However, Tang Tian doesn't like the Big Three, in fact, it's not just because he doesn't like the group, he is more worried about the future of the team.

The Big Three need to be run-in, whether it is the Big Three of the Heat, the Big Three of the Cavaliers, or even the Big Three of the Rockets and the Lakers, there will be problems in the run-in process, all of which are the result of 1+1+1<3.

Because everyone is a supergiant, someone has to sacrifice the ball and status, and after sacrifice, it is not only personal data that is lost, but also money.

The NBA is a commercial league, and the player's playing money must come first, and nothing can be left without money.

So no matter how big the gimmick is, it will definitely be a break up in the end.

To put it bluntly, this is drinking to quench thirst, and quick success.

Of course, Tang Tian also has his reasons for not objecting, he has always been giving advice to management before, rather than really being the general manager of the Pelicans.

The team has a chance to strengthen and he won't stop it.

And the most important thing is that he has absolute confidence in his own strength, after all, Jordan has more Pippen or Jordan by his side.

As we enter the fourth day of free agency, most of the rotation and role players have already settled.

It was at this time that Woj's disciple Shams exposed the news that Hayward and the Pelicans are very close, and the Pelicans and Jazz have a good chance of reaching a trade-before-and-back deal, and the main reason for this deal is the Pelicans' head coach Stevens, and the two sides are likely to work together again since the NCAA.

In February, the NBA's most recognizable sports reporter, Jnarowski, better known to fans as Woj, switched to ESPN.

Yahoo's number one reporter also went from Woj to his erstwhile protégé

Like the fierce free market, the news war is raging.

While Woj has beaten the shams for most of the year, this time the shams got the lead.

After the news was exposed, it immediately attracted another heated discussion among fans on social media.

"George, Butler, Hayward, these are three top small forwards competing for the Pelicans' starting small forward?!"

"The temptation of the dynasty is too great! And if the Pelicans can get one of them, the dynasty's certainty will skyrocket! ”

"I don't think George and Butler have much chance, the Pacers won't go as George wants, and the Mavericks can't make their main rivals stronger, but Hayward, a free agent, can just trade one."

"Holiday + Don + Hayward + Davis + Jokic, this lineup is scary enough! I think this league is really coming to an end! ”

"Isn't Tytum Stern's shadow! Stop this deal! If this succeeds, the NBA is completely finished! "A statement from a Harrell fan.

"Agreed, no one wants to watch the NBA without suspense!" Statements from Forbes fans.

"It's alright! Didn't you say that when Durant went to the Warriors? There's no finale! ”

"I think it's hard to stop, George and Butler's words have a reason to get it, but Hayward basically doesn't have a chance."

"It's over, it's over, the alliance is over!"

……

When one star after another jumped out and said that they wanted to go to the Pelicans, fans felt more and more that the Pelicans' dynasty was irreversible.

Even because the Pelicans completed a back-to-back championship and replaced the Warriors as the public enemy of fans, most fans began to be dissatisfied with Tatum.

Just as Stern was to James and Xiao Hua was to the Warriors, now fans also feel that Tytum is no different from Tang Tian and Pelicans.

In the midst of such sounds, the free market entered its fifth day after opening.

Hayward and the Pelicans are closely linked, and among the big-name free agents, only Kemba Walker is left to jump out of his contract.

According to Woj, the contract extension negotiations between the Hornets and Walker have stalled, and the two sides have a big difference in the contract amount, and it is expected that it will be difficult for Walker to get a four-year contract with a maximum salary after most teams have completed roster additions.

Walker's current situation is very embarrassing.

After playing the peak season of his career last year, theoretically speaking, as the Hornets' top card in the past six years, a contract extension with a maximum salary is a certainty.

Because the Ross clause was not triggered, his five-year contract only needs 160 million for five years, which is perfectly reasonable at the price of the free market right now.

But negotiations between Hornets management and Walker have been stalled.

Jordan's attitude makes it seem difficult for the two sides to reach such a contract.

And other teams are also skeptical about Walker's strength, after all, Walker's height is there, and they are also worried that Walker is only breaking out in a contract year.

Tang Tian was on vacation before and a bunch of people wanted to talk about the Pelicans, and Walker didn't contact him, he didn't notice Walker, thinking that he had signed early.

He didn't notice until Woj burst out.

His first reaction was that Jordan was really pitted, and this attitude towards the team's 6-year top card was this way.

Compare the Lakers, the Trail Blazers, and even the Rockets, and the difference is not half a star.

And this pit is not only emotional, but also a huge pit at the commercial level.

Charlotte is not much different from the previous New Orleans ball market, to put it bluntly, no star wants to come to such a place.

The best example of this is the historical Cleveland, even if James returns to win the championship, no star wants to come.

It's not even a question of how good the team is.

The same can be said of the Pelicans, who have been playing single- or dual-core basketball since winning last year's championship.

This year, there are stars willing to come on the one hand because of the temptation of the dynasty, and on the other hand, Tang Tian's existence has opened up the ball market, not only locally but also overseas.

In other words, although New Orleans is still a relatively small city, the ball market has been greatly propped up.

So for the Hornets, even if Walker is not worth the maximum salary in their eyes, they have to renew the contract with the maximum salary, because if Walker is gone and no one comes, the Hornets will be finished.

And the last layer, you Jordan has such an attitude towards the team, and the other players are even more reluctant to go to Charlotte.

This is also one of the reasons why Tang Tian didn't notice that Walker was important, because no matter how the Hornets look at it, there is no reason not to renew the contract.

But the matter has come to this point, Tang Tian took the initiative to call Walker and help him analyze what to do next.

By this time in free agency, there are not many teams left with enough salary space.

Among the remaining teams, the Celtics, Lakers, 76ers, and Wizards are just four teams.

Tang Tian's advice to Walker is to let his agent contact him, the 4-year maximum salary is the best result, and if he can't succeed, sign 1+1.

Walker's strength Tang Tian knows, the strength of the super top salary is not enough, and the top salary is still okay.

Walker did what Tang Tian said, and it quickly got results.
