LeBron. James believes the Pacers are still going strong after losing Paul. But other teams don't believe in this, the arms race continues, and both the East and West seem to see hope of winning the championship.

This summer, even the Spurs, who have always kept a low profile, have not been idle.

Leonard, who had a complete falling out with the Spurs, swapped owners with Raptors star DeRozan, which was also the most embarrassing transfer for Henson after James' transfer to the Lakers.

Kawaii. Leonard, who used to be so reticent, would never have been able to find him with any trade rumors. And the San Antonio Spurs, they're used to GDP-style unity, and they always think that Leonard and Aldridge are the next GDP combination.

But that's just wishful thinking on the part of Spurs fans, Leonard is not GDP, and he is not obligated to be the GDP of Spurs. So, again, just like when I left Indianapolis. Leonard left the Spurs because of salary issues.

With Leonard leaving, Ginobili retired, and Tony Brown. Parker joined the Hornets, and the myth of the Spurs' unbroken was finally shattered.

There is no such thing as a feast, and not even the San Antonio Spurs are immune to this law.

And after Leonard joined the Raptors, Henson was instantly worried about his situation next season. James, who finally said goodbye, had to fight with Leonard......

Although he and Leonard have a good personal relationship, Leonard still enjoys his career as a Pacer. But on the basketball court, there's no camaraderie to talk about. Henson believes that the addition of Leonard will make a big difference to the Raptors next season.

No one knows that guy's strength better than Henson. After all, he was "carved" by Henson himself. I don't know if Henson regrets that he carved Leonard too perfectly.

Leonard's joining the Raptors made Henson a little nervous. He is also clear that he must now find a player who can replace Paul. Otherwise, the Pacers really won't be able to find a point guard in the new season.

But looking at the free agent market this summer, there aren't many point guards to choose from.

Spanish veteran Jose. Calderon? He was certainly on par with Paul in terms of experience, but only in terms of experience. Defensively, scoring and otherwise, Calderon couldn't satisfy Henson.

Little Thomas? If three or four years ago, Henson would have chased Thomas Jr. with all his might. Stevens can put Thomas Jr. well, and Henson believes he can too. But Thomas Jr. had a terrible performance last season due to a hip injury.

Therefore, Henson is reluctant to put Po on a former star point guard who doesn't know how good or bad he is.

Seth. Curry is good, and he really looks like his brother when he pulls up three-pointers occasionally. But Henson needs a playmaking point guard, not a scoring point guard. The task of scoring is left to George and Antetokounmpo.

German. Harris? It's not very useful anymore. Dennis. Schroeder? Henson had no chips. Shabazz. Napier? How so? It's too ordinary.

After looking around, only former Celtics star point guard Rajan. Rondo fits Henson's requirements.

Rondo's playmaking skills and defensive ability can basically fill the void left by Paul. But Rondo, who is not very good at shooting, cannot meet Henson's large-space offensive play. To be honest, if Rondo is in charge, Henson is still a little uneasy.

For a moment, Henson was in a tangle. He admits it was the hardest summer he's ever experienced. Even the summer he had just returned, Henson didn't find it so difficult.

And in the transfer market, you can't think slowly. When you think about it, the good players are all snatched away by others.

So, Henson didn't hesitate any longer. He gave Larry. Bird called and motioned for him to contact Rajan. Rondo.

While it's likely that Rondo won't start next season, having such an experienced head control player will always come in handy. Henson would rather sign him first than have no one available at a critical moment.

"Henson, take a break, you've been in front of the computer for an afternoon."

Angeli walked into the study with a cup of tea, and Henson smiled at his wife, then rubbed his temples.

"I don't want to work all the time, but I have to be on the free agent market 24 hours a day. Reinforcement Program ...... It's a lot more troublesome than I thought. Henson took a sip of tea, he really didn't want to be immersed in work during the holidays, but he couldn't help it.

"Take a break and change your mood. Maybe you'll suddenly have a clue. ”

"Well, let's go, let's go out for a walk as a family." Henson smiled and nodded, he certainly didn't expect to have a clue. It's just that I want to spend some time with my family.

In the afternoon, walking along the artificial lake in Carmel District, Henson's mind was still thinking about recruitment.

Rajan. It's best if Rondo can come. But Rondo's current strength may be a bit difficult to be the master of a championship team. Sometimes Henson is a little envious of the "Magic" guy, although he is leading the Lakers, as long as the Lakers make a little progress, the "Magic" is successful.

Henson is different, next season is his last, and if he doesn't win the title, it means defeat......

Magician, magician...... 2.06 meters, but playing point guard, what a fucking talent.

Wait a minute? A 2.06m point guard? Oh, yes!

Henson patted his head and found that he was the best at breaking the rules, but he was limited by his inherent thinking! Who says point guard has to be a small guard? As long as you have the ability to pass and control, as long as you can read the game, you can play point guard!

What's more, the Pacers have never been a team that has relied on Paul in particular. Therefore, it is not impossible to survive without the main control. Relying on the original system, the Pacers' offense can also be deployed!

In the 80s, Pat. Riley used "Magic" as a point guard, and Riley said at the time that the distinction between positions on the basketball court would be very blurred in the future. How did you come to yourself and think old-fashioned?

Last season, the 76ers played Simmons as point guard, and Henson thought it was a very good choice. The Warriors' point guard is Curry on the surface, but he is actually Draymond. Green's big mouth.

Big man plays point guard, that kind of thing happened in the '80s. Now that the 21st century is about to usher in its third decade, why not let a big man play point guard?

"Sure enough, going out for a walk improves your thinking." As he walked, Henson suddenly raised an eyebrow at Angeli.

Henson then picked up the phone and called Bird.

"Damn, I just got in touch with Rajan. Rondo. Is it okay to have some patience? It's been less than two hours since you last called me, and there's no way I'm going to sign a player in two hours! As soon as the phone was connected, Bird exploded on the spot.

It can be seen that this basketball operations chairman is in the same hurry as Henson at this time.

"I'm not calling you, Bird. Rondo's affairs, you can do it slowly, let's not rush. ”

"Huh?" Bird looked confused, and he really didn't know who was in the most anxious just now.

"I've got a point guard for next season, Bird."

"Who? Don't tell me it's Rajan. Rondo, this kind of joke is too boring too. ”

"No, next season, I'm going to play Antetokounmpo in the number one position."

Henson smiled as he finished speaking, and Bird, on the other end of the phone, had an "O" shaped mouth. For some reason, he suddenly remembered his old rival as a professional player, the guy known as "The Magician".

Henson. Joe, that bastard, always has some crazy ideas coming to him.
