NBA East-West Finals: 6 "Abandoned" stages, they are now the core, and were abandoned in the past

NBA playoffs are in progress, and the Eastern Conference Finals and Western Conference Finals have been held.

Western Conference Finals, the Thunder 2-1 Timberwolves, both sides saved their home court.

Eastern Conference Finals, the Pacers 2-1 Knicks, both sides lost their home court. The teams that entered the East-West Final are the Thunder, Timberwolves, Pacers, and Knicks, all of whom are new faces.

Pacers and Timberwolves have never won the championship. The Knicks and the Thunder won the championship a long time ago. Even if they relaxed to reach the finals, the Thunder were the most recent ones, 13 years ago.

And their core are young players, the Thunder are Alexander and Jaylen Williams, the Timberwolves are Edwards and Randle, the Knicks are Brunson and Towns, and the Pacers are Halliburton and Siakam.

No matter who enters the finals this season, no matter who wins the championship, it is a new breakthrough, and no matter who wins the FMVP, it is also a supreme honor. Among the core cores, only Siakam won the championship.

The core of the current team, the previous abandoned players

Although these 8 people are now the core of the team and they all have hope of winning the championship, in fact, most of them were abandoned players before.

In order to get Paul George, the Clippers sent away the young Alexander and could not wait for Alexander to grow up. In order to get Sabonis, the King sent away the young Halliburton, who they thought his style was not in line with the team.

Timberwolves and the Knicks were not satisfied with their respective power forwards, so they swapped, and Randall and Towns swapped their bosses.

The Mavericks were unwilling to give Brunson a high salary, so Brunson went away to New York to join the Knicks.

Raptors believed that Siakam could no longer help the team go further, so they chose to rebuild and sent Siakam to the Pacers. Among the 8 cores, except for Edwards and Jaylen Williams, the other six have changed teams, and when they were replaced, they were all abandoned by the old club who chose better chips or thought they were better.

Tree moves dead, people moves alive

But this is the case in the NBA. Sometimes when changing teams, it is an opportunity and growth. There is no best, only the most suitable one.

After Alexander joined the Thunder, he grew into an All-Star, a First Team member, and an MVP step by step.

Halliburton joined the Pacers and grew into an All-Star and Best Team. After joining the Knicks, Brunson also grew into an All-Star and Best Team.

These three are actually shining and growing rapidly when changing teams.

Randall and Towns did not give up on themselves because of being abandoned, but instead worked diligently. Now they have entered the division finals. I don’t know if they will meet in the finals, but at least there are no losers in this deal.

Siakam is still steadily acting as his second-in-command role, just like he did in the Raptors back then, and he will not fail to abide by the team's tactics and arrangements just because he has a championship.

This is why they can succeed. They have all experienced troughs, so they know how to cooperate and how to help the team.

And Edwards and Jaylen Williams, two of their own drafts, are also working hard to prove their worth.

Jaylen Williams was selected into the All-Star in his third season, with the second team of the All-Defensive Team and the third team of the All-Strait, which shows that he worked hard on both offense and defense.

Edwards, his playoff wins have exceeded half of the Timberwolves' history. Who is the winner on the

?

The playoffs are still going on and have not been eliminated yet. Whoever is the winner depends on who can stick to the end.
