Life is like that, when you are disappointed in some places, you are always proud in others.

Tang Tian unfortunately failed to win the championship last season, but harvested a bunch of twin sons in the summer.

That's life.

Just when fans were still rejoicing that Don Tian had given birth to twin sons, the door to the 2015 NBA free agent market had officially opened.

Now everyone knows that next year is going to be a contract explosion year, and many of those with player options are opting for a big contract next summer.

But even so, there are no less big fish in the free market this year.

In the first pot, James (who has previously announced the player option), Aldridge, and Marc Gasol;

All three of them in Pot 1 are full free agents, and they are the first targets for teams with space to pursue.

There are more in the second pot, and many of them are restricted free agents.

The 2011 draft has proven to be an absolute draft year, with the exception of Irving and Klay Thompson, who have been re-signed early, and the rest of Kawhi Leonard and Jimmy Butler are all out of contract this summer.

As was the case with Tang Tian at the beginning, they are now restricted free agents, and the parent team can match all offers from other teams.

In addition to them, there are also many remaining second-tier stars, Jordan Jr., Grind Drummond, and Love are all very competitive players.

There are even more players in Pot 3, Rondo, Brandon Knight, Reggie Jackson, Dragic, Whiteside, Monta Aires, Matthews, Pierce, Tristan Thompson, Monroe, Millsap, Lopez, Hibbert, Whiteside, Harris.

These are very competitive players.

Whiteside originally signed a two-year contract with the Pelicans, saying it was two years, because it was signed in the middle of the season, but it was actually only one and a half years.

Because of what he did in the playoffs last season, the Pelicans certainly won't keep him anymore.

At the beginning of the new season of Tang Tian's big contract, the focus of Pelicans management is to negotiate an early contract extension with Davis, so there will not be too many moves in the free market.

They first renewed McGee and Ci Shiping with their base salaries.

McGee had a remarkable performance last season, and it was a good choice for the Pelicans to keep him, and McGee was grateful to the Pelicans and readily agreed.

Needless to say, Ci Shiping is the leader of the Pelicans' locker room, and staying is a must.

Then, with Demps' efforts, they agreed to a two-year, 6 million contract with a player option for the second year.

Biyombo and McGee are about the same status in the team, but after all, they are young and have potential to be tapped.

Biyombo was quick to agree, he's improved a lot over the past year with the Pelicans, and he's going to need to gild himself too.

The Pelicans have a lot of hope of winning the championship this season.

It was also after the role player's contract extension was finalized that the three-way deal that was negotiated on draft night was reached.

Thaddeus Young eventually signed a four-year, $50 million contract with the Nets and was traded to the Cavaliers.

And the Pelicans also traded smoothly to get Bojan, Bogdanovic and Joe Harris.

When the deal was concluded, Tang Tian immediately tweeted to welcome them.

"Are you ready to compete for the championship together? Bojan Bogdanovich Joe Harris. ”

The welcome was high-profile and flattered to Bojan and Harris.

They've all been role players before, and it's really exciting to be welcomed in such a way by the new team boss.

Harris was more shy and replied with a smile, but Bojan looked optimistic and replied directly, "If I didn't win the championship, my name will be written backwards."

Green originally said that he would eliminate the Pelicans in five games, but after the defeat, fans complained wildly, and fans wrote all his names upside down when they mentioned him on social media.

After the deal was made, the Pelicans' roster was largely stable.

Starters: Holiday Holiday , Tang Tian, Ariza , Davis and Jokic;

The only change from last season's start of the season is that Jokic has replaced Whiteside.

The starting lineup beat the Spurs last year and played 4-2 with the Warriors, and the players have improved and the chemistry is better this season, and the performance will definitely be better.

Subs: Dinwiddie, Morrow, Bojan Bogdanovic, Aminu, McGee/Biyombo;

With Jokic in the starting lineup, the Pelicans' bench looks a little weaker, but Dinwiddie will grow, and with the addition of the new Bojan, the depth is still very high.

Bench: Joe Harris, Harrell, Tzu Shiping;

Counting Bryn Forbes, who is going to play summer league for the Pelicans, this bench is basically piling up talent.

These people are also very suitable for this, they are not talented players themselves, and they need to settle for a few years to play.

However, Davis's early contract extension did not go so smoothly.

Because Davis has not been selected as an All-Star starter in a row and has not become an MVP, the Rose clause cannot be triggered.

Therefore, if he renews his contract at this time, he can only get an ordinary maximum salary contract with a starting salary of more than 16 million at most.

With a new collective bargaining agreement expected to be reached next year, it is clear that such a contract extension is not cost-effective.

While Demps is still trying to talk, Davis is not expected to renew his contract until next summer.

However, that will not have much impact on the Pelicans, and the dual-core combination of Tang Tian and Davis is basically set.

Coupled with Jokic's rookie contract, the overall framework of the Pelicans' roster is still very stable.

Just as the Pelicans were basically finalizing the roster, the big fish on the free market were signing with the team one after another.

The signings of several of these teams are noteworthy.

The Cavaliers' first year of forming the Big Three last season ended in failure, and team owner Gilbert is also making good on what he said at the beginning, making a series of big moves.

They first reached a five-year contract extension with a maximum salary of 110 million with Lefou, and then left Tristan Thompson with a five-year contract of 60 million.

Counting Thaddeus Young, who signed for 50 million in the previous four years, the Cavaliers have already thrown out $220 million at the beginning of the free market.

It's a real swagger.

However, their reinforcements are not over.

They then signed J.R. Smith with a one-year contract of 5 million and Iman Shampert for 3 years and 27 million for three years.

After that, they signed a new 1+1 contract with James with a total value of 2 years and 47 million with a maximum salary.

After signing 6 people in a row and throwing out 300 million, after failing to win the championship in the first year of the James Cavaliers era, Gilbert and the management of the Cavaliers told everyone in this way that they were going to decide the championship next season!
