The Basketball Court Swordsman

The NBA Finals has ended, and the final ownership of the NBA championship has ended.

At the beginning of the season, most people felt that even if Henson returned, the Pacers would still be unable to compete with the "Space Warriors". Just thinking about the lineup of Curry + Clay + Durant + Green makes the scalp numb.

But Henson's achievements this season fulfilled the NBA's most classic slogan: "A miracle happens here."

However, in the past, the NBA's popularity will always have a low point after the end of the season. But this year, even after the finals, fans can still get a lot of news about the NBA.

First of all, it is natural that the Pacers held a championship parade that hit the country. There is no doubt that Stephen Simon and Vivek have invested astronomical amounts of money for this championship parade, and they are talked about by people.

And the scale of the parade this time is not inferior to the season when the Pacers established the dynasty. Of course, what makes the Pacers fans the most happy is that Henson did not suddenly announce his retirement in the final speech, which undoubtedly made all the Pacers fans a big breath.

Everyone knows that as long as Henson Joe is still there, victory will always be with Indianapolis.

After the championship parade, the NBA draft and the lively transfer market followed. And this summer, Adam Xiao Hua also prepared an NBA awards ceremony night for the fans.

In previous years, the NBA will successively announce the winners of the major awards after the regular season, and award various trophies during the playoffs.

Although this method of awarding is time-sensitive, it has no sense of ceremony. Even the awarding of important awards such as MVP was done on the spot.

In order to make the NBA more commercial, but also to allow the NBA's influence to continue to expand during the offseason. This year, for the first time, the NBA used an award ceremony to announce the ownership of regular season awards. At the awards ceremony, celebrities and superstars from all walks of life were also invited to help.

So this summer, the NBA is extremely lively. But Henson himself is not very interested in any award ceremony. After the championship, the most important honor, has been decided, it will be a little uninteresting to watch other awards.

Now Henson is not thinking about how to show up at the awards ceremony, but about how to continue to "swindle and cheat" in the draft.

Before the start of the draft, Henson set himself a small goal, first earn him 100 million... No, at least take Kyle Kuzma.

Although the 2017 draft is considered a draft year, the well-known high-potential rookies, Henson is beyond reach. After all, the Pacers are a championship-level team, and championship-level teams usually don't have too high picks.

Of course, there are exceptions to this year's draft, and that is the Boston Celtics coached by Henson's old friend.

The Celtics, as a force that cannot be ignored in the Eastern Conference, actually owns the No. 1 pick, which is indeed a very rare thing.

But all of this must be "owed" to the stupidity of former Nets general manager Billy King. If it weren't for Billy King, where would the Celtics come with so many high-draft picks.

The Nets have been helping the Celtics every season, and it can be described as the contemporary "livelihood" of the NBA.

Sometimes Henson was a little envious of Stevens, why did he run into Billy King's stupid?

The day before the draft started, Henson took Stephen Silas into the hotel. The Pacers' draft team is very simple, with Henson and Silas. Bird, Vivek and Stephen Simon all did not attend.

Because they know very well that they will give the draft to Henson without any loss. In the hotel, Henson and Silas also studied this year's draft roster.

Because he was busy playing in the finals, and now Henson had to reduce working hours for the sake of his body, Henson’s understanding of this year’s rookies was actually very average, and he did not even participate in joint trials. So there are many players, Henson can only rely on scout reports to understand.

From the very beginning, Silas introduced Henson to some of the "favorites" of this year's draft.

"Although the draft has not yet started, the top three picks have basically been determined. The number one pick is likely to be Markel Fultz. This draft model is a guard for James Harden who is ready to land in the NBA. People are fantasizing about his bright future under Stevens."

"On the Lakers side, the scandal with Lonzo Ball has never stopped. Ball's draft template is Kidd, but his three-pointer shooting rate in college is very gratifying. Although his shooting posture... ...Uh, it's hard to say."

"The third overall pick is a bit controversial. It seems that Jason Tatum and Josh Jackson have a chance. Both are all-round forwards and both have great athleticism. It can be said that they are similar in style."

"Okay, okay, Stephen, don't say these geniuses make me drool. Let's not think about these people, just start outside the lottery zone." Henson waved his hand and interrupted Silas's speech.

In fact, it is not impossible for the Pacers to get a high draft pick. Through trading, nothing is impossible. Didn't Henson directly direct the operations such as the robbery of Paul and Oladipo?

But this summer, the Pacers did not have the conditions to complete the transaction.

First, Henson has no draft picks this year, and the only player in his hand who is willing to trade is Josh Richardson. Richardson has no place in the Pacers. Henson does not want to delay others, nor does he want his team to be occupied for nothing. Therefore, Richardson is the only player that Henson is willing to pay.

Second, Henson, the top pick in this year's draft, has no interest. It's useless for Fultz and Baldo to be good, because you can't expect a rookie to dominate the championship team. The growth of point guards requires the most time and ball power to accumulate. But in the Pacers, they don't have this condition.

As for Tatum and Josh Jackson, there are already George and Antetokounmpo, the most luxurious strikers in the league. Why are they struggling to trade them for?

Therefore, this year Henson's target person is very clear-an immediate combat power outside the lottery zone.

A player who can work quickly without worrying about not growing up.

"Well, I understand what you mean. Let's skip that bunch of geniuses and go directly to the topic. That is, the players who have the ability, the rank is not high, and have the opportunity to get, I recommend three. Louisville's Dono Wan Mitchell, Jarrett Allen from Texas and your favorite Kyle from the University of Utah, Kuzma."

"Well, now I am much clearer about the draft situation. Thank you, Stephen." Henson smiled, picked up the draft roster, and his eyes fell on Kyle Kuzma's name.

He is the only player Henson has seen with the data analysis module this year, and the only seedling with a bit of heart. Moreover, Kuzma is also the lowest among the three in predicting the overall position. This means that Kyle Kuzma is easier to get.

What's more, "Magic" Johnson is now in charge of the Lakers. Although Johnson is a great player, he is a rookie as a general manager. Moreover, the Lakers desperately need results, and the "Magic" welcomes all players who are helpful to the team.

It is easier to fool around with these eager psychology.

"Come on, Stephen, let's go to the cafe and make a call to a true legendary player." Thinking of this, Henson smiled, then threw the draft list aside and took out his cell phone.

"What? Do you have a plan?"

"There is a plan for a long time, but it was just decided whether or not to implement it. This time, we have to make a more complicated plan. I am afraid it will be difficult to fool others with the previous moves."

Listening to Henson's words, Silas looked dumbfounded. What is flicker? How did the commonplace matter of trading become tasteless when Henson said it?

But Silas wasn't worried at all, because he knew very well that this "stingy" Chinese coach was a man who could not suffer.

Everything he does will only make the Pacers better.

So this time, who is the hapless taker?

"Ah cut!" Irvin Johnson didn't know why, and suddenly sneezed.
