Tang Tian saw this scene in the draft hut.

Embiid, Nowitzki, and now Booker, and Carlisle, still have plenty of salary space, and they are going to rise next season.

His crossing changed a lot of things, and even his competitors changed with it.

Warriors, Rockets, Spurs, Clippers, Grizzlies, Mavericks, the competition in the new season of the West will become more and more fierce.

Especially in the Northwest Division where the Pelicans are in the Northwest Division, the Texas Top Three plus the Grizzlies and Mavericks, the new season is really the Death Division.

The draft is still going on, the lottery is finishing one after another, and the Pelicans' favorite Bobby Portis is still in the little green room.

It seems that they are very dramatic.

The draft unwittingly went to the 23rd pick, which has been traded to the Wizards, and Woj has broken the news that the Wizards are interested in Portis.

"We have a deal."

At this moment, Demps put down the phone and said to Tang Tian.

"The Wizards?"

Tang Tian asked.

The Pelicans want to acquire Portis, and now they are trading for the Wizards.

If they can do that, they will be able to keep Portis down.

"No, it's related to Eric."

However, out of Tang Tian's surprise, what Demps said was related to Gordon.

He frowned slightly, it seemed that Portis was gone, and he had to choose others from the rest.

"What deal?"

Portis is gone, so don't think about it anymore, Tang Tian also listens to Demps's words.

"It was the Nets who proposed that they want to trade Gordon on a sign-and-trade basis, with Thaddeus Young and this year's 45th pick."

Young's contract with the Nets expires this season, and now he is a free agent, and the Nets are trying to empty the gloves of the White Wolves!

Although Gordon has only one year left on his contract and didn't perform too well last season, the Nets have a bit of a good idea of this trade.

Tang Tianzheng wanted to say that he would refuse directly, but at this moment, he suddenly remembered someone.

When the Pelicans traded with the Nets last season, at first, at the suggestion of Tang Tian, they wanted Bojan Bogdanovic, but the Nets refused, and after discussion, it was changed to Teletovic.

"You trade Gordon for Bojan Bogdanovich."

Tang Tian opened his mouth and said.

Demps nodded and continued to communicate with the Nets.

Because of the previous team's tactical system, the Pelicans originally had more three-point shooters, and now that D'Antoni is in charge, they will need more.

Bojan's three-point shooting is excellent, and it would be great if he could be traded.

The Pelicans now have Dinwiddie on the bench with the ball, and an off-ball player like Bojan is what the Pelicans need more.

Negotiations on Demps' side seem to be going on for a while, as the Pelicans' draft picks approach, Don and Rausa are starting to confirm their picks.

Portis has already been drafted by the Wizards with the 23rd pick, and their remaining picks are Nance Jr., Osman and Harrell.

In the end, at Tang Tian's suggestion, the Pelicans decided to choose Harrell.

Portis is the immediate force, and Harrell is the potential stock.

The advent of the small-ball era is irreversible, and Harrell can top the No. 5 position in the small-ball era.

The rookie has a four-year contract, and Harrell is developing it, and he will definitely be able to use it in the future.

The Cavaliers selected Osman with the 27th pick, and they had a similar idea to the Pelicans.

This kind of rookie at the end of the first round will have a hard time to play on a championship team, so it is better to pick a rookie with potential.

After the Cavaliers were selected, Xiao Hua walked to the front of the stage behind the scenes for the 28th time.

The boos were even worse.

The next pick is the Pelicans, and they know that the Pelicans' loss to the Warriors last season had a lot to do with Xiao Hua.

"With the 28th pick in the first round in 2015, the New Orleans Pelicans selected Montreis Harrell, and the 2.03m power forward came from the University of Louisville."

Harrell stood up excitedly when he heard that he had been picked by the Pelicans.

The Pelicans are strong right now, one of the favorites to win the championship, and the Pelicans don't have a proper No. 4 spot right now, which is a great opportunity for him.

Pelican fans at the scene were also cheering.

In the past, this kind of short power forward was not very popular in the league, and Derrick Williams and Beasley were typical of them.

But now that the small-ball era is coming, Harrell is the right interior player for this era.

After the Pelicans drafted, the Nets (the Hawks draft pick was traded) and the Warriors all finished their selections, and the first-round draft ended.

The Pelicans don't have a second-round pick this year, so if they want to pick someone, they can only buy them.

However, there are not many suitable candidates in the second round this year, and the Pelicans have a complete roster, spending money on draft picks, and ending up with a result like Tyler Johnson last season doesn't make much sense.

In other words, the Pelicans' mission for this year's draft is accomplished, and if there are no other trades, they are ready to withdraw early.

Over there, Demps was still communicating with Max, the general manager of the Nets.

And from what he said, it seems that this is not just a trade between the two teams, but also a third-party team, the Cavaliers.

After a few minutes, Demps put down the phone and told Tang Tian about the latest situation.

The Nets are willing to give Bojan to the Pelicans, but they need more in return.

The Cavaliers are interested in Thaddeus Young, but because they want to re-sign Love and Tristan Thompson, they don't want to sign Young now, but want to use trade exceptions and additions to sign first and then trade for Young.

Now the three parties have negotiated a three-way deal.

The Pelicans got Gordon out, got trade exceptions for Bojan and the Cavaliers, and added players;

The Nets brought in Thaddeus Young and Bojan, got Gordon and more;

Now for the trade to be successful, the first thing to determine is who the Cavaliers are adding, and the second thing is to find a way to give the Nets more returns.

Tang Tian asked Demps to show him the current roster of the Cavaliers.

After sweeping, his gaze quickly locked on a person.

Joe Harris, the Cavaliers' second-round pick last year, basically didn't play much playing time with the Cavaliers.

If the Pelicans wanted him, the Cavaliers wouldn't say no.

"I want him."

Tang Tian gave Demps a very clear message.

He knows Joe Harris, a future first-class three-point shooter.

Moreau's age is inevitable, and like Harrell, Harris is preparing for the future.

Demps had an answer, then turned around and went on to make a three-way deal.

Selecting Harrell, the Pelicans' draft this year is basically up to standard, and if they can still get the best role players like Bojan and Harris, it will definitely be overdone.

When Demps put down the phone and told the three-way deal, it showed that the three parties had basically reached an agreement, and the difference was only in the details.

Sure enough, after a while, Demps put down the phone and signaled that the deal was done.
