Chapter 1034 The Rockets believe they are in the lead
No team is willing to offer a four-year maximum salary contract for Walker, but they are all interested in signing a 1+1 contract with Walker.
Because the starting salary of a 1+1 contract is much lower than the long term, these teams take the smallest risk to quote.
They had to fill out the poor line and could sell tickets with Walker. If they really played well, it would prove that it would not be the year of the contract, and they could renew their maximum salary and long contracts.
If the game is not good, it will be at most a year's contract, and the contract itself is not very big.
The reality is already like this. All Tang Tian can do is to see which team has better opportunities.
Time is fast, and while Walker is still thinking about it, there has been new progress in the deal with George and Butler.
After failing to change George's idea that he would not go without the Pelicans, the Pacers management has made it clear that he would not do as he wished.
At this moment, the Lakers management voiced compromise, and the team's new boss Jenny Buss became interested in Simmons' proposal to trade George.
This made George's chance of joining the Lakers soar.
While the Lakers championship voice sounded, fans of other teams also calmed down a little.
If you want to go to the Pelicans' small forward trio, there is one person who is likely to be unable to go.
And soon, another thing that made them happy also happened.
According to WOJ, the Rockets believe they are in an absolute lead in Butler's battle.
In addition to the Big Three, Gordon, Capela, Tucker and Morris are all high-quality bargaining chips, which allows them to be in an absolute advantage.
For the other teams, the Heat did not have enough bargaining chips, while the Lakers management was not interested in Butler.
As for the Pelicans in the end, Tang Tian and Butler were brothers, and the management was very willing to do it.
But Tang Tian's neutral position made the management hesitant, and they were worried that Butler's personality would affect the existing chemistry of the Pelicans.
"It's dawn, Rockets championship, this time it's true!"
"Paul + Harden + Butler, this is the first in the backcourt league! If Tucker and Capela can still be left behind, the Rockets will not be inferior to the Pelicans at all!"
"And I don't think this is a problem. Cousins' Achilles tendon torn apart will definitely be difficult for a new contract next season. The Rockets can also renew their contract with a lower price. At that time, it will be the four-star Rockets! The championship is definitely the best!"
"I think it's very promising! This wave of Pelicans must have participated in the negotiations. The atmosphere in their team will definitely be affected. One is rising and the other is getting worse, and the Rockets have a really great chance!"
"Come on, come on! Start playing basketball in hometown!"
...
George's words verified what Tang Tian said, and it is absolutely impossible to designate the next management.
But Butler is not a free agent after all, even if he expands the number of times he wants to go, he can't decide where he will go in the end.
The Mavericks' management will surely maximize the value of his deal.
According to the current trend, he is likely to be traded to the Rockets.
And that's not actually the team he wants to go to.
As he said when communicating with Tang Tian, he either becomes the boss of the team or is only willing to play Tang Tian's deputy.
It is not something he likes to do after going to the Rockets to be Paul and Harden.
But just like George can't go to the Pelicans, he doesn't turn around, at least he will have no choice but to do so next season.
Butler's transaction has made new progress, and Walker has also made new news.
The Celtics suddenly changed their attention.
After no team was willing to provide Walker with a long contract, Angie responded quickly and offered Walker a contract of 120 million for four years, of which the fourth year was the team option.
This is a contract that is slightly below the maximum salary and comes with options.
The Celtics have not achieved much in the free market this year, and their next goal is to focus on cultivating selected Tatum.
At this time, it is very profitable to win Walker with an average salary of about 30 million yuan, and the contract is also very suitable.
If Walker performs well, they can play for four years before renewing their contract.
If you play poorly, then you will refuse to execute the team option after three years. Tatum will almost grow up at that time, and he will kill two birds with one stone.
Tang Tian didn't feel very good about Anji, and his suggestion was to ask Walker not to sign such a passive contract.
But Walker personally tends to accept it because there is no better contract in the free market than this.
The news was soon reported by WOJ. It is expected that Walker will reach this contract with the Celtics before the end of the "freeze period".
At the same time, Demps also told Tang Tian a message.
Tatm has communicated with him privately, and he personally hopes that the Pelicans will not make a sign-on and then exchange deal with the Jazz.
The content of this communication is similar to what fans expected, and Tetmster's shadow nickname has also been verified.
He does not want another super team in the league that has the strength of other teams.
He strongly opposed the Warriors at the beginning, but unfortunately the president at that time was Xiao Hua.
The Pelicans' current lineup has won two consecutive championships. If Hayward is added, other teams will not have to play.
Because I know that Tang Tian and Tatum have a good relationship, this is also the reason why Demps looks for him.
"I think it's more appropriate to keep the existing lineup."
Tang Tian gave his own opinions.
If Butler could come, he felt that it would be fine.
Butler's defense is better than Ariza and his offense is better. With him in, the locker room and integration are not a problem.
But Hayward, defense is worse than Ariza, and his offense is not mainly without the ball. It may make the Pelicans stronger and weaker when they come.
There is still a lot of uncertainty here.
Moreover, signing and exchange means that Hayward will have to sign a maximum salary contract for at least 4 years. Once Hayward is not suitable for the team, the team's future space will be completely locked.
This is the first time Tang Tian has signed up for a statement, and Demps completely accepted it.
Originally, both sides had the intention because of Stevens. If Tang Tian expressed his opinion now, it would definitely be based on Tang Tian’s opinion.
The free market has only two days left before the end of the "freeze period".
At this moment, Demps expressed his team's attitude in front of the media.
"We have a great chemistry in the lineup now. We beat the Rockets, Warriors and Cavaliers in a row last season and completed the defending title. We have no reason to break the existing roster, so we are not going to seek change."
Demps' remark disappointed Pelicans fans, who were originally waiting to see the team's lineup go further.
But other fans were excited afterwards, which meant they still had a very big chance.
Because of this incident, fans kept talking about it on social media.
However, just as the discussion was made, some fans broke out something big or small.
