And this is what shocked the management of each team!

In the history of the league, no player has ever been named to appear!

Even though George has been the Pacers' facade over the past few years, he has a close relationship with Larry Bird, the team's newly resigned general manager.

But what you are trying to designate your next company is really shocking.

Because this involves the rights and interests of labor and capital.

Designating the next company means that even if other teams get him traded, they will basically not be able to keep him after the contract ends next year.

This means that the trading value of this player will plummet, even if it is a player of George's level.

So from the perspective of investors, this is absolutely undesirable, and it will open Pandora's box and attract more players to follow suit.

But without turning back the arrow, George had done it and could not save it.

But even so, many teams started to contact the Pacers and tried to trade to get George.

After all, a star of George's level is hard to come by, and it would be better if he could exchange George's first one for a small price.

If George is happy to play this year and renews his contract with the team, he will make a lot of money.

This kind of deal is completely possible. George appointed his next home, and the Pacers management will not do as he wishes.

When Tang Tian learned the news, he was holding his two sons with Olson to watch the sunrise.

The sunrise and sea sky line by the sea are quite beautiful.

He only found Demps' text messages and missed calls after watching the sunrise.

When he saw the content, he was stunned for a while.

George applied for a deal, which happened in his previous life.

Because he is in the Western Pelicans, the butterfly effect in the East is relatively small.

Especially for the Pacers, which have no direct relationship, the lineup and his memory have not changed much.

So it is not surprising for George to apply for a deal and designate the next one.

But the problem is that George should designate the next home to the Lakers!

George's idol is Kobe, and Los Angeles is also his hometown, and it is a big city.

Idol basketball + hometown basketball + metropolitan basketball, and the Lakers now have no stars, which is almost a perfect place to go.

But now he told him that George wants to come to New Orleans?

Learn from Durant’s good role model and come to the Pelicans to be the third or even the fourth leader?

Or is it because he leaned back like Kobe, but he could have a son than Kobe, so he turned to treat him as an idol?

These reasons... don't seem to be reliable.

After the accident, Tang Tian thought about it carefully and seemed to have some understanding.

George led the team to rank second in the Eastern Conference in the 13-14 season, and played with the Cavaliers until the Eastern Conference Finals, reaching its peak for a while.

At that time, he was less than 24 years old and had the opportunity to chase Durant and James, with a bright future.

But now he is seriously injured and the team is in a daze, and he is almost quitting the first-tier star. He needs honor and exposure to strengthen himself.

The Pelicans lack a star-level No. 3 position.

And benefiting from Holiday's contract (75 million in five years) and growing salary cap, the Pelicans are fully capable of taking George and renewing the contract.

At worst, you can trade Jokic for draft picks, Holiday + Tang Tian + George + Davis + Justice, which can beat everything up.

Just as he was thinking, Demps' phone call came again.

Tang Tian picked it up.

Demps was a little excited.

For the first time in so many years, a star has taken the initiative to come to New Orleans.

You should know that the Pelicans' current team is their choice, Davis and Jokic, Tang Tian is the restricted free agent they won by thrillingly, and Holiday is the trade.

So it would be strange if a player of George's level is coming.

On the phone, Tang Tian did not express his attitude as before.

In his heart, he still doesn't like this kind of basketball, even though George is an obvious upgrade to Ariza.

Moreover, the current lineup has a good tacit understanding, and breaking may not necessarily be better.

To put it bluntly, George is a fully upgraded version of Ariza, but he may not be willing to do dirty and tiring work like Ariza, after all, he is also an All-Star.

And in terms of efficiency alone, George is also relatively low among super giants.

However, he did not object. This kind of transaction is obviously suitable for reinforcement, and it would be best left to the management to choose in the end.

Demps repeatedly asked, but Tang Tian still had this attitude.

This was the first time Tang Tian made such a statement. In the end, he couldn't turn around and discussed with the other people in the management.

After hanging up the phone, Tang Tian looked at the Suns that had crossed the level again. It seems that the Pelicans may also have major changes in this offseason.

George's incident caused the league to fluctuate, but stars of this level, and those who have never been designated as next-generation players, will definitely last for a very bad time.

Before that, the draft also became more eye-catching.

Draft night is a day when trading is high, and no one knows whether George will be traded at that time.

The draft pick has been drawn during the division finals last season.

The 76ers, Kings and Suns won the top three picks, the Lakers, Magic, Timberwolves, Celtics and Hornets won the 4-8 picks.

Among this year's rookies, Fultz and Tatum are the top picks.

In addition, Lonzo Ball, who was strongly promoted by Ball, also rose sharply, and there was a trend of impacting the No. 1 pick.

According to previous reports from Woj, if Ball falls to the fourth pick, the Lakers will definitely choose him.

Time flies, and June 23rd is coming in a blink of an eye.

Tang Tian and Olson are also on vacation in the Caribbean, and the annual NBA draft has been kicked off in Brooklyn, New York.

In short, this is the first time Tang Tian has not been to the draft since joining the Pelicans.

However, although he didn't go to the scene, Tang Tian still gave some potential candidates in the second round, which depends on what ranking the Pelicans can do.

That night, fans in Brooklyn gathered and were paying attention.

In the small green house, green faces were waiting for the call from the NBA.

It is worth mentioning that this is also the first draft of the new president, Tatm.

"Dell, what is the expected ranking we can trade now?"

The draft was about to begin, Stevens asked Demps.

Because the Pelicans themselves only have a draft pick with 60 and do not want major changes in the lineup, only bench edge players like Forbes, or cash can be used.

This transaction changes greatly and is timely.

“44.”

Demps replied.

Stevens nodded, and the candidates Tang Tian gave were almost between 40 and 45.

However, if they are ranked 44, they can only choose that person.

Just as they were communicating, Tatm walked out of the backstage with a smile on his face.

The 2017 NBA Draft is about to begin.
Chapter completed!
