반블리트, 레이커스 이적 없음

775

붕괴되지 않는 핵심

나는 수년간 선수 영향력 예측 모델을 개발해 왔기에, 반블리트 이적 소문이 퍼질 때마다 숫자를 확인하는 게 우선이었다. 감정도, 추측도 아닌, 단지 사실만. 결과는 명확했다. 레이더스는 트레이드 논의조차 하지 않는다. 벤 더보즈, 잭슨 게틀린, 크리스 A. 화이트 등 여러 기자들의 보도에서 한 가지 결론만 도출된다: 반블리트는 건드리지 못할 존재다. 왜냐하면 그를 잃는 것은 로스터에 피해를 주는 것 이상이다. 팀 정체성이 무너지기 때문이다.

40분의 화염: 플레이오프 증거

올 시즌 반블리트는 플레이오프에서 평균 40분을 소화했다. 단순한 노력이 아니다. 위기 속에서도 버티는 체력이다. 평균 18.7점, 4.1리바운드, 4.4어시스트—좋은 수치지만 핵심은 여기 있다: 필드 슛 성공률 43%, 3점 성공률 무려 43.5%. 압박 상황에서는 오히려 더 빛난다. 이런 순간까지 일관된 모습은 스프레드시트에는 나오지 않지만, 반복과 용기로 쌓인 것이다. 그럼에도 일부 팬들은 여전히 묻는다: “왜 스타 선수와 바꾸지 않는가?”

‘가치’의 오해

NBA에는 더 많은 득점을 올리는 선수도 있고, 화려한 하이라이트를 만드는 선수도 있지만, 반블리트처럼 효율성·결정력·내구성을 모두 갖춘 선수는 없다. 내 모델에서 중요한 지표인 PIE(선수 영향력 지표)와 WS/48(48분당 승리 기여량)를 고려했을 때, 그는 동료 가드들 중 최상위권에 위치한다. 득점보다 경기를 어떻게 최대한 활용하는지를 아는 사람이다. 그를 트레이드하면 즉각적인 이익은 없고, 장기적으로 약화될 뿐이다. 생각해보라: 누가 압박 속에서 패스를 만들고? 모든 것이 무너졌을 때 누가 공격을 이끌까? 정답은 또 다른 역할 플레이어가 아니라… 침묵이다.

리더십은 사라진 후에 비로소 보인다

반블리트는 단순한 통계가 아니다. 그는 문화를 만든다. 방어에서는 태도를 보이며, 웜업부터 본보기가 된다. 드라마 없이 동료들을 책임감 있게 이끈다. 올해 ESPN 분석에서는 강한 코트 리더십을 가진 팀은 후반전 실행률이 평균 12% 향상된다는 결과를 확인했다—계약 연장으로 얻을 수 없는 가치다. 그래서 휴스턴팀은 잘 알고 있다: 반블리트를 잃으면 점수 이상의 것을 잃게 된다—구조와 정신력, 그리고 몇 년 간 쌓아온 신뢰 전체 시스템 말이다.

결론: 즉각적인 해결책 없음

로스터 문제를 트레이드로 해결할 수 있다는 생각은 위험하게 단순하다—특히 지속 가능한 발전을 추구하는 휴스턴에게 더욱 그렇다. 반블리트는 자산으로 얻어낸 게 아니라, 인내심 있는 육성과 현명한 드래프팅으로 만들어진 기초였다. 지금 그를 내보내면 마치 앞날의 폭풍을 걱정해서 항해 중인 배의 안착 고리를 팔아버리는 꼴일 뿐이다—사실 그 고리는 배 자체의 생존에 필수적이니까.

เขาคือหัวใจที่ไม่มีใครซื้อได้

ร็อกเก็ตส์ไม่ยอมขายวานฟลีต เพราะเขาไม่ใช่แค่นักกีฬา…แต่เป็น ‘ระบบ’ ของทีม!

40 นาทีในนรก? เขาอยู่เฉยๆ

เล่นครบ 40 นาทีในเพลย์ออฟแบบไม่มึน! ยิงถึง 43.5% จากสาม-pointer… แฟนบอลบางคนยังถาม: “แล้วทำไมไม่เอามาแลกดาว?” (เพราะเขาคือคนเดียวที่ทำให้ห้องเครื่องของทีมทำงาน)

การนำทีมแบบเงียบๆ มันแรงกว่าคำพูด

เขาไม่ต้องกร้าวหรือตะโกน เพียงแค่อยู่ตรงนั้น…ก็ทำให้เพื่อนร่วมทีมหายกลัว เหมือนไฟฉายกลางหมอก — มันไม่มีเสียง ก็พอจะเห็นทางได้

เข้าใจไหม? การปล่อยเขาออก = การปล่อยเรือลอยตามลม

ถ้าคุณขายลำแก่งของเรือเพราะกลัวพายุ… แล้วจะไปไหนได้ล่ะ?

คุณมองเห็นความจริงแบบนี้ไหม? คอมเมนต์เลย! จะได้ช่วยกันหาคำตอบว่า…ใครควรเป็น “ผู้นำเงียบ” คนต่อไป 🏀💬

เห็นข่าวจะเทรดฟริดด์ก็ตกใจเลย! แต่พอมาดูสถิติแล้วถึงกับอึ้ง…เขาเล่น 40 นาทีต่อเกมแบบไม่หวั่นไหว แถมยิงสาม-pointer เจ๋งกว่าใครในช่วงไฟนอล!

ถ้าเอาเขาไปแลกกับซุปเปอร์สตาร์? ก็เหมือนขายกุญแจรถเพื่อแลกกับลูกบาส…เดี๋ยวรถก็หายไปเอง!

อย่าลืมว่าความแข็งแกร่งของทีมไม่ได้มาจากการบันทึกคะแนนเท่านั้นนะครับ แต่มันคือ ‘หัวใจ’ ที่ทำให้ทุกคนเชื่อมโยงกัน 💙

แฟนๆ ร็อกเก็ตส์เคยโดนแซวว่า ‘ไม่มีอะไรเลย’…แต่ตอนนี้เรารู้แล้วว่า มี ‘ฟริดด์’ เป็นเสาหลักสำคัญมากกว่าซุปเปอร์ฮีโร่ซะอีก!

คอมเมนต์บอกเลยว่า…อยากเห็นเขาใส่เสื้อ #16 ในสนามตลอดไปไหม? 😂🔥

Let me get this straight: VanVleet doesn’t score more—he uses every possession like a Swiss watch on defense. Trading him? That’s like selling your anchor because you’re afraid of storms ahead. Our model says he’s not an asset—he’s the entire ecosystem. Meanwhile, fans are still asking: ‘Why not trade him for a star?’ … Probably because that star can’t make free throws and rebound while sipping espresso at 3AM. You think they’d find value in highlight reels? Nah. They’d find silence.

P.S. Drop a GIF of him hitting a 3-pointer with zero emotion and maximum efficiency—caption: ‘Still counting…’
