Williams's words were resounding.

Tang Tian probably knows a little about Williams' coaching style.

This should be the kind of coach who is good at developing players like Brooks of the Thunder.

The Pelicans chose to keep Paul on after sending him away, and it seems that not only because Williams still has a contract, but also because management has thought it through.

"Don, Mr. Benson is a legend in New Orleans, he's really invested in the team, he renovated the arena, and whenever the players had any problems, he knew and did his best to help."

Davis added at this point.

This time, the cute thick eyebrows said something useful.

But looking at his expression, it should be from the heart.

A good boss who is willing to invest is indeed a plus. It's the same as the Mavericks' Cuban.

Although the Pelicans are also a small city team, it doesn't mean that the owner has to pick the door.

And what Davis said was just icing on the cake, what really moved Tang Tian was what Williams said.

To be honest, probably the Spurs didn't make it this far.

The Pelicans really have a heart on him.

However, this kind of concern seems to be able to explain it.

Although New Orleans rebuilt after the hurricane, its population plummeted, and it has not recovered for so many years.

Although the team moved back to New Orleans, the ball market started from scratch.

They are even trying to attract tourists and increase the flow of people through tourism.

To exaggerate, as long as Tang Tian hits out, it is not surprising that there is an extra Chinatown there.

So more than a year of tracking, it's really not much.

And a team, the standard configuration is the core of the inside and outside line, he and Davis are twin stars, and the lower limit is very high.

Add in a few role players who can go up at once, and the chances of winning the championship are significantly greater than those of the Mavericks and Rockets.

The only downside to going there is that the market is a bit smaller.

However, after going through the Spurs, he already knows that the size of the ball market has little impact on him, and New Orleans is indeed a good choice.

The meeting with the Pelicans is over, and Tang Tian really has to think about it now.

Mavericks, rockets, or pelicans.

From one out of seven to one out of three.

All three places have their pros and cons.

The good news is that he'll have a whole free agent market to think about and don't have to rush it.

At 0:00 on July 1, US time, the NBA free agent market officially opened.

Compared to last year's scene when Duncan Sr. was the top card, this year's free market can be described as a lot of big names.

Dwight Howard, Chris Paul, these are all All-Stars who can definitely bring qualitative change to the team.

In addition, "Little AI" Andre Iguodala, Jazz interior duo Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap;

J.R. Smith, who just won the Sixth Man of the Year award, Monta Ellis, one of the former Warriors' two-gun guns;

"Demon Knife" Ginobili and former Lakers god Andrew Bynum are all sweet spots in the market.

Nick Young, Tony Allen, Korver, Matt Barnes, Mike Dunleavy and others are also outstanding role players.

and many other restricted free agents like Don Tian, Tyrek Evans, Brandon Jennings, and many others.

This year's free agent market is really lively.

What people didn't expect was that just after the door to free agents opened, several big signings in a row directly settled those big fish.

Howard and the Lakers agreed to a five-year, $118 million maximum salary contract, with a player option in the final year.

Previously, news broke that the Rockets launched a fierce chase for Howard, and at one point reached an intention.

But the Lakers didn't know what to do in the end and managed to keep Howard.

In this way, after stopping in the Western Conference semifinals last year, the Lakers F4 continues to attack for the championship.

Around the same time, Paul also agreed a five-year, $107 million contract with the Clippers, with a player option in the final year.

Although the Clippers made it to the first round last year, it was only Rivers' first year at the team, and for the Big Three, they clearly haven't reached their limits yet.

Just after these two signings, Iguodala's next home has also been confirmed.

After leading the team to the best record in team history, he finally did not choose to renew his contract, but chose to sign with the Warriors for 4 years and 48 million.

It's worth mentioning that the Warriors don't have that much salary space at this time, and it is foreseeable that a deal will be made in the future.

Al Jefferson signed Al Jefferson for 3 years and 41 million.

Jefferson got the highest-paid contract of his career, which was also the biggest signing of Joe's Bobcats career.

It seems that compared to Tang Tian, he obviously prefers a famous star like Jefferson.

With the twin stars of Walker and Jefferson, they can also go one step further this year after failing to make the playoffs last year.

Paul Millsap and the Hawks agreed to a two-year, $19 million contract.

……

This year's free agent market has been extremely fast, and it has also attracted a lot of buzz on social media.

"What's going on this year? Are all signing moves so fast? ”

"If there is a big name, of course, hurry up and grab it! Is it difficult to give competitors a chance? ”

"To be honest, I really didn't expect Howard to end up with the Lakers, didn't he say he didn't have a good relationship with Kobe?"

"Huomi is so heartbroken, I said before that Howard is coming, and if he comes to Houston, he can get more money and play happy basketball!"

"I think it's a shame because of the loss last season, they lost to the Spurs in the Western Conference semifinals, and the Spurs won the championship."

"Yes, this is the most important thing, it is good to have more money, but everyone has a heart."

"That's good, the Lakers are still the favorites to win the championship this season, and the West is still very exciting."

"Speaking of excitement, didn't you notice that Iguodala went to the Warriors?"

"I noticed, anyway, the Nuggets finished third in the West in the regular season last season, and then were eliminated by the Warriors in the first round, and Iguodala is the core of the Nuggets, so it's really good to join the team that eliminated him?"

"Surrender to the enemy! Ray Allen didn't do that before! ”

"Hey, this league really has someone taking the lead, there will be a succession of this kind of thing, the Celtics Big Three started the giant era, the Heat Big Three started the peak huddle, Ray Allen started to join the enemy, and I don't know what will happen after that."

"Maybe, perhaps, the player will ask for a trade to leave the team at the end of his contract?"

……

There was a lot of discussion among the fans, and on the afternoon of the 1st, Tang Tian ushered in the last team he met, the parent team Spurs.

The Spurs came in with two men, Popovich and Buford, at a local western restaurant.

Choosing the restaurant mainly for the convenience of drinking, Popovich ordered a bottle of '82-year-old Lafite.
