I don’t know if it was an accident, but the Eastern Conference was weak and suddenly ushered in a draft year. All the Eastern Conference teams had the top four picks.

Therefore, the most popular rookies this year will go to the East to play.

The reason why the 2014 class is called the Draft Year is because it gathers three superstar seedlings and a bunch of outstanding young people with potential to develop into the All-Star.

Among them, the three T1 rookies are the most attractive: Andrew Wiggins, Maddie, the new generation of flying men; Jabbarri Parker, Paul Pierce, who mastered skills that many players would not learn in their entire lives just after just one freshman; Joel Embiid, "Big Dream" Olajuwon, has a higher upper limit than Parker and Wiggins, and has certain hidden dangers of injury.

Since ESPN ranked rookies in 2008, there have never been more than two T1 rookies in the draft at the same time, let alone three in 2014.

Rose in 2008, Griffin in 2009, John Wall in 2010, Xie Jun in 2011, and Anthony Davis in 2012.

Rookies in the t1 level are not necessarily the best-developed players among the draft players of the year, but they are the safest players. From the above examples, it can be seen that the lower limit of All-Stars 1.

1 However, in reality, there will be two T1 rookies in the 2017 draft, namely Fultz and Ball...uh...

With the Pacers' talent, a t1 rookie can only watch it.

The Clippers General Manager, Jerry West, who has seen countless people, has just finished his career as a general manager and he has retreated from the Clippers GM position.

Four years after taking over the Clippers, it has helped to establish an aircraft carrier. Although it only won one championship, it is enough to make the Clippers enter the most prosperous period in team history.

This summer, James, Bosh and Anthony's contract expire at the same time. They can only leave one, which is no longer West's job, and he will retire forever from GM position and serve as a consultant at most.

The retired logo man did not let his mouth retire.

Taking advantage of the attention of people to rookies nowadays, he came out to take advantage of the popularity and threatened: "No rookies this year can be used as the cornerstone."

Then, the draft officially opened.

There is nothing else to say. The Pacers' two draft picks were all selected inside.

They used the draft picks in the middle and late first round to win local stars, power forward Mickey McGary from the University of Michigan. The full name of this person is Michelle Neil William McGary, and "Mickey" is his nickname. McGary was born in 1992 and is an Indiana native. His father wanted him to engage in baseball in the future, but in the end he chose basketball.

The Pacers took McGary, which was considered a robbery operation to many teams.

First of all, his potential is not as low as his draft pick.

If we put the time to two years ago, all scouts across the United States think he would enter the NBA as a lottery show.

When he graduated from high school, he went to the University of Michigan with the halo of the number one power forward in the United States.

Entering the college league, he first experienced a rookie season with discomfort and injuries, and chose to stay at school. He became the team's rebounding and blocking king in the 2012-2013 season. In the past season, McGary was twice elected to the state's best first-year player in the Big 10 Division. During the 2013 NCAA Championship, he was promoted to a regular starter and eventually led all first-year players in the Big 10 Division in rebounding.

He was not very lucky and finally made a fortune. It was when the market soared, but it hit the 2014 draft.

In the year of the draft, which is known as once in seven years, there are many geniuses. Not only the geniuses of the United States, but also geniuses from Europe, Africa and even Australia, all of them have to get a share of the pie. At first, McGary wanted to stay in school for a year and play in a better market before running, but failed the NCAA drug test. If he stays in school, he will be suspended for one year, and he may be in vain.

Therefore, he had to squeeze into the 2014 draft.

Due to the numerous players available and his history of drug abuse, the teams did not dare to bet on him a first-round draft pick before the 20th pick.

So the walker picked up a leak.

Whether the Pacers got a bargain remains to be seen, but they finally realized that the thin inside line was not enough to compete for the championship.

They took McGary with the top picks.

Then, using a second-round draft pick to finalize Stanford power forward Dwight Powell.

Except for the draft picking up two inside players, the Pacers have no other operations.

They seem to be satisfied with their choices.

Then, Steve Nash negotiated a buyout with the Pacers due to his accumulated injuries over the years, and he was unable to finish his contract.

The Pacers agreed to his buyout request and the two parties reached an agreement.

At this point, the wind stopped.

Nash has joined the Pacers in the summer of 2012, and he has lost millions of income for this. Everyone can see his goal, just like Hill and others, to win a ring.

He could have joined the Lakers or the Clippers, but he came to the Pacers.

Because he knew that the Pacer would give his skills a useful place, the oil he had on his body would be sure to burn out on the field, and he didn't want to sit on the bench and mix the ring.

Today, he chose to retire and compete in the league for 18 years. He has experienced troughs and peaks. He has become an MVP and played a great series with the 21st century's best basketball player. He has been a MVP and is loved by fans of a city. In his old age, he has won the championship ring with his own strength.

He has no regrets.

Then there is news from the Pacers.

The team's small forward, Omi Casby, who is known as Israel's Jordan, ended his one-year qualification contract and officially became a free agent.

He left Indiana.

He witnessed the trough and rise of the Pacers, and as he left, he had two rings on his hand.

Before the Pacers fans could take a breath, a reporter revealed that Andre Kirilenko was considering retirement.

Kirilenko was once the heart of Pacers fans.

The dynasty teams of that year: Xie Hou, Miller, O'Neal Jr., Artest, Kirilenko - the latter was the youngest.

He is only 33 years old, and his numerous injuries prevent him from continuing to fight.

In fact, in the just-concluded season, Kirilenko only played 22 games, and only played one game in the playoffs symbolically.

His various conditions and situations are no longer suitable for playing official games.

He is too young. If he had no injuries, he might have won several more championships with Xie Hou.

It is precisely because AK47 has returned to the factory and sent it to repair it frequently that Xie Hou has changed from a flashy defender to two-time DPOY. His seven consecutive years of selection for one defense reflects how huge his progress is.

Suddenly, news of him being retired was heard, and Pacers fans were reluctant to leave.

Soon, the news was confirmed.

Andre Kirilenko announced that he would not sign with any team and he would retire.

Last year it was O'Neal Jr., and this year it was Kirilenko.

The players familiar to the Pacers fans left one by one.

Xie Hou was quietly recuperating, and no news came out.

Everyone has a day to retire. Kirilenko chose to retire. Looking at the hasty, the Pacers were actually prepared inside.

After Kirilenko announced his retirement, the Pacers officially stated that he would retire his jersey.

"No one else will wear the No. 47 jersey." Bird said solemnly.

Fortunately, the elderly were not exposed.

Charity World Peace and Pacers re-signed a three-year, 6 million contract.

Ci Shiping, 35, will live his life on the walker.

"I saw the rare warmth in professional sports in Pacers. Jermaine O'Neal and Andre Kirirenko were no longer competitive a few years ago, but the Pacers' uniforms didn't try to send them out. We haven't even heard of rumors about the two of them. They went from peak to trough, back to peak, and now back to trough, and still no one left. I believe we will never see Jermaine, Andre, Ron, Sauri, and I'm more used to calling him Ron-they won't wear other team jerseys."

It is difficult to be able to end the old team.

Artest and O'Neal Jr. found a home in Indiana. For whatever reason, Bird's management did was to retain the dynasty lineup.

Those who know the inside story will not care, Bird's purpose is not that pure.

But he did that anyway.

You know, they left the old man behind because they didn't want to make Xie Hou angry.

Now Xie Hou is 34 years old, and he will definitely live to the end of his life. There is no need to do any more work on the surface, but Bird still tried every means to leave the old man behind.

Compared with big cities, how does Indiana attract foreign talents?

It is the foundation of the championship, a stable lineup and combat power, an excellent management and a comfortable team building strategy.

Since the 10s, Pacers' attractiveness to veterans has increased day by day.

The veterans who came to join us all got what they wanted without exception.

There are many examples that prove that Indiana is a place that veterans are willing to go.

Nash and Kirilenko announced their retirement, and Casby ran away, and three positions were vacant.

Bird suddenly called Xie Hou's home.

Xie Hou lazily answered his phone, "Didn't you say it? Don't call me unless the end of the world."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Bird went straight and said nothing, "Would you like to play with Paul Pierce?"

"Um?"

"Pearce! Have you had a holiday?"

"Who and I haven't celebrated the holiday with the veteran in the league?"

"Then do you want to play with him?"

Xie Hou didn't expect Pierce to come, just as he didn't expect Garnett to come at the beginning.

"If he is willing to play with me, why not? Look at how good kg and I are playing now." Xie Hou asked with a smile.

"have a good rest."
