Remember TJ Warren with Butler's passion for spraying?
Since suffering a foot fracture on December 30, 2020, the brother has not played an official match for more than 400 days.
On January 28, Pacers reporter Scott Agness reported that Warren's recovery had been effective and would begin 1-on-1 training, and the latter made it clear that he wanted to stay with the team and help the team through this difficult period.
Unfortunately, it backfired.
The Pacers, who sent off little Sabonis, didn't stop their rebuilding plans.
The latest sources show that they have put TJ Warren and Craig on the shelves together, seeking chips in return.
The fate of geniuses is always bad, and this is not false at all.
TJ Warren, who was a top 20 player in the United States in high school, also squeezed into the lottery at the draft.
Scouting reports at the time rated him as a highly skilled forward with surprising possession, scoring, athleticism, and shooting ability, template former NBA All-Star Caron Butler.
After being drafted by the Suns, Warren played for Phoenix for five seasons, averaging 19.6 points and 5.1 rebounds per game in his fourth grade.
After moving to the Pacers, he scored 53 points in a single game against the 76ers, fully demonstrating his offensive talent.
That year, Warren was only 26 years old, and many people thought that he would be the next star-level frontcourt.
If it weren't for injuries, Woe ethics would have a very bright future.
A striker who can attack and defend, fight first-class, and shoot basketball, is this not the future basketball candidate in Riley's mouth?
If you can always stay healthy, the first two years of the Eastern Conference All-Star selection may be TJ Warren.
After all, he was the Pacers boss before the injury hit, not Sabonis Jr.
The Indiana Curse continues...
The Pacers' continuous selling of former core players is obviously aimed at getting out of the predicament of not being able to get up and down and try to rebuild.
Instead of a round trip in the playoffs, or even the playoffs can not enter, it is better to use these high-quality players in the team in exchange for some high-level draft picks to replenish the team's young blood.
Although Warren suffered an injury, his comeback status is unknown.
But he is only 28 years old this year, which is the golden age of athletes.
For some teams that are in the process of rebuilding, it is still worth a first round, or two second rounds, such as the Rockets.
Why mention the Rockets instead of the rest of the team?
Because the Pacers have always been interested in getting Gordon, the possibility of interchange exists when the brothers are paid close...
