Thibodeau plans to spend three days dealing with his affairs in Boston, and then goes to Los Angeles to sign a contract and attend the draft as the head coach. He and Ye Feng and Alile chat for an hour about the team's reconstruction.

There are several players in the free market that Thibodeau admires, all of which are defensive, including Matt Barnes of the Warriors, Josh Smith of the Hawks, and Andre Iguodala of the Philadelphia 76ers.

After hearing that Barnes would definitely join, Thibodeau was very happy and smiled: "There is another Celtic player. I hope the Clippers can introduce him, if he is willing to come... As long as the people I mentioned are introduced, plus Ye Feng, I am confident that the Clippers' defense will immediately rise, and it is very likely to make the playoffs next season."

Ellie asked, "Who is from the Celtics? If you recommend it, he should have come?"

Thibodeau smiled bitterly: "It's so bad, I'm talking about Tony Allen, he's a good outside defender."

"Brother?" Ye Feng was immediately embarrassed...

In the Celtics vs. Lakers, Ye Feng saved the ball fiercely and Tony Allen suffered the most bizarre injury in basketball history. After that, the fans gave him a tragic nickname "Brother Baby", which has been completely spread.

Tony Allen is a backcourt player with a strong defense, with excellent attitude, awareness and ability. He was injured again in the playoffs, otherwise he would likely have performed well in the finals. He just finished his rookie contract, so his net worth would not be too high.

Ye Feng knew that Tony Allen had strength, but because of that injury, they formed a gang. Thibodeau hoped that he would come, so he had to promise to apologize again and try to invite him. Alile immediately called Baylor and asked Baylor to contact these free agents as soon as possible. The door to the summer transfer market has been opened.

Just as the season ended, the Clippers and the Grizzlies completed their first big deal. The Clippers offered Ye Feng a year of 12 million. After Ye Feng accepted the offer, the Grizzlies signed first and then exchanged, giving Ye Feng, Kyle Lowry and the 2009 second-round draft pick in exchange for four people, El Soton, Tim Thomas, Cartino Mobri and Josh Davis.

Once the news was confirmed, experts all believed that the Clippers paid too much for Ye Feng, and it was a crazy deal.

The fans in Los Angeles were very happy. They all like to watch Ye Feng dunk. The Clippers held a press conference, and Ye Feng and Lowry showed off their new jerseys together. Ye Feng still used No. 74, while Lowry chose No. 7.

"Little Steel Cannon" was also very happy to leave the Grizzlies, and finally no need to play a substitute for McConley. Last season, he averaged 96 points, 3 rebounds, 36 assists and 11 steals per game. The Clippers lacked a point guard, so he believed that he could become the starter.

Now the Clippers are short of personnel, and they traded Carman and Ross, and now four more people are sent. In addition, veterans Cassel and Aaron Williams have retired, and eight of the Clippers have left the team. Sean Livingston, Paul Davis, Dandy Kau, CJ Watson have expired, and Magety and Brand choose to jump out of the contract. The entire Clippers team is about to leave.

Baylor was anxious. He thought the Clippers could not get a complete team at all. It was certain that they were only Barnes, Lowry, Mutombo and Ye Feng. Among them, Mutombo was still the mascot. Ailee was confident and prepared to poach people in the free market. Now the Clippers have the most affordable salary in the league.

Three days later, Tom Thibodeau took his family to Los Angeles as promised and successfully completed the signing. Thibodeau was full of energy and thought he had met a good boss. Ye Feng was also very excited because he welcomed the best coach in the future.

Basketball experts, major media don’t think so. Thibodeau, who has signed inexperienced assistant coach for five years, serves as head coach. People think that the Clippers were driven crazy by Dunleavy’s resignation.

It was soon June 26th, and Ye Feng, Ellie, manager Elgin Baylor, and coach Thibodeau flew to New York together to attend the 2008 draft held in Madison Square Garden, New York.

A large number of NBA stars, managers, bosses and newcomers who are preparing to enter NBA gathered in New York, and fans around the world are focusing on this. This is a highly watched draft, and the rookies are highly praised. Because of this, the Clippers' bad performance seems more valuable.

Rookies with high rankings have entered the "Green House" of the draft early to wait for the draft results and participated in the media meeting. The host and the top 14-ranked general manager will announce the results here.

Because Dunleavy resigned, the new coach was late, so he did not invite rookies to participate in the trial before the draft, and there was insufficient preparation work. However, with Ye Feng here, adapting to the situation would not lead to a waste. The experts also conducted detailed evaluations of rookies before the draft began. The latest predictions were based on the rookies' physical data and performance in the training camp, and they have high reference value.

Baylor took a list and studied it carefully. After working in the Clippers for many years, he already had draft phobia.

The Los Angeles Clippers are the well-deserved "the worst draft team in the league". In addition to his boss Sterling, he is a ball-blind, Baylor has made great contributions.

God often gives the bottom team a "rare treasure" to the bottom team at the draft. Some unlucky teams often turn it into waste without having time to appreciate it, such as last year's No. 1 pick Oden. Of course, there are also some teams who choose waste.

Before Brand transferred to the Clippers, they were always the best team to play badly, but unfortunately, Baylor's IQ was almost negative in draft picks, which led to their play badly without success.

Let’s start with 1996. As we all know, it was known as the golden generation of rookies in 1996. The Clippers held the No. 7 draw and could only choose a good player even if they were blind. However, the Clippers carried forward the humanitarian spirit and gave Kobe Bryant, Pejastoyakovic, Steven Nash, Jermaine O’Neal and others friendly to the team behind.

Who did they choose?

Lorenzen Wright!

Few people are familiar with this name. Even the Clippers fans will not remember this person. In the three years of the Clippers, this No. 7 rookie who beat Kobe, Nash averaged only 7 points per game. Now Wright has long become a marginal player. Perhaps only Ye Feng is impressed by him in the United States, not because Wright has had an amazing performance on the court. But in Ye Feng's previous life, in July 2010, Wright made the headlines and was murdered at the age of 35. I hope this is not done by the angry Clippers fans.

The 1997 draft was relatively simple. Except for Duncan, McGrady, and Billups, other players were ordinary roles in their respective teams. In this year, the Clippers selected Morris Taylor. This draft was very successful! It was so successful! The Clippers actually chose such a great man who can score! Some people might say that although Morris Taylor can score, he cannot defend. Isn’t it a cancer? Can this be considered a success? Morris Taylor helped the Clippers to successfully play the Clippers. Because of Taylor's unremitting efforts, his teammates didn't have to touch the ball and could play mahjong on the court. The Clippers achieved a super bad result of 9 wins and 41 losses in the shrinking season and successfully won the No. 1 pick!

In 1998, the opportunity for the Clippers to rise came! They chose the famous Michael Olovo Kandi with the No. 1 pick! The reason why he is famous is that 10 years later, there are fans who are happy to discuss a question: which one is more watery? Is it Olovo Kandi or Kwame Brown?

Look at the players the Clippers missed that year: Mike Bibby, Antoine Jamison, Vince Carter, Dirk Nowitzki, Paul Pierce. There are too many strong men... If Ye Feng was the owner of the Clippers, he would definitely cut Baylor.

1999 was an accident, and the Clippers ranked fourth in Lamar Odom.

In 2000, Baylor returned to his mentality. He picked Dalius Miles in the third pick. This was the worst draft year in history. The No. 1 pick was Kenyon Martin, who only stood on Kidd's shoulders and dunked. Swift was the second player. Later, he couldn't play well in the CBA in China. There were no good players this year, so I can forgive him, although the Clippers missed Michael Reed, Hidetkgru, and Jamal Crawford.

In 2001, the Clippers selected Tyson Chandler with the second pick. Behind them were Paul Gasol, Zach Randolph, Joe Johnson, Tony Parker, and Gilbert Arenas... The "boxing champion" is also a good player. Clippers fans should thank God for not allowing them to get the No. 1 pick, otherwise Baylor would definitely choose Kwame Brown in front of Jordan!

In 2002, the Clippers selected Chris Wilcox with the 8th pick. At this time, many fans began to consider cutting Baylor's head... This year's draft pick has attracted the attention of hundreds of millions of fans because of Yao Ming. What is Wilcox? In the four years of the Clippers, Brother Ray averaged only 6 points per game. The fans once again saw the parallels. The best rookie of that year was in the 9th pick - Amarest Tadameier. Then there were Caron Butler, Techelon Prince, John Salmons, Carlos Boozer and other great men.

To sum up, the Clippers have declined to an unparalleled decline, but this is not over yet, and there is still a tragedy later.

The first draft year after the Golden Generation in 2003. Except for Milicic, James, Wade, Anthony, and Bosh all became superstars. The Clippers, who have always been good at playing badly, got the No. 6 draw like a watershed, so they had to choose a blonde man, that is, Chris Carman, who has been sent away. Kaman is a good center, but he is only a second-rate. The Clippers pass by the superstar again.

In 2004, the Clippers selected the unlucky child Sean Livingston in the fourth pick. Livingston was a genius, but injuries ruined him. The Clippers missed a group of people again: Devin Harris, Andre Iguodala, Al Jefferson, Jamil Nelson, Kevin Martin...

2005 is no longer a decline but funny. Maybe it was because he lost confidence in the local rookie, maybe it was because he was jealous of Ginobili and Parker's success. Baylor embarked on the road of internationalization this year. No. 12 selected Kololov from the CSKA, Moscow, Russia. No one knew who he was, and no one had seen him play. This brother was just a legend in the NBA. The Clippers missed Danny Granger and David Lee for this...

In 2006, the Clippers made unexpectedly good results and finally no lottery picks were available.

This is the situation of the Clippers' draft, and it is also why most fans in Luoshanjie will deny that there is another NBA team in this city besides the Lakers. Because the Clippers are so bad, this badness is reflected in the draft. If the Clippers do not make mistakes in the draft, they can easily form an All-Star lineup.

Center Paul Gasol, power forward Carlos Boozer, small forward Dirk Nowitzki, shooting guard Kobe Bryant, and point guard Steve Nash.

I believe no fans will be unfamiliar with the above people. If we put aside different eras and states, if these people really get together, they can definitely establish a dynasty, and the Bulls at their peak cannot do them. The Clippers didn't even choose one, and their most successful draft was Odom, which is simply incredible.

This time, the Clippers are destined to get out of the bad luck of the draft! (To be continued)
