Chapter 824: Breaking Up Is for Your Good (4/4!) )
After these trades, both the 76ers and the Celtics have been significantly strengthened, and they will also have a greater impact on the Nets.
The Nets still haven't made any moves.
Tang Tian was paying attention to the dynamics of each team, and at this moment, his ins had a new message reminder, and it was Sexton who opened it.
This guy really likes to play ins.
It's another state of practice: we don't have to worry about being traded.
Xeston, Porter, Ding Yanyuhang and Robinson are still the quartet.
Looking at them who were diligent, Tang Tian couldn't help but laugh, these young players are the future of the Nets.
After laughing, his gaze finally stayed on Ding Yanyuhang's body.
Kseston, Porter and Robinson are all rookies, and they are all standard first-round picks, and their contracts with the team can last up to four years, but Ding Yanyuhang is different.
Ding Yanyuhang signed a non-guaranteed contract with the Nets and can be cut at any time.
And he will be 27 years old soon, and he has reached the point where he basically misses the NBA if he can't play again, and the growth ceiling is also low.
However, he has the strength to compete in the NBA now, which can be seen from the fact that he once pressed Porter into the rotation at the beginning of the season, but then he was not very lucky, a wave of injuries and Porter's excellent performance, he fell out.
After all, the Nets are a championship team, and it is really difficult to enter the rotation in this kind of team.
Tang Tian has helped domestic basketball a lot in recent years, and he will naturally pay more attention to domestic players.
If Ding Yanyuhang continues to stay with the Nets, then by next summer, Porter and George will still be there, and it will be difficult for him to stay on the team, even if he barely stays on the team, he will have no chance to play.
And if he doesn't play in the NBA for a year or two, his trade value will drop and it will be difficult for him to get a chance to play in the NBA again.
Rather than waste it like this, it would be better to take advantage of his excellent performance at the beginning of the season to win the trade value and go to a team where he has a chance to play.
Thinking of this, Tang Tian called Jones and asked him to explore the trading value of Ding Yanyuhang in the market, and then made a phone call to Ding Yanyuhang and asked him to come to his manor.
Within an hour, Ding Yanyuhang appeared in Tang Tian's living room.
His demeanor was a little tired, which was normal after practice, but there was still a hint of nervousness between his eyebrows, after all, if he was called over before the trade deadline, there would definitely be no good news.
"I've talked to Keys about trading you to the Mavericks." Tang Tian said straight to the point.
"Already...... Sure? Ding Yanyuhang looked at Tang Tian and rubbed his hands unconsciously.
Tang Tian nodded.
"Xiaoding, this is also for your good, after Doncic entered the starter, they are now short of a small forward to come to the bench, with your current ability, you will get more playing time there." Tang Tian was not polite, and explained bluntly.
He used to coach the national team, and he still has some feelings for the national team.
Ding Yanyuhang is now one of the cores of the national team, and there is no need for him to pit the other party.
"And their general manager, Donnie Nelson, has a lot of fate with China, and I will let him take care of you a little more." Tang Tian added.
"I see." Ding Yanyuhang nodded vigorously after listening.
Tang Tiandu said it to this point, and he obviously cared about what he meant, and if he didn't appreciate it, his emotional intelligence was low.
Negotiations went quickly, and OJ was quick to report the trade as soon as the Nets sent Ding Yanyuhang to the Mavericks for Scottie Hopson and a 2020 second-round pick.
The Nets announced the cut of Hopson (non-guaranteed contract) immediately after the deal was made, reducing the team's roster to 14.
Obviously, after sending Ding Yanyuhang away, they are aiming for the buyout deadline after the All-Star break.
The Mavericks' official Twitter welcomed Ding Yanyuhang, and head coach Carlisle also gave Ding Yanyuhang a high evaluation.
There are all kinds of signs that the Mavericks still attach more importance to Ding Yanyuhang.
And after this near-whistle deal was reached, the trade deadline for the 18~19 season also came to an end.
The various giants have been more or less replenished, which makes fans have greater expectations for the playoffs.
Shortly after the trade deadline, the All-Star Game was held in Charlotte as scheduled.
Interestingly, Walker, who was originally selected for the All-Star bench, was sent to the Celtics at the trade deadline, so he will play for the Celtics instead of the original Hornets.
Charlotte, as the host city, did not have players in the All-Star Game, which is somewhat a pity.
The Nets' 49-5 record so far is the best in the league, but Tang Tian said it last year: This year, the Nets have a better record, but because he was already an All-Star head coach last year, he has no chance to coach today.
But that's also a good thing for him, and after announcing that this season is the final year, he's already starting to try to spend more time with his family in his life.
And the team's first assistant coach Frank was originally very qualified, and he has made significant progress in the past three years with him, and he can let go of this heart.
This year, Fran is the head coach of the rookie game for the U.S. team.
The time came to February 17, and the All-Star Game officially opened.
There was an accident on the first day of the Masters, Tang Tian took Swift and Hathaway to sit on the sidelines, and the slogan We Need Tang Tian sounded on the scene.
Although there is no so-called retirement tour, the fans' reluctance to Tang Tian is visible to the naked eye, and they seize the opportunity of the Celebrity Game to keep him.
The scene even naughtily released the unexpected scene of his participation in the Masters last year to defeat Rachel, which caused laughter at the scene.
Tang Tian smiled and shook his head.
In addition to the Nets' four players in the main game, Mitchell, Kuzma and Porter were all selected for the rookie game.
In addition to playing the rookie game, Mitchell also has to participate in the skills challenge and dunk contest, which is quite the style of Lillard back then.
In the end, his performance lived up to expectations.
First, he showed a completely crushing strength in the rookie game, easily scoring 36 points, and beating Simmons to be elected the MVP of the rookie game.
He also made it to the final of the Skills Challenge on the second day, beating his former teammate Markkanen to become the champion of the Skills Challenge.
The only slight regret is that he lost to Zach LaVine, the dunk king who returned from injury, in the final slam dunk contest he participated in, and he was unable to successfully defend his title.
But just like Lillard back then, Mitchell has proven his improvement with a series of performances, and he definitely has the potential to become a superstar.
