Chapter 1145 Butler Is Going to the Clippers

Walker signed with the Celtics, and there was one less big fish in the free market, and there were more Lakers fans calling for nurses to renew their beds.

As the former No. 1 player in the league and currently the No. 2 player, James joining the Lakers gave the Lakers the best cornerstone for their revival, but he was unable to get a second star.

It was said that James would be second only to Tang Tian in the selection of the best teammate?

Why is it that when things come to an end, everyone seems to be avoiding James!

This is unreasonable!

Just when Lakers fans were puzzled, Woj broke another piece of news that shocked the league.

Cousins ​​will join the Warriors with a one-year mini-middle-class contract worth 5 million!

When this news broke, both fans and team management were scolded.

Although Cousins ​​was reimbursed last season, he was the number one center after all!

5 million, the Warriors are robbing!

No, the Warriors are engaging in a yin-yang contract!

Amid the scoldings of fans, Cousins ​​successively announced some details of the signing in front of the media.

It has been five days since the free market began, and Cousins ​​hopes to sign a contract with an annual salary of about 20 million.

But until now, no team is willing to give him 10 million, let alone 20 million.

This made him feel seriously insulted!

So he had the same idea as the four brothers who worked hard at the Pelicans last season. He wanted to take revenge on society!

After the Tang Tian clause came out, every team was disintegrating, including the Pelicans, who had just established a dynasty.

Among the remaining teams, the Warriors and Mavericks are the few teams that can maintain a super lineup because they enjoy the bonus of signing contracts early.

But the Mavericks already have Embiid, and Jokic has left Denver, so the Warriors are the only and most suitable choice.

On one side, the four-star star lacks a center, and on the other side, he wants to take revenge on society. The two sides hit it off!

As for why he signed the contract so early, it can only be said that Cousins ​​​​has felt the indifference of the league in the past five days, and his fire of revenge is very strong!

But what makes fans so angry is not the fact that Cousins ​​signed with the Warriors. After all, Cousins' market has been cold, which shows that he is not recovering well from injury.

It is really unrealistic for a big center to recover from a torn Achilles tendon.

What makes fans so angry is that the mid-level exception used by the Warriors does not count against the salary cap!

In other words, they still have a way to keep Durant!

It can even be said that signing Cousins ​​is an added bargaining chip for the Warriors to keep Durant.

We had a lot of conflicts last season, but now with Cousins, our five-star lineup takes revenge on society!

Don’t you want a championship? It’ll be there next season!

So Pelicans fans scolded, Lakers fans scolded, and all other fans scolded.

The NBA season finale has just come, and it was hard to survive until Xiao Hua stepped down. After Tatum came to power, he strongly opposed the grouping.

As a result, the Warriors did this, and next season will be the finale of another NBA season!

It’s crazy if you don’t scold me!

Many fans even transferred their anger towards the Warriors to Durant.

The Warriors are treating you like that, and Green is pointing at your nose and saying that we already won the championship before you came.

You actually stay with the Warriors, for money and the championship, you really don’t even have any dignity!

You have surrendered to the enemy, but you cannot be soft like a woman!

But this time, no matter how much outside fans scolded him, Durant's camp, including Durant himself, did not respond.

Fans even tried to look for Durant's trumpet on social media but found nothing.

This abnormal phenomenon is puzzling.

But some people understand that Durant is holding back, waiting for the new season to be as big as the Pelicans last season.

Tang Tian watched the news in the manor.

The news that Cousins ​​signed with the Warriors is not news to him.

The five-star Warriors in history also appeared this season.

The only difference is that Cousins ​​was reimbursed for the season earlier and should be able to catch up with the game at the beginning of the season.

The Warriors should be stronger than they have been in history.

He was watching fans' discussions on social media when the phone rang and it was Butler calling.

Although Walker has not officially signed with the Celtics, he has already gone to Boston to buy a house and prepare for it.

Butler has not decided on his next home and remains in New Orleans.

After answering the phone, I knew Butler was at the door.

Tang Tian went to pick him up.

"How about I stay?"

Butler didn't even take a sip of his coffee when he sat down. This was the first thing he said.

Tang Tian shook his head.

On the one hand, Butler will always be the second or even third boss if he stays with him.

On the other hand, they agreed to leave together. Now that Walker has left, Butler stays. Isn't this a trick to Walker?

"The Warriors are already one of the Big Five. If I don't stay, you will lose next season!"

Butler is a real fan of Tang Tian. He doesn't seem to think about his contract at all, he just wants to help Tang Tian win.

"Do you think AD and I can't beat the Warriors' lineup?"

Tang Tian didn't take the warrior seriously at all.

He also has the complete confidence to say this.

Even if the Warriors force Durant to stay, the conflict between Durant and Green cannot be resolved.

He also knows very well what strength Cousins ​​will have after his injury. In addition, it is unknown what strength Green will become after becoming a zero-egg Warrior.

Of course, the most important thing is that next season he will have a super long three-pointer, and all his skills will be complete.

Even if the sneaker dividends are enough, he can exchange it for a golden skill shark body. Let alone the Warriors, he will still be defeated by the Zandu combination.

"I didn't mean that, I meant it's not safe. If you think it's not suitable for me to stay for a long time, I'll just sign a 1+1 with the team!"

Butler still wants to stay.

"Don't talk about this. As I said before, you can become the boss of another team, get the most money and show your value.

As long as you have the championship, one more or one less is not that important, and you are about to turn 30, so you have to get the biggest contract when you are at your peak. "

Tang Tian did not agree.

Just like what he said in the second sentence, it is really unreasonable for the 29-year-old super giant to cut his salary.

On the contrary, if Butler signs a four-year contract with another team and takes a player option, he will still have a chance to get another big contract when he is 32 years old.

One year may seem short, but the impact it may have is completely different.

"But……"

"Stop being a naysayer and tell me how your talks with other teams are going now. Don't say you haven't done anything these days."

Tang Tian interrupted Butler and changed the topic back.

Butler sighed. Sometimes he really didn't understand Tang Tian.

But when Tang Tian asked about this, he told the truth.

"Mr. Jerry West has communicated with me several times, and I think he is a good fit."

he continued.

West is now a team consultant for the Clippers. What this means is that if he does not stay with the Pelicans, Butler will go to the Clippers.
