alone. Today they played against the Thunder, facing the Thunder with both Chet and Jaywe missing, but they were overturned by their opponents in the final quarter.

The Kings are a completely bad team. The management has always wanted to reach the playoffs, so they are not willing to spend money. The team's total salary this season is as high as 210 million, ranking seventh in the league. As a result, the record and expenditure are completely disproportionate. I think the reason why they have this problem is from two aspects. The first is the limited ability of the head coach. Christie's coaching career may be over after playing 20 games.

The second is the players. To be honest, it is difficult for a lineup with DeRozan, LaVine and Savoy as the core to succeed. None of the three of them have the ability to be the boss, and more importantly, DeRozan and LaVine occupy a large number of Having the ball does not lead the team to win. The Bulls built a team around them back then, but the competition in the Eastern Conference was so small that they were only a play-off team, let alone a team in the Western Conference. These two are simply the new version of trash brothers. DeRozan still cannot get rid of this name.

DeRozan has averaged 19 points, 4 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.8 steals per game since the start of the season. His mid-range shooting is still great, but he still has no three-point ability. He is now 36 years old. Although he can still play in the league with his skills, He is no longer able to teach the team how to win like other veteran cores. During the offseason, the Kings thought about giving up on him, but the trade was not ideal. There were few teams interested in him. After all, he could not help the team win even if he scored high points.

LaVine has averaged 29 points, 3 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game since the start of the season, shooting 52% from the field and 41% from the three-point range. LaVine's shooting efficiency is indeed excellent, and his scoring ability is also top-notch, but Everyone should have discovered that LaVine's high scoring cannot help the team win. He can score points in normal times, but his scoring is not stable at the last moment, and his role on the defensive end is not great. This also leads to him being on the court and even losing points in many cases.

The two can average 38 points per game, but they are both pure scorers and cannot drive the team's offense. The current backcourt is either an offense and a pass, or an offense and defense. Only such a core can lead the team to win. Booker was also a pure scorer in the past, and everyone has seen the results of his leadership. Now Booker's transformation into a ball-handling core has achieved certain results, so cores like LaVine and DeRozan are not suitable for being the leader, but more suitable for being the second or third leader.

The Kings team has been doing this kind of stupid thing. They don't want to bring in top stars, but have been bringing in some second-rate stars, and even treat them as treasures. This was a problem they had when Fox was on the team. After the team introduced LaVine last season, the failure of the three-core team they formed has shown that they do not have the conditions to win in the Western Conference. Under such circumstances, the Kings still chose to believe in them during the offseason.

And now the team has given Schroeder a sizable contract. Dealing with these contracts in the future will also be a problem. However, Westbrook has suffered a lot and finally developed a three-point shooting. As a result, he may not be able to lead the team to the playoffs this season. To be honest, their dual-core star quality in the backcourt is not as good as Westbrook. It would be a waste to let Savoy give the ball to them. Having said that, what do you want to say about the current king? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
