Chapter 681 The Deal Delivered to Your Door (Third Update!)

Tang Tian saw this scene in the draft room.

Embiid, Nowitzki, plus the current Booker, and Carlisle, still have enough salary space, and they will rise next season.

His crossing changed many things, even his competitors changed accordingly.

Warriors, Rockets, Spurs, Clippers, Grizzlies, Mavericks, the competition in the Western Conference will become more intense in the new season.

Especially in the Southwest Division where the Pelicans are, the Texas Three has added the Grizzlies and the Pelicans. The new season is really a death division.

The draft is still going on, the lottery picks have been selected one after another, and Bobby Portis, the favorite of the Pelicans, is still in the small green room.

It seems that they have a lot of fun.

The draft has unknowingly progressed to the 23rd pick, which has been traded to the Wizards, and Woj has already revealed that the Wizards are interested in Portis.

"We have a deal."

At this moment, Dempsey put down the phone and said to Tang Tian.

"Wizards?"

Tang Tian asked.

The Pelicans want to take Portis, and the current trade object is only the Wizards.

If they can, they can beat Portis at the buzzer.

"No, it's about Eric."

But out of Tang Tian's expectation, what Dempsey said was related to Gordon.

He frowned slightly. It seemed that Portis was gone, so he could only choose others from the remaining people.

"What deal?"

Portis is gone, so don't think about it anymore, Tang Tian also listens to Dempsey's words.

"It was proposed by the Nets. They want to trade Gordon with Thaddeus Young and this year's 45th pick in a sign-and-trade approach."

Yang's contract with the Nets expires this season, and he is now a free agent. The Nets want nothing but white wolves!

Although Gordon's contract has only the last year left, and last season's performance was not very good, but the Nets' deal is a bit of a good idea.

Tang Tian was about to refuse directly, but at this moment, he suddenly remembered a person.

When the Pelicans traded with the Nets last season, Bojan Bogdanovic was initially suggested by Tang Tian, ​​but the Nets rejected it. After discussion, it was changed to Teletovic.

"You trade Gordon for Bojan Bogdanovic."

Tang Tian said.

Demps nodded and continued to communicate with the Nets.

Because of the previous team's tactical system, the Pelicans already had a lot of three-point shooters. Now that D'Antoni is in charge, they need more.

Bojan's three-point shooting is very good, and it would be great if he could be traded.

The Pelicans now have Dinwiddie on the bench to control the ball. An off-ball player like Bojan is more needed by the Pelicans.

The negotiations on Dempsey's side seem to last for a while, because the Pelicans' draft pick is approaching, Tang Tian and Lausha began to confirm the candidates.

Portis has been selected by the Wizards with the 23rd pick, and their remaining candidates are Nance Jr., Osman and Harrell.

Finally, under Tang Tian's suggestion, the Pelicans decided to choose Harrell.

Portis is an immediate force, and Harrell is a potential stock.

The advent of the small ball era is irreversible, and Harrell can be the fifth position in the small ball era.

The rookie has a four-year contract, and Harrell is cultivating it, and he will definitely be able to use it in the future.

The Cavaliers selected Osman with the 27th pick, and their thinking is similar to that of the Pelicans.

It is difficult for this kind of rookie at the end of the first round to get playing time in the championship team, so it is better to choose a rookie with potential.

After the Cavaliers finished the selection, Xiao Hua came to the front of the stage for the 28th time behind the scenes.

The boos were even worse.

The next pick belongs to the Pelicans. They know that the Pelicans lost to the Warriors last season has a lot to do with Silver.

"With the 28th pick in the first round in 2015, the New Orleans Pelicans selected Montrezl Harrell, a 2.03-meter power forward from the University of Louisville."

Harrell stood up excitedly when he heard that he was selected by the Pelicans.

The Pelicans are now strong and are one of the favorites to win the championship, and the Pelicans don't have a serious fourth position right now, which is an excellent opportunity for him.

The Pelicans fans at the scene were also cheering.

In the past, this kind of short power forward was not very popular in the league. Derek Williams and Beasley were typical of them.

But now that the small ball era is coming, Harrell is an insider suitable for this era.

The Pelicans finished the selection, and then the Nets (the Eagles' draft picks were traded) and the Warriors all finished their selections one after another, and the first round of the draft also ended.

The Pelicans do not have a second-round pick this year, so if they want to choose someone, they can only buy it.

However, there are not many suitable candidates in the second round this year, and the Pelicans have a complete lineup. It doesn't make much sense to spend money to buy draft picks and end up with the same result as Taylor Johnson last season.

In other words, the task of the Pelicans in this year's draft has been completed, and if there are no other deals, they are also prepared to withdraw early.

Over there, Dempsey is still communicating with the Nets general manager Max.

And from the content of his conversation, it seems that this is not just a transaction between the two teams, but also involves a third-party team, the Cavaliers.

After a few minutes, Dempsey put down the phone and told Tang Tian about the latest situation.

The Nets are willing to send Bojan to the Pelicans, but they need to get more in return.

The Cavaliers are interested in Thaddeus Young, but because they want to renew the contracts of Love and Tristan Thompson, they don't want to sign Yang now, but want to use special exceptions and extras to sign first and then get Yang.

Now the three parties have negotiated a three-party deal.

The Pelicans traded out Gordon, got special trade cases from Bojan and the Cavaliers, and added players;

Nets trade Thaddeus Young and Bojan, get Gordon and more in return;

Now that the transaction is going to be successful, the first thing to determine is who the Cavaliers are adding to, and the second thing is to find ways to give the Nets more returns.

Tang Tian asked Dempsey to show him the Cavaliers' current roster.

After scanning, his eyes quickly locked on a person.

Joe Harris, the Cavaliers' second-round pick last year basically didn't have much playing time in the Cavaliers.

If the Pelicans want him, the Cavaliers will certainly not refuse.

"I want him."

Tang Tian gave Dempsey a very clear message.

He knows Joe Harris, the future top-notch three-point shooter.

As Morrow ages, his decline is inevitable. Like Harrell, Harris is preparing for the future.

Dempsey had the answer, then turned around and continued with the three-way deal.

With Harrell selected, the Pelicans' draft this year is basically up to the mark. If they can still get top role players like Bojan and Harris, it will be absolutely overfulfilled.

When Dempsey put down the phone and talked about the tripartite transaction, it showed that the three parties had basically reached an agreement, and the only difference was the details.

Sure enough, after a while, Dempsey put down the phone, indicating that the deal was concluded.
