The invincible kryptonite of basketball

Xiao Hua laughed out loud after hearing this.

This Borgia has a lot of ideas and a flexible mind, and he is especially fond of him.

To say that he failed last time, a big and important reason is the lack of a staff like Borgia.

After half a year of dormancy, he came back and summed up the previous experience and lessons.

No one this time, and no one will be able to stop him again!

Just as the signings of the teams were going on one after another, Woj broke a piece of news.

Walker did not reach a contract with the Celtics immediately, the main reason being that the contract situation of the Celtics team option made him worry.

The Celtics were also unwilling to budge.

Angie's brains are sharp.

Now there is no team to offer Walker a contract at all, and the Celtics are the team that can give Walker the largest contract in the market.

Delay, the Celtics can afford it, but Walker can't.

So he just needs to wait patiently for Walker to compromise.

However, there are too many news about big-name signings on this day, and Walker's sense of presence is actually not that strong.

Everyone also felt that it was only a matter of time before Walker signed.

And compared with Walker's signing, another piece of news that broke out on this day obviously attracted their attention more.

Because of the intervention of the Cavaliers and Bucks, the Pacers gave up the idea of ​​​​sending George to the Thunder!

According to the latest news from Shams, the Cavaliers, Pacers and Bucks are likely to reach a three-way deal.

In this deal, Irving, George and Middleton will become the core of the three-way deal!

This news is what fans are most concerned about!

Irving's departure from the Cavaliers is a certainty, but because there are two years left on his contract, his transaction value is higher than George's.

So the probability of this transaction being successful is very high.

But this is a pain for the Thunder fans. They were waiting for the Big Three to take shape, but now they are told that they are gone?

The pigeons of the three essences of human beings?

Thunder fans rant on social media.

But before they finished complaining, another piece of news broke by Woj attracted the attention of fans again.

The Pelicans added Jokic as a bargaining chip, which allowed them to quickly leave other teams behind, and a deal between them and the Mavericks was expected to be reached in a short period of time.

A few tyrannical teams from the east and the west will come on stage after you sing, it's so lively!

"Do you want to stop them from trading?"

At the New York headquarters, Borgia asked Xiao Hua.

Xiao Hua shook his head.

Neither the Pelicans nor the Mavericks are league-managed teams like the Hornets, and both teams have a normal relationship with him.

It is not easy to prevent them from completing this transaction.

And to take a step back, even if this deal is done, the improvement to the Pelicans is very limited.

You must know that Butler has a maximum salary of 2000 million. If the Pelicans want to trade him, in addition to sending Jokic, they have to send Ariza or Bojan, and even Williams.

This is equivalent to a third of the rotation of the championship lineup, which is not necessarily a good thing for the Pelicans.

Anyway, toss, toss to the end is futile.

Last season, the Warriors played inextricably against the Pelicans without the help of referees. Now a bunch of people change for Butler, which is just a blind sheep.

On the contrary, he had publicly said that he would not move the lineup before, but now he started trading again. This kind of behavior of messing up his position because of his comeback made him very happy.

On the third day after the end of the freeze period, the signing of free agents has basically been almost done.

On this day, the three-party deal that had attracted heated discussions among fans was finally reached.

Like the previous news from shams, Irving, George and Middleton became the main body of this three-way deal.

The Cavaliers traded Irving for Paul George and second-round picks from the Bucks in 2018 and 2020.

The Bucks sent Middleton, Jabari Parker and the 2018 and 2020 second-round picks for Irving and the 2018 first-round pick (lottery protection) from the Pacers.

The Pacers traded George and a 2018 first-round pick (lottery protection) for Middleton and Jabari Parker.

Each of the three parties to the deal gets what it wants.

For the Cavaliers, Irving's departure is inevitable, and the deal was stopped in time. They only need to sign another point guard in the free market;

For the Bucks, the duo of Irving and Antetokounmpo, they also have a further strength in the free market;

For the Pacers, they also got their biggest return. Middleton is a high-quality basic salary and high-energy contract in the league. Parker, as the second pick, averaged 20 points per game last season. He will be put on the shelf by the Bucks just because Suffering a major injury, the Pacers can take a gamble.

This three-party deal shocked the league, but the reaction of the fans was not bad. After all, the main framework of the deal had been exposed by shams before.

While the fans were still discussing the details of the transaction, the news that Woj broke out again caught the attention of the fans again.

The Pelicans reached a deal with the Mavericks, sent Jrue Holiday and Nikola Jokic, and the Mavericks traded for Jimmy Butler!

Chapter 43 The Pelicans are breaking up?

This deal is somewhat different from previous fan predictions.

Neither Ariza nor Bojan was involved in the transaction, but the team's starting point guard for the past four years, the quasi-All-Star Holiday!

This also ushered in a lot of discussions among fans on social media.

"Blood loss! Both Holiday and Jokic are gone!"

"Although Butler's strength is stronger than that of Holiday and Jokic, this deal is a real loss! Is the Pelicans really messing up?!"

"It's true that Dempsey's head was caught by a donkey. This is a self-destructive future! The three consecutive championships are gone!"

"Good deal, well done!" A statement from a Jokic fan.

"Am I the only one who thinks it's not bad? Butler has proved how tough he is in the playoffs last season, and he and Tang Tian are hard-working brothers!"

"I also think it's not a loss. Jokic's rookie contract will expire next season. The Pelicans may not be able to continue it, but Holiday is a bit reluctant!"

"Yeah, Holiday worked hard and was at the All-Star level, but he kept sacrificing in the Pelicans and was finally traded. Hey! The NBA is a business league!"

"Butler, Don, Davis, the Pelicans are now a Big Three team! The trend of the league is unstoppable!"

"Yes, Cavaliers George, LeBron, Whiteside, plus Love, Bucks Irving, Antetokounmpo, and maybe others, exciting!"

"But what I understand a bit is why the Mavericks wanted Jokic. Don't they already have Embiid?"

"Jokic's height is actually not enough to play five. He proved this in the Pelicans. The rebound is often suppressed, and he has to gain weight in order to stand in the paint. The final result is that the opponent is caught as a weakness. So I think it is entirely possible for him to lose weight and play the [-]th position."

"Yes, even if you can't play, you can trade. A talented player of Jokic's level must be rushed by a bunch of teams!"

"Speaking of which, the choice of the Pelicans is also a little confusing. Neither Ariza nor Bojan left, and now Butler is here again. Counting Tang who can also swing at the third position, this is four How about a mahjong table by yourself?"

"And without Holiday, who can start? Brogdon? Williams? I think the Pelicans' lineup is obviously deformed after this trade!"

"There is obviously a follow-up transaction, just wait and see! I think Dempsey must have a backup player based on his ability in previous years!"

……

Fans are talking about it on social media, and they are more and more looking forward to the future direction of the free market.

There is a high probability that the Pelicans will have a follow-up trade, the Mavericks also have this possibility, and even the Bucks and Cavaliers may have it.

Although most of the players in the free market have already signed and major deals have been completed, there are countless possibilities in the future that people look forward to.

On the fourth day after the freeze period ended, a reporter broke the news that Owen, who had just completed the transaction, appeared in Utah City with Antetokounmpo.

This move is quite eye-catching.

You must know that the Pelicans were quite close to Hayward before. Even before Demps made a statement, Hayward had a high probability of joining the Pelicans.

But now that the Pelicans have Butler, they naturally won't want Hayward.

In other words, Hayward is still a completely free agent.

After experiencing the rumors of leaving, the Jazz will probably not want him, so his destination is nothing more than the Celtics and a few teams that still have room.

The Bucks are not in this ranks, but they can now completely replace the Pelicans and Jazz to complete the sign-and-trade.

Although the chips may be worse, it is better for the Jazz than letting go for nothing.

Once the Bucks win Hayward, the East will be lively next year.

In addition to the Cavaliers and the Knicks, another team with absolute strength will appear.

And what's more interesting is that this means that Irving, who has just left the Cavaliers, is likely to encounter the Cavaliers in the playoffs or even the Eastern Conference Finals.

That's got to be very, very interesting.

While the fans here are still waiting for the possible Bucks Big Three, the Pelicans on the other side have already made a move.

The predictions of the fans on social media were correct. The Pelicans are now bloated and a trade is imperative.

According to Woj's latest revelations, the Rockets, Pelicans and Wizards have reached a three-way deal.

The Rockets sent this year's No. 27 pick Kuzma and Markieff Morris to get Ariza from the Pelicans;

The Wizards traded Andrew Nicholson (non-guaranteed contract) and a future second-round pick for Markieff Morris;

The Pelicans traded Ariza for Kuzma, Nicholson, and a future second-round pick from the Wizards.

After the transaction was completed, the Pelicans immediately waived Nicholson.

This is tantamount to Ariza replacing Kuzma, the Rockets' first-round pick this year.

"Fuck! The Pelicans are crazy! Demps is crazy! Ariza just traded for a late first-round rookie?!"

"And as far as I know, this rookie can't make three-pointers...and he's still an older rookie, so it's worth it!"

"I know that Ariza is likely to leave, but please find someone who is a little more useful!"

"It's better to beat Demps, it's better for Morey, Morris is replaced by Ariza, a perfect upgrade!"

"It's a pity that the Rockets failed to get Butler, but Morey changed hands to make up for Ariza. This operation is really Morey!"

"I heard that the Spurs can't clear the space there, and Paul's contract extension with the Rockets is also a certainty. I still look forward to the Rockets next year!"

"Yes, Paul basically wants to stay with the Rockets for 5 million in 2 years, the largest contract in history!"

"The annual salary is 4000 million!"

"Let's not talk about Paul. I think the Pelicans are going to disband! Holiday is gone, Jokic is gone, and Ariza is gone now!"

"Silver came back, the Pelicans really messed up, hey, it's a pity for a good dynasty team, poor Tang, who was mistreated by the management!"

……

Tang Tian's plan had the first step and the second step, followed by the third and fourth steps.

However, the road has to be taken step by step. If you take too long steps, you will be easily scratched, and if you take too many steps, you will be prone to accidents.

This was specifically ordered by Tang Tian.

After making these two trades, the Pelicans suddenly became quiet.

Like it's all their deal already.

Dempsey has been waiting for the past two days. On the one hand, he is waiting for the reaction of Xiao Hua and the alliance, and on the other hand, he is also waiting for the transaction to be officially completed.

Two days later, the two deals were officially announced one after another, and the players also completed their physical examinations one after another.

The Pelicans bid farewell to Holiday, Jokic, Ariza and other heroes who won the championship, and ushered in a group of newcomers such as Butler and Kuzma.

Dempsey felt that Tang Tian overestimated Xiao Hua.

The country is easy to change and the nature is hard to change. After all, Xiao Hua is just a short-sighted person, and he can't see what the Pelicans want to do at all.
