From defending champions to disbanding all members! The team with the fastest regression in the NBA, MVP has become a sub-production
6:00am, 13 June 2025【Basketball】
Compared with last season, many teams have a big gap this season. For example, the Pelicans are originally a team that has the conditions to compete in the playoffs, and this season has also been upgraded to the starting lineup. Zion, Yingge and Murray are in charge. As a result, they have been affected by injuries since the beginning of the season. Ingram was traded again in the middle of the season. The Pelicans went from fighting for the playoffs to falling to being bad, in just a moment. For example, the Dallas Mavericks were still the Western Conference champion last year and entered the NBA Finals, but the team suddenly encountered changes this year. Who would have thought that Doncic would be traded? Irving was also reimbursed in advance. The Mavericks went from the Western Conference champion to only ranked 10th in the Western Conference this year and stopped in the regular season. Fortunately, their lineup will still have certain competitiveness in the short term. The duo of
The duo of Thick Eyebrow and Irving should not be underestimated. More importantly, the Mavericks won the No. 1 pick this year and booked the No. 1 pick in advance, which is considered to make up for the loss of Doncic. There are also Philadelphia 76ers. As one of the Eastern Conference giants, they also have a super luxurious combination of the Big Three, Embiid + George + Maxi. As a result, George started paddling as soon as he arrived. Embiid was also tortured by injuries, which was greatly reduced in combat power. The winning rate of the 76ers this season has dropped by nearly 30 percentage points. It is unknown whether the three giants have any prospects to join forces. Of course, when it comes to the team with the biggest gap this season, there is no doubt that it is the Celtics. Although the Celtics' final record this year is not too disappointing, at least it has reached the second round of the playoffs.
However, after being eliminated, the Celtics have fallen into a state of falling apart and are deeply trapped in dire straits. On the one hand, the star Tatum was severely injured and his Achilles tendon was torn and he may not be able to make a comeback next season. On the other hand, the Celtics' salary space is about to explode. The annual salary of several starters will be more than US$200 million next season. The two largest contracts in the top two NBA history are the Celtics' double-Tanhua holdings. If this continues, it is really unbearable. White and Prichard's value is also rising. NBA reporter Kevin O'Connor reported that the Celtics are now willing to trade anyone but Jason Tatum and they have to trade in the offseason to avoid having the most expensive NBA roster next season, and they are also looking at some rookie point guards and evaluating the possibility of upward trading draft picks.
ESPN reporter Shams also said that until the draft and free market are opened, the Celtics will receive quotes from Brown and White, and they will evaluate whether it is worth trading from a value perspective. Unexpectedly, Jaylen Brown was put on the trading stand. During the offseason last summer, Brown had just signed a five-year, $304 million contract with the Celtics, breaking Jokic's five-year, 270 million, and setting the largest contract record in NBA history at that time. The Celtics value Brown so much, not just because he has been with the Celtics for a full nine years, and he can join forces with Tatum every year to lead the team into the playoffs. The more important reason is that Brown made a great contribution to winning the Celtics last year and even played better than Tatum in the playoffs, who was the FMVP of last season.
However, Brown was still too happy, and he had reached his cap last season and could not make any greater breakthroughs. This season, Brown's data have been declining in all aspects, with only 22 points per game in the regular season, and his shooting percentage and three-point shooting percentage are both 3 percentage points lower than last year. His playoff combat power is also greatly reduced, and he still has only 22 points per game, and FMVP has also become a parallel stock. In fact, Brown's starting point is not low. He is from Tanhua Show. Now he is definitely an All-Star player. However, some of Brown's shortcomings have never been solved. His offensive skills are too rough. He wants to do it with the ball. He has no ability to organize and connect. Many times, his offensive choices are not good, and his dribbling ability is poor. His 5-year maximum salary contract of US$300 million is obviously too premium for him.
However, Brown is not the biggest reason why the Celtics suffered Waterloo this year. Compared with last season, their book strength has declined in all aspects, which is mainly reflected in the two points of Porzingis and Holiday. These two players are also the primary bargaining chips for the Celtics to seek trade this summer. Among them, Holiday is indeed quite old, defense is no longer the top level in the league, offense is even more constipated, and has little effect on the field. But Porzingis, I don’t know what happened. He averaged 20 points per game in the regular season, but only 7 points per game in the playoffs. After the playoffs, Porzingis was almost deprived of assets. League executives generally believe that if the Celtics want to trade Porzingis’ $30.7 million expiration contract, they need to use draft picks as bargaining chips. But to be honest, the Celtics won the championship last year, and the God of Bo is indeed one of the biggest contributors, but it’s a pity that his regression came so quickly. It is too sad to think that the Celtics will start a wave of dynasties, but now they are preparing to rebuild.
