Braised Eggplant with Minced Pork
Chapter 1007 The NBA Finale
"According to Shams, the Warriors and Cavaliers are especially vocal among these management teams, and have even threatened a real-life PK!"
"As a Pelicans fan, I'm climaxing right now! Looking forward to the team sweeping everything next season!"
"fxck.you!" A comment from a Jokic fan.
"Why don't you go die?!" A comment from a Godfather fan.
"Pelicans fans, don't come out and show off. Next season is already meaningless. The NBA is over!"
"Actually, I think this was forced by the league. If Xiao Hua hadn't returned and put pressure on the Pelicans, they wouldn't have traded for Butler, and there wouldn't have been any follow-up operations. The other teams just made trades that were beneficial to them."
"That's true! If I were Demps, I would have done the same! Why allow you to ignore what Xiao Hua did to Tang? Aren't we allowed to retaliate against society?"
"That's right, don't be a hypocrite. If you're not happy, become a Pelicans fan! (?`w?′)"
……
After Walker officially announced his signing with the Pelicans, the discussion on social media exploded, even to the point of paralysis.
The Pelicans forming a Big Four is the most terrifying thing to happen in NBA history, bar none.
Can you imagine the three-time champion Bulls adding Drexler and Karl Malone?
That's not even something that can be described as the NBA ending, that's really an operation that's going to destroy the NBA!
But under the pressure from various outside forces, this thing has now happened!
Fans were endlessly discussing on social media, and the reactions from other parties at this time were also quite exciting.
Houston.
Morey has always been known for his high work ethic and shrewd calculations, but on the second day after the Walker signing, he sat in his office in a daze all day.
The Rockets getting Ariza was definitely a reinforcement, but this operation only considered himself and not the opponent.
Being shrewd but losing sight of the big picture, this is the most failed operation of his career as a general manager!
The same scene also happened in Dallas.
Mavericks general manager Donnie Nelson felt like he didn't even have the face to see Cuban.
They got Jokic and Holiday, maximizing the trade value, but no matter how maximized it is, it's meaningless. These four-star Pelicans leave them with no way to go!
And what's even more terrifying is that, thanks to Davis and Tang Tian's contracts, this lineup can last for at least three years!
They traded with their competitors, thinking about making a profit from them, but in the end, they completely trapped themselves!
Charlotte owner's office.
Jordan stood by the window, smoking a cigar, looking out the window with a complex expression.
Behind him stood Hornets general manager Rich Cho.
Walker ended up going to New Orleans, which he never expected.
Because the Pelicans already had Holiday, there was no reason to want Walker at all, including the Pelicans not having that salary cap space afterwards.
But in the end, Walker still played with Tang Tian, but not in Charlotte but in New Orleans!
"Did I do something wrong?"
Jordan asked.
"No, boss, you'll never do anything wrong."
Rich Cho said.
Jordan nodded, that thought quickly thrown to the back of his mind. He is the God of Basketball, he is never wrong.
Caribbean.
Durant, who had just put down his phone, felt like the sky was falling.
Even though he had logged into countless alternate accounts to vent his emotions, he found that nothing was released in the end.
Damn Tang Tian, damn Pelicans!
Originally, the Warriors still had integration problems last season, and there was a new opportunity for the new season, but what's the point of playing now!
The more he thought about it, the more upset he became. He glanced at the third-rate model lying next to him, pulled her over and mounted her.
This model, who looks a lot like Scarlett, is now his personal sex toy.
He can get the greatest degree of catharsis on her!
New York headquarters.
"fxck!"
Xiao Hua slammed the table in anger.
"What have those two bastards, Tom Gores and Larry Miller, done!"
He directly cursed the owners of the Pistons and the Jazz.
If it weren't for them, the Pelicans would have had no chance to clear out space at all.
Borgia didn't dare to speak at this time either, Xiao Hua was in a rage, and speaking would be like running into the barrel of a gun.
"Is there any way to stop Kemba Walker from signing?!"
Xiao Hua glared at Borgia.
Borgia shook his head.
Walker is a completely free agent, and the salary offered by the Pelicans is not low.
As for whether it's a max salary, Walker is happy with it, and no one else can do anything about it!
"Check the Pelicans, see if they have any yin-yang contracts!"
Xiao Hua said angrily.
Borgia nodded and immediately left the office.
Yin-yang contracts refer to signing a contract on the surface with a lower salary, but secretly signing other contracts with players behind the scenes.
The most famous yin-yang contract in the NBA was between the former top pick Joe Smith and the Timberwolves.
The league's punishment at the time was to prohibit Smith from signing, and then confiscate the Timberwolves' five first-round picks.
If it can really be found out, it can directly destroy the Pelicans!
But, the Pelicans don't need to do this at all. No one in the NBA has done this since Joe Smith's incident, let alone just for 5 million.
But Xiao Hua is in a rage, and he can only do what he wants him to do.
Although it's definitely a waste of effort.
Fans are mourning, and all parties are angry and helpless, but the most unlucky team is the Clippers.
They could have gotten Louis Williams at a very small cost, but they didn't succeed due to some special reasons.
And more importantly, after all this trouble, the Pelicans still assembled a four-star lineup!
Really, hey, so angry!
But some people are worried, and naturally some people are happy.
In addition to the Pelicans, there are two other teams that are very happy.
The Pistons and the Jazz.
They are different from other teams. Next season, or in the next few years, the word "championship" is a bit far away from them.
Their goal is to make the playoffs, and who the champion is has little to do with them.
Taking advantage of the Pelicans clearing salary space, they rarely got a bargain from the Pelicans, and by the way, disgusted Xiao Hua, who they didn't like.
This is killing two birds with one stone, quite wonderful.
Los Angeles.
"Haha, that guy Tang, sure has my style!"
Kobe, who has lacked exercise since retiring and has a big belly, was laughing heartily.
Unlike other team management, because he has a good private relationship with Tang Tian, and knows that Tang Tian often appears at the draft conference, he knows that all of this is likely to be Tang Tian's behind-the-scenes work.
When Xiao Hua returned and Tang Tian participated in the TNT program, he also supported him on Twitter, but Xiao Hua ignored even Tang Tian, and naturally ignored him.
So now that Tang Tian is retaliating against society, he feels a burst of joy seeing it!
"Then you should learn from him and have a boy!"
Vanessa said from the side.
Kobe's laughter stopped abruptly, followed by a burst of dry coughs.
"It will happen, it will happen."
He said with a wry smile, then got up and walked onto the treadmill.
Although he can't be completely blamed for having daughters, he has to get his figure back first. It is said that this also has a great impact on having boys and girls.
In this regard, he has to work hard to learn from Tang Tian.
