Chapter 1053 Brother Basketball 2.0
After Lamb's trade was completed, the Pelicans signed with Dior and David West one after another.
Both of them received a fully guaranteed basic salary contract.
The Pelicans now have Davis, Dedmont, Harrell, Kuzma, and even Siakam can play in the fourth position, and in theory, they don’t need so many inside players.
But signing two people still has many meanings.
First, both of them still have oil in the fuel tank;
Second, both of them made a lot of contributions last season, especially Dior. Jokic, who performed well in the rotation after injury in the West Finals, which is also a reward for the heroes;
Third, the two are experienced and will play a good mentor role in the growth of young players.
After completing the signing of three people one after another, the Pelicans' lineup for the new season has basically been confirmed.
Point Guard: Walker, Brogdon
Scoreback: Tang Tian, Lamb
Small forwards: Butler, Boyan, Siakam
Power forward: Davis, David West, Kuzma
Center: Dedmont, Harrell, Dior, Thomas Bryant
There is still a quota for the 14-man roster, which is to check in the free market if there are any guards who can find bargains or have strong strength.
But there is no hurry for the time being. There are not many defenders in this lineup, but Butler can also play in the second position. In addition, the powerful Brogdon is still very strong in the backcourt.
The training camp for hard training brothers lasted for nearly a month.
They also took the time to go to the Drews League in actual combat, and the other teams they abused were suspected of their lives and almost were officially suspended.
Tang Tian also met Rose. The former MVP had a Laza beard and was much more mature.
But their focus is on training.
Walker and Davis have improved a lot this month.
Especially Walker, with Parker's help, not only did the stability of small throws significantly improved, but also had a very good chemical reaction with Davis.
Tang Tian’s previous prediction was still very accurate. Walker and Davis, two players who liked pick-and-roll, played a 1+1>2 effect together.
It seems that the two will play together for a long time in the new season.
The same happened to Davis.
In last season's game, Davis had already shown his skills in playing boards at a low post, because of his height and size, he looked like Duncan.
Now under the guidance of Duncan, this technology is more skilled.
It seems that this is very promising to become a kind of weapon in his arsenal in the new season.
In addition to their hard training of brothers, there are two others who are also very enthusiastic.
Dedmon and Thomas Bryant, two of them later joined the training camp. They only practiced one technique, three-pointers, at the request of Tang Tian.
Bryant already has a certain three-point ability and can adapt quickly when practicing.
Dedmont amazed everyone. The thick and hard man, who only scored three-pointers once in the first four years of his career, was uncomfortable at the beginning and even a little resistant.
But as the training progressed, his shots were even better than Bryant.
Demps was ecstatic after seeing it, with black and rough and hard plus three-pointers, the top 3D center version, the Pelicans' 6 million is worth noting!
Butler and Walker looked at Tang Tian with horror.
They knew that Dedmond was signed by Tang Tian, and this guy must have cheated!
As time goes by early September, when there are about half a month before the training camps of each team are opened, the training camp of the brothers of the Hard Training Camp is also disbanded early.
Compared with the previous few times, this time it is much quieter.
Neither Irving nor Thompson said anything more about winning the championship.
After all, the Pelicans have the four brothers who work hard to train, especially the tacit understanding and strength shown in training camp, and even patting their heads knows that it is unrealistic.
As for Walker and Butler, they finally stopped running away with each other, which was the most chance they had to win the championship.
After the training camp was disbanded, the brothers who practiced hard began to work on their own affairs.
Walker and Butler have been training before, and now they have time to finally have time to choose a house to buy a house.
Especially Walker, all the family is still in Charlotte, he has to hurry up.
Davis ran to San Antonio to find Duncan to learn how to repair cars.
It is said that those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to Mo are black. After practicing with Duncan for a month, their low-level technology has improved, and their interest in repairing cars has also been cultivated.
Tang Tian also has his own plan.
"Your pig looks so cute."
When Parker saw the cougar, he joked with Tang Tian, which made Tang Tian reexamine his lion.
Just like the principle that people don’t find themselves getting fatter, the cougars are with them every day, and they can’t feel their growth, and naturally they can’t feel their gain.
I took out the videos and photos I took when I was a child and compared them. I really couldn't help but sigh like Parker, I have a pig!
But this is also impossible. Cougars have been castrated when they are adults. They are not just about eating or sleeping. It is unreasonable to not be fat.
Although the manor is large, it is still too small for African lions.
Tang Tian and Olsen decided to take it back to Nigeria for fun.
Speaking of which, I haven't been there for more than four years, Olson still misses the seafood taste there.
And for them, taking two children out to play is also something they need to spend as their parents.
So this time they went there, in addition to bringing Carl, they also brought a few bodyguards there.
After packing up, the group quickly got on the plane.
Just before boarding the plane, Tang Tian received a message from WOJ.
As a journalist, there is a partnership with the team and even the players.
Before, Woj of the Pelicans' news was first-hand, and he would also share the first-hand news with the Pelicans and Tang Tian.
This signing news can be big or small.
Wade signed with the Cavaliers for a full middle class of 8.4 million a year.
Unlike in history, after James left the Cavaliers, Wade received a maximum salary renewal with the Heat.
Last season was his contract year, and at that time the trading deadline was rumored that the Heat were preparing to trade or buy out Wade.
But in the end, that was limited to rumors. By this summer, Wade also became a complete free agent.
Because Wade is the soul of the Heat, he basically didn't attract much attention in the free market.
However, Wade and the Heat have great differences on the issue of renewal.
Wade hopes to get a decent 1-2-year pension contract similar to Kobe, and then chooses to retire with the Heat.
But Heat CEO Pat Riley feels that Wade, who is already 35 years old, is not worth the price, and is even unwilling to offer an annual salary of more than tens of millions.
In the end, the two sides did not reach an agreement, and Wade's contract renewal was delayed again and again.
Until now, Wade finally chose to leave Miami and joined the Cavaliers where James is.
The 35-year-old Wade's maximum salary is definitely not worth it, but last season he averaged 19 points, 4.5 rebounds and 4.7 per game with the Heat!
This is still a performance of a quasi-All-star player.
Irving's previous departure once made the Cavaliers lose the opportunity to continue to compete for the championship.
But David Griffin came to George by operating the transaction and signed Wade.
Wade + George + James + Love + Whiteside.
