Chapter 1144 Licking the Dog to the End...

After Tang Tian said this, Dempsey said nothing more.

It's just that Butler wants to be the boss and definitely doesn't want to go to the Spurs.

If you want to trade Green, you can only move to a third-party team that Butler wants to go to, or see if there is any interest between Walker and the Spurs.

Speaking of Parker's upcoming retirement, Walker, as a fan of Parker, should be very interested in joining the Spurs.

"So do we need to add another small forward?"

Dempsey then asked a little cautiously.

After all, it was his cool move to trade Bo Yang away before.

Tang Tian did not blame Dempsey as before, he said yes and listed some candidates.

Although he doesn't look as good as Bo Yang, he can still fill this position.

"By the way, let's talk to Brad later and let Kuzma lose weight and play the third position."

Tang Tian thought about it and said.

For the power forward position, there are Davis, Siakam, Kuzma and other immediate combat players in front of him who will not have much playing time at the fourth position.

On the contrary, let him lose weight and play the third position, increase his speed, and defend to the league average with his size.

Coupled with his shooting talent and cutting awareness, he has potential in this area.

And he is only in his second year, so there is still a lot of room for him to polish his skills.

This can be considered a competition. A backup small forward is traded, plus Kuzma. Whoever wins the competition will be hired.

After listening to Tang Tian's analysis, Dempsey finally didn't look so gloomy when he left.

Although he has already started training, he still has a lot to learn from Tang Tian when it comes to controlling the overall situation.

The free market continues, but for two days in a row, except for Jokic's unexpected choice to sign with the Nuggets, there has been no big news.

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 one man, one city, as his fans on social media said.

It's just that this city is from Cleveland to Los Angeles.

No big names in the free market are making any moves, and the fans are bored.

At this time, some more precise news finally came out from 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 and he meets the Tang Tian clause.

In this regard, he must pursue maximizing interests.

But beyond this, there is a message.

George has no interest in going to Los Angeles to join forces with James again.

This is also reasonable.

Having already failed once in Cleveland, he would only go to Los Angeles to continue playing with James if he lost his mind.

This is very embarrassing.

The Los Angeles media has been licking George from the moment free agency opened.

But licking the dog will leave you with nothing in the end!

However, George does not want to stay with the Cavaliers or go to the Lakers, and he has not listed the next club he wants to go to, which makes the outside world curious about where he wants to go.

Fans took to social media to list where George would like to go next, and the Clippers were at the top of the list.

The Clippers selected Doncic and Alexander. George is the best second choice and it is very suitable. Moreover, the Clippers are also in Los Angeles, which is also my hometown!

On this day, Davis visited Tang Tian's home, and the two of them chatted about recent free market events while having barbecue.

Walker and Butler haven't decided yet, so there's nothing to discuss. What they're discussing is Jokic.

Davis didn't understand why Jokic would go to a bad team like the Nuggets.

If you stay in the Mavericks and compete for the championship every year, especially after the Tang Tian clause is introduced, other teams will not be able to unite.

On the other hand, the Mavericks signed several core contracts early. The contracts they get now are not big contracts, and the lineup can last for a few years.

If Jokic stays, the Mavericks will definitely improve their record next year.

"You still don't understand him."

Tang Tian said with a smile.

"He has a very high spirit."

When Jokic first came to the Pelicans, Tang Tian often practiced with him after games.

He was deeply impressed by Jokic sleeping in the training facility.

There is also the fierceness that refuses to admit defeat in the game.

If it wasn't for Butler, he wouldn't have let Demps trade him.

While they were chatting, Tang Tian's phone rang. It was Walker calling, saying that he had arrived at the door.

I just happened to bring him in to have a barbecue together.

"I'm ready to go to Boston. They are willing to give me a super maximum salary for four years."

After eating for a while, Walker spoke.

"Good thing!"

Tang Tian said sincerely.

Although he initially told Demps to follow Walker and Butler's own ideas.

But regarding Walker, he had promised it at the beginning.

So if no one is willing to sign Walker in the free market, then he will definitely let Benson sign.

Even if this may require him to take a salary cut when he renews his contract next year.

"I also think it's a good thing."

Davis echoed.

He didn't expect Tang Tian's relationship, but simply thought it was a good thing.

When Walker said he wanted to leave the Hornets last year and the market was cold, the Celtics were the only ones willing to give him a max-salary long-term contract.

Although it is an option to lead the team, it is interesting enough compared to other teams.

Now the free market for Walker is not very good. Most teams are willing to give him a maximum salary but not a super maximum salary.

At this time, the Celtics jumped out and were willing to give him a super maximum salary.

This is the ultimate dog licking.

Walker will definitely be the boss when he goes there, and he will be a very comfortable one.

As for Green, the Spurs' asking price is very low, and it doesn't necessarily involve Walker.

"When you come to Boston from now on, I will be your master. I promise to take you to have fun."

Walker has decided on his next home, but he still feels reluctant to give up.

Last season of Brothers Basketball was his happiest season since entering the NBA.

"What are you talking about about Boston? By the way, AD and I were just talking about where to go in the summer, and we just happened to get you and Jimmy to go with us."

Tang Tian smiled and touched Walker's head.

It's a handful if you can touch it more.

Walker smiled and nodded.

They worked hard as brothers, and even if they were not on the same team, their relationship was as good as before, especially between him and Tang Tian.

The next day, the league officially announced the trade between the Pelicans and Celtics.

The Pelicans signed Walker to a four-year, $154 million contract and traded him to the Celtics, receiving Jae Crowder, a future second-round draft pick and a $21 million player from the Celtics. Transaction exceptions.

Because the Celtics have multiple player contracts expiring this season, and the team's current contract salary is far below the salary cap, this huge exception has arisen.

After James and Jokic, the third big fish of this offseason has finally settled.

This deal has also attracted a lot of heated discussion from fans on social media, and one of them has been liked by countless fans.

The Lakers and Celtics, the former giants, have become licking dogs in recent years, but there is a difference between licking dogs and licking dogs.

The Lakers had a chance to get George last year, but they felt that George was not worth their efforts, so they didn't get it.

When I tried to lick again during this season, I found that I couldn't.

But the Celtics started licking last season, kept licking until this season, and finally succeeded in licking their hands.

The comparison illustrates a truth.

As long as you are willing enough, lick for long enough, lick the dog until the end... you have it all!
