Today's Pacers home seems to be a little different from usual, only to see two lines of slogans written on the outside of the venue:
The Indiana Commissary opened and welcomed teams to buy in an orderly manner.
Yes, the guys read that right.
The team, which has always had a good record in the East, finally decided to tear down and rebuild.
Pacers president Pritchard had made this suggestion a few seasons earlier, but the boss was always hesitant: "Wait another year, wait a minute." ”
What the boss is waiting for, in fact, everyone knows.
The Pacers, although quiet in recent years, have not had any highlights, but they are not too bad, entering the playoffs for five consecutive years, and there are different players playing every year.
What the skill jun said about playing is not a two-game highlight, but a season-long progress.
In other words, the Pacers team has almost no role players, and many of them have served as the team's boss for a period of time, and the depth of this lineup is a bit scary?
The boss will also think, if I put these players together, will I make a mess? There must be ah!
However, he had forgotten one thing by all his calculations, the Walker Boss, the most deserving of it.
Players who are the boss of the Pacers often play less than one season and think that various injuries will be reimbursed for various injuries.
The early Danny Granger and Paul George, and in recent years Oladipo, Sabonis Jr., Turner, and TJ Warren have almost all suffered from it.
That's why they tend to get good results in the regular season (usually around 4-5 in the East End) and stop as soon as they get into the playoffs.
Five consecutive years of playoffs, annual round trips, and last year did not even make the playoffs.
The team basketball in the minds of the Pacers owner should be the tough guy group composed of Hibbert, David West, and Paul George.
Or The Salt Lake City Jazz with Mitchell and Gobert at the core.
But what about the Pacers now?
There are many players who can play, but there are no stars who can match George, Mitchell, Gobert and so on.
Coupled with injuries, an already promising youth army fell apart.
Fortunately, the whole lineup of this team is almost a high-quality asset.
Brogdon, Sabonis Jr., Le Vere, Turner, Lamb, and TJ Warren are all good, opening a commissary, but can get back a lot of good resources.
Leaving Duarte as part of the reconstruction, completely tearing it down, may have a good miracle effect?
Not surprisingly, the Pacers will be the most active team on the trading market by the trade deadline.
And their reconstruction careers, I'm afraid, will not take long.
