클리블랜드가 앨런 헨더슨과 정식 계약했습니다.
<br>
계약 기간은 1년입니다. 이 선수는 지난 시즌이 7년간 4500만 달러짜리 계약의 마지막 해였죠.
<br>
지난 시즌 52게임에 출장, 평균 3.5득점 4.5리바운드를 기록했습니다.
<br>
이 선수의 문제점은 부상이 잦다는 것이죠. 한때는 촉망받던 파포였으나 부상으로 인해 호크스의 애물단지로 전락했었죠. 2004년에 제이슨 테리와 함께 댈러스로 트레이드됐었습니다.
<br>
안데르손 바레장이 시즌 초반 결장하기 때문에 헨더슨의 비중이 상당히 클 것으로 추측됩니다.

Cavs sign Alan Henderson

CLEVELAND (AP) -- Free agent forward Alan Henderson signed a one-year contract Saturday with the Cleveland Cavaliers, who added another veteran to support LeBron James in hopes of making the playoffs.
<br>
<br>
The 32-year-old Henderson spent last season with Dallas after playing nine seasons for the Atlanta Hawks.
<br>
<br>
``Alan is a proven veteran with playoff experience who will be a valuable asset to us on the floor and in the locker room,'' Cavs general manager Danny Ferry said. ``He can give us toughness and depth in the post.''
<br>
<br>
The Cavaliers will begin the season without forward Anderson Varejao, who dislocated his shoulder playing for Brazil at last month's world championships and recently had surgery.
<br>
<br>
``I'm happy to be here,'' Henderson said. ``I'm excited to work with the players, the coaches and the whole organization. Cleveland made some great moves this summer.''
<br>
<br>
Henderson is the fifth free agent to join the Cavaliers this summer. The club also signed guards Larry Hughes and Damon Jones, forward Donyell Marshall and re-signed center Zydrunas Ilgauskas.
<br>
<br>
In 78 games last season in Dallas, Henderson averaged 3.5 points and shot a career-high 52.7 percent. He also averaged 4.5 rebounds in 15.4 minutes.
<br>
<br>
The Cavs just missed the playoffs last season, folding in the second half and undergoing a coaching change when Paul Silas was fired in March. If Cleveland gets back to the postseason for the first time since 1998, Henderson gives them playoff experience. He has played in 34 career playoff games.
<br>
<br>
In 1998, Henderson was the NBA's Most Improved Player after averaging a career-high 14.3 points and 6.4 rebounds for the Hawks.
<br>
<br>
``Alan has shown throughout his career the ability to be active on the glass and on the defensive end,'' Brown said. ``He provides us with a solid interior presence and will help fortify our frontcourt rotation.''

앨런 헨더슨이 먹튀소리 많이 들었어도 작년 댈러스에서 좋은 백업 역할을 잘 수행해 줬습니다.아직까지 은퇴하기엔 멀었지만,은퇴하면 코치로 중용받을 수 있을 것 같기도 합니다.
테리와 앨런이 누구와 호크스에서 틀드됬나요?
워커와 델크일겁니다~!
