An annual NBA draft.
Strong teams will use the draft picks in their hands to sign their favorite functional players to reinforce.
Weak teams will spend energy to get high picks, so as to get the long-favored "savior" and save the team's record in the mud.
Thirty teams, their own corresponding needs are different.
Some like talent monsters, and some like instant combat power.
But in the history of the NBA, there have been images of thirty teams going crazy for the same rookie.
Below, the old man will take stock of the five rookies who participated in the draft and caused the alliance to be large-scale.
Two: Duncan.
In 1983, the Rockets drafted Ralph Sampson.
But they were not satisfied, and then chose to mess up for another year.
In the end, the outbursted Rockets got their wish to get the title, and ignored Jordan's selection of Olajuwon in 1984 to form a double tower lineup.
How crazy was the NBA's wobble at the time?
The Rockets and Bulls, both chose to retire the main players in a large area at the end of the season.
As a result, the former lost 9 of its last 10 games, and the latter lost 14 of its last 15 games.
In 1997, it was supposed to be the most widely trafficked draft in NBA history, with sources showing as many as 15.
Even the giants, the Celtics, have not hesitated to reduce their own value and deliberately lost most of the games.
The other main force, the Spurs, would also rather not let the star David Robinson play, rather than take the title.
When the Celts ended up drawing only the Probe Sticks, the Cardinal even opened his mouth directly.
It turns out that the Spurs are rotten, really right, directly posing a dynasty.
Three: LeBron James.
James, who became famous at a young age and was already famous in the United States in high school, became the focus of attention of various teams early in the year before he entered the election.
Because the outside world knows how talented he is and how much potential he has.
In addition to the Nuggets and Cavaliers, the Raptors were also the main force of the swing at that time.
In season 2002 they had a 42-win record in the regular season and made it to the playoffs.
As a result, in 2003, James ran, the Raptors directly deliberately messed up, only won 24 games in a single season, and fell directly from the playoff team to the second-to-last in the East.
This year, as many as seven teams in the NBA had a record of less than 30 wins.
Four: Auden.
Many people say that Auden is over-mythologized, but in fact it is not.
With top physical talent and NCAA-level performance, Auden was directly identified as a combination of Bill Russell + Admiral before participating in the draft.
Teams like the Blazers, which were not completely rotten, did not hesitate to choose Oden after being lucky enough to get a signing.
This move alone is enough to reflect how high the latter's expectations were at that time.
It is worth mentioning that the Celtics were in a mess that year, winning only 24 games in a single season, the league's penultimate record, but they only got the fifth pick in the end.
Five: Cunningham.
There are not many players who can make the Rockets willingly screw up, and Corningham is definitely one.
If the first five people have been some years old, then Corningham's draft this year, the extent of the swing is so large that everyone must be looking at it.
The Rockets and Thunder chose the main players in the second half of the season in order to win the first signing.
When Thunder forward Pokushevsky accidentally helped the team win the game against the Clippers, he even received death threats from fans.
Because the outside world knows that if you win one more game, the pick you have is likely to decline by one place, the first sign may leave you, and Corningham may not use it for himself.
