Chapter 1013 The Kangda Trident Gathers! (Second Update!)

This news surprised Tang Tian.

Although they were both Bryants, Thomas was not favored during the draft, and the Lakers did not select him with the 30th pick in the end.

“What chips did they give?”

"Next year's second-round pick."

Tang Tian nodded after listening.

This chip is quite appropriate.

Lakers fans have been clamoring for the Lakers championship all summer, but they haven't won any big names, and next season they will basically be weak.

Their second round is quite valuable, and the pick may even be higher than this year's 40th pick.

But it doesn’t make sense for the Pelicans to make such a trade.

Although Dedmon was signed, Dedmon is still 28 years old. Generally speaking, the decline in competitive status will be more obvious after the age of 30.

As a player of the same type, Bryant is a spare tire. If he is traded away, the Pelicans will have to find a team of the same type.

So this trade is not worth the gain for the Pelicans.

"Ask them for Hart, we can add a future second rounder."

The Pelicans' second round has always been worthless, and the 60th pick is equal to air, which is equivalent to trading Bryant for Hart.

Hart is the same as Kuzma selected by the Pelicans. His upper limit is not high but he has a lower limit. He has a three-pointer and good defense. He is a 3D player.

The Pelicans wanted to sign Tang Tian as a substitute but couldn't. Now that the four-star lineup has many ball-handling points, it would be great to trade him.

Demps had a new goal and continued to negotiate with the Lakers.

After the hard-working brothers had more people, they also changed from a three-on-three half-court confrontation to a five-on-five full-court confrontation.

Their four-star lineup also cooperated throughout the game for the first time.

Teaming up with them is Duncan, but this lineup has already beaten Lamb and Drummond to tears.

Guard Tang Tian, ​​Walker breaks out, guard Walker, Butler plays, guard Butler, and Davis attacks.

The strongest thing about the Pelicans' four-star lineup is that all four of them can play with or without the ball.

The opponent needs at least 8 people to double-team, otherwise it will be impossible to defend one-on-one, and the double-team will miss this and that.

And the tacit understanding between the four people is really good, which is very different from the Warriors last season and even other giant teams.

After all, they are a lineup composed of hard-working brothers.

However, this kind of confrontation is just a small test, and they are just looking for each other to feel like playing together.

They may go to some other games next, such as the Drew League or something.

Since we want to destroy heaven and earth, we have to set up our posture first, and there must be a prologue.

At the end of the day's training, Demps came to see Tang Tian again.

The Lakers rejected the Pelicans' offer. "Magic" Johnson said that Hart was not for sale to the Lakers, and if they wanted to exchange it, they would have to use Brogdon.

As long as the Pelicans are willing to trade Brogdon, the Lakers are willing to trade Hart and next year's second round at the same time.

"Do you think we are stupid?"

Tang Tian didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this.

Johnson is a great player, but he's really not good at being a general manager.

Dempsey also smiled and shook his head.

Brogdon proved himself in his rookie season and won the Rookie of the Year award.

Such a transaction is simply ridiculous.

"I heard Charlotte was touting Lamb."

Dempsey lowered his voice and said.

Lamb is in training camp now.

Sure enough, Lamb's previous worries were not unfounded.

Although Jordan, as a boss, has average vision, judging from his attitude towards Walker, he is a person without much emotion.

Lamb averaged nearly 10 points per game last season and his performance was pretty good. If he doesn't sell him now and doesn't want to keep him next season, he won't get anything.

So it makes sense to put him on the shelf.

"You go try trading. I remember we also had a second-round pick from the Jazz, and we also got two 7 million trade exceptions in a row before."

The Pelicans' current team salary, after signing Dedmon, is only over 6 million, which is still more than 14 million away from the luxury tax.

Lamb's contract has just 7 million left in the last year, which is completely affordable.

Demps nodded and continued trying to trade.

Ever since Tang Tianzhen got the four-star pelican, he has completely become Tang Tian's little fanboy.

After so many years, he already knows that Tang Tian is better than the top general managers in the league. He is right to listen to him and follow him to get something to eat.

After Dempsey left, Tang Tian turned to look at Lamb.

Speaking of which, Lamb's defense is average, but his three-point shooting is still very good.

After all, 2K Artifact.

And if you go to a super team like the Pelicans, you will have better and more three-point opportunities and your performance will be better.

Of course, the most important thing is that Lamb was Tang Tian and Walker's younger brother at UConn, and he was also a member of the hard-working brothers!

If he really gets him to the Pelicans, then the Pelicans will not only have another hard-working brother, but the original UConn winning trident will be reunited again!

Demps moved very quickly this time, and he ran to the arena early the next morning.

"nailed it!"

He first shouted at Tang Tian, ​​then turned to look at Lamb who was training.

"Jeremy, get ready to come to New Orleans!"

Lamb looked at Dempsey with a confused expression.

It wasn't until Demps explained that he slowly reacted.

He couldn't hide the excitement on his face.

He didn't want to stay in Charlotte for a long time. The atmosphere there was too depressing, and he was destined not to win next season.

But in the blink of an eye, he has arrived at a super team like the Pelicans, and he can also play with Tang Tian and Walker. Nothing excites him more than this.

After hearing this, Walker also ran over and shouted at Lamb.

He had previously told Tang Tian that he wanted to recreate the time when UConn won the championship during the NCAA era.

Now not only he and Tang Tian, ​​but Lamb is also here!

Now that all three of them are here, they can definitely do it!

Only Drummond was a little confused.

The UConn Trident won the championship just the year before him, and he was very aware of their deeds.

Now that the three are reunited in the NBA, this is destined to become a legend.

"Well, can I come too?"

After hesitating for a long time, he couldn't help but ask.

"You put the knife on Jeff Ball's neck, maybe he will agree, haha!"

Lamb was very happy now, smiling proudly at Drummond, his former teammate.

If Drummond can come to the Pelicans, then the Pelicans will be truly invincible and can win 82 games.

But that is impossible. Drummond is the face of the Pistons. Unless the Pelicans produce Davis or Tang Tian, ​​there is no need to discuss it.

Drummond looked sad. He lost every day in Detroit, and he also wanted to experience the feeling of winning!

Shortly after, the league officially announced the deal between the Pelicans and the Hornets.

The Pelicans sent the Jazz next year's second-round pick, a 7 million trade exception, and acquired Jeremy Lamb from the Hornets.

The Jazz lost Hayward this year. Although they added Williams, they have little chance of making the playoffs next season. This second round is theoretically valuable.

Regardless of the future, this deal for the Hornets is not a loss at present.

Of course, for Pelicans fans, this is another exciting and icing on the cake deal.

The UConn Tridents are reunited in New Orleans!
