Kerr is a very qualified two-way defender, who can play both individually and playfully, is physically strong, and is tough on the defensive end.

The only flaw is that he is only 1.88 meters tall, which limits his ceiling.

But it's more than enough to play as a backup point guard.

And this is more than a trade that allows the Pelicans to send away Stiensma, who rarely has a chance to play, one more spot, and the flexibility of the roster reinforcement is also enhanced.

In short, the Pelicans are not losing money on this deal.

On the second day of the trading day, Roberts came to the locker room to pack his things and prepare to leave.

His teammates said goodbye to him one after another.

Roberts and Reeves Jr. actually have obvious shortcomings, but recently Reeves Jr. has been squeezed out of the rotation and the trade value is basically gone, plus it is also a No. 10 pick, and the team still wants to cultivate it again, so the two sent away Roberts, who has been in better shape recently and is more inexpensive.

Although the Pelicans' record is average, the atmosphere in the team is very good, and the players are reluctant to leave.

"Thank you, Don, I will always remember you."

Before leaving, Roberts thanked Tang Tian extraly, he only played for more than half a season with the Pelicans, and he owed Tang Tian's Ferrari a little.

"Me too, good luck with the Bobcats."

Tang Tian didn't care, and sent his blessings to Roberts in the same way.

Although the NBA is a commercial league, players are human beings after all, and they have feelings and friendships with each other, which will accompany them for a lifetime, not something that money can measure.

"Oh yes, you must report my name when you go to Charlotte, Kemba is my brother."

Tang Tian finally didn't forget to pat him on the shoulder and remind.

Roberts nodded gratefully, and could feel that Tang Tian was no longer just a teammate to him, but a true friend.

The day after Roberts was sent away, Kerr passed a medical exam and came to the Pelicans to report.

"This is my friend, don't bully him."

As soon as Cole arrived in the locker room, Tang Tian pulled him by the shoulders and said to the other players with a smile.

This is meant to cover him.

When the Pelicans heard this, they all took the initiative to go up and say hello.

The team bosses all said that they were friends, so they must be greeted warmly.

Cole was moved indescribably.

The biggest relationship between him and Tang Tian was just to participate in the trial of the Heat team together, but being taken care of like this, it really felt like he was desperate for him.

Tang Tian saw his eyes and patted him on the shoulder with a smile.

"There's no intrigue on this team, it's just the simplest basketball, and you're going to love it here."

He continued.

At the beginning of the trial together, he knew that Cole was still good, and his strength was also good, and a move to bring him together as a little brother was worth it.

Kerr took part in a team practice session on his first day with the team.

His performance impressed his teammates.

Especially in the full-court confrontation session, he only arrived on the first day, but the team's tactical movement was very good.

And more importantly, the defense he showed.

The 1.88m tall guy played 1.98m of defensive energy, which is exactly what the team's bench needs.

"We've earned it."

At the end of the session, Williams turned to Borrego with a smile.

It could be heard from the words that he was very happy with Cole.

One Kerr, one Whiteside, ghostly, the Pelicans' bench was originally weak, but in just one week.

Now they can really challenge for a good spot in the playoffs.

Over the next week, the Pelicans had a sweet schedule for three consecutive home games.

On Feb. 25, they played the Cavaliers at home.

The Cavaliers were mediocre and the Pelicans were in high spirits, and they eventually won 110-94 to extend their winning streak to the longest of the season to six.

Williams tasted the sweetness in the last game, and this time also allowed Tang Tian to output with all his might.

As a result, Tang Tian scored 32 points in the third quarter, directly turning the last quarter into garbage time.

Kerr had eight points and three assists and had a good debut.

However, Whiteside, who performed well on the court, did not play well this time, only contributing 2 points, 3 rebounds and 2 blocks, but had 4 fouls.

It seems that he still has a lot of room for improvement.

At the end of the game, Irving, who scored 30 points, was a little depressed.

He is the champion, Tang Tian is the second-round champion, and the two are one round apart in the draft, but Tang Tian is not a star and a half better than him now.

And isn't it a little friend who has been training hard together in the offseason? It's a heavy one!

"Cheer up, Kyrie, maybe you'll have a strong teammate next season."

Tang Tian silently encouraged Owen.

Historically, James went to the Cavaliers next season, although history has changed, and the Heat look like they have a championship this season, but what if?

No one knows what will happen in the future!

Owen shook his head with a wry smile.

In addition to believing what Tang Tian said, what else can he do, he can't beat it anyway, you force you to have the final say.

After playing the Cavaliers, the Pelicans followed suit and played against the Bobcats.

The Bobcats are now sixth in the East, and Walker, although not selected as an All-Star, is finally about to make up for the original offseason and lead the team to the playoffs.

The game was very anxious and the stalemate lasted until the end.

Tang Tian played Mr. Key himself this time, and scored 7 points in a row at the last moment to kill the game.

He scored 41 points and scored his seventh 40+ of the season.

Walker scored 26 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, and his mood was almost the same as that of Irving before him.

What about the good friends?

It seems that they were all ravaged by Tang Tian, hey!

By the way, the last time I said that I dribbled like you, I haven't settled accounts with you yet!

Let's have a treat, the kind that can't be forgiven if you don't invite a guest to eat!

A meal that comforted Walker's wounded heart a little.

The good news, though, is that he won't be the last.

Two days after the game against the Bobcats, the Pelicans had their second meeting with the Warriors this season.

The last time Tang Tian beat the Warriors by 44 points in his career, this time both Thompson and the Warriors want to bring their revenge back.

But Tang Tian was once again their bitter master, scoring 39 points to help the Pelicans win the game 109-100.

Thompson, who was opposite Tang Tian in this game, was blown up by Tang Tian for the Nth time, and only got 11 points and 3 rebounds in the whole game, and there were 3 turnovers!

His experience of Owen and Walker was even more thorough.

It's like a 1,000-meter race, he doesn't start much behind, and he's bent on overtaking.

By the time the 400 meters had passed, he was gradually pulled away, and all he wanted was to try to catch up.

And now that he was 800, he was almost out of sight of Tang Tian.

Obviously, he trained together, and he also changed the habit of going to nightclubs, but he still couldn't stop being pulled apart a little bit, this feeling is really desperate!
