What, don t play back to back? Then the Lakers old player is really going to be ruined

We all know that in 2019, Pelinka traded Thick Brows with Ingram, Lonzo Ball, Hart, draft picks, etc. The Lakers regained the championship after 10 years in the 19-20 season, and have never been the champion for any reason since then. The key point is here, and the exchange for Doncic for Davis means that the Lakers will be the winners of the championship in the next five years.

After leaving the Lakers, Ingram was selected as the All-Star and received a big contract - after being traded by the Pelicans to the Raptors, he reached a three-year, 120 million contract renewal with the team.

Hart went to the Pelicans and the Trail Blazers one after another, and finally found a sense of home in the Knicks - the team won 5.6 points in 100 rounds when Hart was on the court, and the team won 2.0 points in 100 rounds when he was not on the court. Apparently, the Knicks are more efficient in winning when Hart is on the court.

Relatively speaking, Ball is not as "difficult" as Ingram and Hart. To be precise, we have neither selected the All-Star like the former nor found a sense of belonging in a certain team like the latter.

This summer, Ball was traded to the Cavaliers by the Bulls.

However, according to the NBA China official website, the Cavaliers are considering not allowing Ball to play back-to-back games.

does not hit back to back, in my opinion, Ball is really useless.

First of all, the reason why Ball did not show the second goal was more because of his ability but because of injuries. In terms of data, two of the past three seasons were reimbursed due to injury and 35 appearances in one season. In fact, even though he has been in his career, Ball's attendance rate of 58% is still unqualified.

This time the Cavaliers consider not allowing back-to-back hits, which means that Ball is still suffering from injuries.

Secondly, although Ball still has two years and 20 million contracts, the problem is that the 26-27 season is the team's option. In other words, if the team performs poorly in the new season, the team may refuse to execute the option and become an expiring contract.

Based on this, we can understand "waste" as:

1. Ball is still troubled by injuries;

2. There is a possibility that he will not get the contract for the 26-27 season.

In my opinion, the first point is the main reason.

First of all, without injuries, the Cavaliers cannot not let them play back-to-back, after all, the team is currently in the championship cycle.

Secondly, if the Knights have concerns, they may refuse to execute the 26-27 season contract.

In summary, if there is a hidden danger of injury, Ball is very likely to become a full free agent next summer, so as to get a contract like Ben Simmons. What this brings is most likely to fade out of the league too early.
