NBA playoffs are in full swing. With the defending champion Celtics losing to the Knicks yesterday, they were eliminated 2-4 in a big score, with only one game left in the East and West semi-finals, and the Thunder and the Nuggets will also decide the last place in the Western Conference Finals. The game was very busy and the off-court was not idle. Kaizi's elimination added a lot of fire to the offseason big deal. Not only did this overnight pass, but three more news came from the NBA. Let's see what happened together.

Brown may undergo surgery for meniscus laceration

According to famous American reporter Ramona Shelburne, former Finals FMVP Brown played with meniscus laceration injury in the last month of the regular season and during the playoffs, and also received knee injection treatment. He is another Warrior, another player who was eliminated and injured. Here, James is probably going to be criticized again. Looking at Brown's overall performance this season, he averaged 22.2 points, 5.8 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game in the regular season, 22.1 points, 7.1 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game in the playoffs, and 23.9 points, 5.9 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game in the playoffs. Judging from the data, Brown does not seem to have any decline, but from the progress of the game, his influence on the game has still declined significantly compared to last year, and his shooting percentage has also dropped from 51.6% last year to 44.1%. It is still affected by injuries. Let's take advantage of the offseason to recover well.

Celtics will usher in reconstruction

According to Celtics reporter Jay King, the team will make major adjustments during the offseason and thoroughly carry out the restructuring plan. For the Celtics, this season is undoubtedly a frustrated season. They formed a lineup with multiple players with ball offense, playing the ultimate "magic ball" on the offensive end, and averaged 48 three-pointers per game, achieving the second place in the regular season Eastern Conference, but fell in the second round in the fierce playoffs. The core player Tatum suffered a serious injury from a ruptured Achilles tendon and is very likely to miss the game next season. Brown may also undergo meniscus surgery in the offseason, and it is also unknown when he will return next season. The most fatal thing is that the team's salary is expected to reach 231 million next season, and it will pay 263 million luxury tax. This is an exaggerated number. Seeing that there is no hope of winning the championship next season, it is a foregone conclusion that the Celtics will demolish the team and rebuild it. Porzingis, Holiday, and Horford, who have performed poorly in the playoffs, will be put on the shelves, and the offseason will be lively again.

Rockets reiterated that one person is not sold, former NBA star Marion mentioned the Rockets in a show, and he said it is not surprising that Green was involved in any deal, and they will definitely leave Amen Thompson behind. It has to be said that Marion's words are about the heart of the Rockets' management. Judging from the current trading rumors, whether it is introducing Durant or Antetokounmpo, Green, Smith, Ethan, White Devils, Shepard and others, and even Shin Kyoto, who has just signed a five-year long-term contract, have been involved in transaction rumors to varying degrees. Only Amen Thompson has never been discussed, which also shows that the Rockets have regarded it as a treasure and are the team's only non-sale product. Amen's performance is also worthy of the expectations of the management. He averaged 14.1 points, 8.2 rebounds, 1.4 steals and 1.3 blocks per game in the regular season, and averaged 15.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, 1.7 steals and 0.9 blocks per game in the playoffs. He proved his value in one round of the playoffs.

Dear fans, do you think the Celtics will enter the reconstruction this summer? Who will be the best of Holiday and Platinum? Let's wait and see this summer!
