Maybe Henson's pit of the Timberwolves last year made Bird see the "businessman potential" in this Chinese. Henson is adept at using his intrigues to blind the judgment of others, and he knows very well that he must not let the other person know what he is thinking. That's why Bird brought Henson to the Bay Area, where he was prepared to learn how NBA teams negotiate with each other.

After all, the pit on the Timberwolves is just a small test, and the deception of the entire league is much more complicated than the draft.

And after being taken by the New York Knicks, Henson also understood the importance of keeping secrets. Golden State Warriors openly bid for Troy. Murphy, let the desire to shoot David. Lee's Knicks saw a business opportunity. So they took the lead in closing the trade with an All-Star version of Murphy, and now they have plenty of room to maneuver with the Nuggets. Anthony and Stoudemire, one of them is definitely going to settle in New York City.

Although the plan to blackmail the Warriors was ruined by the addition of the Knicks, Henson was not discouraged. After this experience, Henson found that he seemed to have found a new world.

Drafts, trades, cheating, reinforcements...... Henson sipped a cigar and looked out his window at the empty streets. When he was a scout and assistant coach before, Henson hadn't figured it out. After all, in the past few years, the Pacers have basically relied on drafts to strengthen their strengths, and there have been no major trades or signings in the summer. But now Henson is happening, and the offseason is a fun and complicated game, and sometimes even he has to go all out with that genius brain.

Compared to the draft, Henson doesn't have access to a data analytics module for trades and signings. No, to be exact, it was possible to get help, but Henson hadn't chosen that kind of reward before.

In the past, Henson had more than once had the opportunity to choose rewards that increased the success rate of transactions and signings, but he didn't need them at that time, so he didn't choose the corresponding medal.

A little over a month ago, when Henson achieved the achievement of "becoming the team's head coach", he was once again met with a badge that increased the success rate of trade negotiations, but in the end he chose the team's tacit understanding first-class medal, which has the effect of permanently canceling the impact of 10% of negative events on the team's tacit understanding.

Henson was just starting to become head coach at the time, so it was only natural that he wanted stability and harmony in the dressing room of his team. If it's all like when O'Brien was in charge, the team can't play even if they have the best players.

But even without the help of the data analytics module, Henson came back from the Bay Area with several reinforcement plans in mind. He collects news from the transfer market every day, and with the help of Silas's network, Henson also gets a lot of inside information, and plans his reinforcement plan every day, and enjoys it.

Before the crossing, Henson was an avid player of NBA2K games. Henson's favorite thing to play is Dynasty Mode. As a general manager, you can build your own squad step by step and turn the belly team into a superpowerhouse.

Henson doesn't like to play the game himself, he just likes to build the lineup and then the game is simulated by the computer. In this way, Henson could think for hours at a time about the lifeless names and build the future of his team.

Now, Henson seems to have rediscovered the feeling he had when he was playing the game. But obviously, the reality is much more complicated than the game, after all, in the game you are dealing with just strips of data, and in reality every chip you have and the chips you want are real people.

Luckily, Henson now has an extremely smart mind that allows him to take all aspects of things into account.

This summer, Henson will need reinforcements in two main positions, center and point guard.

In the center position, Hibbert has been excellent, but his slow pace doesn't fit well with Henson's relatively fast-paced attacking style. On more than one occasion during the summer league, Hibbert had to run awkwardly on the court. A lot of times he's just past the halfway line and the team is already in attack.

While Hibbert was excellent on the defensive end, he didn't see anything wrong with Summer League. But if all 82 games of the regular season were played like this, Hibbert would definitely be smothered in his madness. Henson doesn't want to watch a good seedling fall because of an unsuitable system. It's not good for the team, it's not good for Hibbert personally.

And Hibbert's huge gap between the upper and lower limits suggests that Hibbert is likely to face a major injury or a decline in form. Maybe Hibbert will be good in the new season, but it's also likely that he won't be able to do it all. There are no errors in the data analysis module, and there are no errors in the upper and lower limit spans of the Hibbert C-A. Henson didn't want to be an A-level player, but because of the inappropriate system, he ended up in a C-class.

Also having this problem is Daniel. Granger, but Granger is currently the leader of this team, and he also gets along very well with many of the team's young players. George recommended his manager, and the two were a perfect match. If Granger is moved, it will undoubtedly be a fatal blow to the atmosphere in the team's dressing room. So even though the gap between Granger's upper and lower limits was equally large, Henson didn't dare to touch him. Even if Granger really doesn't work in the future, with him in the locker room, this team won't be messed up.

Weighing the disadvantages down, Roy is tall and full of potential. Hibbert was added to Henson's trade list. If Hibbert were to be traded, he would need a center forward who would be more suited to the team's system. Otherwise, the Pacers will have no center available for the new season.

As for the point guard position, with Earl. With Watson's departure, the only person on the Pacers who really plays point guard is Holiday alone. Although Deng Tai. Jones, Brandon. Rush and even Stephenson's bastard have the ability to play the No. 1 position, but Henson wants to be able to sign a qualified backup point guard just to be on the safe side.

Therefore, a center forward who can run and jump with range and a dedicated and experienced point guard are Henson's top picks in the transfer market this summer. He believes that as long as the team can find two players of this type, it should not be difficult for the Pacers to make the playoffs in the East this season.

Henson told Bird about the reinforcement plan, and Bird approved of it. Bird now trusts Henson immensely, and if it weren't for that trust, he wouldn't have taken such a big risk to have Henson as the head coach.

Recently, it seems that a large consortium is preparing to enter the Pacers and get a share of the shares. Bird has been busy with this lately, and he doesn't have much energy to care about reinforcements. Therefore, Bird handed over the reinforcement to Henson. He drafted the plan, and after Byrd approved it, formal negotiations began.

However, a few days passed, and there was no progress on Henson's reinforcements. Now the whole league is discussing the composition of the Heat Big Three, the whole league is concerned about whether Yao Ming will stay with the Rockets, and the whole league is waiting for the finale of the "serial" drama of Anthony and the Knicks. In these big deals, Henson couldn't find much valuable information.

Today, as always, Henson is keeping an eye on what's happening in the transfer market. Among them, the exaggerated figure of 120 million attracted Henson's attention.

The Hawks used a six-year, $123 million contract to bring "singles king" Joe. Johnson stayed in Atlanta. There's no doubt that this is a mega-contract, and the Hawks have all but locked up their manoeuvring space for this contract, unless someone is willing to take over the $120 million super-contract in the future.

But the Hawks had no choice but to do so, and the free agent market had just opened, and teams such as the Mavericks, Rockets, and Bulls had launched a campaign against Joe. Johnson's chase, and Joe. Johnson even completed a meeting with the Mavericks and the Rockets.

In order to keep their star in the house, the only thing the Eagles can do is throw money at it. If they can't keep Joe. Johnson, then in the East, the Hawks can't get past the Heat. And the only way to keep Johnson is this big contract of 120 million. After all, in this alliance now, the word "loyalty" is simply worthless.

Joe. Johnson's sky-high contract is amazing, and then count Josh. Smith, Mike. Bibby, Hinrich, and Marvin. Williams and others, the Eagles have spent about sixty or seventy million salary space.

And just a few days ago, the Thunder signed Durant with an early extension on a five-year, $86 million contract. But in the class of '07, the performance was second only to Durant's Al . Horford, however, has not been news of an early contract extension.

The reason is simple, the Hawks are running out of space for Horford! Perhaps now, the negotiations between the two sides are at a stalemate.

If the Pacers go in and stir things up at this time, will they get any benefit? After all, the Pacers' salary space is incomparably more generous right now. They can offer Horford room to renew his contract early and also have decent chips to trade.

Henson immediately picked up the phone and called Bird and Silas. It's time to use their basketball connections to figure things out......
