Change the change many times! The new king of the Eastern Conference made a proof of the other 29 teams! You can rebuild without having to show it badly

On May 28, after the Pacers defeated the Knicks 130-122, the score was already 3-1. Just win another game and the Pacers will win the Eastern Conference championship this season. In fact, last season, the Pacers not only reached the finals in the mid-season, but also reached the Eastern Conference finals of the playoffs, eventually losing to the Celtics. In just three years, the Pacers completed the reconstruction. In fact, they rebuild later than the Rockets, Magic, Pistons, Spurs, Jazz and other teams. The Pacers' success also inspired the other 29 teams.

【20/21 season】

Pacers' lineup is the core five-man group of Turner, Sabonis, Warren, Leville and Brogordon. The bench is home to the Holiday brothers and McConaughey. The Rockets' lineup is Porter Jr., Wall, Oladipo, Wood, Martin, Gordon, etc. Until the summer of 2021, they got a 13th pick in the first round. The Rockets have four first-round picks this summer, namely the No. 2 pick, the No. 16 pick, the No. 23 pick and the No. 24 pick. The Pacers chose Duarte, while the Rockets chose Green, Shinkin, Christopher, and Garuba. Duarte was sent to the King by the Pacers, and Green and Shin Kyung became the Rockets' current internal and external dual cores.

【21/22 season】

In the middle of the season, the Pacers sent Sabonitz to the Kings in exchange for Halliburton. But the Pacers did not make it to the playoffs and got the No. 6 and No. 31 picks. The Rockets continued to play badly and sell players, and got the No. 3 draw, No. 17 draw, and No. 29 draw. The Pacers selected Matherine and Nemhard, while the Rockets selected Smith, Ethan, and Washington.

【22/23 season】

This season, the Pacers almost made it to the playoffs and finally ranked 11th in the Western Conference. The Rockets chose to continue playing badly this season, and the Rockets finally got the No. 4 and No. 20, while the Pacers drew the No. 7 and No. 26. The Pacers never actually acted like bad things in the real sense, but kept debugging the lineup. Turner, the team's core asset, was not used to trade for draft picks, and he performed patiently enough.

【23/24 season】

In the middle of the season, the Pacers completed the transaction again and exchanged Bruce Brown and three first-round picks for Siakam. At this point, the Pacers' reconstruction has been completed, and they reached the finals in the midseason and the Eastern Conference Finals in the playoffs. Although the Rockets gave up on the show and invited Uduka, the Rockets ultimately missed the playoffs.
