Owen returned to Cleveland that night after having dinner.
He won't announce that he will leave the Cavaliers tomorrow, but has made up his mind that he needs to do a lot of preparation.
At 2 pm the next day, the gate of the NBA Free Market officially opened.
As in previous years, the moment the door opened, various signings directly bombarded the fans' eyes.
Compared to fans who could not wait before but could only go to the hospital to get a bed, the news now makes them a bit unsuccessful.
Curry and the Warriors have reached a 5-year 20.1 billion contract extension;
Durant and the Warriors reached a 2-year, 5 million contract extension;
Iguodala and the Warriors reached a two-year, 6 million contract extension;
Livingston and Warriors reached a two-year 18 million contract extension;
Millsap joins the Nuggets 90 million a year;
Nowitzki continued to jump out of the contract and renewed a two-year 10 million contract with the Mavericks;
The Clippers signed Gallinari for 65 million a year;
Harden and the Rockets reach a 6-year 22.8 billion early contract extension;
Mills and the Spurs have reached a four-year 50 million contract extension;
Ibaka and the Raptors reach a 65 million annual contract extension;
The Kings signed George Hill with 57 million a year;
The Eagles renewed 71 million Bezmore in 4 years;
Timberwolves signed Jeff Teague for 57 million a year;
...
Fans who have been stunned for a week have finally been released on this day.
"5 million a year, Dirk really doesn't want money Nowitzki."
"You said I didn't believe the old driver and Cuban didn't have any basic feelings. The Mavericks will reach the top in the new season!"
"You have to ask the Warriors and the Pelicans if they don't agree."
"Isn't there any Cavaliers? Speaking of which the Cavaliers and the Warriors have retained their original lineup, is this just another year with the Pelicans?"
"Pelican fans: I heard that you haven't changed, good, our dynasty is stable!"
"Since the new labor agreement came into effect, money is the number. In the past, the starting salary was more than 10 million. Now more than 10 million are not enough to sign a role player."
"At this point, you can't deny the contribution that Xiao Huawei has brought. If it wasn't for the previous business, I think the players will be very grateful to Xiao Hua."
"What about Xiao Hua's depression? In theory, Tatum is just acting president? Xiao Hua can continue to be president if he is well?"
"Who knows this, but it is theoretically possible."
"It's a bit ironic to say that the Spurs renewed Mills 'contract for 50 years in 4 years, and they were unwilling to give Tang 4 years' contract of 44 million ..."
"A bit worried, brother! But don't say it, Holt's heart is bad, he can't stand it when he sees it."
"At that moment, no one knew that the salary cap would rise like this, let alone Mills, and Teague and Hill were close to 20 million contracts."
"My eagle is about to start rebuilding again. Teague, Millsap, Horford, Korver, the former F4 All-Stars are gone."
"It looks like the league's structure will be similar to last season? What's going on with George? How about going to the Pelicans?"
"Same question, I really want to see how the Pelicans with more Georges can defend? How about 80 wins?"
"Thinking a lot, I don't think the Pacers can make George do what he wants, and now the president is Tatum, he is very similar to Stern, and he will not allow such transactions.
"Tangle, this **** free market, update the news soon!"
...
The door to the free market opens, signing one after the other, but there are still many free agents who have not signed with the team.
Such as James, Hayward, Griffin, Lowry, Walker and other big players have no news.
The seemingly calm free agent market is still undercurrent.
Just as fans looked forward to signing a new contract, a news broke from oj shocked everyone.
Including Tang Tian.
According to oj, Butler submitted a trade application to the Mavericks management, and designated the next Pelicans!
The news was even more explosive than before.
Because the Mavericks were the fifth and five-star lineup in the West last season, and Butler was also selected as the best first defense and best second team!
The most important thing is, of course, the Pelicans!
This is to know that the small forwards of the Pelicans need to be strengthened, and they are all going to the Pelicans!
It is even interesting that George and Butler are competing!
Fans exploded on social media, and there was a wave of unrest.
"Tang's brother basketball!"
"Will you sign Walker too! Practice brotherhood!"
"Your mother-in-law is really a personal talent. I will really like you to be the general manager of the Pelicans!"
"Walk is impossible. The Pelicans have no space and they already have Hollodi, but I think Butler is really good. It is more reliable than George!"
"Yes, Butler is not only Tang's brother, but also a mysterious brother! Every time Tang has negative news, he is the first to stand up and also said to the media that Tang is his idol and example!"
"Yes, there will be no ball rights and running-in problems, and the Pelicans will be greatly strengthened!"
"And Butler is very tough in the playoffs, much harder than George, this is the most important!"
"Come on, come on, George is not enough to come to Butler, you can give Demps a little bit, always get one!"
"The beds are not enough anymore, nurses add bottles of water! This **** offseason!"
...
The hot discussions among fans on social media, Tang Tian did not react after knowing the news.
Although the conflict between Butler and Carlisle already existed last season, it's not too much trouble.
And also want to come to Pelicans, Irving greeted him in advance, and also deliberately ran to New Orleans.
Butler said nothing.
This is obviously a bit unreasonable. If you want to talk about relationships, except for Walker, Butler has the best relationship with him.
Just when Tang Tian was confused, his cell phone rang.
Take it and look, but Butler called.
"Don, I'm ready to come to New Orleans!"
When he spoke, Butler's tone was full of excitement.
"Why didn't you say hello to me beforehand?"
Tang Tian asked with blame ~ www.novelhall.com ~ I'm sorry, but I know that if you say hello, you won't let me do that. "
Butler was frank with Tang Tian.
Tang Tian couldn't refute it for a while. Indeed, he didn't like team basketball. If he knew in advance, he would definitely not let Butler do it.
Butler still knew him better than Irving.
"Can you tell me why?"
Tang Tian then asked.
"I know from Dallas management that they want to trade me away."
"what?"
This answer made Tang Tian never imagine that he thought it was the impulse that Butler and Carlisle had intensified.
