The deal is a bit different from previous fan predictions.

Neither Ariza nor Bojan were involved in the trade, but it was the team's first point guard of the past four years, the prospective All-Star Holiday who was sent out!

This has also ushered in a lot of discussion among fans on social media.

"Blood loss! Holiday and Jokic are gone! ”

"Although Butler is stronger than Holiday and Jokic, this deal is a real loss! Is the Pelicans really messing up?! ”

"Demps, this is really a donkey's head, this is self-destructive future! The three-time crown dynasty is gone! ”

"Good deal, well done!" Statements from Jokic fans.

"Am I the only one who thinks it's not a loss? Butler has proven how tough he is in the playoffs last season, and he and Tang Tian are hard-working brothers! ”

"I don't think it's a loss, Jokic's rookie contract expires next season, and the Pelicans may not necessarily renew it, but Holiday is a little reluctant!"

"yes, Holiday is hardworking, All-Star level, but he has been sacrificing on the Pelicans and was traded in the end, hey! The NBA is a business league! ”

"Butler, Don, Davis, the Pelicans are now a Big Three team! The trend of the alliance is unstoppable! ”

"Yes, George, LeBron, Whiteside, plus Love, Bucks, Irving, Brother Alphabet, and maybe others, exciting!"

"But what I kind of understand is, why would the Mavericks want Jokic, don't they already have Embiid?"

"Jokic's height is actually not enough to play five, he proved it with the Pelicans, rebounds are often suppressed, and in order to stand on the inside, he has to gain weight, and the final result is that the opponent is grabbed as a weakness, so I think it is completely possible for him to lose weight and play the No. 4 position."

"That's right, even if you can't play, you can trade it, a talented player of Jokic's level must be rushed by a bunch of teams!"

"Speaking of which, the Pelicans' choice is also a little incomprehensible, Ariza and Bojan didn't leave, and now Butler is here again, counting Don, who can also swing and play the No. 3 position, is this asking four people to make a table of mahjong?"

"And gone, who can play as a starter, Holiday gone? Brogdon? Williams? I think the Pelicans have obviously a deformed lineup after this trade! ”

"There's obviously a follow-up deal here, wait and see! I think with Demps's ability in previous years, he must have a backhand! ”

……

Fans are talking a lot on social media and are looking forward to the next direction of the free market.

There is a high probability that the Pelicans will have a follow-up trade, the Mavericks may also have this possibility, and even the Bucks and Cavaliers may have it.

While most of the players in the free market have already been signed and big deals have been made, there are countless possibilities for the future.

On the fourth day after the end of the freeze period, a reporter broke the news that Owen, who had just completed the transaction, appeared in Utah City with Brother Alphabet.

This move is quite interesting.

You must know that the Pelicans and Hayward have also been quite close before, and even before Demps made a statement, Hayward was already likely to join the Pelicans.

But now that the Pelicans have Butler, they naturally won't want Hayward.

That said, Hayward is still a full free agent right now.

After experiencing rumors of leaving, the Jazz team will most likely not want him, so his place is nothing more than the Celtics and a few other teams that still have space.

The Bucks weren't part of the ranks, but they can now replace the Pelicans and Jazz in a sign-and-trade.

While the chips may be a little worse, it's better for the Jazz than letting them go.

Once the Bucks get Hayward, the East will be buzzing next year.

In addition to the Cavaliers and Knicks, another team with absolute strength will emerge.

And what's more interesting is that this means that Irving, who just left the Cavaliers, is likely to meet the Cavaliers in the playoffs or even the Eastern Conference finals.

That's going to be very, very interesting.

While fans are still waiting for a possible Bucks Big Three, the Pelicans on the other side have already made a move.

Previous fan predictions on social media were right, the Pelicans now have a bloated roster, and a trade is imperative.

According to Woj's latest revelations, the Rockets, Pelicans, and Wizards have reached a three-way deal.

The Rockets sent this year's No. 27 picks Kuzma and Markieff Morris to get Ariza from the Pelicans;

The Wizards sent Andrew Nicholson (no guaranteed contract) and a future second-round pick to get Markieff Morris;

The Pelicans sent Ariza for Kuzma and Nicholson, as well as a future second-round pick from the Wizards.

After the trade was completed, the Pelicans immediately cut Nicholson.

This is equivalent to Ariza replacing Kuzma, the first-round pick of the Rockets this year.

"! The Pelicans are crazy! Demps is crazy! Ariza changed to a rookie at the end of the first round?! ”

"And as far as I know, this rookie isn't going to score three points yet...... And it's an older rookie, so it's a fart! ”

"I know Ariza is likely to leave, but please change someone who is a little more useful!"

"Vegetable forced Demps, or Morray, Morris was replaced by Ariza, perfect upgrade!"

"It's a pity that the Rockets couldn't get Butler, but Morey changed hands to make up for Ariza, and this operation is really Morey!"

"I heard that the Spurs can't clear the space over there, and Paul's contract extension with the Rockets is also certain, and I still look forward to the Rockets next year!"

"Yes, Paul is basically going to stay in the rocket for 5 years and 200 million, the largest contract in history!"

"The annual salary is 40 million!"

"Let's not talk about Paul, I think the Pelicans are going to break up! Holiday doesn't want it, Jokic doesn't want it, and now Ariza doesn't want it either! ”

"Xiao Hua is back, the Pelicans are really messed up, hey, it's a pity that a good dynasty team, poor Tang, was miserable by the management!"

……

Tang Tian's plan has the first step, the second step, followed by the third step and the fourth step.

However, the road has to be taken step by step, and it is easy to pull the egg when the step is big, and it is easy to have an accident if you take too many steps.

This was specially instructed by Tang Tian.

After making those two trades, the Pelicans suddenly quieted down.

It's like it's already all their deals.

Demps has been waiting for the past two days, on the one hand, waiting for Xiao Hua and the alliance's reaction, and on the other hand, waiting for the deal to be officially completed.

Two days later, both deals were officially announced, and the players also completed their medical examinations.

The Pelicans bid farewell to Holiday , Jokic, Ariza and other champions, and welcomed a group of newcomers such as Butler and Kuzma.

Demps felt that Tang Tian had overestimated Xiao Hua.

The nature of the country is easy to change, Xiao Hua is just a short-sighted person in the end, and he can't see what the Pelicans want to do at all.
