How difficult is it to form a three-no.com lineup? It has only appeared 7 times in history, but only 2 times have truly won the championship

After the Mavericks won Flag, they also formed a lineup of three No. 1 picks. Next season, the lineup consisting of Irving, Thick Eyebrow and Flag are also highly anticipated. Many fans and media are optimistic that they can win the championship, but they are not able to win the championship with enough talent. Although there are few teams that have formed the three No. 1 picks in history, not all have achieved success. Next, let’s take a look at what achievements have been made by the teams that have formed the three No. 1 picks before the Mavericks.

Lakers

In the offseason in 2019, the Lakers got Davis through a big deal, and James formed a luxurious two-no. At this time, Howard was on the verge of unemployment. Many teams were afraid that he would affect the locker room and dared not sign him. As a result, Howard recommended himself many times, hoping to join the Lakers. In the end, his sincerity also touched the Lakers. Relying on the double towers of Davis and Howard, coupled with the connection between James, they achieved the first record in the league. They were also affected by the epidemic that year and started the playoffs in the park.

Relying on the performance of the three No. 1 picks, the Lakers easily emerged in the Western Conference in the playoffs, defeated the Heat 4-2 in the finals and won the championship. The three No. 1 picks this year were still very successful. Later, the Lakers introduced Westbrook in the 21-22 season. At that time, the Lakers still had three No. 1 picks from Howard, James and Davis, but because of the lack of chemistry, the team's record was not good. For this reason, Davis and Howard had a conflict, which eventually led to the Lakers not even making the playoffs. The team's three No. 1 picks were disintegrated next season, and now Davis has gone to the Mavericks.

Timberwolves

Timberwolves formed three No. 1 picks in two periods. The first time was in 2015. The Cavaliers exchanged Wiggins' No. 1 pick Bennett for Love in the offseason of 2014. The Timberwolves successfully won the No. 1 pick with the help of the two. The team won Towns in the 2015 draft, but none of these three No. 1 picks had a leadership temperament, and Bennett was even more of a parallel. In the end, the three failed to succeed. Bennett was abandoned by the Timberwolves early. It was already an accident that he was able to become the No. 1 pick that year. He became the No. 1 pick completely through the draft.

After that, the Timberwolves still built the team around Towns and Wiggins. They welcomed Ross in the 17-18 season. Ross was in the same situation as Howard in 20 years, and they were almost without a ball. Thibodeau gave Ross a chance, and Ross also proved himself. He made a playoff in the Timberwolves during his two seasons with the No. 1 pick, but Butler led the team to score. Ross had no peak at that time, and the No. 1 pick was immature. Later, Wiggins and Towns also went their separate ways.

Cavaliers

Cavaliers formed three No. 1 picks in the 16-17 season. Many fans may not understand this. Didn’t the Cavaliers always be the double No. 1 picks for James and Irving at that time? They also won Boggart, the No. 1 pick in 2005. He played for the Cavaliers for a short time, but Bogut had no peak at that time. He was given up after playing 27 games in just 27 games. Boggart no longer had the strength to win the championship center after suffering a major injury against the Cavaliers in 2016. In this year's playoffs, the Cavaliers couldn't stand it.

During the 1.0 period, he had a period of forming the three No. 1 picks, but at that time the Cavaliers were completely trying to fool James. They introduced O'Neal in the late 2008-09 season and Joe Smith, the No. 1 pick in 2008-09. Joe Smith was originally a blue-collar player, and O'Neal had long since lost his peak. In this case, although James and his young team reached the Eastern Conference Finals, they eventually lost to Howard's Magic. The team was eliminated. This was the closest opportunity to 23 vs 24 that year, but it was not achieved.

The Lakers

The Lakers

, the three No. 1 picks, have been working together for a long time, which is also the key to the success of the Lakers' Showtime period. The Lakers traded with Jazz that year and got the Jazz draft in 1979, but this draft draw eventually became a magician. It is also lucky that the Lakers traded with the Cavaliers and got the No. 1 pick sign in 1982, and the No. 1 pick was James Worthy. The Lakers also formed the first three No. 3 pick combination in history, and they never missed the playoffs during their team formation.

Relying on the three top picks, the Lakers also won three championships, and the distribution of these three championships is relatively good. The three of them each won an FMVP trophy. Later, Jabbar retired in 1989. After Jabbar retired, the Magic and Worthy led the team to the finals, but did not win the championship in the end. The Magic retired in 1991 and made a brief comeback in 1996, but no longer had a peak. Worthy retired in 1994, and the cooperation of the three also created the Lakers' dynasty era and the most successful three top pick combination in history.
