The Basketball Court Swordsman

The Indiana Pacers signed P.J. Tucker, which caused no more attention except that Morey was very irritable.

Although Tucker now has a firm foothold in the league, his status in the entire league is really insignificant.

Moreover, these days, there are so many other transfer news that are more exciting than this, and the fans are dumbfounded.

First of all, the Warriors, in order to get revenge next season, they used a five-year 201 million NBA highest price contract to keep Stephen Curry in Oakland.

In the past few years, after carrying a contract with a child labor cabbage price for the team to win the championship, the Warriors owner's actions this year did not mean to treat Curry at all.

He handed Curry a five-year, 201 million contract with the largest amount in history in the eyes of much-anticipated. While making Curry feel respected, he also kept the team's future lifeline.

However, after the Warriors signed Curry for 200 million in 5 years, Durant was to ease the burden on the team. In the case of being able to sign a contract with a starting salary of 35 million, in order to allow the boss to pay less luxury tax, he actively chose to sign a 1+1 contract with the team, of which the first-year salary was only 25 million US dollars.

To establish a championship team, someone has to make concessions. Durant became the one who made concessions this summer. For him now, the championship is the biggest obsession. Running to cling to the team results in not even a championship, Durant will not be reconciled.

So even if you take less money, Durant has to complete the Warriors lineup.

In addition, Iguodala and Livingston have already completed contract extensions with the Warriors. While retaining the core members of last season's finals, the Warriors also won "Israel Jordan" Cassby and Nick Young, who was in fire because of the emoji and pretending failure. There is no doubt that the strength of the Warriors will increase next season.

In addition, the Spurs took Rudy Gay just as Henson had heard. The Nuggets won Millsap with a three-year 90 million contract, and the East has one less All-Star player.

It can be seen that all Western teams are actively preparing to fight the Warriors. The same thing is actively happening in the East, but it is the Pacers that the East teams need to fight against.

The Celtics finally held back their big move. After selecting Jason Tatum, they announced on July 5 that they had signed the Jazz star Gordon Hayward for four years at a price of $128 million.

While people were still imagining what spark could be produced by Hayward and "The Strongest on the Surface 175" Thomas, Danny Angie announced that Kelly Irving and Isaiah Thomas would switch teams!

As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused a heated discussion. After all, Isaiah Thomas has worked hard for the Celtics and has become a representative and spiritual leader of the Celtics. And the trade of star players between two direct competitors is unprecedented.

But now whenever he has a chance, Danny Angie can't wait to sell Thomas. In other words, even though Isaiah Thomas ranked third in the MVP list last season, Danny Angie never believed in Thomas’ talent.

His height of 1.75 meters makes it difficult for Danny Angie to accept. Now that the Cavaliers have such an intention, Angie once again made a cold-blooded decision.

In this way, the Celtics formed a luxurious lineup of Horford + Hayward + Owen. Coupled with their wise young coach Stevens, next season's Celtics will undoubtedly cause huge trouble for Henson.

On the other hand, the actions of the Cleveland Cavaliers are not small. After defeating the Pacers last season, James knew he needed more help.

After the team acquired Isaiah Thomas, Wade announced to join the Cavaliers with a $2.3 million one-year contract...

No one thought that Wade, who was the first one of the "Four Heroes" to win the championship ring, would actually end up in this field now. What is the concept of 2.3 million a year? This salary level is the same as Channing Frye.

But James and Wade's rejoining in Cleveland undoubtedly made fans very excited. How big a storm can "Jianwei Connection" set off in Cleveland? Everyone is looking forward to it.

But, except Henson.

Because even during the Heat, "Jianwei Connection" did not cause trouble to the Pacers. What's more, is it Wade now?

After Wade, Derrick Rose, who failed to resurrect in New York, announced that he would join the Cavaliers with a one-year contract of $2.1 million. Well, a lower price than Wade.

Seeing these two contracts between Wade and Rose, people can't help feeling that life is impermanent.

Once, Wade and Rose were so beautiful. But one was abandoned by the parent team because of his age, and the other was abandoned by the parent team because of injuries.

Now, these two defenders who were once the most popular in the league can only survive on the basic salary of a veteran. Of course they can sign a bigger contract, but for the championship, they can only compromise.

But having said that, the lineup of Thomas + Wade + Rose + James Jr. still gave the Clevelands unlimited imagination.

But Henson was not fooled. If this lineup appeared five or six years ago, then the Cavaliers would have a proper championship. But now it's 2017, are Wade and Rose really big players?

This lineup is probably a typical representative whose reputation is greater than strength.

In this way, the chaos of the summer of 2017 has temporarily come to an end. Henson didn't expect the Cavaliers and Celtics to swap star players, nor did he expect James to have such a powerful appeal.

Compared with these transfer news, the Pacers signing P.J. Tucker is really nothing worth talking about.

But the Pacers are the league champions after all. Even if they don't make major changes, they are still the best team in the league.

What Henson fears most now is that major changes take the initiative to come to them... Hopefully next summer, no one will come to trouble Chris Paul.

At this time, what Bird cares most about is not the renewal of Paul and George next summer, but the idea of ​​Henson's retirement.

"Is there really no room for negotiation?" In early August, when Henson and his wife and daughter were preparing to travel to Europe, Bird once again discussed Henson's work plan.

"I have decided to go, Bird. But don't worry, I will do my best for the next two seasons!"

Hearing Henson's answer, Bird didn't ask anything more. In the future, he won't ask anything again. He is the president of basketball operations for the Pacers, but he can't force the people on his team to do anything.

And looking at the calendar, it is now 2017! Unconsciously, the 21st century will usher in its third decade.

Looking at the current alliance, Bird is already very strange. Henson leaves again, what is left of him in this league?

That Chinese coach is his last pride.

"Well, I respect your choice. And I think..." Byrd looked at his hands. He had never thought of such a thing before, but he considered it very seriously today.

"I think if you really want to retire, then I'll retire too. I can't believe it, I'm in my 60s... life, it's like a speeding car at the Indy 500. "

"Hahahaha, you're right. But at the Indy 500, we will always be the leader car." Henson smiled, he understood Bird's choice. He is in his 60s and Bird has been playing basketball almost his entire life. It's also time to change a lifestyle.

"Yes, we will always be Pacers!"

The two men looked at each other and smiled. Although they are about to leave, they still want to continue to lead in the last "two laps" of the game!
