This time, let’s talk regarding Wendell Carter Jr., who was traded to the #Orlando Magic in the trade of Nikola Vucevic. But what I want to discuss more is not to simply discuss the current success or failure of this transaction. After all, his current performance and Franz Wagner alone can probably determine the success or failure of the deal; nor is it WCJ’s subsequent development in the Magic, because I also don’t know enough regarding magic to provide a better argument. What I want to discuss is, even with the benefit of hindsight, did the Bulls have better choices at the time?

1. The trading dilemma caused by the cultivation problem
(1) Was it all caused by that person?
Before talking regarding the Wendell Carter Jr. trade case, of course, we must go back and see whether WCJ when he was traded and WCJ who followed the Orlando Magic can be compared? So to put it bluntly, when the Chicago Bulls traded WCJ, he was a man who would be disliked by many Bulls fans for his performance on the court, thinking that the Bulls’ No. 7 pick was thrown into the sea once more.
The reason why I say that there are many Bulls fans means that it is not my opinion at the time. I think that WCJ did hit a wall and was in trouble at the time, but that included the factors of the coach and the lineup, not what he might decide alone.
Speaking of this, I want to discuss one thing first. A phenomenon is often caused by many different causes, with different degrees and effects. For example, when we mentioned above that WCJ cannot overcome the dilemma of coaches and lineups, we It’s not that the player has no ability to solve it independently, nor is it that the player does not need to take responsibility, but to a reasonable extent and under the circumstances, where should he be responsible?
The reason why this concept is mentioned first is because we are going to discuss the WCJ dilemma, Jim Boylen, who many people think is responsible; and when I use the word many people, it means that I have some inconsistent views.
(2) Before all problems occur
I don’t know the age of the friends here. Do you still remember that there is a character named Wang Yuyan in Jin Yong’s novels. She doesn’t know martial arts, but because of her understanding of martial arts, people around her can use her instructions to let people from their own camp It can be multiplied in the battle.
In the NBA, you occasionally have people with Wang Yuyan’s characteristics. Their unique combination of skills and talents, plus their ability to interpret the game, when they are on the court, they can always make their teammates combine their own. , to play a performance that surpasses the original purely individual scattered talent.
Using less wuxia novel adjectives, they will have the effects of Glue Guy and catalyst at the same time. On the one hand, they can connect many individuals and aspects of the game, and on the other hand, they can catalyze better chemical reactions on the field.
So if you found such a rare player, would you want to try to bet on him and maximize his characteristics in lineup configuration? A good and lucky example is of course Nikola Jokic and Giannis Antetokounmpo; a bad example is Lonzo Ball and Otto Porter Jr., which happened to the Chicago Bulls.
I think friends who have read my article recently can have a certain impression of Ball’s specialness; following all, OPJ, apart from the ones everyone is more familiar with recently, most of them think he is an important bench corner for the Golden State Warriors to win the championship in the 2021-22 season , Is he unique to the extent I said?
After OPJ was traded from the Washington Wizards to the Bulls in the 2018-19 season, he achieved the following results:
＊Score 17.5 / Rebound 5.5 / Assist 2.7 / Steal 1.2 / Pot 0.6
* Shooting measurements 48.3 / 48.8 / 90.6 + 2.6 three-pointers per game
If we express it qualitatively, OPJ at that time was a defensive commander who might go from single defense on the flanks to the second-line defense in the penalty area to the central defensive commander, and then the offensive end had the ability to hold the ball, switch between offense and defense, and set the ball outside. Organized, with a complete three-threat, and a large striker with a high degree of certainty regardless of pull-up or catch and shoot.
