Perhaps only older fans remember the name Granger . Once upon a time, this guy was also the master who could beat James on the East Road. As a small forward, he can play both inside and outside, and in his peak period, he averaged 25 points per game. Moreover, with a height of 2.06 meters and an astonishing wingspan, the former All-star 's three-point shooting ability is quite terrifying. His career three-point shooting rate is as high as 38%. If he comes to today's small ball era, he will be a perfect player. He has a high outside turret, and his athletic ability is not bad. He is very defensive and can also cover the inside, or even the fifth position.

And in the third and fourth positions, he should be able to be like a fish in water. It's just a pity that injuries prevented him from waiting for the arrival of the small ball era. Even though he was once the boss of Pacers and once led the team to fight James, the Pacers still chose to give up on him. The same story also happened to Paul George , but Paojiao was still online after a serious injury. He later joined Thunder and Clippers , and both continued their outstanding careers, although he said goodbye to the Pacers. , but George still has its own world.

Then, there is Oladipo. After Pickle left the team, many people thought that the Pacers would become a bottom team, but Oladipo played a career masterpiece with this team. In the playoffs It seems that being tough with Lao James and has become a routine operation for the core players of the Pacers, but it is true that most of the results are the same. It is an honor to lose after playing a tragic game. Later, Oladipo also suffered a serious injury and said goodbye to Indiana City.

At this point, you might think that the tough guy story about this city has come to an end, but another tough guy has begun to rise. TJ Warren, this unattractive scorer who refuses to accept anyone on the court, has begun to become the core of the Pacers. What most people know about him should be the on-court friction between him and Butler. Who is this Butler? He is a representative of the league's toughness. If he can target a young boy who can fight with him, he must be quite powerful.

This young guy who made his debut in Suns joined the Pacers and quickly integrated into the team. A season ago, he was really a player who averaged 20 points per game. And his scoring does not rely on wild shots, with a 53.6% field goal percentage, a 40.3% three-point shooting rate, and a free throw shooting rate of more than 80%. It has to be said that he is quite efficient as a forward-guard swingman . The several one-on-one confrontations with Butler were also mutual conflicts. It is true that it is difficult for him to restrict Butler, but his offense is also very difficult for Butler to defend.

The masterpiece of Warren's career was the game against the 76ers in the 2019-2020 season. In that game, he scored 53 points. His outstanding scoring explosive power is enough for him to play the main role in any team in the league, and with his With his age and the above data, he should have been able to easily get a big contract with an average annual salary of US$20 million, but injuries still have to be mentioned.

Like Granger, George Oladipo and others, TJ Warren who is in the Pacers is also quite unfortunate. A stress fracture in his left foot limited him to only play 4 regular season games last season. After the end of the season, Warren, whose contract expired, also said goodbye to the Pacers. This team that aims to rebuild obviously has no intention of treating Warren as the future of the team. And such a man who was ready to fight finally joined the Nets with a basic salary. Yes, you read that right, it is the Nets, the same Nets where Durant Irving is constantly acting like a monster.

The whole world is staring at Durant and Irving, and watching what kind of bargaining chips the Nets will accept to let these two great men leave, but they ignore that this team actually won the championship in the past two seasons. are the favorites, and this offseason, they are also quietly strengthening their ranks. The young inside player Clarkston has been retained by the Nets with a salary of 20 million US dollars in 2 years, which adds Warren.Both of these two players have abilities above the league average. Even if Irving Durant leaves, these two players are still interesting to watch.

Coupled with the original lineup and the two three-point shooters Harris and Curry Jr., the team's outside firepower is not bad. The nerve knife on the bench Mills can stand up and take over the game at any time. He can shoot into the half without any blind spots without receiving the ball. This top sixth man is also a weapon for the Nets to stay competitive. Not to mention there is an All-Star Simmons who has never appeared on behalf of the team. Even though the young Simmons has a shooting weakness, the team really does not need him to shoot three-pointers. He has top organizational skills. And defensive ability, whether he is standing at the third or fourth position, he can maximize his potential.

Unknowingly, the Nets are secretly making reinforcements. Maybe rumors are spreading everywhere now, but as long as there is no official announcement, Durant and Irving still belong to the Nets. Maybe, after a set of operations that were as fierce as a tiger, at the end of the summer and the beginning of the season, it was found that the two of Duou were still stuck in Brooklyn.
