The Kings are in trouble! They scored 16 points on 17 shots in the last two games, were abandoned for two consecutive games, and blatantly messed up with 46 million.

On November 20, the NBA regular season continued. In a game that ended today, the Thunder defeated the Kings 113-99. There was nothing to say about the game. The Thunder suppressed their opponents throughout the game. In this campaign, Alexander made 12 of 24 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, and scored 33 points, 8 rebounds, and 3 assists. Chet scored 21 points and 7 rebounds. After winning, the Thunder won 7 consecutive games. Since the start of the game, they have 15 wins and 1 loss, ranking first in the league. It is too strong.

On the other hand, after losing this game, the Kings suffered a 7-game losing streak. The team fell to the second last place in the Western Conference with 3 wins and 12 losses. It is indeed unexpected that the Kings have played like this this season. Westbrook tried his best in this game. He scored 7 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals on 3 of 7 shots. The best performer for the Kings in this game was Schroeder. He scored 21 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists on 9 of 21 shots. Although the shooting efficiency was not very good, looking at the entire game, only he, Achiuwa and Westbrook wanted to win. Achiuwa scored 15 points and 9 rebounds.

Seeing this, some fans may ask: Where are the Kings’ three cores? Sabonis did not play in this game, but the performance of DeRozan and LaVine was not satisfactory. DeRozan made 4 of 12 shots and 0 of 2 three-pointers, scoring 17 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals. Facing the Thunder's top defenders, DeRozan was really overwhelmed. Although the offense is not good, DeRozan did his best on the defensive end. For a 36-year-old veteran with an annual salary of 24 million, this performance is understandable.

But LaVine's performance was disappointing. He scored 8 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists on 4 of 10 shots from the field and 0 of 4 three-pointers. He also made 5 turnovers in the game. Because of his poor performance, coach Christie abandoned him after only 2 minutes in the fourth quarter. This is not the first time that LaVine has been abandoned. The same was true in the last game against the Spurs. He was directly abandoned in the final quarter. LaVine's performance in this game was not good either. He scored 8 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists on 3-of-7 shooting.

In the early days of the season, LaVine was the first core member of the Kings' efforts to correct the situation. In the first six games of the season, he scored 30+ points in five of them. Why has his performance been so bad recently? Because LaVine's mentality is exploded, he is playing now not to win, but to show off. He doesn't want to win at all. It is precisely because of his mentality that Christie abandoned him at a critical moment. Otherwise, how could a team's star be abandoned at a critical moment?

Now LaVine lacks the desire to attack on the court and is not focused on the defensive end. His presence on the court will affect the attitude of other players. Under such circumstances, it is better to abandon him. I think the reason why LaVine's mentality has been unbalanced recently is because the Kings have put all their core players on the shelf. Due to the poor record so far this season, the Kings previously announced that they would put their core players on the shelf, including all players with trade value such as LaVine, DeRozan, Savoy and Schroeder.

But everyone should have seen the performance of other players. Because they have not performed well this season, even if the team puts them on the shelf, they are still working hard to prove themselves, hoping that other teams can win them. Only LaVine has begun to deteriorate. I have to say that this star is really assertive. It was the same when he was with the Bulls. Because he was dissatisfied with the team for putting him on the shelf, he even had surgery and was reimbursed for the season without consulting the team.

The Bulls are probably thankful to God that they were able to send him away. Even if they couldn't exchange LaVine for the chips they wanted, they would still send him away, because not only does this player have a mental problem, but his high scoring cannot help the team win at all. Take LaVine's performance in the first six games this season. Although he scored 30+ in 5 games, the team had a total of 2 wins and 4 losses. Although the shooting efficiency is also very good, it cannot bring substantial help to the team.

If LaVine continues to perform like this, the Kings will probably be the most depressed, because with LaVine's performance and his cancerous attributes, it will be too difficult for the team to send him away. Previously, the famous reporter Amick reported: Sabonis has attracted the interest of several teams, but LaVine has not. According to the current situation, the final result may be that LaVine is still on the team, and the Kings have no way to send him away, even if they get a bargaining chip.

The biggest difficulty for the Kings in getting rid of LaVine is his salary. LaVine's annual salary this season is as high as 46 million. He still has a one-year contract worth close to 49 million, and it is also a player option. According to LaVine's salary Judging from his performance in the past few years, it is obviously unrealistic for him to get another contract with such a large annual salary. Therefore, LaVine will definitely choose to implement the player option, and there is a 15% trade deposit in his contract. It will be too difficult to send him away.

The Kings were also screwed when they traded the team's leader for LaVine. It's not the Bulls' fault. They made their own choice, and the team is in trouble now. Having said that, what do you want to say about the current King and LaVine? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
