This deal is somewhat different from previous fans' predictions.

Neither Ariza nor Boyan were involved in the transaction. Instead, the team's point guard, the quasi-All-star Holiday, who was sent out in the past four years!

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

"Blood loss! Holiday and Jokic are both gone!"

"Although Butler's strength is stronger than Holiday and Jokic, this deal is a real loss! Is the Pelicans really in a mess?!"

"Demps is really stuck in his head by a donkey. This is a self-destruction of his future! The three consecutive championship dynasty is gone!"

"Good deal, nice job!" from Jokic fans.

"Does I think it's not a loss? Butler has proved how hard he is in the playoffs last season, and he and Tang Tian are brothers who work hard!"

"I don't think it's a loss. Jokic's rookie contract will expire next season. The Pelicans may not be able to renew it, just Holiday is a little reluctant to let it go!"

"Yes, Holiday works hard and has an all-star rank, but he has been sacrificing his life in the Pelicans and was finally traded. Alas! NBA is a business league!"

"Butler, Don, Davis, and the Pelicans are now the Big Three teams! The trend in the league is unstoppable!"

"Yes, Cavaliers George, LeBron, Whiteside, and Love, Bucks Irving, Antetokounmpo, and maybe others, exciting!"

"But what I understand is, why did the Mavericks ask Jokic? Didn't they already have Embiid?"

"Jokic's height is actually not enough to play five. He proved this in the Pelicans. The rebounds are often suppressed, and in order to stay in the inside, he has to gain weight. The final result is that he is caught and beaten by his opponent as a weakness, so I think it is entirely possible for him to lose weight and play the fourth position."

"Yes, even if you can't make it, you can trade. A talented player of Jokic level must be rushing to get a bunch of teams!"

"When it comes to this, the Pelicans' choice is a bit incomprehensible. Ariza and Boyan have not left. Now Butler is here again. Including Don, who can also play No. 3, is he going to have to make a table of mahjong for four people?"

"And who can play Holiday? Brogdon? Williams? I think the Pelicans' lineup is obviously deformed after this deal!"

"There is obviously a follow-up deal, wait and see! I think with Demps' ability in previous years, he must have a backup plan!"

...

Fans are talking about it on social media and are increasingly looking forward to the direction of the free market in the future.

The Pelicans are likely to have subsequent deals, and the Mavericks have this possibility, and even the Bucks and the Cavaliers may have it.

Although most players in the free market have signed contracts and big deals have been completed, the countless possibilities that exist in the future are exciting.

On the fourth day after the freezing period, a reporter broke the news that Irving, who had just completed the transaction, appeared in Utah City with Antetokounmpo.

This move is quite eye-catching.

You should know that the Pelicans were quite close to Hayward before, and even before Demps issued a statement, Hayward was likely to join the Pelicans.

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

In other words, Hayward is still a complete free agent now.

After experiencing rumors of leaving, the Jazz are likely not going to want him, so his place is nothing more than a few teams such as the Celtics who still have room.

The Bucks were not in this ranks, but they can now replace the Pelicans and Jazz to sign first and then exchange.

Although the chips may be a little worse, it is better for the Jazz than letting them go in vain.

Once the Bucks win Hayward, the East will be lively next year.

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

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

That must be a very, very interesting thing.

While fans are still waiting for the possible Big Three of the Bucks, the Pelicans have taken action on the other hand.

Fans’ predictions on social media were correct before. The Pelicans are now bloated in line and trading is imperative.

According to WOJ's latest revelation, the Rockets, Pelicans and Wizards reached a tripartite deal.

The Rockets sent out this year's No. 27 pick Kuzma, Markieff Morris, and got Ariza from the Pelicans;

The Wizards sent Andrew Nicholson (unsecured contract) and a future second-round draft pick, and won Markieff Morris;

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

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

This is equivalent to Ariza changing to the Rockets' first-round pick Kuzma this year.

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

"And as far as I know, this rookie won't have three points... and she is an older rookie, so it's useless!"

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

"It's a waste of Demps, but Morey's slightest calculation. Morris has been replaced by Ariza, and it's perfectly upgraded!"

"It's a pity that the Rockets failed to get Butler, but Morey made up for Ariza with this move. This operation is indeed very Morey!"

"I heard that the Spurs couldn't clear the space there, and Paul's contract renewal with the Rockets was a foregone conclusion. I still keep looking forward to the Rockets next year!"

"Yes, Paul basically needs 200 million yuan to stay in the Rockets in five years, the largest contract in history!"

"The annual salary is 40 million!"

"Let's not talk about Paul for now. 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's comeback, and the Pelicans are really in a mess. Alas, it's a pity that a good dynasty team has been pitied by Tang, and he was cheated by the management!"

...

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

However, you have to walk step by step. If you take a big step, it is easy to pull the egg, and if you take too much, it is easy to get accidents.

This was specially instructed by Tang Tian.

After completing these two trades, the Pelicans suddenly became quiet.

It's like this is already all their deals.

Demps has been waiting for the past two days, on the one hand, waiting for Xiao Hua and the league to react, and on the other hand, waiting for the transaction to be officially completed.

Two days later, both transactions were announced one after another, and the players also completed physical examinations one after another.

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 overestimated Xiao Hua.

It is easy to change the country and nature is hard to change. Xiao Hua is just a short-sighted person after all, and he can't see what the Pelicans want to do.
