Chapter 1150 Olson Hospital Examination, Tang Tian Was Happy...
Carter wants to come to the Pelicans, which is quite unexpected news.
You must know that the Pelicans were also interested in Carter last year, but Carter did not choose the Pelicans because of his playing time.
It's like chasing a girl, getting rejected, and then coming back to her a year later and saying she wants to be with you.
Normal people's first feeling is that they want to be the successor.
Demps is obviously worried about this.
Carter earned an annual salary of 8 million with the Kings last season, but averaged only 5.4 points and 2.6 rebounds per game, all of which were career lows.
After all, UFO is 41 years old, and even if it changes its style of play now, there is not much gas left in the tank.
If it's the role of veterans against young players, the Pelicans already have Parker on the outside.
Of course, the most important thing is that the Pelicans currently have a 15-man roster. Except for Trier, who has a completely non-guaranteed contract, the remaining 14 people have guaranteed contracts.
Wanting Carter means not wanting Trier.
Tang Tian listened to what Dempsey said and nodded.
Demps is now a very qualified general manager, and he has considered the problem very comprehensively and thoughtfully.
"But I think we can sign him and give him a try. Our shooting guard is really lacking in ability and experience."
Tang Tian affirmed Dempsey, but finally gave his own advice.
Although Ding Yanyuhang has made considerable progress, he is still a little far away from being able to rotate into a strong team, not to mention Trier is a rookie.
Last season, Lamb was his substitute, but this season he may have to rely on Alexander to swing.
But Alexander is also a rookie. It is impossible to give him many training opportunities from the beginning in a strong team. He has to rely more on improving off the court like Siakam.
Carter should be able to help out a bit early in the season.
This is probably why Carter wanted to come to the Pelicans, to have a chance to win and play.
"But Trier?"
Once Tang Tian expressed his thoughts, Demps would not object, but he still raised his concerns.
Trier performed well in the summer league in Las Vegas and deserves a spot on the team.
“My thought, looking at the preseason performance, is that if Trier can gain playing time for himself through training and perform, we can consider other options to free up spots, our forward line is relatively crowded now.
If not, we can consider signing a two-way contract with him first. None of our two-way players have been used this year. "
Tang Tian still considered the problem more comprehensively.
After getting the instructions, Demps quickly reached a minimum salary contract with Carter.
By the way, he also signed two more training camp contracts among the undrafted players.
With an 18-man roster and 15 guaranteed contracts, this lineup is very safe entering the preseason.
The 41-year-old Carter joined the Pelicans. This is not big news, but it has also attracted discussion among many old fans.
One of the most eye-catching points of view is that Carter finally has a chance to compete for the championship.
McGrady originally realized his dream with the Spurs, and now it's his cousin Carter's turn to have this opportunity.
The Pelicans signing Carter is just the aftermath of the free market.
Tang Tian's hard training brother training camp is still going on.
Both Zhou Qi and Ding Yanyuhang worked very hard, and it was obvious that both of them cherished the opportunity.
After all, there are seven hard training brothers, and each one is very capable. They are lucky to be included.
Tang Tian was also very pleased to see this.
Speaking of which, there will be a Men's Basketball World Cup next summer, and it will be at home.
The Chinese team won the Olympic Games, and their only goal next year is to win the championship at home.
And now compared with 2016, the strength of the Chinese team has also become much stronger.
Tang Tian's strength has gone from being the best in the league to being the best in history, and what's even more frightening is that he still has one year left;
Yi Jianlian is still the main force in the Nets;
Zhou Qi has made significant progress and is expected to officially enter the Rockets rotation in the new season;
Ding Yanyuhang also signed a formal contract with the Pelicans;
Coupled with Guo Ailun's progress, Abdul Saramu's sudden rise;
The possibility of the Chinese team winning the trophy at home next year is much greater than winning the previous Olympic Games.
Time flies so fast, more than a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and it is already the beginning of September.
Because most team training camps have already started in late September, the training camp of the hard-working brothers has come to an end here.
More than a month of training was about maintaining their condition for Tang Tian and the others, but for Zhou Qi, he gained the most.
Especially the high-intensity and scientific training method, he will stick to it in the new season.
The training camp of the hard-working brothers has ended. In the past few years, they have always said harsh words to each other about winning the championship, and then they went back to their respective homes.
But this year is different. Tang Tian said before that they will go on vacation together this year.
Mars Project took a group of them directly to the Gulf of Panama for fun.
Panama has famous ancient city ruins, national parks and the Grand Canyon, especially the Panama Canal, which is world-famous.
Moreover, Panama City is a seaport city with a particularly long coastline.
It's great to go on vacation there in late summer.
One of the more interesting things is that they met the Rockets who were training there. Paul, Harden, Capela and other core team members were all there.
The Rockets stopped in the semifinals last season and will definitely want to make a comeback in the new season.
Zhou Qi was a bit pitiful. He joined the team training camp just one day after he came out to play.
But this is not necessarily a bad thing for him.
Not strong enough to work hard enough.
After spending a week's vacation in Panama, the hard-working brothers each said some harsh words about winning the championship as before, and then went back to their respective homes to find their respective mothers.
And the timing was just right. Olson was more than two months pregnant and could go to the hospital to test the gender of her baby.
On the way to the hospital, he took two wrong turns and was still nervous.
This feels even more tense than a situation where you are one point ahead in a tiebreaker in the finals, when your opponent has the final possession of the ball and may be defeated.
After having a family, basketball is just a career, and children are much more important than career.
Olsen couldn't help but laugh in the back seat.
But she also understood Tang Tian's mood.
It took them a long time to conceive this child.
And unlike the previous time, this time they went to conceive a girl.
All previous preparations, including diet and even the timing of pregnancy preparations, were strictly in accordance with the plan.
If they are pregnant with a boy, it will definitely be a big blow to them.
It took more than half an hour longer than usual, and they finally arrived at the private hospital.
Get out of the car, draw blood, and wait for the results.
Olson sat while Tang Tian walked back and forth in the corridor.
Just when Olson was about to feel dizzy, the inspector finally came out.
Because it is a private hospital, the attitude is very good.
"Mr. Tang, congratulations."
The inspector walked to Tang Tian with a smile on his face.
"It's a boy."
