Owen went back to Cleveland that night after dinner.

He's not going to announce his departure from the Cavaliers tomorrow, but he's made up his mind and he'll need to do a lot of preparation.

At 2 p.m. the next day, the NBA free agency officially opened.

As in previous years, the moment the door opened, various signings directly bombarded the fans' eyes.

Compared with the fans who couldn't wait but could only go to the hospital to line up for a bed before, there is more news now that they can't brush it up.

The Hawks signed Bazemore to a four-year, $71 million extension;

The Timberwolves signed Jeff Teague for 3 years and 57 million;

……

The fans, who had been holding back for a week, were finally released on this day.

"5 million a year, Dirk really doesn't want money Nowitzki."

"I don't believe you when you say that the old driver and Cuban don't have any relationship, the Mavericks are going to the top in the new season!"

"I'll have to ask the Warriors and Pelicans if they say yes."

"Aren't there still knights? Speaking of which, both the Cavaliers and the Warriors have retained their original lineups, is this going to be with the Pelicans for another year? ”

"Pelican fans: I heard that you haven't changed, it's good, our dynasty is stable!"

"Since the new collective bargaining agreement came into effect, money is the number, and the starting salary of more than 10 million yuan in the past is not enough to sign a role player in more than 10 million years."

"At this point, you can't deny Xiao Hua's contribution to the league, if it weren't for the previous incident, I think the players would be very grateful to Xiao Hua."

"Anyway, how is Xiao Hua's depression? Theoretically, Tetum is only the acting president, right? Can Xiao Hua continue to be the president if he is well? ”

"Who knows, but theoretically, it's possible."

"It's a bit ironic to say, the Spurs renewed Mills' contract for 4 years and 50 million, and they refused to give Don a 4-year, 44 million contract ......"

"It's a bit of a heartache bro! But don't say it, Holt has a bad heart, and he can't stand it when he sees it. ”

"At this point and then, no one knew that the salary cap would rise like this, let alone Mills, Teague and Hill's contracts are almost 20 million."

"My Hawks are going to start rebuilding again, Teague, Millsap, Horford, Korver, the former F4 All-Stars are gone."

"It looks like the league is going to be similar to last season? Anyway, why hasn't George's matter moved yet? Whether to go to the pelican or not! ”

"I really want to see how George's Pelicans can defend their title? Why don't you have an 80 win? ”

"Thinking too much, I don't think it's possible for the Pacers to get George his way, and now that the president is Tytham, he has a similar style to Stern, and he won't allow such a trade to happen."

"Tangled, this damn free market, hurry up and update the news!"

……

The free agency market is open, and the signings are coming one after another, but there are still a lot of free agents who don't sign with the team.

For example, James, Hayward, Griffin, Lowry, Walker and other big-name players have not been heard yet.

The seemingly calm free agent market, which doesn't have too many surprises, is still surging undercurrent.

Just when fans were looking forward to a new signing, Woj broke a piece of news that shocked everyone.

Including Tang Tian.

According to Woj, Butler has requested a trade from Mavericks management and has designated the Pelicans as the next player!

This news is even more explosive than the previous George came.

Because the Mavericks were still fifth in the West last season, a five-star lineup, and Butler was also selected for the best first defense and best second team!

And most importantly, the Pelicans!

This is to know that the Pelicans' small forwards need to be strengthened, and they are all drilling to the Pelicans!

It's even funny that George and Butler are competing!

The fans on social media exploded again, and it was really a wave of unties.

"Don's Brothers Basketball!"

"Why don't you sign Walker too! Hard-working brothers! ”

"You're such a talented person, I'd love you to be the general manager of the Pelicans!"

"It's impossible for Walker, the Pelicans don't have space, and there's already Holiday there, but I think Butler can really do it, more reliable than George!"

"Yes, Butler is not only Don's brother, but also a fan brother! Every time Tang has negative news, he is the first to come out to support it, and he has also said N times in front of the media that Tang is his idol and role model! ”

"That's right, then there will be no ball possession and run-in problems, and the Pelicans will be greatly enhanced!"

"And Butler is tough in the playoffs, much tougher than George, and that's all that matters!"

"Come on, come on, George is not enough for another Butler, Demps, you give me some strength, you have to get one!"

"There are not enough beds again, nurses add bottles of water! It's a damn offseason! ”

……

The fans discussed it on social media, and Tang Tian didn't react a little after knowing the news.

Although the conflict between Butler and Carlisle was already there last season, it was not to the point of falling out.

And he also wanted to come to the Pelicans, Irving greeted him in advance, and also went to New Orleans on purpose.

But Butler didn't say anything.

This is obviously a bit unreasonable, if you want to talk about relationships, among the hard brothers, except for Walker, Butler has the best relationship with him.

Just when Tang Tian was puzzled, his mobile phone rang.

When I picked it up, it was Butler who called.

"Don, I'm coming to New Orleans!"

As soon as he spoke, Butler's tone was full of excitement.

"Why didn't you say hello to me beforehand?"

Tang Tian asked with a little reproach.

"I'm sorry, but I know you wouldn't let me do that if I said hello."

Butler was very frank about Tang Tian.

Tang Tian couldn't refute it for a while, it was true that he didn't like group basketball, and if he knew it in advance, he would definitely not let Butler do that.

Butler still knew him better than Irving.

"Can you tell me why?"

Tang Tian then asked.

"I knew from the management in Dallas that they wanted to trade me away."

"What?"

This answer made Tang Tian never expect that he thought that Butler and Carlisle were impulsive under the intensification of the conflict between Butler and Carlisle.
