Five: New Orleans Pelicans
20 13 The New Orleans Hornets officially changed their name to Pelican Team. Before the name change, the captain of the Hornets was Paul, the first point guard in the league. In the seasons led by Paul, the Hornets have always been a competitive team in the West, but their presence in the playoffs is actually relatively low, because they have never entered the Western Conference finals. Interestingly, if the Hornets' most famous event in those seasons is probably the fourth game of the first round of the 2009 playoffs, the Hornets lost to the Nuggets by 58 points.
After Paul left the team, the Pelican team fell into a trough for a long time. Although the team selected top insider Anthony Davis in the 20 12 draft, it still failed to enter the playoffs almost every year. Although the Pelican team acquired the superstar Cousins on 20 17 and formed a terrible twin-tower combination with Davis, Cousins was reimbursed for Achilles tendon tear in the regular season, and the Pelican team finally stopped in the playoffs this season.
In the summer of 20 19, the pelican traded Davis to the Lakers in exchange for three young talents, namely Bauer, Ingram and Hart, and also selected Zion Williams with the No.1 pick. Although the team's book strength is very good, for various reasons, the Pelican team failed to make the playoffs last season.
Four: new york Knicks
Although the Knicks are located in the bustling downtown of new york and caused great trouble to Jordan and Bulls in the 1990s, they have been one of the worst teams in the league in the past two decades. Because of the various fatuous operations of the management, the Knicks are the fishing team of the league almost every year. Although the salary was invested in a very large contract, the Knicks rarely produced all-star players before 20 12, so the Knicks management was also called "many people are stupid with money" by fans.
In 20 12, Anthony, Stoudemire and Chandler formed the Big Three in the Knicks, but because of injuries and incompatible lineups, the team could not go further in the playoffs and never reached the Eastern Conference finals in those years. After 20 18 Knicks chose to trade Anthony to Thunder, the team entered a thorough reconstruction. Because the management of the Knicks is notorious, many superstars also avoid it, and no superstar wants to join the Knicks.
At present, the Knicks' lineup is very exciting, and they have signed five power forwards with a considerable part of their salary space. From this point of view, the Knicks are likely to become the bottom team in the league again next season. In recent seasons, the number of Knicks fans has decreased, because few fans will choose to pay attention to such a team that looks hopeless in the future.
Three: Washington Wizards
Although the Wizards are a team with a long history, in the past twenty years, the Wizards have only produced three famous and relatively tall stars: Arenas, Wall and Bill. During the period when Arenas led the team, the Wizards did not become the fishing team of the league, but they could not make further achievements in the playoffs. After Arenas left the team, the wizards fell into a long-term trough, and even the number of playoff places could not be guaranteed.
Wizards chose Wall in the 20 10 draft and Bill in the 20 12 draft. Soon after running in, they gradually became one of the most competitive backcourt combinations in the league. However, in the past few years when the two men led the team, the Wizards have not been able to achieve good results in the playoffs, almost every year is the first round or the second round. To make matters worse, Wal-Mart suffered a left foot injury at the beginning of 20 19 and tore his achilles tendon while recuperating at home. He missed the whole 20 19-2020 season, and the Wizards finally chose to trade Wal-Mart to the Rockets.
Although the wizards are located in the capital, they have not received much attention for a long time because of their unsatisfactory record. However, with the arrival of MVP Westbrook this season, the Wizards will undoubtedly increase their attention.
Number two: Atlanta Hawks
The Eagles are also an old team in the league, but since the beginning of the 20th century, the Eagles have hardly produced a very popular superstar. In the decade of 2000-20 10, neither Josh Smith nor Joe Johnson led the eagle to achieve very good results. Therefore, after the two left the team one after another, the eagle also entered a state of reconstruction.
In the 20 15 season, the Hawks, who had no superstars in their team, unexpectedly won 60 victories under the coaching of Buden holzer, even surpassing the Cavaliers to rank first in the East. The Hawks had four players selected for the All-Star team that year, but these four players did not reach the All-Star level in a strict sense. After the first and second rounds of the playoffs, the Hawks were easily swept by the Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference Finals. The following year, the eagle with a good record in the regular season was swept by the Cavaliers again.
Therefore, although the Hawks had a good record in the regular season in those years, they never got much attention in the playoffs. After that lineup was dissolved, the Hawks fell into a state of ruin for a long time. Although the team's new leader, Trey Young, was selected for the All-Star starting lineup last season, the Hawks still haven't got rid of the fate of the countdown in the league.
One: Charlotte Hornets
Wasps used to be bobcats. As the youngest team in the NBA, the Bobcats, who only joined the league in 2004, have a poor record. They only reached the playoffs in the 2009-20 10 season, led by Gerald Wallace and Steven Jackson, but were kicked out in the first round. On 20 10, the Bobcats ushered in the first famous event in the team history, and Jordan, the god of basketball, became the owner of the Bobcats.
However, Jordan, who was brilliant as a player, was a mess when he was the boss. In the 20 12 season, Bobcats played the worst record in NBA history, such as 7 wins and 59 losses. During Jordan's years as the boss, the renamed Hornets were unable to select excellent players in the draft almost every year, and only Kemba Walker, a famous star, has only made the playoffs once in recent years.
With Walker's departure, the popularity of wasps has further declined. At present, wasps can't get much attention for a long time. It is worth mentioning that there are still a large number of Hornets fans paying attention to Jordan.
