Chapter 1189 The New Orleans Spurs

"I heard that there was something wrong with Tony's contract renewal negotiations with the Spurs."

In Tang Tian’s manor, Demps looked sad.

Durant signed with the Lakers, and the decision made after both Walker and Butler decided to join the new team, the Pelicans were cheated.

But now that things have come to this point, he can only choose to continue to make the final repairs to the team's lineup.

After signing Jeff Green, the Pelicans only need to find another veteran point guard.

What he is talking about now is Parker.

Parker is not young and has performed well last season, but he is FMVP after all, and the lean camel is bigger than a horse.

And he and Tang Tian are former teammates.

"Tony can still fight, and when he comes, he happens to be a mentor for Alexander."

Tang Tian agreed with Demps' choice.

He knew that Parker had been playing in the Hornets this season for a year, and there was still a lot of oil in his mailbox.

Demps quickly contacted Parker with Tang Tian’s approval.

Within two days, the two sides reached a contract of 12 million for two years and the second year as the player option.

After Walker and Butler left, the Pelicans have a lot of room for the new season and will not be stingy in signing.

After this signing was reached, Parker, who had been with the Spurs for the first 17 years, switched to the Pelicans in his 18th year.

According to some subsequent news, the person who made all this happen was Popovich.

The old man hopes that Parker can play the role of mentor at the end of his career, his playing time will be further reduced, and the contract he signed is like the basic salary.

But Parker doesn't want to do that.

This choice is not surprising.

Just so happens, Popovich's change of direction gave the Pelicans an assist.

After signing Parker, the Pelicans' 15-man roster is already full.

Point Guard: Brogden, Alexander, Parker

Segment guards: Tang Tian, ​​Ding Yanyuhang, Alonzo Trier

Little Former: Green, Jay Claude, Kuzma, Jeff Green

Big Forbid: Davis, Siakam

Center: Dedmond, Harrell, Mitchell Robinson

On the back line, rookie Alexander is expected to get a lot of playing time.

Considering that Ding Yanyuhang and Trier are not very strong, Parker is likely to enter the regular rotation.

As fans analyzed on the front line, Green and Davis will be, and Siakam will become the sixth man in the team in the new season.

If the team plays first, first, first, first and first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first,

Claude, Kuzma, and Jeff Green will compete for another rotation spot.

Harrell will get more playing time than last season if he is inside.

Although this lineup has weakened a lot compared to last season's overall strength, it can still be seen.

And it's very interesting that Parker, Green, Tang Tian, ​​including the newly retired Dior, the Pelicans are the New Orleans Spurs.

While the Pelicans and other teams were making small repairs, the Lakers' trade finally came to an end.

The Lakers did not find a third-party team to help them complete the Oladipo deal.

Strong teams do not want the Lakers to continue to become stronger, while weak teams cannot meet the price of the Thunder's first-round pick and strong players.

The Lakers and Thunder trade ended in a bad mood.

In the end, the Lakers could only start the D plan and reach a deal with the Pacers.

Bowerga traded a 5.5 million exception for Middleton and a second-round draft pick in 2019.

Middleton averaged 22+5+5 per game with the Pacers last season, but he signed 70 million in five years with the Bucks in 2015, and his contract for the new season was only 13 million.

This is really good quality and low price.

But as fans knew before, Middleton's contract has a player option next season, and this contract is actually only one year.

In terms of chips, the Lakers will definitely lose money.

But the problem is that they have no choice.

Moreover, Middleton can shoot and play with the ball. If he can stay next year, the Lakers will definitely make a fortune.

After completing Middleton's deal, other Lakers signings have also been carried out one after another.

10 million yuan contract renewal for Pope;

2 years and 10 million yuan renewal of Brooke Lopez;

Signed to Stephenson in 1 year with 5 million;

1 year minimum salary renewal;

Sign McGee at 1 year's minimum salary;

Signed with Reggie Brock at the bottom of 1 year;

Sign Caruso with a minimum salary of 1 year;

The Lakers lineup in the new season.

:Simmons + Middleton + Durant + James + Lopez.

Substitutes: Caruso, Brock, Stephenson, Pope, Hart, Fry, McGee, Zubac.

This lineup definitely has the strength to challenge the Spurs and Pelicans.

However, some fans on social media also questioned the compatibility between Simmons and James.

Through James' career experience in playing for so many years, his teammates basically have to have the ability to shoot from the outside.

This issue was also thrown into the face of Simmons and James.

The answers of the two were also very interesting.

"You only have one way to get the answer."

Simmons' answer is very indirect, but the meaning is easy to understand, that is, there will be an answer until the regular season starts.

But such an answer is the same as no answer.

In comparison, James' answer has more reference significance.

"I can open up space, I, Kevin, Brooke, Chris, all, so that's not a problem, and man, I'll help him train shooting, I have experience in that."

Simmons is known as the second generation of James. Although his strength is not as strong as James in his childhood, his playing style is really similar.

So James would be very kind to see Simmons, just like seeing his young self.

And as he said, his shooting has never been done, and he has great experience in this area.

James's answer also gave Lakers fans great confidence.

The Lakers not only have the present, but also the future.

Preparation for pregnancy was successful, the lineup was finalized, and the free market was almost over. Tang Tian opened his new offseason training camp in New Orleans.

Walker and Butler have recently solved their housing problems in the new city and have come one after another.

And this year Zhou Qi and Ding Yanyuhang are also here.

Zhou Qi was promised by Tang Tian before, while Ding Yanyuhang was familiar with the situation, so he would be even more up to sign a formal contract with the Pelicans.

On the first day of the training camp, everyone's enthusiasm for training was very high.

The competition for the heroes in the new season is not only for fans, but also for brothers who work hard.

Butler's Clippers have a chance to make it to the playoffs and even the first half.

Not to mention Walker, Angie just came to Whiteside from the Cavaliers trade.

In addition to Tatum, the Celtics are very competitive in the East in the new season.

The same is true for Thompson. The Warriors were cheated by Durant, and the five-star lineup changed to three-star and unknown one-star. Many people dislike the Warriors.

He will definitely help the Warriors clear their reputation in the new season.

The same situation also happened to Irving. The Bucks will unify the East in the new season and he must perform better.

"Vins wants to come to our team."
