Kobe Bryant and Henson's achievements off the basketball court have people talking about it, and some people have a ruined life after their NBA careers, and bankruptcy or something is commonplace. But some people will become better and better.

And Henson has not yet quit the NBA, he has already found a way out of the basketball court. If so, what coach would want to work on the basketball court until he gets throat cancer and gray hair?

Clearly, Henson had the right to choose his own life.

However, the rise of the BodyArmor sports drink was only a few days before it was quickly forgotten by basketball fans. Because in July, it indicates that the most lively transfer market is about to usher in a lot of big moves.

The transfer market has just opened, and the Los Angeles Lakers, led by "Magic", have begun to do things.

They traded away D'Angelo, the former core of the team. Russell, who traded him to the Nets, just to be able to dispose of Mozgov's garbage contract and free up salary space by the way.

No one expected the "Magic" to be so decisive, after all, Russell has been a rookie that the Lakers have focused on developing in the past two years. And the "magician" is actually in Lonzo. Ball also traded away Russell, who was in the same position as him, without a fight, which shows that "The Magic" wants to correct Ball's determination.

Johnson's determination is likely to be a lesson learned from the loss of the draft. He knows very well that if he wants to be greedy for everything, he may end up with nothing.

Therefore, the "Magic" did not continue to grind with the Nets and decisively completed the deal.

Equally decisive were the Atlanta Hawks, whose poor playoff performance last season made them lose patience with Howard. So at the beginning of the transfer market, Dwight . Howard, the former league's No. 1 center, was traded again.

Howard still hasn't stopped his downward trend last season, and although he still averaged 12.7 rebounds and 63.3% shooting per game, he only averaged 13.5 points per game, far from the presence of the No. 1 center that year. Not only that, but Howard had fewer balls in the playoffs and even more dismal stats. There is no doubt that such Howard will not be able to meet the expectations of the Hawks for him.

If it had been five or six years ago, Howard's trade would have been seismic and would have directly changed the league's landscape.

But this year, fans have shown no other emotions about Howard's trade than lamenting the impermanence of life. After all, the current "Warcraft" is no longer the one who can be replaced by LeBron. James' superstar too.

Howard's trade is no longer heavyweight, but the heavyweight trade came quickly and didn't keep fans waiting too long. After Howard, former Pacers champion and current Bulls guard Jimmy Brown. Butler got his wish and was traded to a more competitive team away from the Pacers.

Last season, the Bulls were swept by the Pacers in both the regular season and the playoffs, with a cumulative 0-8 record. There is no doubt that Jimmy. Butler believes that as long as Henson remains, there is no hope for the East.

As a result, Butler has long expressed his desire to be traded, hoping that the team can trade him to a competitive team in the West. And the Bulls have also decided to start a complete rebuild, so in addition to Butler, they will also fire off the likes of Wade and Rondo.

Thus, the deal between the Chicago Bulls and the Minnesota Timberwolves was struck. From then on, Jimmy. Butler doesn't have to face Henson anymore. And the Timberwolves have also formed a luxury lineup of Towns + Wiggins + Butler, and this transaction will undoubtedly make the West more interesting next season.

At a time when teams are making big moves, the defending champion Pacers have nothing to say.

The few two transfer news really didn't arouse the interest of fans.

The transfer market has just opened, and Pacers veteran Channing. Frye announced that he had signed a one-year, $2.4 million contract with the Cavaliers and left Indianapolis.

The two sides parted peacefully, with Frye thanking the Pacers for letting him win the championship, and the Pacers thanking Frye for his contribution. It's just that the Pacers have Antetokounmpo and Siakam, and they drafted Kyle. After Kuzma, Frye knew he wouldn't get too much of an important position, so he chose to leave.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are still a championship-winning team and can play on the court themselves, which is the best option for Frye.

The second news is that the Pacers have signed last season's Sixth Man of the Year Victor for four years and $84 million. Oladipo, who left him in Indianapolis.

There's no doubt that Oladipo has fully adapted to the Pacers' system under Henson's tutelage and has never struggled again. And in this era when contracts are hundreds of millions at every turn, Oladipo's 4-year 84 million is undoubtedly very cost-effective.

Oladipo's stay made Pacers fans cheer and disappointed other teams. But it was not a surprise that Oladipo had long been expected to renew his contract.

"After the Pacers re-signed Oladipo, next season, they will also face Chris. Paul and Paul. George's contract renewal issues. With two big contracts at the same time, Antetokounmpo and Oladipo, George and Paul, there must be only one person who can stay with the highest salary. So next summer, it's going to be very tangled for the Pacers. But no matter how tangled it is, that's next year, and this year, I don't think the Pacers will make any more big moves. ”

After renewing Oladipo's contract, even ESPN experts believe that the Pacers are likely to spend the whole summer like this. Renewing George and Paul next year will be enough for the Pacers to have a good time. It's been a rare summer to spare, so why not be the defending champion?

However, Henson doesn't think so, and when people thought that the Pacers would not bring in new signings, he was seriously thinking about how to strengthen the roster to solidify his supremacy.

P.J. Tucker, a player who entered the league in 2006 but wasn't familiar to fans until the last two seasons, is in his contract year this year.

As a 2006 second-round pick, Tucker's career trajectory has been bumpy. After playing just 17 games with the Raptors in his rookie season, he was brutally cut.

In the years that followed, Tucker traveled all over the world. Israel, Greece, Italy, Germany...... This resilient player has appeared in basketball in different countries and regions, working hard for his NBA dream in his heart.

In the end, Tucker not only won the MVP and championship in Israel and Germany, but also developed a skill and perseverance!

So after returning to the NBA in 2012, Tucker began to establish himself in the league. He's not a star, and he's not the key to winning a game. But at least people know that this guy is a role player who dares to fight, and he will definitely not lose if he signs it.

So this summer, Tucker received a lot of offers from teams. But for Tucker, he's fed up with losing all the time. This time, he wants to join a team that can win!

Now, there are two offers that Tucker is focusing on. One is a three-year, $33 million contract offered by the Raptors. With an average of $11 million a year, that's a salary Tucker never dreamed of before. The other contract is from Houston, with an offer of only 32 million for four years.

Normally, Tucker doesn't have to look at the Rockets' offer at all. After all, 32 million for 4 years and 33 million for 3 years, the price of these two contracts is really too different. In NBA2K games, the Rockets can get only one result.

The other person perceives your offer as a humiliation and refuses to communicate with you.

But reality is often more magical than games. Faced with two seemingly unconsidered offers, Tuckers thought about it, but was a little entangled. Because there's one thing that appeals to him in Houston – he can win there!

He is hungry for glory, he is hungry for championships. He dreams of entering the NBA, but he doesn't just come to eat and wait for death, and no one will remember him twenty days after he retires.

As a result, Tucker was ready to call his manager and ask him to sign with the Rockets.

But at this moment, Tucker's manager was the first to call.

"How's it going?" The manager got straight to the point, after all, he didn't have Tucker's contract alone to keep busy.

"Houston Rockets." Tucker also knows that everyone's time is very valuable, so he doesn't beat around the bush.

"Hmm...... The Rockets' offer, to be honest, was too low. By the way, I got a new offer here, and the price is still not as high as the Raptors, but it's a lot better than the Rockets. The most important thing is that you can win the game even if you go there. ”

"Oh?" Tucker suddenly became interested, "Which team." ”

"You may not believe it, it's the Indiana Pacers."

Tucker's head went blank when he heard the name "Indiana Pacers" come out of the phone receiver.

Champions, honors, victories, extraordinary...... Aren't all these things he wants synonymous with the Pacers?
