George is on the trading shelves! Nets set the tone, does the Lakers get a space-type forward? Reluctant to leave Hachimura

According to the NBA China official website, the Nets are willing to take over Paul George, provided that 76ers pack the Titan Lottery.

George was given up after just one year of joining?

First, the real shooting rate of 54.3% is a significant drop compared to 61.3% last season. If the efficiency decline is because a new team still needs to be adjusted. What about the injuries? In fact, 41 games in attendance, putting aside 31 games in the 21-22 season is a career low.

More importantly, George, Embiid and Maxie had a net loss of 0.5 points in 294 minutes of the game. For comparison, Durant, Booker and Bill had a net win of 0.2 points in 100 rounds in 483 minutes. In short, the "Jon Horse" and the other three did not have the effect of 1+1+1>3, and they are even incompatible.

When all transaction rumors of Embiid were exposed, it was normal for "outsider" George to be placed on the trading shelves.

From the perspective of 76ers, George is older and has a larger contract than Embiid. More importantly, compared with the former center position, the forward line is relatively easy to find a replacement. For example, Grimes - playing in the third position 29% of the playing time, and there are many more than 40-point scenes against the Rockets and Warriors.

Of course, the Nets are more interested in taking over George's tied up. To put it bluntly, it will be Brooklyn's primary goal to miss "Son of America" ​​Flagg after he loses the "Son of America". Based on this, George has three years and 160 million yuan in large contracts left to spend. What is important is that the Tanhua Lottery can accumulate the resources that are reconstructed.

From the side, the Nets also set the tone: If the 76ers want to send George away, they will have to take the Tienhua sign. It depends on whether the 76ers' management has the courage. After all, similar operations before were slap in the face. For example, in the summer of 2020, in order to send Horford away, he joined the Thunder in the first round of trade, but the former quickly recovered his form and was eventually called one of the main contributors to the Celtics' 24th season to win the championship.

At the same time, it is related to the Nets' transaction. US media "FW" recommends that the Lakers and the Nets make a 3-for-1 deal. Specifically, the Lakers gave Hachimura Shizuo, the first round of swaps in 26 years, and the second round of Cameron Johnson in 25 years.

Cameron Johnson?

I would like to call it a space front line.

Reason 1: Location. In his 340 games so far in his career, he has played in the 9020 minutes and played in the 13% of his playing time and played in the 3rd position and 78% of his playing position in the 4th position. Obviously, it is the swaying man on the front line. To put it more, judging from the fact that the proportion of 7% of the number five position, you can also play centers to a certain extent in the small ball lineup.

Reason 2: Three-point projection. Apart from the 34.9% in the second grade, the three-point rate in the rest of the seasons has not been lower than 37%. The final career three-pointer rate was 39.2%, and combined with an average output of 2.3 goals, he can be said to be an elite pitcher. More importantly, unlike Beasley, Hilder and others, in the playoffs with greater defensive intensity, Johnson can still ensure stable output from the outside - his three-point percentage in his playoff career is 41.6%, and he averages 1.8 goals per game.

Reason 3: Function. In the regular season, Johnson scored 110.9 points in 100 minutes on the court, and in 1541 minutes on the court, the team scored 103.9 points in 100 minutes on the court. The difference of 7 points is a good example of Johnson's importance. To be precise, projection plays a role in hindering the attack pressure of teammates.

To sum up the above three points, we can understand that the space-type front line is the main front line position and has both elite-level projection ability. Johnson's existence can greatly make his teammates' offensive efficiency higher.

Based on this, I think the Lakers' words to get Cameron Johnson will definitely increase the team's instant combat power. It is very important that his projection restraint can reduce the offensive pressure faced by "Dong Zhan". If the offensive pressure is reduced, the efficiency will increase. When the core efficiency is guaranteed, the winning rate of potential teams will also increase.

However, giving up Hachimura is somewhat reluctant. But then again, this transaction will be difficult to reach without leaving Hachimura.
