Put it on the shelves! US media: A list of 8 players abandoned by the team in the offseason, Wiggins led the roster

Basketball

As the NBA playoffs continue, some teams have entered the semi-finals, some teams are competing for a tiebreak battle, and some teams are equalizing the big score. No matter which type, the team's record is very related to the players' performance. Judging from this season, many teams are not optimistic about have achieved unexpected results by relying on the excellent performance of the players, but some players are not very outstanding. From the current perspective, the following 8 players may face the risk of being abandoned or traded by the team during the offseason. Let's take a look:

1. Andrew Wiggins (Heat)

Wiggins was a key puzzle when the Warriors won the 2022 championship, but his performance was sluggish after being traded to the Heat this season. He averaged only 11.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 0.3 steals and 1.3 blocks per game in the playoffs, and his three shooting percentages were 37.2%, 35%, and 70%. The Heat originally hoped to replace Butler's departure, but at present, this effect has not been achieved, and the remaining contract of up to $58.4 million (the next two years) has become a burden.

2. Garland (Cavs)

The backcourt combination of Garland and Mitchell is considered to be overlapping. After being eliminated in the second round of the playoffs, the Cavaliers management needs to solve the salary space problem. Garland averaged 18 points and 5.2 assists per game in the playoffs, but his three-point shooting percentage was only 28%. The defensive end was frequently targeted by his opponents. In this case, the team may abandon it.

3. Kyle Kuzma (Bucks)

Kuzma was completely lost in the playoffs this season, averaging only 5.8 points per game, shooting percentage 34%, and frequent defensive mistakes. The team stopped in the first round, which has a lot to do with it. It must also be cleaned up in the offseason.

4. Porzingis (Celtics)

This season, due to injuries and condition problems, he has become a substitute, with only 8.1 points and 4.6 rebounds per game in the playoffs. At present, the Celtics have clearly stated that they will adjust their salary space, so that Posses will definitely leave the team.

5. Desmond Bain (Grizzlies)

Bain's efficiency plummeted during defense against high-intensity games in the playoffs, averaging 15.3 points per game and shooting percentage of 31.7%. Considering his salary and the rise of young players in the team, the team's departure has increased significantly in the offseason.

6., Michael Porter Jr. (Nuggets)

Although Porter Jr. played with injury in the playoffs, his performance was not very ideal, with an average of 9.3 points per game, a three-point shooting percentage of only 33%, and his defensive contribution was limited. Regardless of whether he can win the championship this season, Porter Jr. will become a bargaining chip for the team to strengthen.

7., Jonathan Kumingga (Warriors)

Kumingga was abandoned in the early stage of the playoffs and did not get a chance until Curry was injured. He averaged 15.3 points per game but had only 22% of the three-point shooting percentage. He also asked for a large contract and became a restricted free agent in the offseason. Judging from the current signs, the team will sign first and then exchange.

8. Brooke Lopez (Bucks)

The 36-year-old Daluo has declined significantly, averaging 5 points and 1.6 rebounds per game in the playoffs, and a three-point shooting percentage of only 36%. At present, this team needs to be younger, and all players in the team can trade, so the 36-year-old Daluo has naturally become the target of cleaning.

The above eight players will leave the team in the offseason for various reasons. Everyone thinks that these players will find a good next home after leaving the team. Welcome to discuss!
