The NBA s "blind operation era" may have arrived! The Kings, Suns and Pelicans are the best verified

"One is accidental, two is coincidence, and three is trend" - the NBA may be entering "free time". The Kings, Suns and Pelicans' operations this summer are unaware of themselves and ignorant of how to build sustained competitiveness. They are so short-sighted that it is confusing, and even with a little "stupid style of the past" - the management did not even have the execution plan back then, and they thought it was cool to do it. The King ended the happy era of "lighting the beam", and a series of chaotic operations reminded fans: the pain of the past has never disappeared. Recently they sent off reliable substitute Jonas Valanciunas in exchange for marginal player Dario Salic, signing Dennis Schroeder only to save money - and the team already has Malik Monk, Demar DeRozan and Zach Lavender, with positions overlapping to absurdity. The Kings' defense may be at the bottom of the league, and it's time to let Domantas Sabonis go and don't waste his peak - it's a mess.

The Suns' operations are even more speechless: they cut off and extend the payment of Bradley Bill (19.4 million US dollars a year for the next five years), and a year ago Matt Ishbiya publicly accused other teams of not daring to surpass the second-rich line. If this transformation is not a tragedy, it is simply a comedy - the whim of an arrogant boss can destroy the fans' hopes. Durant is exchanged for Jaren Green, Dillon Brooks and his first round pick, use this lottery to choose center Carman Maluach, and then send away the last tradeable lottery for another center Mark Williams - the resource allocation is extremely bad. What's worse is that the Sun renewed Devin Booker (the contract expired in 2028 and turned 29 in October) for two years. It's a desperate struggle, pretending to be competitive in the next few years. Booker is excellent, but in business, loyalty and self-destruction often coexist. The Sun should have used this for huge rewards and rebuild seriously - but they delayed the inevitable ending and would only be more painful.

Joe Dumas and Troy Weaver, who finally named the Pelicans: This month is so "exciting". First, there were a series of confusing operations (introducing Jordan Poole, using the 2026 unprotected first-round pick-up to choose Derek Quinn - he and Zion overlap), and then finally wisely renewed Herb Jones - the defensive pioneer who is eligible to be traded in January next year, hoping to go to a serious team. The creed of the King, the Sun and the Pelicans, seems to be "we should be taken seriously". The bosses are either blinded by the management or indifferent, hoping to win the team without core style of play and a lineup that cannot even touch the side of the playoffs.

(The Mavericks would have joined this group if they weren't lucky in May Lotto; I wrote about the Bulls nearly three years ago, and their operations can only be summarized as: "We like mediocrity and will do our best to do it.")
