20 million in 2 years! The efficiency of the tandem is comparable to Booker and others. The Cavaliers are considering the Lakers former player. Is he going to be eliminated by the league?

Season 24-25, the Cavaliers' substitute averaged 39.7 points per game. For comparison:

1, Thunder value is 35.1 points;

2, Nuggets value is 26.4 points;

3, Knicks value is 21.7 points.

In other words, in the championship-type team, the Knicks have top substitute offensive firepower. Speaking of this, we have to mention De Andre Hunter - 27 appearances since the Hawks joined the Cavaliers in the middle of the season, including 22 substitutes, averaging 14.3 points per game. Speaking of this, let’s look at the group data:

1. The starting rate so far in my career is 75%;

2. The round usage rate so far in my career is 20%;

3. The real shooting rate so far in my career is 58%.

Judging from the data, Hunter has mainly started and used the ball rights to reach the core level, and his efficiency is relatively close to the All-Star. Potential, if nothing big of an accident, the new season will be the starting lineup, especially on the premise that Okoro leaves the team.

Hunt starts, who does the Cavaliers rely on for substitute?

We all know that before the free agent market opened, the Cavaliers exchanged Ocorro from the Bulls for Lonzo Ball. In the 24-25 season, Ball converted 115 assists from 852 passes, and in terms of efficiency, 1 assist per 7.4 passes. Just in terms of efficiency, look at the group comparison:

1. Lillard converts 1 assist per 7.5 passes;

2. Booker converts 1 assist per 8.3 passes;

3. Trae Young converts 1 assist per 6.5 passes.

Comparison of data, although he has suffered consecutive injuries, Ball's pass and control still has the top level in the league.

At the end of the individual, Ball made a total of 243 shots and his real shooting rate was 56%. Just look at the real shooting rate, let’s look at the group comparison data:

1. The value of Antetokounmpo at the elite level is 62.5%;

2. The value of Tatum at the All-Star level is 58.2%;

3. The value of Bridges at the Quasi-All-Star level is 57.1%. According to the comparison data, Ball's personal ending is basically better than 60% of the league's players.

Efficient tandem + stable personal ending. Obviously, Ball is very suitable to be the sixth person at this stage. However, according to the NBA China official website, the Cavaliers are considering whether to prevent Ball from playing back-to-back games.

No back-to-back?

Obviously, the impact of injury on Ball continues. I think if Ball can't effectively overcome his injuries, he will be eliminated.

First, contract. Although there are still two years and 20 million contracts, the 26-27 season is the team's option. As a result, if the performance is not good in the new season, there is a high probability that the team will refuse to execute the team options for the last year. Just like the previous Lakers gave up Ciffino - Pelinka refused to execute the third-year team option for the rookie contract.

Second, attitude. As I said just now, since I consider not playing back-to-back, it proves that the management has expressed its attitude - the core meaning is to play more and provide the team with immediate combat power.

To sum up two points, as long as the performance is not good in the new season, the probability of Ball getting the last year's contract is very small, and the result will be eliminated by the league. How to talk about

elimination?

No matter whether it is in an injury or other off-court factor, there will be no team giving a contract. Just like the former top pick Ben Simmons and Fultz. Of course, if Ball had no team willing to give a contract, it would be more of an injury.

Finally, Langzo Ball, the old Lakers player, you have to work hard to overcome your injuries, otherwise you will really fade out of the league.
