Just when everything calmed down and the outside world thought the Pelicans had ended their offseason reinforcements, Woj broke the news again.
The Pelicans have a three-way deal with the Clippers and Pacers!
The Pelicans sent Louis Williams to get the Pacers' No. 18 show this year Jarrett Allen and Alan Anderson (no guarantee contract);
The Clippers sent Alan Anderson, this year's No. 17 show TJ Leif, to get Louis Williams.
The Pacers sent Jarret Allen to TJ Love.
And at the same time, the Pelicans announced that they had laid off Nicholson, a non-guaranteed contract player previously traded.
After the news broke, it caused a heated discussion among fans.
After Hollodi, Jokic and Ariza, another winning champion of the Pelicans was sent away!
And according to Woj, this is not the last deal for the Pelicans.
The Pelicans were heartbroken, and there was much talk outside.
This is really like what fans have said on social media. Xiao Hua's comeback has caused Demps to mess up. The Pelicans are really about to break up!
New York headquarters.
"We must stop them, they are clearing the cap space! They will send Boban next step!"
Borgia reacted quickly, realizing what the Pelicans had to do, and immediately reported to Xiao Hua.
"What are they doing to clear up the space?"
Xiao Hua was still puzzled, Ariza was reasonable to send away, but Butler could not have asked him again.
That's why they didn't think the Pelicans would follow up.
But sending Williams away is really confusing now. Even if the Pelicans are clearing up space, there are no more people on the free market.
"Kemba Walker, he hasn't signed yet!"
Borgia gave him speculation.
Although Walker has always been associated with the Celtics, and the free market has not been connected to the Pelicans.
However, the relationship between Walker and Tang Tian cannot run away, and now he has not formally signed with the Celtics, it is likely that they are waiting for the Pelicans!
Only Walker is worth the Pelicans to send away low-paid and high-energy players like Ariza and Williams!
And this point can be seen from the fact that they sent Ariza and Williams, but only got inside players.
Kuzma and Allen, one at four and one at five, plus David West and Dior who may renew.
The next move of the Pelicans is definitely to trade Boban!
Even he now suspects that the Pelicans dared to use Butler as a bargaining chip to trade Butler, already talking to Walker!
Xiao Hua reacted violently.
If Walker went to the Pelicans, no team would be a Pelicans opponent at all!
Tang Tiandu, the lineup like last season, led the team to win the championship. If the four-star Pelican, the other teams would not have to play at all.
Even if he intended to help the Warriors or Cavaliers, they could not win the Pelicans!
In other words, if Walker goes to the Pelicans, the NBA is really finished next season.
It's not just who wins the championship. In the season without a doubt, all the way through the game, the ratings of the NBA will definitely plummet.
He could not care about the others. If the bosses made less money during his inspection period, the benefits he had promised could not be achieved, and he knew with his toes that he would definitely step down again.
This **** Pelicans, this is going to put him to death!
"I called Ballmer."
Xiao Hua turned around and called.
He must stop the deal, and all other teams will no longer trade with the Pelicans.
In this way, the Pelicans can't clear the salary space, and it is impossible to talk about signing with Walker.
The Pelicans can drag, but Walker can't afford it. Friends' private relationship is not as good as real money, not to mention that it is tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of contracts.
A day later, Woj gave the latest news, Louise Williams failed the medical examination in Los Angeles, and the Pelicans' three-way deal failed!
This news once again attracted heated debate from fans.
"Good news! Williams doesn't have to go!"
"But I haven't heard of Williams being injured? Or is he always fighting with injuries?"
"I think the Clippers are more likely to regret it. They put the Pelicans together so that Williams would not be able to trade anyway!"
"Hey, you guys so quickly forgot the 58-point tragedy of the Pelicans against the Clippers? It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years!"
...
In Tang Tian's manor, Walker, Tang Tian and Demps were sitting together to communicate.
"Louis' physical examination failed suddenly. I contacted other teams and even if it was given away, they were unwilling to take over."
Demps said anxiously.
The unqualified medical examination made other teams worry.
"Expected thing."
Tang Tian was very calm.
Demps looked at him suspiciously, but Tang Tian hadn't said it before.
"Xiao Hua was dormant for half a year. It would be strange if he didn't grow a bit. Most of the time, he had said hello to the Clippers."
Tang Tian began to analyze.
The Clippers are in Los Angeles. The big city teams value their interests more, and a bit of communication behind them is too normal.
As for the unsuccessful physical examination, this kind of thing is always unclear. The Pistons pitted the Rockets in this way.
Demps also understood after listening, no wonder that Williams, who had not been injured before, would fail the medical examination, and the Clippers also got the official medical examination failure report.
"But then, it will be harder to send out the Boban contract later, and we may not be able to clear up the salary space."
Demps said a glance at Walker.
Walker is a completely free agent, and the only obstacle to signing him is salary space.
"Otherwise, I'll cut my salary and sign a 1 + 1 contract."
Walker followed.
Walker quickly agreed when Tang Tian called him and asked him to come to the Pelicans.
The desolation of the free market made him feel the cold blood of the capitalists, and he wanted to avenge society more than Tang Tian.
"A 1 + 1 contract is OK so that we can renew our contract next year."
Demps immediately nodded.
According to the current situation, the Pelicans only have about 10 million in salary space, but next year they will renew their caps and they can make the maximum salary.
This can save more than 10 million, he is naturally happy.
Tang Tian shook his head.
Getting Walker to sign a 10 million contract is not just as simple as Walker's personal loss of more than 10 million.
Next year's Big Four, Walker's data can be expected to decline.
Now everyone sits together and talks casually about the maximum salary, but when there are good players in the free market next year, Demps may not say so.
Demps does not represent him personally, but the management of the Pelicans.
The commercial value of Tang Tian is here ~ www.novelhall.com ~ how big the contract is not a problem, but Walker is different.
It would be a little funny if Walker only got 10 million a year after playing the peak season.
And Xiao Hua will certainly seize this idea and try to stop it. ,
After all, such a contract seems very abnormal, and it is easy to fabricate reasons for abnormal things.
"But otherwise, Kemba cannot come."
Demps went on.
Things got complicated because of Xiao Hua's intervention. They seemed to have to do a multiple choice question or take some risks.
"I remember you told me before that Xiao Hua's return number of votes was just 24, right?"
Tang Tian suddenly said coldly.
