Sudden infighting! It's numb, Downs is completely numb! This year's NBA Eastern Conference Finals team

Is the Knicks' failure to make it to the Finals this year? You know, they stopped in the second round of the playoffs last year.

But the Knicks management doesn't seem to be very satisfied with the results this season, according to Shams, they will hold an internal meeting to evaluate everything, Thibodeau is safe,It can be expected to be very aggressive and aggressive in terms of lineup adjustments......

Coincidentally, the Knicks broke the news before thatThere are players & coaches who have privately expressed their dissatisfaction with Downs' defensive habitsFor example, there have been many times when he has changed his screen strategy or rotation style in defense without explaining to his teammates why he did so.

At the G1 match in the Eastern Conference finals, Downs and Anunoby had a heated argument, and Brunson persuaded him to join the game, and the fuse was the poor communication between the defenses.

Could it be that Downs will be the target of the Knicks management? This season is the first year of his arrival, and he has helped the team reach the Eastern Conference finals, and his individual performance is obvious to all, and he has become an indispensable inner core of the team.

In the regular season this season, Towns played in 72 games, averaging 24.4 points, 12.8 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game, shooting 52.6% from the field, and was selected to the All-NBA team three times; In the playoffs, he averaged 21.4 points, 11.6 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game, shooting 48.8% from the field. The dude's contract expires in 28 years, with salaries of $53.14 million, $57.08 million and $61.02 million over the next three seasons.

Past and present rumors have suggested that if the Knicks are determined to pursue Antetokounmpo, then Towns will be the best trade chip. Yahoo Sports gave a simulated trading plan,That is, the Knicks sent Towns + Klek + 26 years of protected first-round pick (from the Wizards) + two first-round pick swap rights (26 and 30 years) from the Bucks in exchange for Brother Alphabet.

There is no doubt that Brother Alphabet is a stronger interior and a real offensive and defensive integration than Towns, averaging 33 points, 15.4 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game in the playoffs this year, and the current contract also expires in 28 years, with a salary of $54.13 million, $58.46 million and $62.79 million in the next three seasons.

But Downs has a skill that his brother doesn't have, that is, a long-range shot that can open up space, averaging two three-pointers per game at 42 percent shooting per game in the regular season and 1.4 three-pointers per game at 35.1 percent shooting per game in the playoffs.

Of course, in any case, if there is a real chance, the Knicks will be quite happy to trade Towns for Towns, which is not a perfect but still incredibly easy choice question.

It's just pity for Towns, he can't escape the fate of continuing to be put on the shelf when he plays so well in the Knicks, he only left his parent team Timberwolves for 9 years last year, and now he may have to live a life of exile again.

Before the start of this season, the Timberwolves suddenly sent away Towns, trading Randle + DiVincenzo + a first-round pick from the Knicks, and now it seems to be a win-win deal.
