In January, the Thunder and the Lakers fell behind in the West one after another and would definitely miss the playoffs.

In the preseason this season, Thunder star Durant suffered a fracture in his right metatarsal bone and did not return until December 3. In the game against the Warriors on December 19, Durant was injured again and chose conservative treatment, and the return time was uncertain.

Both the boss and the third brother were resting. Westbrook got a lot of ball rights and scored a peak personal data averaged 28 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 8.6 assists per game. The data was better than Durant for the first time in his career, and increased his popularity.

In fact, Wei Shao's scoring efficiency is not high, or very low. He averages 22 goals per game, with an overall shooting percentage of 42.6%, a mid-range shooting percentage of less than 40%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 29.9%. His scoring mainly relies on free throws, with 8.1 free throws averaging 9.8 free throws and 83.5% shooting percentage.

After this season, Jay Wei's desire for data will definitely reach a new level, and Durant can't suppress him when he comes back. In addition, the Thunder management has lost confidence in the inside Horford, and the only one waiting for the Thunder Third Young Master in the future is to disband.

The Thunder will not be able to rebuild. Durant wants to win the championship and the team does not win the championship. The possibility of his contract renewal in 2016 is almost zero. Horford also expires in 2016. He may be traded one year in advance, and it is difficult to exchange for a strong man.

The Thunder's inside line is the weakest in the league this year. The center is Kendrick Perkins, who has a high salary and low ability, averages 4 points and 5.5 rebounds per game. He can't do anything except fight against the penalty area.

The Lakers were also ruined by injuries and became the bottom team in the West.

Deron Williams performed well last season, and Lakers coach Byron Scott admired him very much.

When Scott appreciates anyone, he will definitely give him a lot of playing time, regardless of whether the opponent's body can withstand long-term games. For example, when Paul coached, he averaged about 38 minutes per game during the season. In the end, Paul was injured and he was fired. When coaching Marbury and Kidd, he also needed star point guards to play for a long time.

Delon's playing time increased from 33 minutes last season to 38 minutes, and was responsible for the main attack with the ball, which consumed a lot. He only played 15 games and had a serious sprain in his right ankle.

The disaster never came alone. Bosh was diagnosed with a lung thrombosis after 42 games and was reimbursed for the season.

He needs to be treated with blood thinners so that he cannot participate in the physical battle against fierce basketball games and a quit indefinitely. This is not an injury that can be avoided by changing a team. The Lakers are in trouble. The five-year contract will not expire until 2019.

Both inside and outside have stopped. The Lakers' top scorer against the inside is Nick Young, and the second-round rookie Clarkson is the second-round rookie. Is there any need to play? Scott can do what he is best at, and lead the team openly and confidently.

Not too surprised, this is Scott's last season with the Lakers.

The Lakers' internal and external troubles are not only on the court, but also on the management. After the death of Bass, Jim Bass became the president, but his position was unstable and was often forced to palace by his sister Jenny Bass.

The Lakers hold meetings every year to vote for the team chairman. Jenny Buss has been elected since 2013. She gave Jim Buss three years to return to the championship ranks. If Jim can't do it, Jenny will be supported by the board of directors in the future and take power to the Lakers.

How could the Lakers compete for the championship now? They clearly compete for the No. 1 pick. Jim is the first and two big players, and it is too late to trade. The two injured stars can't send them out at all.

The team that fell the fastest in the East was the Knicks, which was beyond everyone's expectations, with 9 wins and 38 losses at the bottom of the East, only two more games than the 76ers.

Before the start of the season, the Knicks and the 76ers were predicted by experts as strong teams, and no one guessed that the two teams would compete for the No. 1 pick.

The Knicks also suffered from injuries, with JR Smith and Cameron Anthony missing one after another. Jokin Noah is a star who is better at maintaining health, but is just a blue-collar worker. He and Stadameier, who are in a declining state, cannot lead the team.

The Knicks did not renew their contract after Jamal Nelson's contract expired and signed heavy point guard Calderon. This season, the Knicks did not have to play pick-and-roll, and even if they could play, Sir's speed and ability to hit the basket were far inferior to those of the past. The hidden danger of squandering his talent when he was young showed, and it was not possible if he was only 32 years old.

As the number one scorer, Anthony received a low evaluation. If he was a power forward, he would be slightly more efficient, but unfortunately he would not be able to move at both inside positions.

Despite the team's poor record last season, the Knicks chose to offer Anthony a high salary of about 127 million yuan for about five years and lasted until 2019, and the contract was a mess.

The Knicks management has no place to spend money, so they have no choice. If Anthony is not renewed, the Knicks will not even have a star who can rebuild. They believe that Sir's decline is the main reason for their poor performance. In 2015, they can give up Sir, and they can free up their salary space and dig another star to complete the reconstruction.

Fantasy is beautiful, but that is just fantasy.

The Knicks management's mentality of renewing Anthony's contract is like a woman who is in love with a scumbag and is unwilling to give up on a scumbag.

This is because they don’t want to give up on it, but they don’t want to give up on the time cost they have paid over the years. When you give up on the scumbag, it means that the time you spent in love in the past has been reduced to zero. If it is yours, are you willing to give up?

The Knicks have paid too much to exchange for Anthony. It is impossible for them to expect Anthony to lead the team to win the championship. He is already 30 years old and his condition will get worse and worse in the future.

It is worth mentioning that there were teams competing with the Knicks for Anthony. This was another unsuccessful pursuit of big-name players after the Rockets failed to pursue Bosh. The Lakers and the Knicks manager saved the Rockets, and Morey's signing plan was too terrifying.

The Magic, who sent Anthony away, successfully completed the reconstruction and returned to the playoffs this season to rank fifth in the Eastern Conference.

Gordon Hayward, who was replaced by the Knicks, became the Magic's outside core, averaging 19.2 points, 4.6 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.4 steals per game, shooting percentage of 46.3% and three-point shooting percentage of 39.8%. He is 80% selected for the All-Star Game.

He is not the only one who may be selected as the All-Star in the Magic. Center Vucevic averaged 17.6 points, 10.3 rebounds and 2 assists per game, and shot 52.3% from the field, which is also eye-catching.

How to identify a cancer? The easiest way is to look at the performance. Some people's old clubs rise as soon as they leave. Anthony has never played in the division finals, and is now called a cancer by many people.

The most surprising thing in the mid-term was that the Bucks overtook the Nets, which were troubled by injuries, ranked first in the Eastern Conference, and the core Paul George became a popular candidate for the regular season MVP.

George averaged 24.2 points, 7 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.8 steals per game, shooting percentage of 44%, three-point shooting percentage of 39.3%, and able to shoot 2.6 three-pointers.

George, who joined the Bucks, had a completely changed fate, including his injury last season, which turned into a blessing in disguise. Because he needed to recover from his injuries, he did not participate in the 2014 Men's Basketball World Championships. He was lucky enough to avoid a terrible broken leg. He was in a very brave state after his comeback.

The Bucks signed Andrew Bogut as center in the summer, strengthening the team's defense in the penalty area. The bad news is that the selected Tanhua rookie Embiid had a stress fracture surgery and was reimbursed for the first season and could not play.

The Bucks also signed point guard Eric Bledsoe, forward Jared Dudley, and the role players in the team, they had a good running-in and became the biggest dark horse this season.
