Unbelievable, the Trail Blazers are unbelievable! The most stingy owner in the entire NBA

No dispute, no suspense, so formidable~

Victor Wembanyama was elected the Defensive Player of the Year for the 25-26 season, receiving all 100 first-place votes, becoming the first unanimous winner since the DPOY award was established.

In this season's regular games, Wembanyama averaged 25 points, 11.5 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1 steal, and 3.1 blocks per game while playing only 29.1 minutes per game; his individual defensive efficiency was 103.6, ranking fourth in the league; the Spurs' regular season defensive efficiency was 110.4, placing third in the league.

If it is said that the 22-year-old Wembanyama is already the best all-around player in today's NBA, who agrees and who disagrees?

By the way, Wembanyama is also one of the three MVP candidates this season, but he likely cannot surpass Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

Of course, Wembanyama's current main task is to lead the Spurs to achieve something in this year's playoffs; they crushed the Trail Blazers 111-98 in Game 1 of the first round at home.

For the upcoming Game 2, the Spurs' win probability is as high as 82.3%, while the Trail Blazers' win probability is as low as 17.7%.

Other matchups may see underdogs upsetting favorites, but almost no one believes the Spurs will give the Trail Blazers any chance.

Next, the Trail Blazers might adjust their lineup by deploying twin towers to counter Wembanyama; during the regular season, they occasionally used Yang Hansen and Robert Williams together in substitution rotations and achieved good results; otherwise, sticking to the same strategy would likely doom them to a sweep.

Speaking of something off topic, the Trail Blazers' new owner is quite stingy, as follows:

Not distributing T-shirts to fans during the playoffs;

Not covering travel expenses for team photographers, accompanying journalists, and two-way contract players to go to San Antonio for the playoffs;

Only willing to offer the head coach a $1 million annual salary (the market rate for a qualified NBA head coach is $4 million to $10 million).

Having spent about $4.25 billion to buy the Trail Blazers, yet nitpicking over small expenses, such behavior is hard to justify... With such an owner, the Trail Blazers' future looks bleak.
