The Basketball Court Swordsman
Chapter 624: : The choice of victory and money
The achievements of Kobe and Henson off the basketball court have made people talk about it. After the end of their NBA careers, some people have a fiasco, and bankruptcy and other things are commonplace. But some people will become better and better.
And Henson has found a way out of the basketball court before he quit the NBA. If so, what coach wants to get throat cancer and gray hair on the basketball court?
Obviously, Henson has the right to choose his own life.
However, the rise of BodyArmor sports drinks only took a few days and was quickly forgotten by basketball fans. Because in July, it indicates that the most lively transfer market will usher in many big moves.
The transfer market has just opened, and the Los Angeles Lakers led by the "magic" have started to do things.
They traded the former core of the team D'Angelo Russell and replaced him with the Nets, just to be able to deal with Mozgov's junk contract and free up salary space by the way.
No one thought that the "Magic" would be so decisive. After all, Russell has been a rookie that the Lakers have focused on for the past two years. The "Magic" actually traded Russell, who was in the same position as Lonzo Ball, while Lonzo Ball had not yet played. This shows the "Magic"'s determination to strengthen Ball.
Johnson is so determined, it is very likely that he learned a lesson from the losses of the draft. He knew very well that if he wanted to be more greedy in everything, he might get nothing in the end.
Therefore, the "Magic" did not continue to dawdle with the Nets, and decisively completed the transaction.
Also decisive is the Atlanta Hawks. The Hawks' poor performance in the playoffs last season made them lose patience with Howard. So as soon as the transfer market started, Dwight Howard, who was once the league's first center, was traded again.
Howard still did not stop the downward trend last season. Although he still averaged 12.7 rebounds and 63.3% shooting per game, he averaged only 13.5 points per game, which is far from the presence of the first center that year. Not only that, but Howard has fewer possessions in the playoffs and the data is even more bleak. There is no doubt that such Howard can not meet the Hawks' expectations of him.
If placed five or six years ago, Howard's deal would definitely be earthquake-magnitude, and it would definitely change the league pattern directly.
But this year, in addition to feeling that life is impermanent, the fans showed no other emotions about Howard's deal. After all, the current "Warcraft" is no longer the superstar who can replace LeBron James alone.
Howard's deal is no longer heavyweight, but the heavyweight deal soon came, and did not make fans wait too long. After Howard, the former Pacers won the championship, the current Bulls guard Jimmy Butler was traded to a more competitive and far away from the Pacers.
Last season, the Bulls were swept by the Pacers both in the regular season and in the playoffs, with a total of 0 wins and 8 losses. There is no doubt that Jimmy Butler believes that as long as Henson is still there, there is no hope in the East.
Therefore, Butler has long expressed his desire to be traded, and he hopes the team can trade himself to a competitive team in the West. The Bulls have also decided to start a complete reconstruction, so in addition to Butler, they will also sell powerful players such as Wade and Rondo.
Thus, a deal between the Chicago Bulls and the Minnesota Timberwolves was concluded. From then on, Jimmy Butler no longer has to face Henson. The Timberwolves also formed a luxurious lineup of Towns + Wiggins + Butler. This deal will undoubtedly make the Western Conference next season even more interesting.
While the teams are making big moves, the defending champion Pacers has no news to mention.
Two of the few transfer news, it really can not raise the interest of the fans.
The transfer market just opened, Pacers veteran Channing Frye announced that he had signed a 2.4 million-year contract with the Cavaliers and left Indianapolis.
The two sides broke up peacefully. Frye thanked the Pacers for letting him win the championship, and the Pacers also thanked Frye for his contribution. Only after the Pacers had Antetokounmbo and Siakam and selected Kyle Kuzma, Frye knew that he would not get too important a position, so he chose to leave.
The Cleveland Cavaliers are still a team with the strength to win the championship, and they can also play on the court. This is the best choice for Frye.
The second news is that the Pacers renewed the best sixth man Victor Oladipo last season for a price of $84 million for four years, leaving him in Indianapolis.
There is no doubt that Oladipo has fully adapted to the Pacers system under Henson's training, and has never struggled again. And in this era when contracts are often hundreds of millions, Oladipo’s four-year 84 million is undoubtedly very cost-effective.
Oladipo's stay, so that Pacers fans cheered, but also disappointed other teams. But since people had long expected Oladipo to renew his contract, it was not a surprise.
"After the Pacers renewed Oladipo, next season, they will face the issue of Chris Paul and Paul George's renewal. At the same time they have two major contracts, Antetokounmpo and Oladipo. In the case of George and Paul, there is definitely only one person who can stay with the maximum salary. So next summer, the Pacers will be very entangled. But again, it will also be next year. This year, I think the Pacers may be There will be no more big moves."
After the renewal of Oladipo, even eSPN experts believe that the Pacers are likely to spend the entire summer in such a dull manner. George and Paul are renewed next year, enough for the Pacers to have a good time. It is rare to have a leisure time this summer. Why not do the defending champion?
However, Henson did not think so. When people thought the Pacers would not introduce new aid, he seriously considered how to strengthen the lineup to stabilize his dominance.
P.J. Tucker, a player who entered the league in 2006 but was not familiar with fans until the last two seasons, this year has also reached his contract year.
As a second-round show in 2006, Tucker's career trajectory was very bumpy. In just 17 games with the Raptors in his rookie season, he was brutally cut.
In the following years, Tucker's footprints spread all over the world. Israel, Greece, Italy, Germany... This tough player has appeared in basketball in different countries and regions, working hard for his NBA dream.
In the end, Tucker not only won the MVP and championship in Israel and Germany, but also developed a talent and perseverance!
So after returning to the NBA in 2012, Tucker began to gain a foothold in the league. He is not a star, nor is he the key to the outcome of the game. But at least people know that this guy is a courageous role player, and he will definitely not lose.
So this summer, Tucker received many offers from teams. But as far as Tucker is concerned, he has had enough of the days of losing without seeing the sun. This time, he wants to join a team that can win!
Now, there are two quotations that Tucker is focusing on. One is a three-year, $33 million contract offered by the Raptors. An average of 11 million U.S. dollars a year is a salary that Tucker never dreamed of before. The other contract is from Houston, and the offer is only 32 million for 4 years.
Normally, Tucker doesn't need to look at the Rockets offer. After all, the price of these two contracts is too far apart between 32 million in 4 years and 33 million in 3 years. In the NBA2K game, the Rockets can get only one result.
The other person thinks your offer is a shame and refuses to communicate with you.
But reality is often more magical than games. Faced with two offers that didn't seem to be considered, Tux thought about it, but was a little tangled. Because Houston has a feature that is very attractive to him-where he can win!
He is eager for honor and a championship. He dreams of entering the NBA, but not just to eat and wait to die, no one will remember him after twenty days of retirement.
Therefore, Tucker is ready to call his manager and ask him to sign with the Rockets.
But at this moment, Tucker's manager called first.
"How are you thinking about it?" The manager is straight to the point, after all, it is not just Tucker's contract that is busy now.
"Houston Rockets." Tucker also knows that everyone's time is very valuable, so there is no circumstance.
"Hmm... The Rockets' offer, to be honest, is too low. By the way, I received a new offer here. The price is still not as high as the Raptors, but it is much better than the Rockets. Most importantly The thing is, you can win there too."
"Oh?" Tucker suddenly became interested. "Which team."
"You might not believe it, it's the Indiana Pacers."
Tucker's head went blank after hearing the name "Indiana Pacers" in the handset.
Champions, honours, victories, extraordinary... all these things he wants are not synonymous with the Pacers?
