The invincible kryptonite of basketball

They need a strong scorer off the bench, and Williams is that guy.

More importantly, after they lose Hayward, their salary is far below the salary cap, and they can directly rely on the transaction exception to eat Williams' contract!

This is the best deal.

The two teams reached a consensus soon after contact.

Woj was also quick to report on the content of the deal.

The Pelicans will send Williams to the Jazz for a future second-round pick and a special transaction worth around 700 million!

And soon, Williams passed the medical examination.

Such a result made the fans dumbfounded.

The promised medical examination failed, so I passed it in another place?

Is there a problem with the Clippers' detection equipment?Or did Williams recover from his injury in two days?

There was a lot of complaints on social media, but the deal went through without a hitch.

And not long after the deal was concluded, despite the small trading market, the Pelicans sent Boban to Detroit after paying enough chips.

Woj also reported the transaction details for the first time.

Pelicans send Boban Marjanovic, 2nd round pick from Wizards, and 700 future [-]nd round picks to Pistons for Michael Benaje (non-guaranteed contract) and $[-] million Transaction exceptions.

After completing the deal, the Pelicans waived Benaj.

Like the Jazz, the Pistons also voted against it, and like the Jazz, they have space and want to make the playoffs.

Although Boban didn't have many opportunities with the Pelicans last season, he was enough to be Drummond's substitute.

And the key is to get 3 second rounds. They did a good job in this deal.

The Pelicans paid a bit too much, but after completing these two deals one after another, they have nearly 2400 million in salary space!

As long as they send Bo Yang again, the space of 3400 million is more than enough to give Walker a maximum salary!

"enough."

But when Demps was about to trade Bojan, Walker came out to stop him.

"I signed a 1+1 contract, and I can accept a salary cut of 500 million."

"I know what you want to say, Don, don't we want revenge on society? We have to keep Bo Yang."

One by one, Walker blocked all the words of Dempsey and Tang Tian.

After Holiday, Jokic, Ariza, Williams, and Bojan were traded one after another, there are not many people in the Pelicans lineup.

Except for the four of them, among the remaining players, apart from Brogdon, only Bo Yang is an immediate combat power.

Harrell still needs to continue to grow, Siakam is also a sophomore who didn't perform, and then Thomas Bryant, who is still a rookie.

Once Bo Yang leaves, their bench will be a big problem.

Tang Tian finally agreed.

After this, next year he will help Walker win a maximum salary contract no matter what.

"Some people are totally untrustworthy! Angry emoji"

The next day, Celtics general manager Ainge tweeted such a status.

Angie has always been known for his wily calculations, and the fans who posted this tweet were puzzled.

But soon, they knew the answer.

According to Woj, the Pelicans have agreed to a two-year, $2 million contract with free agent Kemba Walker.

According to Woj's follow-up report, this is a 1+1 contract, and the second year is a player option.

Anji has a wonderful plan to secure the world. He has been waiting for Walker to compromise, but no one thought that what he waited for was such a result.

Now that Walker is gone, and Owen is gone, he tried his best, but in the end it was all in vain!

It's no wonder he tweeted like this, obviously out of temper.

However, after Woj broke the follow-up transaction, it is no longer the focus of fans' attention.

The point is, Walker is going to join the Pelicans!

"Damn it! I finally know the purpose of the Pelicans trading Holiday, Ariza, and Williams. It is to make room for Walker!"

"Haha, what did I say before, I said Walker and Butler will go to the Pelicans, God predicts!"

"You're awesome, this is a big game of chess. It started from the moment Holiday was sent to Dallas!"

"I'm sorry Demps, you deserve to be the best general manager in the league, I misunderstood you!"

"Fxck! Walker, Butler, Don, Davis, tell me louder, who is the champion?!"

"Lake... Orc Champion!"

"Who the hell can stand this! The other teams sent out Fxck.you in their hearts, and said that we don't want to play anymore!?? (◣д◢)??"

"I'm really desperate, how can I fight this?! I can't even hit my head! Oh my god! I don't know what to say anymore, despair!"

"Hurry up and play badly, there is no suspense about the championship next season, whoever fights is an idiot!"

ps: Special thanks to _John_ for the reward! !

The Thousandth Chapter 16 NBA Finale

"According to Woj, the Mavericks, Rockets, Jazz and Pistons have been blocked by the management of each team!"

"According to Shanms, among these management teams, the Warriors and the Cavaliers have been particularly vocal and threatened to compete against real people!"

"As a Pelicans fan, I'm climaxing now, looking forward to the team sweeping everything next season!"

"Fxck.you!" A statement from a Jokic fan.

"Why don't you die?!" A statement from a Godfather fan.

"Pelican fans don't come out to show, next season is boring, the NBA finale!"

"Actually, I think this seems to be forced by the league. If it wasn't for Xiao Hua's comeback to make the Pelicans feel the pressure, they wouldn't trade for Butler, and there would be no follow-up operations. The other teams just did the right thing. It's just a good deal for them."

"It's true to say so! If I were Dempsey, I would do the same! Why are you allowed to ignore what Xiao Hua did to Tang? We are not allowed to retaliate against society?"

"That's right, don't be a double-standard dog, if you are unhappy, become a Pelican fan instead! (? `ω?')"

……

After Walker announced that he had officially signed with the Pelicans, the discussion on social media exploded, and even paralyzed for a while.

The Pelicans form the Big Four, this is the scariest thing that happened in NBA history, none of them.

Can you think about the Bulls who have won three consecutive championships, what would it be like to join Drexler and Karl Malone?

That's not even what the NBA finale can describe, it's really going to ruin the NBA's operation!

But under the influence of various external pressures, this matter has just happened now!

Fans continued to discuss it on social media, and the reactions of other parties at this time were also quite exciting.

houston.

Morey has always been known for his high work enthusiasm and careful planning, but the day after Walker's signing, he sat in the office all day in a daze.

The Rockets' acquisition of Ariza is an absolute reinforcement, but he only considered himself and not his opponent in this operation.

Careful calculation but lost the overall view, this is the most failed operation of his general manager career!

The same scene happened in Dallas.

Mavericks general manager Nelson Jr. felt ashamed to see Cuban.

They got Jokic and Holiday and maximized the value of the deal, but it doesn't make sense to maximize it anymore. The four-star Pelicans left them nowhere to go!

And what's even more frightening is that thanks to the contract between Davis and Tang Tian, ​​this lineup can last at least three years!

They make deals with their competitors, and they still want to make money from the other party, and finally completely set themselves into it!

Boss Charlotte's office.

Jordan stood by the window, smoking a cigar, looking out the window with a complicated expression.

Behind him stands Hornets general manager Rich Choo.

Walker ended up in New Orleans, which he never expected.

Because the Pelicans had Holiday before, there was no reason for Walker at all, including that the Pelicans didn't have that salary 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 can never do wrong."

Rich Qiu spoke.

Jordan nodded. The thought just now was quickly forgotten by him. He is the god of basketball, and he can never be wrong.

Caribbean Sea.

Durant, who had just put down his phone, felt like the sky was falling.

Even though he had logged into N trumpets to vent his emotions, in the end he found that nothing had been released.

Damn Tang Tian, ​​damn Pelicans!

Originally, the Warriors still had running-in problems last season, and there will be new opportunities in the new season, but what a fart now!

The more he thought about it, the more unhappy he became. He glanced at the third-rate model lying beside him, and turned over as soon as he pulled it over.

This model, who looks very much like Scarlett, is now his queen.

In her body, I can get the greatest degree of vent!

New York headquarters.

"Fxck!"

Xiao Hua slapped the table angrily.

"Tom Gore and Larry Miller bastards, what have they done!"

He directly scolded the owners of the Pistons and Jazz.

If it weren't for them, the Pelicans would never have had a chance to clear the floor.

Borgia didn't dare to speak at this time, Xiao Hua was in a fit of anger, and when he spoke, he hit the muzzle of the gun.

"Is there any other way to stop Kemba Walker from signing?!"

Xiao Hua gave Borgia a fierce look.

Borgia shook his head.

Walker is a completely free agent, and the salary given by the Pelicans is not low.

As for whether it is a maximum salary, Walker is happy, and others can't do anything to him!

"Go check the Pelicans and see if they have a yin and yang contract!"

Xiao Hua said angrily.

Borgia nodded and left the office immediately.

The yin-yang contract refers to signing a contract on the surface with a relatively low salary, but secretly signing other contracts to players behind the scenes.

The most famous NBA is the yin and yang contract between the original No. [-] pick Joe Smith and the Timberwolves.

The result of the league's punishment at that time was to ban Smith from signing, and then confiscated the Timberwolves in the first round for five years.

If it can be found out, it can directly destroy the Pelicans!

However, there is no need for the Pelicans to do this at all. No one in the NBA has done this since Joe Smith's incident, let alone just for 500 million.
