Chapter 1182 2018 NBA Free Agency Market

These two news is very important, but also interesting.

Because one of the news broke was Oakland media and the other was Los Angeles media.

The parties involved cannot speak out at this time, and there is no way to know whether the real or fake news.

Time is fast, and June 30 is coming, and it is only one day before the free market door is opened.

Demps is going crazy now, because judging from private contact with Walker and Butler, both of them will jump out of the contract to test the free market.

They also have no clear attitude on the issue of renewing their contract with the Pelicans.

His idea was to keep at least one of two people.

This is also the ideal result.

But this matter was not confirmed before the free market door opened, which is obviously not a good thing.

Tang Tian's phone number was not available, so Demps directly bought a Caribbean plane, and then went to the local area to find Tang Tian according to the information he collected one after another.

The sun is shining and the sea breeze is gentle.

Tang Tian held Olsen, blew the gentle sea breeze under the sun umbrella by the sea, drank fruit drinks, and enjoyed this wonderful holiday.

Putting everything about NBA aside is really a pleasure for Tang Tian, ​​who has been traveling through time for 7 years.

But this enjoyment was quickly broken.

Because he turned his head and inadvertently, he glanced at a man in a white t-shirt that was waving towards him.

Demps.

This guy actually came to the Caribbean.

"Elizabeth, wait for me here."

Tang Tian didn't want the holiday to be broken, so he got up and walked towards Demps.

"Tang, I can't contact you, no one answered the phone."

Demps ran to him and gasped, and said anxiously.

"Oh, I probably landed my phone in New Orleans."

Tang Tian seemed to suddenly remember him and said.

Not long ago, he had officially announced that Carl had become his new agent, and endorsement and other matters had been handled completely.

So he didn't even bring his phone.

Most of the reason is that I don't want Demps to contact him.

On the one hand, I want to have a quiet holiday with Olson.

On the other hand, he used his toes to know that Demps would look for him because of Walker and Butler.

In private, he had already acquiesced to Walker and Butler leave, but it was impossible to say such words to Demps, so he had to hide.

"Don, we are in trouble! Jimmy and Kenba may be leaving the team in the new season, and our strength will decline a lot!"

As expected, Demps didn't care why Tang Tian stayed in New Orleans, but instead talked about the status quo in a hurry.

"Let them do whatever they want, and we can't keep them all."

Tang Tian said calmly.

"ah?"

Demps thought he had heard it wrong.

"Dale, calm down. With me and Ad, New Orleans will still have a fourth championship. Kemba and Jimmy want a bigger stage, so let them go. They have sacrificed a season for the Pelicans."

Tang Tian wanted to reach out and touch Demps' head, but he patted Demps on the shoulder instead and said.

Demps looked at Tang Tian for a while, and then savored it carefully before he realized Tang Tian's attitude.

He was very obedient, but he was not stupid either. Tang Tian acquiesced Walker and Butler to leave.

"I think we should at least keep one of them so that our losses won't be too big."

He understood, but he still said his own thoughts.

"The league has a hard salary cap, and the salary space will explode at most two years."

Tang Tian replied directly.

Tang Tian’s terms really hit the group a big blow, and it is impossible for three super teams to have another one.

"No, and it's worth it, two years, even a year."

Demps replied immediately.

"Now the team only has two big contracts, you and Ad. We can hold up the rotation in the draft. If we take the draft, we can take the rotation. If we take a step back, if the salary is really uncontrollable, we can also trade Kemba or Jimmy."

Demps has been with Tang Tian for the past two years, and the plan he mentioned is also the best.

The Pelicans have now completed their dynasty. Even if they stay for a year, they will be four consecutive championships.

Moreover, Tang Tian has a great talent in drafting. He wants a middle-class player, just like Boyang, and he can be replaced by Siakam.

With the Big Three plus the rookie, even with the Tang Tian clause, the Pelicans can keep going!

Tang Tian didn't speak immediately.

From Demps's point of view, these words are absolutely correct, and his thinking is also very reasonable.

But on the one hand, his talent show Sky Eye is almost time to go.

On the other hand, he didn't want Walker or Butler to sacrifice again, and the sacrifice was finally traded as Demps said.

"Dell, what do you want to do these things? If you do it well, I won't interfere. You should have known my attitude before."

After a while of silence, Tang Tian spoke.

Demps watched Tang Tian for a while after listening to it, and finally nodded.

He saw brotherly feelings in Tang Tian's eyes. Maybe this alliance is a business alliance, but Tang Tian is not a businessman.

"What's wrong, my dear?"

Tang Tian sent Demps away, then walked back under the sun umbrella.

"No, it's okay."

Tang Tian lay down and continued to talk to Olson about some happy things.

When preparing for pregnancy, mood is really important.

The next day, on July 1, 2018, US time, the curtain of the NBA free agent market officially opened.

Just as the door opened, news of signing was revealed one after another.

Capela and the Rockets reached a five-year, 80 million contract extension.

His outstanding performance last season won him a fat big contract.

And compared with the current salary cap, this contract can be said to be quite affordable and cheap.

This contract extension also means that the Rockets will most likely not renew Cousins.

Aaron Gordon and the Magic reached a four-year, 84 million contract extension.

The Magic team has no big names, and Gordon is the most star-studded player in their current formation.

This is also the limitation of the small city team. O'Neal and Howard were, but in the end they couldn't keep it.

After these two contracts, other contracts have also followed suit.

Favors renewed his contract with Jazz for 36 million for 2 years;

Bradley renewed the Clippers for 2 years and 25 million;

Nurkic renewed the Trail Blazer for 4,800 years;

Smart renewed the Trail Blazer for 52 million in 4 years;

Joe Harris renewed the Nets for 16 million in 2 years;

Grant renewed contract with Thunder for 27 million in three years;

...

On the first day of the opening of the free market, there were a lot of news about contract renewals of all sizes.

But there is a very obvious point. All the news that broke out were news of renewing the parent team, and almost no one signed the contract with the change team.

The fundamental reason for this phenomenon is that the big fish in the free market have not yet moved.

Most of the remaining players are waiting.

However, on the afternoon of that day, woj and shams suddenly released a message one after another, and this news shocked the free agent market.

James will join the Lakers!
Chapter completed!
