"The edge of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold." Perhaps, this sentence is the most appropriate to describe Ingram . From the "Los Angeles Son of Tomorrow" to the current "Orleans Thigh" Ingram has put in a lot of efforts, and his efforts have not been in vain. He has also made his team more perfect... .
As we all know, after Durant applied for a trade, two-thirds of the league's teams went to great lengths to get him. The Nets are now enjoying such a condescending feeling as if nothing is wrong.
According to the latest report from the well-known foreign media "NBA Retweet": " The Brooklyn Nets made an offer to the Orleans Pelicans, Kevin Durant in exchange for Brandon Ingram, Xiaola Linans and draft picks." In a follow-up report, the draft picks included four first-round picks.
Nets general manager Sean Marks and Pelicans general manager David Griffin met in Las Vegas, and the two sides are seriously discussing Durant.
The biggest problem for both sides currently is about the four first-round picks. The Pelicans believe that four draft picks will cause the Pelicans to overdraw their future. It is okay to pursue Durant, but Durant's arrival does not necessarily mean that the championship will belong to the Pelicans.
"However, the Pelicans seem to be very interested in acquiring Durant. Otherwise they would not choose to pursue the superstar after experiencing a successful season." NBA reporter Jack Fishcer said. If Durant goes to the Pelicans, the "Big Three" composed of Durant + Zion + McCollum will be enough to change the initial pattern of the league and put the team into the championship ranks.
Pelicans head coach, Willie Green has proven that he has excellent on-the-spot coaching ability this season. His coaching ability may make Durant play more relaxed. In addition, the team also has a team manager like David Griffin who is good at getting along with stars, which will allow the team to quickly develop some winning culture.
However, is it worth it for the Pelicans to send away Ingram + Larry Nance ? The answer is yes. Although Ingram has played well in this season's series, he has not yet reached the level of Durant. We often call Ingram a little Durant, but in fact, Ingram's offensive ability is still far from Durant's level. Although there is an element of gambling involved in sending away a potential player, getting Durant means that the Pelicans are qualified to compete for the championship. As a team that joined after 2000, the Pelicans are in this long-running team. In the history of the NBA, there is no legend about oneself.
After McCollum is fully integrated into the Pelicans, if Durant can join, CJ will become Durant's most powerful second-in-command. Zion has absolute talent, but after not playing for a long time, We have no way of knowing how the competitive level will be maintained.
and go to a talented team and lead them to win the championship, Durant will also prove himself. Durant's original intention of leaving the Nets was also very simple, just to prove that he could still win the championship without the Warriors.
I think that if Durant can go to the Pelicans, the Pelicans can at least enter the Western Conference Finals. Maybe they can also have an arm wrestling match with the Warriors, and it is very possible to recreate the heyday of the heroic battle. What do you think?
