Chapter 1146 Four-Party Transaction

"Clipper?"

Tang Tian was a little surprised by this result.

He thought Butler would want to go to the Heat as he did in history.

The Clippers selected Doncic, who was a natural choice. Butler won't be the boss for long.

"You haven't considered the Heat? I know you have a good relationship with Wade."

Tang Tian asked.

"Yes, I considered it, but the Los Angeles team was more conducive to me."

Butler gave a very reasonable explanation.

These cities where American NBA teams are located are also divided into tiers one to five.

Charlotte, Milwaukee, and New Orleans are all fifth-tier cities;

Toronto, Minnesota, and San Antonio are the fourth tier;

Portland, Dallas, and Atlanta are the third tier;

Tang Tian said that Miami, where the Heat is located, is a second-tier city, including Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia and Houston.

There are only two first-tier cities with NBA, New York and Los Angeles.

Both cities have two teams each, New York has the Knicks and Nets, and Los Angeles has the Lakers and Clippers.

The two teams in New York are in turmoil and have no interest in him. The Lakers have James, and the only one left is the Clippers.

"Have you considered?"

Tang Tian confirmed it.

"I want to stay...if you don't let me stay, I will go to the Clippers."

Butler continued.

"Well, it's not bad there, but I have to remind you that Doncic is a giant embryo, and his achievements will be very high in the future, so you have to be mentally prepared."

Tang Tian reminded.

"Just a European rookie."

Butler didn't care.

"I was just an Asian rookie back then."

Tang Tian joked with a smile.

Butler was stunned for a moment. He originally wanted to say that Tang Tian was different, but he also realized that Tang Tian was telling him about Doncic's talent.

"I know, but this is an opportunity and I want to try it."

Butler listened this time.

"Well, actually it's good to have two cores in a team. There's no need for one to be the boss."

Tang Tian continued.

Butler nodded.

Tang Tian didn't say anything else. Doncic's personality was somewhat similar to Nowitzki's, and he was easy to get along with.

There shouldn't be much friction between Butler and him.

And Doncic is a rookie after all, and it takes time to grow.

When he grows up and Butler gets older, he should be willing to be the second boss.

The free market has entered its sixth day, and for Lakers fans, this is another day of despair.

After Durant, Butler is out of business again!

According to Woj reports, Butler has reached a verbal joining agreement with the Clippers.

The contract size is the same as Walker's, a four-year, $1.54 contract with player options.

But because it involves a sign-and-trade, it may take some time for Butler to finally join the Clippers.

And after Woj, shams also reported more details.

The Pelicans hope to acquire a potential rookie in the Butler trade.

The Pelicans also hope to bring the Spurs in for a three-way trade to acquire Danny Green.

The Spurs are also interested in the three-way deal.

According to follow-up reports from Shams, the Spurs are working very hard to clear salary space, and getting rid of Green will help them complete this plan.

After the news broke, Pelicans fans felt a burst of disappointment, while Warriors fans felt a burst of joy.

Walker has left, and now Butler is leaving too. The Pelicans have declined significantly compared to last season.

Regardless of whether the Pelicans can replace Green, Butler will become Green, and it will still be Green who was in a sluggish state last season.

This is replacing cannons with shotguns. Once we go back to before liberation!

Even without Holiday and Jokic, the Pelicans' strength in the new season will not be as good as two years ago!

If the Warriors win the championship next season, they will be unstoppable!

Three-way trades between the Pelicans, Clippers and Spurs are being discussed, and free agency is also continuing.

Because this year's transaction freeze period is only seven days, the negotiations in these two days can be said to be very tight.

Time flies so fast, it’s 0:00 on the 8th, and this three-party deal has not yet been concluded.

Verbal agreements and deals have been concluded one after another before.

James joined the Lakers, Jokic signed with the Nuggets, and Capela and Gordon officially completed their contract extensions.

Walker also officially joined the Celtics.

Angie has been waiting for the goddess for two seasons and finally got it.

However, negotiations on Butler's side have not yet been finalized.

One of the reasons is because the Pelicans asked the Clippers for Alexander, this year's No. 11 pick.

Originally, if it was a sign-and-trade thing, the new team would definitely have to pay a big price in the near future.

But this time the Clippers, not even West, can do anything. Butler has already said that he will satisfy the Pelicans as much as possible, otherwise he will not go to the Clippers.

Tang Tian was afraid of delaying Butler and drove him out. Butler wanted to help Tang Tian win the championship.

The relationship between brothers who have worked hard to cultivate is really a breath of fresh air in the NBA, a business league.

Negotiations between the two sides have also reached a stalemate.

Tang Tian only found out after the stalemate that Dempsey was under great pressure to ask for something.

He felt that Dempsey was a little too greedy.

Just when he was about to ask Demps to give up the idea, it was Demps who called him first.

The Clippers are willing to make concessions, but they only require the Pelicans to produce Shamet, the No. 22 pick this year, and one more future second rounder.

West is indeed a shrewd man. Knowing that Alexander had to come out, he wanted to repay as much as possible.

"Give."

Tang Tian gave a very simple reply.

What more Shamet is needed when you have Alexander?

With his height, wingspan, and talent, Alexander is a piece of jade, and there is an upper limit. If it is polished well, it will be a piece of jade.

The Pelicans are short of guards this season, and having him and Brogdon is enough.

Although Dempsey was a little greedy, he was really greedy!

It can only be said that the Clippers are really determined to get Butler.

Demps continued the negotiation with Tang Tian's reply.

But what Tang Tian didn't expect was that the conversation hadn't ended in two days.

By the time Demps found him again, the three-way deal had turned into a four-way deal.

And instead of the second round, the Clippers want Thomas Bryant.

Bryant was just the Pelicans' towel man last season, but he is definitely worth more than the Pelicans' second round.

Dedmon can still be used by the Pelicans. This season they selected Mitchell Robinson, and with Harrell, the inside is still enough.

It's not impossible to give it to Bryant.

But when Tang Tian further learned that the fourth party in this four-party deal was the Cavaliers, and that it also involved George's attempt, he was completely surprised.

He was even more surprised when Demps told him the complete four-party deal now negotiated.

However, he also seems to understand why the Spurs want to sell Green. No, it should be said that it is why they want to clear salary space.

ccx is on stage, the Spurs are really going to do something big this time!

ps: It’s the middle of the month. Do the commanders have monthly tickets? Remember to vote for the cute water eggplant! Love you (づ￣3￣)づ╭～
