It’s really time to rebuild! With an annual salary of 130 million, the four core players scored 49 points together. The three stars are all overrated. They rely on Westbrook to lead the team.

On November 12, in a game that just ended, the Nuggets defeated the Kings 122-108. Before the start of the game, Kings coach Christie said: Those scumbags and fake fans, you can keep your energy, we will continue to work hard, we are growing, and when you have done enough, the era of the Kings is coming, you all understand. After hearing what he said, I was also confused. Where did he have the courage to say this? Did you drink fake wine?

The two sides played very close in the first three quarters of this game. Those who knew it thought that the Kings were inspired by the coach's words. The actual situation is that the Nuggets did not regard them as opponents at all. In the fourth quarter, the Nuggets started to exert their strength, with a wave of 16 The climax of -4 directly established a 15-point lead. In just 5 minutes, the Nuggets eliminated the suspense of the game. The strength gap between the two sides was still obvious. Jokic scored 35 points, 15 rebounds and 7 assists in this campaign, while Murray scored 23 points, 3 rebounds and 8 assists.

Looking at the Kings, no one in the team scored more than 20 points. Judging from the entire game, except for Westbrook and Sasha, everyone else had no fighting spirit at all. Sasha wanted to prove himself in front of Jokic, but his strength was far behind. In this campaign, he scored 19 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists on 8-of-12 shooting. Jokic beat him and left the game with 6 fouls in 25 minutes. Westbrook scored 14 points, 8 rebounds and 11 assists in this game. Although the offensive efficiency is not good, if it were not for him, the Kings would lose this game even more ugly.

But Westbrook still can't get a starting position with Christie. He probably doesn't want the outside world to see that Schroeder, whom the Kings spent 44.42 million to sign over three years, is not as good as Westbrook with a minimum salary. Xiao Hei is really good in international leagues, but in the NBA, his confrontation is poor, which also affects his offense and defense. His annual salary this season is 14.1 million, which is not worth it at all.

Savoy may have been overrated as a player. He has good statistics every year, but he just can't lead the team to achieve results. His ability to fight tough battles is very limited. When facing high-intensity defense, he can't open the offensive end. Sometimes he just wants to get assists. Giving the ball hand to hand is also very eye-catching. This season, he averaged 15.3 points, 14 rebounds, 4 assists and 1.1 steals per game. Although the data is not bad, compared with his salary of 42.33 million, it is still a bit premium, mainly because he cannot lead the team to a record.

LaVine, who has the highest salary on the team, has performed well overall this season, but it is embarrassing to wither when it comes to tough battles. In this campaign, he scored 12 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists on 5 of 12 shots. He is the Kings' highest salary this season, reaching 48.5 million. In the previous game against the Thunder, he only scored 5 points. How does this look like the performance of a top-paid star? LaVine is the same as Sasha, he can do well against weak teams to improve his statistics, but he becomes weak when it comes to tough battles.

DeRozan is considered the toughest among their starting four. Even though he was nicknamed the Garbage Brother back then, DeRozan is now 36 years old. Although his three-pointers have improved, his physical fitness cannot keep up. He made 7 of 15 in the field, 2 of 6 three-pointers, and scored 18 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists. This season, Azan is not considered a premium player. With an annual salary of 24.75 million, he averages 20 points per game. However, he does not have the ability to lead the team to win, nor does he have leadership qualities.

These four have a combined annual salary of 130 million this season, and they scored 49 points together. This performance is really eye-catching. To be honest, the contribution of the four of them on the court is not as good as Jokic. This season, the Kings' total salary reached 210 million, ranking seventh in the league. The Nuggets' total salary was only 194 million, ranking 11th in the league. They spent more money but did not get the results they deserved, which also shows that their lineup is not good enough.

Today, the US media reported that the Kings intend to rebuild. They want to send away Sabonis, LaVine, DeRozan and other players with trade value. To be honest, these four, that is, Sasha can get some draft picks for the Kings.

This team has actually been leading them forward for a period of time. Westbrook led the team to win with a triple-double before. Today, after the team fell behind by a big score, Westbrook assisted Eubanks to score consecutive goals, helping the team narrow the point difference to single digits. He has a leadership temperament. I think if the Kings rebuild, they should keep Westbrook and let Westbrook use his enthusiasm to inspire young players and let them make progress.

The Kings still have a lot of young talents, such as Ellis, Keegan Murray, and Clifford, who are all worth looking forward to. The current lineup has no future at all, and it is time for the Kings to rebuild. Having said that, what do you want to say about the current king? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
