Braised Eggplant with Minced Pork
Chapter 1144 Simping to the Very End…
Tang Tian said that, and Dell Demps didn't say anything else.
It's just that Butler is determined to be the boss, so he definitely won't want to go to the Spurs.
If they want to trade Green, they can only pull in a third-party team that Butler wants to go to, or see if Walker and the Spurs are interested.
Speaking of which, Parker is about to retire, and Walker, as Parker's die-hard fan, should be very interested in joining the Spurs.
"Then do we need to add a small forward?"
Demps then asked a little cautiously.
After all, it was his bad decision to trade away Bogdan before.
Tang Tian didn't blame Demps as before, and said yes, and listed some candidates.
Although they didn't seem as good as Bogdan, it was considered filling the position.
"By the way, talk to Brad later and let Kuzma lose weight and play at the three."
Tang Tian thought of it and said.
For the power forward position, there is Davis in front, and Siakam, Kuzma, a player with immediate combat power, will not have much playing time at the four.
On the contrary, letting him lose weight and play at the three will increase his speed, and it won't be a problem for his size to defend to the league average.
Plus his shooting talent and off-ball awareness, he has the potential in this regard.
Moreover, he is only a sophomore, and there is still a lot of room for his skills to be polished.
This is also considered competition, trade for a backup small forward, plus Kuzma, whoever wins the competition will take the job.
Demps listened to Tang Tian's analysis, and finally didn't leave with a face full of worry.
Although he has already graduated, he still has a lot to learn from Tang Tian in terms of overall control.
The free market continued, but for two consecutive days, there was no big news except for Jokic's unexpected choice to sign with the Nuggets.
The Los Angeles media has been shouting that the Lakers are leading the way in signing George and are infinitely close to signing George, but there is no official news.
It seems that James' first season with the Lakers will really be like what his fans say on social media, one person, one city.
It's just that this one city has gone from Cleveland to Los Angeles.
The big names in the free market have not moved, and the fans are also bored.
It was at this time that some more definite news finally came out of Cleveland.
George has no intention of staying in Cleveland and hopes to join a new team through a sign-and-trade.
This is expected. Next season happens to be the 9th year of his career, meeting the Tang Tian Clause.
In this regard, he will definitely pursue the maximization of benefits.
But besides that, there is another piece of information.
George is not interested in joining forces with James in Los Angeles for the second time.
This is also reasonable.
He has already failed once in Cleveland, and he would be crazy to run to Los Angeles to play with James.
This is very embarrassing.
From the moment the free market door opened, the Los Angeles media has been licking George.
But a simp gets nothing in the end!
But George doesn't want to stay with the Cavaliers and doesn't want to go to the Lakers, and he hasn't listed the next team he wants to go to, which makes the outside world very curious about where he wants to go.
Fans on social media have opened their minds and listed the next team George wants to go to, with the Clippers at the top of the list.
The Clippers selected Doncic and Alexander, George is a great second-in-command, very suitable, and the Clippers are also in Los Angeles, also his hometown!
This day, Davis visited Tang Tian's house, and the two chatted about the recent free market while eating barbecue.
Walker and Butler haven't decided on their next home, so there's nothing to discuss. They discussed Jokic.
Davis couldn't figure out why Jokic would go to a bad team like the Nuggets.
Staying with the Mavericks to compete for the championship every year, especially after the introduction of the Tang Tian Clause, other teams can't form a group.
On the other hand, the contracts of several core players of the Mavericks were signed early, and they are not considered big contracts now, and the lineup can be maintained for several years.
If Jokic stays, the Mavericks' record next year will definitely reach a new level.
"You still don't understand him."
Tang Tian said with a smile.
"He has a very high ambition."
When Jokic first came to the Pelicans, Tang Tian used to train with him after games.
Jokic sleeping in the training hall left a deep impression on him.
There is also the kind of unyielding determination in the game.
If it wasn't for getting Butler, he wouldn't have let Demps trade him away.
While they were talking, Tang Tian's phone rang. It was Walker calling, saying that he had arrived at the door.
He brought him in to eat barbecue together.
"I'm going to Boston. They're willing to give me a 4-year super max."
After eating for a while, Walker said.
"That's a good thing!"
Tang Tian said sincerely.
Although he told Demps to follow Walker and Butler's own ideas.
But he promised Walker on this matter.
So if no one in the free market is willing to sign Walker, he will definitely let Benson sign.
Even if it may require him to reduce his salary when he renews his contract next year.
"I also think it's a good thing."
Davis echoed.
He didn't think of Tang Tian's relationship, but simply thought it was a good thing.
When Walker said he was leaving the Hornets last year, the Celtics were the only ones willing to give him a max long-term contract.
Although it is a team option, it is already considered good compared to other teams.
Now Walker is not very good in the free market, most teams are willing to give a max salary but not a super max.
The Celtics jumped out again at this time and were willing to give a super max.
This is the ultimate simp.
Walker will definitely be the boss there, and it's a very comfortable one.
As for Green's matter, the Spurs' asking price is very low, and it doesn't necessarily have to involve Walker.
"I'm the host when you come to Boston. I promise to take you to have fun."
Walker's next home has been decided, but he is still reluctant to leave.
Last season's brotherly basketball was the happiest season since he entered the NBA.
"What are you talking about Boston? By the way, Ad and I were just talking about where to go for summer vacation. Let's bring you and Jimmy along."
Tang Tian smiled and touched Walker's head.
He would touch it as much as he could.
Walker nodded with a smile.
Even if they are not on the same team, their relationship is as good as before, especially between him and Tang Tian.
The next day, the league officially announced the trade between the Pelicans and the Celtics.
The Pelicans signed Walker to a 4-year, $154 million contract and traded him to the Celtics, receiving Jae Crowder, a future second-round pick, and a $21 million trade exception from them.
Because the Celtics have multiple players with expiring contracts this season, the team's existing contract salary is far below the salary cap, so this super exception was created.
Following James and Jokic, the third big fish of this offseason has finally settled.
This trade also sparked a wave of heated discussions among fans on social media, and one of them received countless likes from fans.
The Lakers and the Celtics, the former giants have become simps in recent years, but there is a difference between simps.
The Lakers had a chance to get George last year, but they didn't think George was worth them paying too much, so they didn't simp him.
When they wanted to simp this season, they found that they couldn't.
But the Celtics started simping last season and kept simping until this season, and finally succeeded.
In contrast, it illustrates a truth.
As long as you are willing to give, simp long enough, the simp gets everything in the end... everything!
