Chapter 558 The new lineup of the Pelicans
Demps was convinced by Tang Tian.
He found that Tang Tian's eloquence was really not very good, and ordinary people couldn't argue with him.
But he is also willing to believe in Tang Tian.
"We must hurry up so that we will avoid the nights and dreams."
After Tang Tian convinced Demps, he did not forget to remind him more.
Historically, Ariza went to the Rockets this season, but the Rockets are now striving for Anthony and have no time to take care of this side.
So if the Pelicans want to win Ariza, they must move quickly.
Although Demps doesn't have much vision and ability, his work efficiency is very good.
After Tang Tian gave the instructions, he concluded an oral agreement with Ariza the next day.
Four years and 40 million yuan, fully guaranteed contracts, such a contract is enough to make Ariza give up on renewing the Wizards.
Just after finalizing Ariza's contract, Demps also took the opportunity to trade Anderson and left the team.
Tang Tian’s contract will rise to its maximum salary next year, and Davis will also face the problem of early renewal.
Anderson didn't play much time in the playoffs due to defensive issues, and the Pelicans are determined to win the championship. It is the best choice to trade him out now because it is valuable.
This is a three-party transaction, and the other two parties to the transaction are the Nets and the Timberwolves.
The Nets failed last season's playoffs, and Prokorov's plan to spend a lot of money was declared bankrupt, but general manager Billy King was still unwilling to accept it and he continued to strengthen the team.
The Nets sent Garnett and Mirza Taylortovic, and got Ryan Anderson and Thadies Young.
The Timberwolves sent Sadies Young and Alex Schevid, and received Kevin Garnett.
The Pelicans sent Ryan Anderson, and got Mirza Taylortovic and Alex Schevid.
The Nets are determined to strengthen, while the Timberwolves will be hopeless in the playoffs and will welcome the Wolf Kings to sell tickets.
The main purpose of the Pelicans' deal is to clear up the salary space and further increase the flexibility of the free market.
Taylor Tovic is also a space power forward, but his salary is only 3 million and his contract is only one year left.
Moreover, after Reeves Jr. left the team, it was also very good that Schaeved came in as a substitute point guard.
After the transaction was concluded, Demps also acted quickly and successfully renewed Morrow's contract for 6 million yuan for two years.
As a result, after the series of operations in the draft and free market, the Pelicans' lineup has changed again.
If nothing unexpected happens, the team's core lineup will be stabilized next season.
Starting: Holiday + Tang Tian + Ariza + Davis + Whiteside;
Substitutes: Cole + Gordon + Morrow + Taylor Tovic + Jokic;
Bench: Taylor Johnson, Schavid, Dinwiddie;
The contract between Ci Shiping and Evans has not been finalized, but the lineup has basically been decided.
As long as this lineup is well run-in, its performance in the new season will definitely be better than last season.
Of course, the most important thing is that the wave of krypton gold value in Tang Tianxia has not yet arrived.
His progress is the most critical point for the Pelicans' transformation, and the lineup and other lines are just auxiliary.
The Pelicans have just finalized their lineup, and the three-day deadline for the Rockets to match Parsons and him is about to come.
After a last conversation with Anthony's team, Morey chose to match Parsons' contract.
This means that the Rockets were eliminated early in the battle for Anthony.
The Rockets' rise and fall from the daily limit to the daily limit, and the ups and downs made people's hearts say they couldn't stand it.
However, the probability of Anthony joining the Heat has surged, and fans are also very excited about the launch of Brothers Basketball 2.0 version.
Just after being eliminated from Anthony's battle, Morey responded quickly. They immediately sent out Jeremy Lin and the 2015 first-round draft pick, and obtained the Lakers' cash and the signing rights of overseas players.
Jeremy Lin was squeezed out of rotation by Beverly in the Rockets, and the previous Anthony jersey PS incident broke up with the Rockets. In addition, Morey turned to avoid luxury tax after failing to compete for Anthony, so this deal was also expected.
The Lakers' purpose is even more obvious. Nash is about to retire this season and Livingston chooses to switch to the Warriors after his contract expires. They need a point guard who can serve as the starting point.
Jeremy Lin scored 38 points against Kobe and was deeply impressed by the management. This was a suitable candidate.
And more importantly, the Lakers can also get a first-round draft pick from this deal.
Just after completing this transaction, the Lakers immediately announced that they had reached a two-year, 16 million contract with free agent Yi Jianlian.
Kupchek is worthy of being an old world. While implementing Jim Bass's thoughts, he continues to please Kobe, and on the other hand, he is planning for the future. Even after seeing Tang Tian bring new prosperity to the Chinese market, he also invested in this area.
One stone three birds.
Moreover, the Lakers starts in the new season: Jeremy Lin + Kobe + Shampoo + Yi Jianlian + Chandler, and they still have the power to fight in the West.
After this series of actions, the lineups of several Western teams have surfaced.
The Spurs, Thunder, and Clippers have stable lineups of the top three in the Western Conference last season, without any change, and there is not much movement.
The Lakers' big moves and the Pelicans also completed the upgrade.
The Grizzlies basically retain the black and white two-man player and have competitiveness in the playoffs.
Even though the remaining Rockets failed in the battle for Anthony, Morey's operation stopped the bleeding in time.
Next season, their lineup of Beverly + Harden + Parsons + Bosh + Asik, plus the rookie selected this year, Capela, will obviously improve their combat power.
The more miserable one is the Mavericks. They are like previous years, with great enthusiasm every year during the offseason and a waste of money every year.
Cuban was unwilling to give up. After the hopeless battle for Anthony, he traded Rondo to sign Ruhr Deng, which was considered a gain in the offseason.
Whether they can enter the playoffs this season depends on Embiid's injury recovery.
After a storm in the west, the lineups of each team have basically settled and the pattern looks clearer.
Just as everyone turned their eyes to Anthony and James, a news broke out by OJ pulled their eyes back to the west.
The Spurs and Paul Gasol reached a 2-year, full middle-class contract of 10 million!
Although Gasol was old at this time, he was still a second-tier star. In addition, Duncan had not retired, so he started a luxurious inside team!
Considering the Spurs' consistent urinary nature, in order to avoid luxury tax, Split will definitely be traded in subsequent transactions.
In that case, the Spurs' starting lineup next season will be Parker + Green + Leonard + Duncan + Gasol, and Ginobili, Belinelli, Dior, and Baynes on the bench.
This lineup is stronger than last season and is definitely a favorite to win the championship!
The Spurs failed to attack the dynasty last season, and they had no movement in the free market before. Unexpectedly, when the free market was approaching, they made a big wave of big things!
Popovich is making a fortune in silence!
ps: Special thanks to Xi_man for his reward!!
