Burst! 13 years late? Sao Paulo finally

This season's NBA has reached the stage of division finals, which means that only four teams are still working hard for the championship dream, and most NBA teams have already started the off-season period.

The off-season is a player's holiday. For the team management, it is just beginning to work. They should carefully consider the choice of the lineup, who will renew the contract, who will give up, who will trade, who will buy out.

In addition, the team manager and coach should also think about who to choose in the draft conference. If they don't have the draft right, they should buy a second round signing to participate in it - provided that the new head coach has been determined, and don't vacillate like the Lakers.

This year's NBA is also a year of renewal. Traffic responsibilities such as the Lakers and Suns, James and Durant have been eliminated in the first round, and Warriors and Curry have not even entered the playoffs. In the division finals, there were Doncic, 25, Tatum, 26, Edwards, 22, and Halliburton, 24.

The old men gave up the stage, which was really regrettable.

In fact, in addition to giving up the playoff stage, the old men have a more sad thing: start wandering.

The Warriors are under great pressure to adjust their lineup. In the past two seasons, they have been overwhelmed by the competition between "meritorious factions" such as Curry, Thompson and Green and "successors" such as Cumminga, Poole, Bojamsky and Moody.

This season's disastrous exit has pushed this contradiction to the point where it cannot be adjusted. The trend of rejuvenation is irreversible. Curry is definitely unable to move. Green is very difficult to move. Thompson is the most likely to move.

But unexpectedly, the first passive person may be Paul, who is new here.

At the end of this season, the Warriors all seemed to want to keep Paul.

Coach Cole said that Paul made sacrifices this season without complaining, "I hope to continue coaching him next year".

The general manager of Warriors, Dunleavy Jr., expressed his gratitude for Paul's contribution to the team. "We are interested in letting him stay".

Even Paul himself said that he was open to contract renewal and it was fun to fight with the Warriors' players. On May 6, the Warrior officially sent a message to wish Paul a happy 39th birthday.

I wonder if the "39" on the blessing reminds the warrior. Yes, Paul is 39 years old. Is this old and short guard really in the team's future plan?

Today, things turned around: NBA reporter Eric Pincus reported that Paul was "very likely" to join the Lakers.

"If I don't mention the possibility of Paul, it's too careless. He may be abandoned by the Warriors. Paul and James are very close, and it's a possibility for the Lakers to sign Paul," added Eric Pincus.

It is understood that Paul has a team option worth 30 million dollars next season. The Warriors need to announce the implementation of this option before June 29 before Paul can stay, otherwise he will automatically become a completely free player.

So far, the Warriors have not implemented this option, and Paul does not urge.

Such news can not help but remind us of a past event: in 2011, the Lakers, the Hornets and the Rockets reached a three-way deal, the Lakers got Paul and Okafu, the Hornets got Odom, Kevin Martin, Scola, Dragic and the draft rights, and the Rockets got Pau Gasol.

If this trade can be carried out, Paul, who has teamed up with Kobe Bryant, might have won the NBA championship long ago, instead of turning around Thunder, Rockets, Suns and Warriors.

As a result, the trade was stopped by the NBA official for "basketball reasons", and Paul and Kobe passed by.

Unconsciously, 13 years later, Kobe Bryant is even gone. Paul has the opportunity to renew his relationship with the Lakers at this time. It's really funny.

NBA is a small society. As far as you can imagine, almost all the mistakes and helplessness can be seen here. Life is like a dream!
