2016 was definitely the craziest summer in the NBA in the last two years.

On July 2, the NBA's summer transfer and signing window officially opened. At that time, each team will begin to "scourge" for their favorite players.

Just one day after the transfer market opened, NBA official website reporter David . Aldridge broke the news that the former Pacers' dynasty center Al Anderson. Horford will join the Celtics.

An hour later, Wojnarowski broke the news that Horford had agreed to a four-year contract with the Celtics worth a total of $130 million!

When Horford was traded to the Magic last season, it was assumed that he was doing so to get the last max contract of his career. And the Pacers' move is undoubtedly to stop losses. The move on both sides proved successful. Only the Orlando Magic has become the biggest wrongdoer.

They paid for Oladipo and only got a one-year tenure to Horford. It seems that this operation of the Magic team seems to be very brain-dead. But throughout the history of the NBA, have the Magic done fewer brain-dead things?

O'Neal, Howard, ...... They seem to have been born to nurture the stars of the game.

Speaking of Howard, this is another part of this summer's signing frenzy. Just one day before Horford announced his joining the Celtics, the former No. 1 center in the league, the former All-Star ticket king, and the man who was able to replace James alone, reached a three-year contract worth $70.5 million with the Atlanta Hawks.

Once, "Warcraft" tortured Henson's Horford to death in the playoffs. Now, however, Horford has been awarded a 100 million dollar contract. "Warcraft" can only choose to prove himself again in his hometown team.

Competitive sports, feng shui takes turns.

Other kinds of transactions are naturally very exciting. For example, the "Windy City Rose" Derek, who has been plagued by injuries. Ross was finally raised by Henson's own hands to raise Jimmy. Butler snatched the central position and had to leave New York.

Joaquin. Noah, along with Rose, is packed up in the Big Apple. Next season, the Knicks will challenge for the Eastern Conference title with a luxurious roster of Anthony Rose, Porzingis, and Noah.

Of course, the Bulls didn't get nothing either. After trading Rose, they signed Dwyan, a former top-five player in the league. Wade, and the guard Rajan, who used to be able to compete with Paul. Rondo.

Wade's outcast by the Heat made Pat . Riley was drowned in drooling by the fans. It turns out that sometimes the loyalty of the players is the only thing that comes in exchange for the team's gains. Everyone wished Wade a good performance in his hometown to slap Riley in the face, and Henson thought the same thing.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the Pacers were already full of talent on the outside, Henson might have chosen to sign Wade. Don't look at Wade, who has long lost the form of his youth, but in key moments and key games, the role of this type of veteran cannot be ignored.

In addition, there is the Mavericks who signed Harrison to a big contract. Barnes is the core of the team, and the news that Pau Gasol switched to the Spurs to pursue the championship is endless.

Of course, the scariest news this summer, and the transfer that made Henson angry and scolded, was still with Durant.

On July 4th, one of the league's top five players, super scorer Kevin . Durant announced that he had left the Oklahoma City Thunder, where he had played for 9 years, and chose to join the Golden State Warriors, who had just tied the Pacers' 73-win record last season!

ESPN then revealed the specific details of the contract, Durant will sign a two-year, 54.3 million contract with a player option for the second year. Well, another "Jamesian" 1 1 contract.

The Warriors' interest in Durant is not an overnight thing, and they have made long-term preparations in order to chase Durant with all their might.

It is said that after the Warriors lost to the Cavaliers in the Finals, Draymond. Green sent Durant a text message that read: "We need you." In other words, just one minute after the season, the Warriors were already pursuing Durant.

And Durant, who has always wanted to win a championship and can't stand Westbrook, undoubtedly can't resist such temptation.

The giants who have reached the Finals for two consecutive years have now formed the Big Four of "Durant-Curry-Thompson-Green", and they are immediately the favorites for next season's championship.

A terrifying team that had just won a championship and changed the league's style of play with 73 wins is now welcoming a top-five superstar in the league. Just thinking about it shows how terrible this is. It can be said that this is even more terrifying than when James, Wade and Bosh formed the Heat Big Three.

And Durant's behavior has also been questioned by many people.

In the season just ended, Durant's Thunder was defeated by the Warriors. And it didn't take long for Durant to "defect to the enemy".

If I can't beat you, I'll join you, and this kind of behavior will undoubtedly become a black spot in Durant's career for a lifetime.

"It's cheating!" When Henson learned the news, he was also very uneasy.

A large part of Henson's willingness to return is his desire to work with Steve. Cole's warriors wrestled their wrists. Originally, he thought that only Curry, Thompson, Green, and Iguodala's lineup was not invincible.

But now, the Warriors have also added a Durant. Even Henson felt the signing was too much.

"This league is crazy, Henson. You see, most teams have more than two stars. The Knicks have Rose, Anthony, Porzingis, and the Celtics have Horford, Thomas, and Jalen. Brown, the Bulls have Jimmy. Butler, Wade, and Rondo...... This is an era of national huddles, and the current NBA is very different from the NBA when we built a dynasty. ”

Bird is also very sentimental, in the '80s and '90s, everybody wanted to lead a team to great things. Most of the strong players play their own games, and each team has a representative.

And now, most of the strong players are willing to cooperate with each other, because they find it easier to win the championship trophy that way.

"yes, this alliance is fucking insane. Durant, a top-five player in the league, actually went to join a team that had just played the Finals...... We're going to have a lot to do next season, Bird. Henson looked at the news on his phone and pouted.

In this day and age, it's really difficult to win the championship......

In the past, Henson only needed to pass the Heat Big Three to basically win the championship. The too-immature Thunder and the too-aged Spurs have not caused much trouble for the Pacers.

And now, Henson's opponent is not just the Heat. A group of heroes in the east sharpen their knives, and even if they reach the finals, they will have to face warriors as tough as "space battleships".

Henson suddenly realized that he had chosen to return at the most difficult time.

In such a crazy context, the trade between the Pacers and the Nets did not cause much discussion.

Billy. Kim kept his promise to submit the transaction to the alliance for review on the day the market opened. On July 4, after Durant announced his joining the Warriors, the Pacers' deal with the Nets was officially reached.

Nets center Brooke. Lopez and Croatian goalscorer Bojan. Bogdanovic officially became a member of the Pacers, for which the Pacers sent Starki, Lavoy. Allen and Ellis three outside lines. In addition to that, there is a 2018 first-round pick.

However, in the context of Durant's joining the Warriors, no one cares about this seemingly painless deal.

But only Henson knows that the deal doesn't seem painful because he's adding puzzle players. Puzzle players are naturally not as high-profile as big stars.

Henson has already established a core lineup led by Paul, George and Antetokounmpo, with the Bandits as a substitute led by Oladipo. So, the Pacers won't change much in their core lineup.

Henson believes Antetokounmpo, who will grow up next season, and Oladipo, who will be liberated, will certainly be able to inject great strength into the Pacers.

So on this crazy summer day, Henson is just sneaking up on the top. The crazier the league, the greater Henson's desire to win the championship.

After complaining about the Durant trade, Henson immediately rushed back to his home in Merkel.

He was only so anxious, first, he was worried about his wife and daughter. Second, it's because Henson asked someone to go to his house for dinner today.

This guy played an indelible role in the three years when the Pacers built their dynasty, and although he then left because of money, it ended up outweighing.

And now, this guy finally has the idea of going home. Because of the head coach who admired and convinced him the most in the league, he is back.

Henson has said before that the team needs to add a few more like Lance. A jack-of-all-trades player like Stephenson who can play multiple positions.

If you're looking for this kind of player, why not just find Stephenson himself?

Tonight's dinner is sure to be interesting......
