The first thousand and forty-four chapters open and secret struggle

Just when everything calmed down and the outside world thought the Pelicans had finished strengthening during the offseason, woj broke out again.

The Pelicans and the Clippers and Pacers reached a three-party deal!

The Pelicans sent out Louis Williams and received the Pacers' No. 18 picks Jarret Allen and Alan Anderson (unsecured contract);

The Clippers sent Alan Anderson, this year's No. 17 TJ Leaf, and got Louis Williams.

The Pacers sent Jarret Allen and got TJ Ruff.

And at the same time, the Pelicans announced that they had waived the insecurity contract player Nicholson obtained from the previous transaction.

After the news broke, it attracted heated discussions from fans.

After Holiday, Jokic and Ariza, another Pelicans' champion was sent away!

And according to woj, this is not the last trade for the Pelicans.

The Pelicans were panicked inside and the outside world was also talking nonstop.

This is really like fans are talking about on social media. Xiao Hua's comeback has ruined Demps' position, and the Pelicans are really going to disband!

New York headquarters.

"We have to stop them, they are clearing the cap space! They will send Boban away next!"

Borgia reacted quickly and realized what the Pelicans were going to do, so he immediately reported to Xiao Hua.

“What are they going to do to clean up the space?”

Xiao Hua was still confused. It was reasonable for Ariza to send him away, and it was impossible for him to be asked for him again with Butler.

This is also the reason why they thought the Pelicans would not have any follow-up moves before.

But sending Williams away now is indeed confusing. You should know that even if the Pelicans are cleaning up space, there is no one in the free market.

"Kemba Walker, he hasn't officially signed yet!"

Borgia gave him his guess.

Although Walker has always been in touch with the Celtics, he has not had any contact with the Pelicans since the free market opened.

But the relationship between Walker and Tang Tian cannot escape, and now he has not officially signed with the Celtics for a long time, so he is probably waiting for the Pelicans!

Only Walker is worthy of the Pelicans sending away low-paying and high-energy players like Ariza and Williams!

And this can be seen from their sending Ariza and Williams, which is just a trade that can be seen by inside players.

Kuzma and Allen, a 4-position, a 5-position, plus David West and Dior who may renew their contracts.

The Pelicans' next move must be to trade for the Boston!

Even now he doubts that the Pelicans dared to use Holiday as bargaining chip to trade Butler, which had already been negotiated with Walker!

Xiao Hua also suddenly reacted.

If Walker goes to the Pelicans, there is no team that is the Pelicans' opponent!

Tang Tiandu led the team to win the championship with a lineup like last season. If it were the four-star Pelicans, other teams would not have to play.

Even if he intends to help the Warriors or the Cavaliers, they will never win the Pelicans!

In other words, if Walker goes to the Pelicans, the NBA will be really finished next season.

This is not just about who won the championship. In the season without any suspense, the NBA's ratings will definitely plummet when sweeping all the way.

He doesn't care about the rest. If the bosses earn less money during his inspection period, the benefits he promised before would not be able to reach the position, and he would use his toes to know that he would definitely step down again.

This damn Pelicans, this is going to kill him!

"I'll call Ballmer."

Xiao Hua turned around and called.

He had to stop the deal, and he wanted all other teams to stop making deals with the Pelicans.

In this way, the Pelicans cannot clear up their salary space, so there is no way to talk about signing Walker.

The Pelicans can drag it out, but Walker can't afford it. The private relationship between friends is not as good as real money, not to mention that it is a contract worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.

A day later, Woj gave the latest news, Louisville Williams failed his physical examination in Los Angeles, and the Pelicans' three-party trade failed!

This news has once again attracted heated discussion among fans.

"Good news! Williams doesn't have to leave!"

"But I haven't heard that Williams is injured? Or is he always fighting with injuries?"

"I think the Clippers are more likely to renege. They put the Pelicans in a row, so Williams is afraid he will never trade it!"

"Hehe, you have forgotten the Pelicans' 58-point tragedy against the Clippers so quickly? It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years!"

...

In Tang Tian’s manor, Walker, Tang Tian and Demps were sitting together to communicate.

"Louis failed the physical examination and came suddenly. I contacted other teams. Even if it was for free, they were unwilling to take over."

Demps said anxiously.

The failure of the physical examination made other teams worry.

"What was expected."

Tang Tian was very calm.

Demps looked at him with confusion. Tang Tian had never said this before.

"Xiao Hua was dormant for the past six months. It would be strange if he didn't make any progress. He probably said hello to the Clippers before this happened."

Tang Tian spoke and analyzed.

The Clippers are in Los Angeles, and the teams in big cities value interests more, so it is normal for some communication behind them.

As for failing the physical examination, this kind of thing has never been explained. The Pistons used this method to trick the Rockets.

Demps also understood after hearing this. No wonder Williams, who had not been injured before, failed the physical examination, and the Clippers could also provide an official medical examination report.

"But in this way, it will be more difficult to send out the contract for Boban in the future, and we may not be able to clear out the salary space."

Demps said and glanced at Walker.

Walker is a complete free agent, and the only obstacle to signing him is cap space.

"Or what if I cut my salary and sign a 1+1 contract."

Walker said.

Walker quickly agreed when Tang Tian called him to come to the Pelicans.

The neglect of the free market made him feel the cold blood of the capitalist, and he wanted to take revenge on society more than Tang Tian.

"A 1+1 contract is OK, so we can renew the contract next year."

Demps nodded immediately.

According to the current situation, the Pelicans only have about 10 million in salary space, but they can pay a maximum salary if they renew their contracts next year.

This would save more than 10 million, so he would naturally be happy.

Tang Tian shook his head.

Let Walker sign a contract of 10 million is not just a loss of more than 10 million.

The data of Walker's four giants next year can be predicted to decline.

Now everyone sits together and says that they will definitely give the maximum salary, but next year there will be good players in the free market, Demps may not say that.

Demps is not his personal representative, but the Pelicans' management.

Tang Tian’s commercial value is here, and it is not a problem no matter how big the contract is given, but Walker is different.

It would be a bit funny if Walker only got 10 million a year after his peak season.

And Xiao Hua will definitely seize this idea and try to stop it.

After all, such a contract seems abnormal, and abnormal things are easy to make up reasons.

"But if this is not the case, Kemba won't come."

Demps continued.

Because of Xiao Hua's intervention, things became complicated, and they seemed to have to do a multiple-choice question or take some risks.

"I remember you told me before that Xiao Hua's return votes were just 24, right?"

Tang Tian suddenly said suddenly.
