Just the first step?!

Demps looked at Tang Tian in surprise.

He suddenly understood what the so-called revenge society was.

It's ready not to give other teams a way to live!

And after all the public statements on the TNT show didn't work, it seems like the most straightforward way to solve it!

Directly ruin next season!

"But before we get out of the next few steps, we have to take our time and not let the alliance stop the deal from happening."

The previous Hayward trade had made him a little more wary.

Tatum can do it, and Xiao Hua can do it too.

Demps nodded to indicate that he understood.

"The second step is to clear up enough salary space."

Tang Tian continued.

Previously, he did not support the Pelicans trading George Butler, in addition to not liking the huddle, another important reason is that trading means destroying the roster and trading the original people.

This team has just completed a back-to-back championship, morale is high, and everyone is running for the dynasty.

You're going to send them away now, especially if it's definitely an important rotation or even a starter, which is cold-blooded from a team perspective.

But things have come to this point, and those are no longer taken care of.

"And then?"

"Sign Walker."

Tang Tian said calmly.

But after he said that, Demps gasped.

He almost forgot about Walker!

Walker hasn't officially signed yet!

Walker's strength is at an All-Star level, and he also played at the peak of his career last season, and his form is also the best after entering the league.

He was cold in free agency, on the one hand, defense and height, but on the other hand, the Hornets dragged on for a few days, and many teams ran out of space.

Just like Leonard, who Tang Tian knew in his previous life, after a week, the recruitment space of several teams waiting for him was infinitely compressed.

But even then, the Celtics have now offered Walker a four-year max contract.

So in terms of strength alone, Walker is not bad.

Of course, more importantly, Walker and Tang Tian were teammates in the NCAA era! And it is the best relationship with Tang Tian among the hard training brothers!

So tacit understanding won't be a problem at all!

So before the official signing, as long as Tang Tian makes a move, Walker will definitely join the Pelicans!

Walker + Butler + Tang Tian + Davis + whatever!

Two best three formations, two best formations! The first person in a league!

Also, two two defenses, one one defense!

This lineup is really going to ruin the world!

What's more, although Tang Tian and Butler's current contracts are the highest salary, they were all signed before, and they are only about $20 million.

They have a chance to keep Louis Williams, Brogdon, Bojan, and Harrell as they clear their salary space!

This lineup, in a word, the other 29 teams don't have to play next season!

Play with your mom! Give me the ball, I'm going home!

"Kemba's defense isn't going to be that bad, and with me and Jimmy and AD, it's not a problem at all."

Seeing that Demps didn't speak, Tang Tian added.

"Yes, yes."

Demps said hurriedly.

He is very calm on the surface, but he has already set off turbulent waves in his heart.

This is the first time I found out that the NBA can still play like this!

He is even looking forward to breaking the team's record of 74 wins next season!

"And I don't have to worry about the run-in, I train together with Kemba, Jimmy, and AD every summer."

Tang Tian then added.

Walker and he were teammates at UCn, Butler was the earliest member of the Hardworking Brothers, and Davis, although he joined later, also practiced together for four years.

So the chemistry or something, it's not a problem at all.

And they knew in practice that Walker and Davis were exceptionally good at pick-and-rolls.

Walker was the most efficient player in the league after blocking last season, and Davis was the second-highest.

In fact, he is quite looking forward to what kind of performance the two will play on the same team.

"Enough, enough."

Temples clutched his hands to his chest.

He was afraid that he would not be able to stand it like Holt.

"It's just that Nikolai is a pity."

Demps took a few deep breaths before speaking.

If Jokic can be retained, it will be a quasi-five-star lineup, and other teams will really make a "wdnmd" sound.

"Nikola's contract expires next year, and with the new penalty scale, his performance is declining, and although it is a pity, he is the key to getting Butler."

Tang Tian opened his mouth and said.

The rules create stars, not everyone is O'Neal, the league that can play changes the rules, and more players are still adapting to the rules.

Like the current N'Golo Kante, he would have been an inside killer, but he struggled under the rules of the small-ball era.

But last season he picked up and felt like he's back at the top.

It's also an important part of the Nuggets' willingness to be a third party to eat his contract.

Jokic dropped out of the starting line in the playoffs last season, and while his performance is still efficient, a contract extension will be a problem.

His talent cap salary is certainly worth it, but for the Pelicans, it hurts to get a top salary off the bench, even if it's the sixth man.

I didn't digest this file, but I was barely able to accept it.

But now that Xiao Hua has come out, he can only give up the small for the big.

"I know, I'll come step by step."

Demps nodded.

When Demps left, Tang Tian sat down on the sofa.

His emotions did not become very excited because of the upcoming brother basketball, but there was some indescribable sadness.

This planB was not what he wanted, and to do this, Holiday and Ariza, who were teammates who fought together at the beginning, were bound to leave.

These teammates who have been together for three or four years are false to say that they have no feelings, especially Holiday who has also taken a pay cut for the Pelicans.

He's not cold-blooded, but, as Barkley says, he's more of a lover.

This can be seen from his attitude when he left the Spurs.

He was forced to the point where he had to leave the Spurs at the end, but when Popovich said that Duncan was retiring, he would still say things like, "If Duncan is not retired, as long as the Spurs match the contract, I will still choose to stay."

This is probably the result of age.

Just like now, if it weren't for the alliance and Xiao Hua pushing things to this extent, he wouldn't have chosen to come this far.

But now there is no other option.

This may be the source of his inner sadness.

Or maybe it's not just because of him, but because he's grieving for the other 29 teams.

The mistakes made by Xiao Hua and the team owners are ultimately borne by them.

They, probably every night they play against the Pelicans, will be shrouded in dark clouds and cast shadows.

It's really sad too.
