In this summer's trading market, the Nets are undoubtedly the most watched team. Because the boss Tsai Chongxin put the boss Durant and the second boss Irving on the shelves. They also caused a huge sensation in the trading market, and many teams in the league inquired about the price. Nowadays, the Lakers are the most heatedly discussing Irving's whereabouts. So is Irving really suitable for and Lao James ? Comparing the winning percentage with and without Lao Zhan, the gap is larger than expected.
Irving's career has gone through several stages. In the early days, he led the team with a single core, but his results were not outstanding. After that, he partnered with and James , and finally made a name for himself. Later, he was not satisfied with playing a supporting role and wanted to lead the team himself and become the boss. He has played for the Celtics and Nets for several years, and his personal performance is also remarkable.
Regular season comparison
In the absence of James, Irving basically plays the role of the team boss. He has unlimited firing rights . From Cavaliers to Celtics to Nets, there is no shortage of balls. rights and opportunities. Without Lao James, Irving played a total of 428 regular season games, winning 204 games and losing 224 games. The team's winning rate was 47.6%, which is obviously not a good data. His partner Lao Zhan played 183 regular season games and achieved a record of 132 wins and 51 losses, with a winning rate of 72.1%, which is undoubtedly a top performance.
Playoffs comparison
In addition to the regular season, the comparison in the playoffs is also critical. After leaving the Cavaliers, Irving played for strong teams. The Celtics and Nets were also favorites to compete for the championship. However, his results were not ideal. He made it to the playoffs 4 times and played a total of 22 games. He only achieved 11 wins and 11 losses, with a winning rate of barely 50%. When partnering with James, Irving played 52 playoff games and achieved a record of 39 wins and 13 losses, with a winning rate of 75%. Not only did they make the playoffs every year, they also won a championship.
It can be seen that when Irving did not have Lao James, his winning rate in the regular season was 47% and his winning rate in the playoffs was 50%. When there was Lao Zhan, his winning rate in the regular season was 72% and his winning rate in the playoffs was 75%. The gap is very big. Lao Zhan has strong team leadership ability and is also a perfect organizer who can maximize Irving's ability to attack tough situations. While Irving is a thorn in the side, James is a good leader and can also make up for his shortcomings. Therefore, Irving is a good fit for James, and this deal is worth looking forward to. After talking about whether
is suitable, let’s take a look at the actual situation. Irving has the last year left on his contract, and he is determined to leave the team, which has also led to a decline in transaction value. If Irving is sent away now, some draft picks can be exchanged. If you wait until next summer, you will lose Irving in vain. In addition, Irving is not doing well in the market. The Lakers' and Westbrook are a good choice. Because Westbrook's contract is only for one year, after the Nets exchange it back, they can get the draft picks and free up space next year. One is a thorn and the other is a hot potato. Swapping is a good choice. The problem is how to negotiate for additional ones.
