The invincible kryptonite of basketball

Even if the deal is successful in the end, with Butler coming and Jokic leaving, the improvement of the team's strength will be limited!

And this is really no more competitive than the lineup that got Hayward before!

"Don't worry, getting Butler is only the first step. There is a second step and a third step. There is no hope for other teams next season."

Seeing Dempsey's reaction, Tang Tian said calmly.

ps: ask for a monthly ticket, ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a reward

Chapter 41 Tang Tian's brother basketball!

Just the first step? !

Dempsey looked at Tang Tian in surprise.

He suddenly understood what the so-called revenge society was.

This is to prepare not to give other teams a way out!

And after making public statements on TNT shows that didn't work, it seemed like the most straightforward way to go!

Directly ruin the next season!

"But until those last few steps come out, we're going to take it slow and not allow the league to stop a trade from happening."

The previous Hayward deal made him a little more vigilant.

What Tatum can do, Xiao Hua can do too.

Dempsey nodded to show that he understood.

"The second step is to clear up enough salary space."

Tang Tian continued.

Before he did not support the Pelicans to trade George Butler and the others, in addition to not liking the team, there is another very important reason is that trading means destroying the lineup and trading out the original people.

This team has just completed consecutive championships, the morale is high, and everyone is heading for the dynasty.

Now you want to send them away, especially if you send them away, they must be important rotations or even starters. This is cold-blooded from the team's point of view.

But things have developed to this point, and those can no longer be taken care of.

"and then?"

"Sign Walker."

Tang Tian said calmly.

But after he finished speaking, Dempsey gasped.

He almost forgot about Walker!

Walker has not officially signed yet!

Walker's strength is at the All-Star level, and he also played at the peak of his career last season, and his state is also the best since entering the league.

He was cold in the free market. On the one hand, he was defensive and tall, but on the other hand, the Hornets dragged on for a few days, and many teams ran out of space.

Just like the Leonard that Tang Tian knew in his previous life, after a week of delay, the signing space of several teams waiting for him was infinitely compressed.

But even then, the Celtics are now offering Walker a four-year maximum salary contract.

So in terms of strength alone, Walker is not bad.

Of course, more importantly, Walker and Tang Tian were teammates during the NCAA period!And he has the best relationship with Tang Tian among the hard training brothers!

So tacit understanding will not be a problem at all!

So before the formal signing, as long as Tang Tian makes a move, Walker will definitely join the Pelicans!

Walker + Butler + Tang Tian + Davis + whatever!

Two best three teams, two best first teams!A League No.1!

Also, two second defenses, one first defense!

This lineup is really going to destroy the world!

What's more, although Tang Tian and Butler's current contract is a maximum salary, they were all signed before, which is only about 2000 million US dollars.

When they are clearing the salary space, they have the opportunity to keep Louis Williams, Brogdon, Bojan, and Harrell all!

This lineup, in a word, the other 29 teams don't have to play next season!

Playing with your mother!Give me the ball, I'm going home!

"Kemba's defense is not that bad, and with me, Jimmy and AD, it's not a problem at all."

Seeing that Dempsey didn't speak, Tang Tian added.

"Yes, yes."

Dempsey said hastily.

He is calm on the surface, but his heart has already set off a storm.

What the hell, it's the first time I found out that the NBA can still play like this!

He even looks forward to the team breaking the record of 74 wins next season!

"And you don't have to worry about running in. I train with Kemba, Jimmy, and AD every summer."

Tang Tian then added.

Walker and him were teammates at UConn. Butler was the earliest member of the Hard Training Brothers. Although Davis joined later, they have also practiced together for four years.

So the chemical reaction or something is not a problem at all.

And when they practiced, they knew that Walker and Davis' pick-and-roll effects were exceptionally good.

Walker was the most efficient player in the league after the pick-and-roll last season, and Davis was the second most efficient.

In fact, he is also looking forward to what kind of performance the two will play on the same team.

"Enough, enough."

Dempsey clutched his chest.

He was afraid that he couldn't bear it like Holt.

"It's just that Nicholas is a pity."

Dempsey said after taking a few deep breaths.

If Jokic can be kept, it will be a quasi-five-star lineup, and other teams will really make a "wdnmd" sound.

"Nicola's contract expires next year, and under the new penalty standard, his performance will decline. Although it is a pity, he is the key to getting Butler."

Tang Tian said.

Rules create stars, not everyone is O'Neal, the leagues that can play modify the rules, and more players are still adapting to the rules.

Like the current Kanter, he would have been a big killer inside, but he struggled under the rules of the small ball era.

But his performance picked up last season, and he felt like he was playing at his peak again.

This is also an important willingness for the Nuggets to become a third party to eat his contract.

Jokic dropped out of the starting lineup in the playoffs last season. Although his performance is still efficient, it is troublesome to renew his contract.

His talent's maximum salary is definitely worth it, but for the Pelicans, it hurts to get the maximum salary off the bench, even if it is the sixth man.

I didn't digest this matter originally, so I can barely accept it.

But now that Xiao Hua's incident has come out, he can only make the big one out of the small.

"I know, I will take it step by step."

Dempsey nodded.

When Dempsey left, Tang Tian slumped on the sofa.

His emotions did not become very excited because of the upcoming brother basketball, but some inexplicable sadness.

This plan B was not what he wanted. To achieve this step, the teammates who fought together in the past, such as Holiday and Ariza, were bound to leave.

These teammates who have been together for three or four years say that it is false to say that they have no feelings, especially Holiday, who also cut his salary for the Pelicans.

He is not a cold-blooded person, on the contrary, as Barkley said, he is more like a romantic person.

This can be seen from his attitude when he left the Spurs.

He was forced to the point where he had to leave the Spurs, but when Popovich said that Duncan was going to retire, he would still say, "If Duncan can not retire, as long as the Spurs match the contract, I will still choose to stay." down" like that.

This is probably the result of age.

Just like it is now, if it wasn't for the alliance and Xiao Hua to push things to such an extent, he would not choose to come to this point.

But now there are no other options.

This may be the source of his inner sadness.

Or maybe, not just because of himself, but because he is grieving for the other 29 teams.

The mistakes made by Xiao Hua and the team owners, but they need to bear it in the end.

They, probably every night they play against the Pelicans, are going to be under a cloud, out of the shadows.

It's really sad too.

Chapter 42 Owen, George, Butler

Xiao Hua officially came back. Although the future is full of uncertainties, at least it can be regarded as stable for the time being.

After stabilizing, the signings of teams and free agents have also started one after another.

James, Durant, Curry, Lowry and others all signed contracts one after another.

Although the president of the alliance has changed, it seems that there is no such thing as Qiao Shouxin, and everything is proceeding smoothly.

New York headquarters.

Silver is communicating with Joe Borgia.

Borgia was one of the vice presidents during the Tatum period. His previous main job was to be in charge of replay and referee operations.

But his relationship with Tatum, just like the relationship between Tatum and Silver, has always been at odds.

Now that Xiao Hua is back, the first thing to do is to promote Borgia to his chief vice president.

"Everything is going well, and there is no expected opposition. It seems that this year's inspection period will pass smoothly."

Borgia was promoted and became Xiao Hua's most loyal subordinate.

After hearing this, Xiao Hua couldn't hide the smile on his face.

He knows exactly what the bosses like, so Tatum Tangtian or something, forcing him to step down for half a year last season is already the limit.

Now that the situation is stable, the two are celebrating at the headquarters.

"Is there any reaction from Tang Tian and the Pelicans?"

After Xiao Hua laughed, he still asked one more question.

"No, in fact, a player is just a tool for playing. Even if he is No.1 in the league, the bosses don't care. The labor side has no right to speak, and the management side controls everything."

Borgia said with a smile.

Xiao Hua nodded after listening.

"And No. 1 in the league can be praised. As long as it can help LeBron win the championship in Cleveland, isn't No. 1 still his?"

Borgia continued.
