With the Mavericks losing to the Clippers 111-126 on the road, the first round of the NBA's playoffs this year is all over. Fans have been disappointed by the exits of many teams, such as the Lakers, Trail Blazers, and more.
For the teams that are out in the first round, some major personnel adjustments will definitely be made in the off-season. This article will take stock of these players who may be traded after being out in the first round!
No.5: LakersKyle Kuzma
Many fans would say that the Lakers would be traded for Schroder, but Schroder's contract expires after the season and will become a free agent , Leaving the Lakers will not be a trade, the remaining players are most likely to be traded is Kuzma!
The Lakers and Kuzma signed a three-year, $40 million deal after winning last season. Many fans said that Kuzma was already very cheap at the time, but Kuzma's performance this season proves that he is indeed worth the price!
In the regular season, Kuzma averaged 12.9 points, 6.2 rebounds 1.9 assists , and his performance was not bad.But under the intensity of the playoffs, Kuzma pulled his hips, averaging only 6.3 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game. The shooting percentage was only 29.2%, and the three-pointer shooting percentage was 17.4%. data Compared with the regular season, is almost halved!
And as the defending champion, the Lakers will definitely make large-scale changes to the lineup. Ku Zma is one of the players with trading value at present, and he is likely to leave in the off-season!
No. 4: Heat Taylor Herro
To be honest, Herro may have been one of the most disappointing players of the season, regular season or playoffs!
Tyro was a blockbuster in the playoffs last season. He averaged 16 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game in the playoffs. He also had 30+ performances in a single game, letting the world know about this first-year rookie!
In the off-season Harden broke out the trade rumors, and there was a rumor of a deal using Dunlo + Taylor as the main body, but Riley was reluctant to sell Taylor, and the final deal fell through. Many fans even feel that Taylor's potential is very great, and not trading is the right choice.
In the regular season, Hero averaged 15 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game, and his growth did not meet the expectations of fans. In the playoffs, Herro stretched his hips even more, averaging only 9.2 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 1.8 assists per game. His shooting percentage was only 31.6%, and his three-point shooting percentage was also 31.6%. He was one of the worst players in the Heat!
The first round of the playoffs was swept away, and the Heat's off-season personnel adjustment was also very large. point guard is the problem that needs to be solved.And Hero is still a bit of trading value at present, and the offseason may be one of the main trading chips!
No.3: Blazers CJ-McCollum
If you are a Blazers fan, you must have scolded McCollum long ago in this series, and if you are a passerby fan who watched the game, then you I will also think that McCollum's playing is really a dish!
As the second leader of the Trail Blazers, McCollum averaged only 20.7 points, 6 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game, while shooting only 43.9% from the field and 33% from three-pointers! McCollum made a total of 82 shots in the next 4 games, but struck 49 times ! In the battle of Tianwangshan , there was a fatal mistake at the last moment, and the two overtime games did not score a point!
Although McCollum's regular season performance was not bad, except for G7 in 2019, the rest of the playoffs were which performed quite well!
Looking at the high-level data, McCollum's true shooting percentage is only 51.8, 11th in the team; PER is only 12.7; WS/48 minutes is only 0.006, 9th in the team; BPM-3.3, VOPR is - 0.1, these data are in the bottom three in the team!
Although Lillard said that he wanted to stay with the Blazers, the Blazers have not made much progress in recent years. After being eliminated, they fired Stotts. Many teams are closely following Lillard's movements.And the news also said that Lillard is watching the team's offseason operations, presumably the Blazers must reconfigure Lillard to be a second-in-command!
It is a foregone conclusion that McCollum is traded. I feel that the exchange of George and McCollum will be a win-win deal, depending on how far the Clippers can go this season!
Second place: Celtics Kemba Walker
A few days ago, I checked the 5 junk contracts in the first round of the playoffs, and Walker topped the list!
Walker actually performed well during the Hornets period, but after signing the max contract with the Celtics, it began to decline.
Last season's playoffs tended to stretch his hips, averaging 19.4 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 5.1 assists per game. This season's Walker has gotten even worse! In the regular season, he averaged 19.3 points, 4 rebounds, and 4.9 assists per game. In the playoffs, he averaged only 12.7 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists per game. The shooting percentage was only 31.7%, and the three-point shooting percentage was only 17.6%. The true shooting percentage was 41.6%. !
In terms of high-level data, the offensive efficiency of the Walker series is only 87. As a starting point guard, this is already a historically poor performance! The other PERs are only 4.2, BPM-9.0, and VOPR is -0.2, all of which are the bottom of the team!
At present, Walker is already an outright rubbish contract, and the contract has two years left at $72 million, which is negative equity! The Celtics are desperate to get rid of his contract, and don't know if they can trade it out in the offseason. With the Mavericks losing to the Clippers 111-126 on the road, the first round of the NBA's playoffs this year is all over.

At present, Walker is already an outright rubbish contract, and the contract has two years left at $72 million, which is negative equity! The Celtics are desperate to get rid of his contract, and don't know if they can trade it out in the offseason. but,Walker is hard to trade without a draft pick!
No. 1: Mavericks Kristaps Porzingis
Porzingis' playoff performance was a love-hate affair!
As long as the Mavericks fans have eaten Porzingis, they will have their thoughts, but the Clippers fans really like Porzingis' performance. As long as he is on the court, the Clippers fans will be more at ease! This is similar to how Westbrook was treated in the eyes of the Lakers last season!
In fact, when Porzingis was renewing with a maximum salary, many fans said: Porzingis is a glass man, and the risk of giving a maximum salary contract is too great, and it may become a garbage contract later ! And Porzingis did not disappoint these fans, and it turned out to be a rubbish contract!
This season, Porzingis only played 43 games in the regular season. Although he played 6 games in the playoffs, he averaged only 13 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game! As an insider, Porzingis' shooting percentage is only 47.2%, his three-point shooting percentage is only 29.6%, and his true shooting percentage is only 57.2%!
And Porzingis' PER is only 14.9, BPM is only 0.3, and VOPR is only 0.1. These high-level data can only rank in the bottom three among the main rotation players!
And, as an inside player, Porzingis was pushed out of the three-second zone in a few strokes against Reggie Jackson, who was much shorter than himself. Moreover, he was 2.2 meters tall, averaged only 5 rebounds per game, and had zero rim protection. !
There are still three years and $102 million in Porzingis' contract. It is difficult to get rid of it at present. The previous wave god has become a pit god! But if you don't trade him, the Lone Ranger has no future, and maybe he will force Doncic away!
Of course, these players just might be traded,But players like Porzingis and Walker are negative assets, and they are very difficult to trade. I don’t know if they can be dealt with in the offseason!
