Chapter 636 634: Are we serious?
It was a sunny day in early July.Although almost a month has passed since the NBA Finals, fans are still excited.

If the NBA Finals is only about the fate of two teams, then the offseason transfers are about the fate of all teams in the league.Therefore, the fans of the 30 teams in the league will be very excited these days, always hoping that their home team can make some big news.

Pacers fans are no exception. Since Chris Paul left, they look forward to the team every day to strengthen the lineup.A few days ago, the news that the Pacers signed Rondo made the fans cheer.Although Rondo is not as versatile as Paul, he is indeed the most suitable point guard for the Pacers in this year's free agent market.

And early this morning, Pacers fans got the latest news again.

"Derrick Rose is about to join the Pacers? Woj: The two sides will officially sign the contract within two days!"

“Indianapolis, next stop for Windy Roses!”

"BJ Armstrong: A preliminary agreement has been reached with the Pacers. Rose will definitely wear a corn yellow jersey next season. The specific contract amount is not disclosed."

"The youngest MVP helps Henson, and the Pacers will be supplemented at the No. [-] position!"

After all, beyond Henson's expectations, the news that Rose joined the Pacers actually caused such a big sensation.After all, Ross is just an ordinary professional player now.No one still expects him to be able to play at the MVP level that year.

However, Rose's fan base is always there.Moreover, most people will always feel sorry for a player like Rose who has fallen due to injuries.Therefore, fans are very hopeful that he can start again with a good team.

Now, the wishes of the fans have been fulfilled, so the Pacers are inexplicably popular again.

"I can't believe that the biggest enemy of the Pacers is now a member of the Pacers!"

"Derrick Rose + Henson Joe? This is a very interesting combination. Let's see whether Thibodeau will use Rose more or Henson Joe will use Rose more."

"Rose joined the Pacers, which always makes me feel weird. If it was placed in the 90s, it would be like Payton suddenly joining the Bulls with Jordan. But this summer, too many unreasonable things have happened."

The fact that Rose joined the Pacers not only made fans talk about it, but also caused extensive discussions among experts from all walks of life.

Some people are optimistic about this matter, but also some people are not optimistic about it.

Some people believe that the Pacers chose to sign Rose just to fill the lineup, and did not expect Rose to play well.

Some people believe that the Pacers are likely to cut Rose in the middle of the season, because they will find that Rose is not useful at all.

But no matter how suspicious the media were, Henson was indifferent.What he is sure of is that he will not sign any redundant players!

Just the day after Rose officially signed with the Pacers, the youngest ever MVP sent a text message to Henson.

"Training has started, everything is OK."

Just one sentence made Henson smile knowingly.Rose will eventually disappear into the sea of ​​people?Put his mother's fart!
So far, Henson's reinforcement plan this summer has come to an end.He can finally put down the scouting reports and game videos in his hands, and spend a good vacation with his family.

The signing of the Pacers is over, but other teams in the league are still not idle.Especially, those teams that really want to crush the Pacers
※※※

This summer, there was a big guy who had just been selected as an All-Star last season and was forgotten in the corner.

He thought that there would be a large number of teams coming to him with a maximum salary.However, the reality is very cruel.Because of his injuries, most teams avoided him.

Los Angeles Lakers?Don't they want to win?Don't they want to find a partner for James?Why are they indifferent?
New Orleans Pelicans, have they forgotten how much fun they had with Anthony Davis last season?Don't they remember Davis playing in his jersey at the All-Star Game?They are good buddies!
But looking at the empty yard and the unresponsive cell phone, no one came to his house to beg him to stay, and he didn't have any team general manager to contact him.It was as if he was suddenly forgotten by the whole world, in this small house.

He continued to wait until eleven o'clock in the evening.However, like every day before, he didn't receive a single offer!

After all, the injury that plagued him last season was a ruptured Achilles tendon.Moreover, he will not be able to return to the court until January of the following year.Most teams dare not take the risk of signing him.

Besides, in the eyes of most teams, he is still a "brain abnormal" thorn.These factors have repeatedly reduced his value in the free agent market!
He was disappointed. Looking at the big house he just found in New Orleans, he fell into deep disappointment.

He always thought he'd stay with the Pelicans, and even back in June, he was house hunting in New Orleans.He's proud of the way his players played, sweeping the Blazers and giving the Warriors a lot of trouble.In that playoff round, he never wanted to play so much, and he was still proud of the Pelicans.

But he found that he had not heard any news about the Pelicans.He suddenly understood that business is sometimes so cruel, and the business field is really not a place where one can act emotionally.

Anger, disappointment, and anxiety made him clenched his fists, and then made a decision that was almost revenge on society.

If you look down on me, then I will kill you all!
He picked up the phone and called his manager.He didn't want to wait any longer, but planned to take the initiative!

"Give me the number of the general manager of the Warriors."

"Warriors?" the manager repeated in bewilderment.

"Yes, Golden State Warriors!" he responded firmly.

"You may not understand, DeMarcus, the Warriors have no salary space, and they can't give you a maximum salary contract."

"Then sign the middle class, or sign the basic salary if it doesn't work!" The man named DeMarcus roared angrily.

"What!" Cousins' manager was stunned. He was a super center who could score 25+12 last season!It is no exaggeration to say that he is the number one center in the active league!

However, he is willing to join the Golden State Warriors with a basic salary or a middle-class price?
He knew Cousins ​​was always a maverick, but he didn't expect him to be so crazy!
"I don't care, man. I just want the world to see if I'm going to play! I'm going to come back this season full of blood and look back in a year and I know it's going to be the best decision I've ever made."

A decision of a retaliatory social nature was finalized in this way.

While he was in the evening, Warriors general manager Bob Myers got a call.He faced the phone receiver and asked the other party five times in a row: "Are we serious?"

Because he thought it was just a prank.

But half an hour later, Miles swallowed.He knew that tomorrow the NBA would explode.

Henson got up early and began to pack his luggage.Since the Pacers' summer signings are basically over, Henson will also seize the last bit of time and join in a trip.

Traveling is almost Henson's favorite thing.It's not that he can give so much meaning to travel, but travel can always make Henson leave work troubles.

As long as others are in the United States, he can't help but work.So the best thing to do is stay away from America, stay away from Indianapolis.

After packing, Henson turned on the TV, switched to ESPN, and began listening to the morning sports news while making mornings for his wife and daughter.

Henson used to not know how to cook, but after he got married, he could more or less make simple breakfasts.After a man has a family, he will grow up somewhat.

On TV, the morning sports news began reporting the latest NBA transfer news.Henson, who was humming a little tune and frying eggs, suddenly stopped what he was doing, and then froze in place.

He looked at the time, today is not April Fool's Day!So what the news says is true! ?
"According to the latest news we have received, Pelicans All-Star center DeMarcus Cousins ​​will join the Golden State Warriors with a mid-level contract. The Warriors' super lineup has officially taken shape. Next season, they will go straight to the championship!"

Henson swallowed, the Warriors played too much!His path to the dynasty has also become more and more difficult.
