The content of this trading proposal is very simple, Siakam trades Holiday + second-round draft pick.

After Harris received a huge contract extension last summer, he performed quite bravely this season, averaging nearly 20 points per game.

This score is second only to Embiid in the Mavericks, and is the team's number one scorer on the outside.

Conley and Holiday will definitely be affected by Harris' scoring and role upgrades.

Conley was not greatly affected by Carlisle's trust and excellent organization.

The most affected was Holiday.

Holiday's shots have decreased and his playing time has been greatly reduced.

The Mavericks know that they can't afford to renew Holiday next season, so they're compressing his team role in advance.

This approach kills two birds with one stone. In addition to adapting in advance, you can also reduce the price when renewing your contract next season.

For the Mavericks, it would be very cost-effective to renew Holiday's contract at a low price.

Holiday is diligent and not a fool. After a long time, he will definitely feel dissatisfied and he also took the initiative to apply for a transaction.

Nelson Jr. looked around and finally targeted Siakam of the Pelicans.

Holiday is an old Pelicans player, and Siakam has outstanding talent. In addition, the rookie contract has just ended, even the maximum salary renewal price is not expensive, not to mention that the maximum salary does not necessarily require it.

Tang Tian’s index finger was gently tapping on the coffee table, and his mind was thinking and weighing.

The Pelicans' chemistry is good now, and there are considerable risks when breaking it rashly.

But the regular season is only the regular season after all, and the Pelicans' back line is still weak.

Durant was very brave in the second position, but before playing against the Rockets, Lakers, and Spurs were all very thrilling, and even said he was lucky.

One of the big reasons behind this is Durant's defense.

His speed is indeed faster, but it is still difficult to defend against the top second position, and it is even impossible to defend against it.

If Siakam plays three, he will not be able to defend against the second position.

This is also determined by Durant's height. 2.06 meters is the official height, but his actual height is close to 2.10 meters, which is the height that can be played at the fifth position.

Such height must be very high, and it cannot be compensated by how much weight you lose.

Tang Tian’s clever idea at the beginning was indeed good, but it was not perfect.

In contrast, it would be perfect if it could trade back to Holiday and let Durant return to the third position.

However, a new problem is that Holiday's contract will expire next summer, and unlike Siakam, he is not a restricted free agent.

In other words, if Holiday is very popular in the free market, the Pelicans are likely to have to let him go for nothing.

As a result of this deal, the Pelicans only received half a year of use rights for Holiday and a second round with no value.

This is a very loss.

There are advantages and disadvantages, it depends on how to weigh the pros and cons.

"What do you think?"

Tang Tian thought about it again and again and asked Demps for his opinion.

Demps has made great progress in recent years, and his qualification as an assistant and a suggestionist is already enough.

"I think it's good. Although there are risks next summer, we will face the same risks even if we stay Pascal."

Demps gave his opinion and he agreed with the deal.

Tang Tian nodded.

Demps is the truth, so whether the deal is made or not, whether the team can win the championship this season will directly affect next year's operations.

Based on this premise, what kind of lineup is the most likely to win five consecutive championships is a priority.

"Do it, but the Mavericks have to make more blood and ask them for a first round, and you say hello to Brad first."

Tang Tian made the final decision.

Demps nodded.

Not only Stevens, he would also say hello to Siakam in advance.

The latter worked diligently in the Pelicans for three years and worked hard. He was traded after finally playing. At this time, he was not very authentic in trading.

However, Demps did make great progress. While dealing with the internal situation of the team, he also negotiated with the Mavericks, and the progress was very fast.

Time is fast, and the transaction deadline is coming in a blink of an eye.

At this moment, transactions were reached one after another.

The Suns sent Jaylen Brown and TJ Warren, unprotected first round in 2021, and got DeRozan from the Raptors' trade.

The Raptors' junk brothers group finally came to an end on this trade deadline.

Lowry was feeling depressed after learning about the transaction, but this is the NBA business world.

The Kings sent out Harrison Barnes and a future first round and a future second round, getting Wiggins from the Timberwolves trade.

Barnes performed averagely with the Kings, and the Kings hoped that Wiggins could bring new changes to the team.

The Jazz were sending Jay Claude and a 2021 first-round draft pick to get Bogdanovic from the Pacers trade.

The Jazz made a lot of blood in this deal, and it can be seen that they attach great importance to Bogdanovic and believe that the latter can help them get back to the playoffs.

The Trail Blazers sent Whiteside, Zach Collins and the second round in 2021 to get Love from the Cavaliers' trade.

Whiteside started wandering after leaving the Pelicans, and the Timberwolves were already the third team he played for in a season.

And unlike the Trail Blazers before, the Timberwolves valued his short contract in this deal.

His NBA career looks like it has entered the countdown.

After the Trail Blazers got Love, their frontcourt firepower was replenished.

However, whether this can help them return to the Western Conference playoff team depends on how well Love and the team are running in.

...

Other transactions have been concluded one after another.

The Pelicans fans on the hotline are also watching the fun.

The team is now thriving, and maintaining this momentum is not without a chance to challenge the Lakers and Spurs just like last year.

However, they watched it lively, but were shocked by a message released by WOJ as the transaction deadline approached.

I was watching the fun, but I found that my team was also one of the fun.

The Pelicans sent Siakam and Temple, as well as a trade special worth 10 million, and the second round draft pick in 2021 was obtained from the Mavericks by Ju Holiday and the first round draft pick in 2020.

After this trading news, half of the Pelicans fans were confused and half of the Pelicans fans were scolding.

The Pelicans did a good job of keeping confidentiality, and there were no rumors before this deal, and this was really caught off guard.

However, after they came back to their senses, they had already started analyzing the pros and cons of the transaction.

Soon, their calibers were unified.

Well, this is a good deal.

Because after the transaction was completed, Tang Tian posted the status immediately on Twitter.

"Welcome home, my brother @Ju Holiday."
Chapter completed!
