The Pelicans' four-star team has begun training, and for them, the new season is a must-win season.

Even compared to the four-star Warriors, they are not able to describe failure without winning the championship, but rather failing to defeat the opponent and failing to reduce the ratings.

So even though the lineup is very strong, everyone is under a lot of pressure.

Demps was not idle when Tang Tian and the others were training.

After completing the transactions and signings one after another, the Pelicans still have the remaining players.

Point Guard: Walker, Brogdon

Segment guard: Tang Tian

Small Former: Butler, Boyan, Siakam

Power forward: Davis, Kuzma

Center: Harrell, Thomas Bryant

There are 10 guarantee contracts on the roster. In addition to veterans David West and Dior who are likely to renew the contract, there are 3 places.

Although these three places have exceeded the salary cap, they who have not passed the tyrant line will have a full middle class.

Due to the increase in salary cap, the full middle class this year has increased significantly compared with last year.

Last year it was around $5.6 million, and this year it can reach $8.4 million.

This is undoubtedly the best news for the Pelicans, which have traded a lot of rotations.

According to the rules, they can use the full middle class special case to sign free agents, with the contract length not exceeding four years and the salary increase not exceeding 5%.

In addition, they can also split it to multiple players, with the same regulations on the years and increase.

The only less favorable news is that there are not many players in the free agent market now, and there are not many players left for them to choose from.

This day, my brothers were training. After practicing, they played a three-on-three half.

Walker, Tang Tian, ​​Davis, Parker, Butler, Duncan.

If you play three to three, Tang Tian is a monster.

But there were both fights back and forth in both sides.

Although Duncan has retired for a year, unlike Kobe, he has no worries about having children and still maintains the intensity of training. He has gained the upper hand in confrontation with Davis in a short period of time.

The same situation also happened directly with Walker and Parker, who had no way to make a breakthrough and throwing small throws in Walker.

The first three-on-three between the two sides finally got a draw.

Walker and Davis were sitting on the floor and gasping for breath. They didn't feel frustrated, but instead felt that this year's training camp would really help them a lot.

While resting, Demps came to look for Tang Tian.

The two talked about the team's strengthening next season.

Parker and Duncan both went back to rest after training, and the rest were from the Pelicans, and Demps did not avoid suspicion.

He gave Tang Tian a list of the remaining players in the free market and asked him to choose three people.

Walker and Butler were both curious. This was the first time they had seen the team general manager communicate with players like this.

The Pelicans' current lineup is missing a tall black and thick hard center, and it also needs to supplement the backcourt.

After Holiday and Williams were exposed to being traded, their strongest backcourt has become a little weak now.

"Dymond is the first choice, and then talk to Carter."

After sweeping the list of remaining free agents, Tang Tian talked about the two candidates.

Diamond is black, rough and hard, and is considered a height-enhanced version of Harrell.

Although his offensive ability to eat cakes is not as good as Harrell, Diamond has one point that only Tang Tian opens his eyes to know.

This is a black and rough that can develop three points, which is quite rare in the league.

In fact, Thomas Bryant, who was picked up by the Pelicans in the last round of this year's draft, is of this type, 3D black, rough and hard.

The Pelicans are determined to win next season, and they will definitely not be able to wait for Bryant to grow, and Harrell is not enough.

If Diamond can be defeated, it will definitely be cost-effective.

Next is Carter. Old Carter proved in the Grizzlies last season that he still had a lot of oil in the fuel tank, and playing Tang Tian’s substitute was enough.

Moreover, Tang Tian had similar experiences in working with McGrady before, so he would like this very much.

After all, this means he can take the opportunity to glance at his skills, and ufo dunk is one of his skills that must be krypton gold in the later stage.

Of course, this is the best candidate, and there will be some spare tires after these two people.

Diamond's spare tire is Kelly Olynick, who is also a type of player.

Carter's spare tire is Joe Harris, who is also an old Pelicans player.

Of course, there are also spare tires for spare tires, Willy Reed, Nick Young, etc.

Who can sign in in the end depends on Demps' negotiation ability.

However, after the conversation, Demps guaranteed Tang Tian, ​​and he was particularly confident about the team's attractiveness this year.

Tang Tian smiled and said nothing.

Diamond is not so worried. The Pelicans have a full middle class and it is not a big problem to win.

But Carter is a little uncertain. Unlike other players, Carter has a low desire for championships, and he prefers playing time.

But as Tang Tian’s substitute, this is not so satisfying.

Demps took the list given by Tang Tian and left the manor and went to negotiate with the free agents.

While they were negotiating, Butler and Davis couldn't wait and had already gone back to take a shower and rested.

Walker listened with relish.

Speaking of which, Walker is also half a top student, and his college grades are very outstanding.

"Let's go, Kemba."

Tang Tian got up and moved his body, and greeted Walker.

Walker nodded, and the two of them walked out of the training hall.

It's July and the weather is quite hot.

Fortunately, Tang Tian considered this when he built the basketball hall, and they were very close to their living place.

Walker was quite considerate and helped Tang Tian get the car keys and other things when he left.

After returning to the room and taking a shower, Tang Tian remembered that the key was still there, so he went directly to his room.

Knocked in the door and walked in, Walker had already taken a shower and was packing his luggage there.

Because he had just confirmed to join the Pelicans, Walker had not had time to buy a house here. Like Butler, both of them were still living in Tang Tian’s manor temporarily.

And it was a few days before, and I had no time to take care of my luggage.

When Tang Tian came in, he was holding a red jacket and giggling.

"You've kept it all the time and kept it with you?"

When Tang Tian saw his actions, memories flashed through his mind.

This is the lucky red jacket that Walker specially chose when they participated in the 2011 NBA draft six years ago.

In a blink of an eye, 6 years have passed, and when I see this jacket again, my memories gush out.

That feels like they did nothing, or when they were playing in college.

"Yes, are yours still there?"

Walker asked with a smile.

"Of course, but mine has been hanging in the cabinet. After all, it was given by you and I'm treasured."

Tang Tian replied.
Chapter completed!
