The invincible kryptonite of basketball

Tang Tian finally said to Dempsey.

Dempsey nodded after listening.

He was persuaded by Tang Tian, ​​and then trotted out of the manor to make a deal.

Now that the Raptors and the Grizzlies are talking happily, the Pelicans must hurry up if they want to intervene.

And most of this deal will involve a third party, so the time left for him is really tight.

The deal deadline is getting closer, and more deals are being made.

The Celtics traded Mirotic from the Bulls, and their strength has been further strengthened.

The lineup of Walker + Tatum + Mirotic + Whiteside will have a strong impact on the Bucks in the East.

The conclusion of this deal also puts further pressure on Demps.

For the Raptors to compete with these two main competitors, their need for Gasol is even higher.

And as the trade deadline is getting closer, the Raptors' trading chips have also been exposed.

Valanciunas, Delon Wright, CJ Miles and the future second round, four for one.

Valanciunas is the official starting center of the Raptors. He averaged 12+8 per game this season, has a 2-year contract, and has an annual salary of less than 2000 million.

Wright, the No. 15 pick in 20, although his contract expires this summer, is also a good rotation player with training value.

Miles, there are 2 years left in the contract, 800 million per year.

It's not a good stack, but it's not bad either.

Especially Valanciunas, a younger European insider than Gasol, is also a player that the Grizzlies like and can train.

It is not easy for the Pelicans to compete against him.

Tang Tian was waiting for Demps' call, and he did, when it was only half an hour before the trade deadline.

"I made a four-team deal, but Memphis insisted on Kuzma."

Quartet, in addition to the Pelicans and Grizzlies, there are Clippers and Jazz.

In the previous rumors, the Clippers hoped to seek a backup center, and the Jazz hoped to get Crowder, which proved to be not rumors.

They also therefore joined in the deal.

The specific plan of the four-party transaction.

Pelicans: Send Dedmon, Crowder, Kuzma, and a special case worth 1000 million from the Clippers to get Marc Gasol;

Clippers: Send Milos Teodosic and a future second-round pick to Dedmon;

Jazz: Send Sefoloza and future second-round picks to get Crowder;

The Grizzlies, sent Marc Gasol, got Teodosic, Sefolosha, Kuzma, a special case of 1000 million transactions, and future second-round picks from the Jazz and Clippers respectively;

In this four-party deal, the first three teams each get what they need.

For the Grizzlies, the Teodosic and Sefolosha he got are all expiring contracts, and the special case of the transaction is air.

These are huge salary space for them next summer.

And Kuzma and those two second-round picks are their future.

The Grizzlies are grasping that the Pelicans and Raptors are competing to maximize their benefits.

"Kuzma can't give it. If the Grizzlies insist, we will only trade with the Jazz."

Tang Tian gave Dempsey the answer.

Gasol is a reinforcement for the Pelicans, but it's not worth sacrificing Kuzma.

And the lessons learned from the offseason are there.

At that time, Thomas Bryant was sent away in order to complete the Butler trade.

If Bryant is still on the team, Dedmon is not in good shape, and Bryant can just top it.

Dempsey took Tang Tian's order and went to negotiate again.

Trades for other teams have continued one after another.

However, there are two people who have been rumored a lot before, but there is no final news.

One is Marc Gasol and the other is Anthony.

Seeing that the trade deadline is approaching.

Tang Tian thought the deal was blown, and he was going to discuss with Stevens how to let Davis play the fifth position without getting injured.

Dempsey called him back.

The four-party deal was reached 2 minutes before the deadline.

The Grizzlies finally exchanged Kuzma for a second-round pick in 2023 and chose to send Gasol to the Pelicans.

With such a late pick in the year, this is a bet that the Pelicans' future record will decline.

This four-team deal is a buzzer deal and the last deal at this year's trade deadline.

It's like a shocking lore.

The first thousand and 220 chapters Tang Tian's first choice...

After the deal was completed, social media was also bombarded all of a sudden.

"The Grizzlies are too stupid. They sent Gasol to the Pelicans in a bunch of second rounds! What's the difference between this and sending Paul Gasol to the Lakers?" A message from the invincible Du Xiaoshuai.

"Yes, it's robbery! Tatum must stop it!" A message from a Jokic fan.

"That's right, the Big Four have just disintegrated, and the Big Three will be brought up again soon, which is very boring!" A message from a Godfather fan.

"The main reason is that the price is really too small. The Pelicans sent two benches and a second round..."

"Memphis Professional Delivery Star Grizzlies!"

"Um, isn't your tempo too exaggerated? The Grizzlies are not fools. If Gasol was really valuable, would they ask for such a low price?"

"That's right, you don't watch the Grizzlies games, right! Gasol's state has declined a lot this season!"

"The Grizzlies started to play poorly at the beginning of the season. The team can only watch Gasol, but he only averaged 15 points per game..."

"Gasol is much older than when his brother was traded, and he still has a 2-year, 5000 million contract, which is already half a garbage contract!"

"I also think that if Dedmon wasn't in such a bad state this season, it would be much easier to use than Gasol. I think this trade for the Pelicans is even a loss." A speech from a Durant fan.

"It's not a loss, but the improvement of the strength of the Pelicans is limited. If Gasol's performance is average, the salary space of the Pelicans next year will be a problem."

"That's right, neutral fans said, this is just an ordinary reinforcement deal."

"However, the Lakers and Spurs are at a disadvantage. Their strength is very close to that of the Pelicans. Now the Pelicans have become stronger, even if only a little bit."

"No, no, before the Lakers were defeated by Tang Tian with 82 points and a logo three-pointer. That was luck. The Lakers are still stronger!" A Siakam fan said.

"I also think that in seven games, the possibility of the Lakers winning is still high, with or without Gasol."

"The Lakers Championship!"

……

Fans were buzzing on social media.

But in fact, compared to Gasol this night, Anthony was the worst.

He was traded to the Trail Blazers last season, and he was put on the shelf early this season, but the trade deadline came, and he was not traded in the end.

According to the latest news from Woj, there is a high probability that Anthony will be bought out by the Trail Blazers on the buyout deadline.

Gasol's buzzer trade was completed, and the Pelicans immediately sent a welcome official tweet on their official website.

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and Gasol is also a player who has scored for a while.

On the offensive end, he can extend from the three-second zone to the free throw line, and on the defensive end, he can also defend from the three-second zone to the free throw line, and he can also support it with one hand.

As the fans said on social media, although the peak is no longer, but regardless of the contract and the future, it is a reinforcement for the Pelicans.

When new players join, old players will naturally leave.

Dedmond and Claude went to the locker room to tidy up the wardrobe the next day.

When Claude cleaned up, there was no one there, only Jeff Green went over to say hello.

No matter what the reason is, it will be difficult to be popular with the team if it affects the atmosphere of the team.

Most of the players are on Dedmon's side.

Dedmon has been with the Pelicans for more than a year, and he is also one of the contributors to the Pelicans' three consecutive championships last season.

Moreover, his personality is also of a more approachable kind. Now that he is traded away, the team members are somewhat reluctant.

Because there will be a training session soon, most of the players will be there, but Tang Tian is not.

It's not that he deliberately didn't come, but that he went to Los Angeles early in the morning, where the selection of the All-Star live broadcast will be held.

It is still TNT's live broadcast, and the Big Three are still the hosts.

Compared with last year, the only difference is that among the five people sitting behind the table, James was replaced by Brother Antetokounmpo.

Antetokounmpo was rather shy, and was soon a little embarrassed to be molested by the TNT Big Three.

Barkley and the others also kept laughing. Compared with James, Antetokounmpo is obviously much more fun.

"If you had the chance to choose someone first, who would you choose?"

Buckley asked Antetokounmpo with a smile.

This is a necessary question.

"You have to choose one of the remaining eight players in the starting lineup."

Kenny Smith made the same friendly reminder as last year.

Antetokounmpo nodded.

"I'll pick Kyrie first, he's my teammate."

Brother Antetokounmpo is real, not only telling who he would choose, but also giving reasons.

Barkley and O'Neill laughed, and Tang Tian was also amused.

"Don, your choice? Will you still pick Kemba Walker first this year? Jimmy Butler is not in the starting lineup this year, Klay Thompson is not here, oh yes, Kyrie Irving, you will compete with Antetokounmpo Owen?"

Barkley then threw the question to Tang Tian.

"I leave one suspense, the effect of the show."

But what Barkley didn't expect was that it was Tang Tian's turn to say this this year.

And his words amused the TNT Big Three together.

Tang Tian will also take into account the effect of the show, and he is quite a host!

Like last year, the pair then proceeded to coin guessing.

Tang Tian guessed the word.

It turned out that his luck this year was better than last year, so he guessed it.

In other words, he has the right to choose first this year.

This time the program really came into play.

Not only the Big Three of TNT in the studio, but also the audience in front of the TV were particularly curious about Tang Tian's choice.

This year's starter, apart from Tang Tian and Brother Antetokounmpo, there are 8 people left.

Harden, Durant, Leonard, James, Walker, Irving, DeRozan, Horford.

Among the 8 people, Walker and Owen are hard-working brothers, which is why Barkley asked Tang Tian if he would choose them.

Because according to Tang Tian's selection method last year, hard training brothers must be given priority.

Apart from these two, there is another one who has a high probability of being selected by Tang Tian is Leonard.
