Chapter 1014 Brothers Basketball 2.0 (Third Update!)

After Lamb's deal was completed, the Pelicans successively completed signings with Diaw and David West.

Both received a fully guaranteed minimum salary contract.

The Pelicans now have Davis, Dedmon, Harrell, Kuzma inside, and even Siakam can play at the fourth position. In theory, they don't need so many inside players.

But signing the two still makes sense in many ways.

First, both of them still have gas in the tank;

Second, both of them made a lot of contributions last season, especially Diaw. Jokic performed well in the rotation after being injured in the Western Conference Finals. This is also a reward for the hero;

Third, the two have rich experience and will play a very good mentor role in the growth of young players.

After completing the signing of three people, the Pelicans' lineup for the new season has basically been determined.

Point Guard: Walker, Brogdon

Shooting Guards: Tang Tian, ​​Lamb

Small forward: Butler, Bojan, Siakam

Power forward: Davis, David West, Kuzma

Center: Dedmon, Harrell, Diaw, Thomas Bryant

There is still one spot left on the 14-man roster, so we will have to wait and see if there are any defenders who can be picked up or have quality in the free market.

But there is no rush for the time being. There are not many guards in this lineup, but Butler can also play the second position. Coupled with Brogdon, who has starting ability, the backcourt is still very strong.

The training camp for the hard-working brothers lasted for nearly a month.

They also took the time to go to the Drew League for an actual game. They tortured other teams so much that they doubted their lives and almost didn't get officially banned.

Tang Tian also met Rose. The former MVP had a Razor beard and was much more mature.

But their focus is training.

Both Walker and Davis have improved greatly this month.

Especially Walker, with the help of Parker, not only the stability of small throws has been significantly improved, but also a very good chemical reaction with Davis.

Tang Tian's previous prediction was quite accurate. Walker and Davis, the two players who like the pick-and-roll the most, worked together to create a 1+1>2 effect.

It seems that the two will play together for a long time in the new season.

The same thing happened to Davis.

In last season's game, Davis has already demonstrated his low-post rebounding skills. Because of his height and body shape, he looks a bit like Duncan.

Now under Duncan's guidance, the technique is even more proficient.

It seems that in the new season, this will hopefully become one of his weapons.

In addition to their hard-working brothers, there are two other people who are also practicing enthusiastically.

Dedmon and Thomas Bryant, two people who joined the training camp later, were asked by Tang Tian to practice only one skill, three-pointers.

Bryant already has a certain three-point ability and adapts quickly to practice.

Dedmon, on the other hand, surprised everyone. This big, dark, tough man who had only made one three-point shot in the first four years of his career was not used to it and even resisted it at the beginning.

But as the training progressed, he shot more accurately and better than Bryant.

Demps was overjoyed after seeing it. Black and thick and hard, he added a three-pointer. The top version of the 3D center. The 6 million the Pelicans spent is not worth it!

Butler and Walker looked at Tang Tian in horror.

They knew that Tang Tian suggested signing Dedmond. This guy must be cheating!

Time has entered early September. About half a month before the start of each team's training camp, the training camp of the Kulian Brothers was also disbanded early.

Compared with the previous times, this time it was much quieter.

Neither Irving nor Thompson said anything about winning the championship.

After all, the Pelicans have four hard-working brothers, especially the tacit understanding and strength shown in the training camp, which is unrealistic even if they pat their heads.

As for Walker and Butler, they finally no longer have to work hard to accompany them. This is their best chance to win the championship.

After the training camp was disbanded, the hard-training brothers began to get busy with their own affairs.

Walker and Butler have been training before, and now they have time to finally choose and buy a house.

Especially Walker, whose entire family is still in Charlotte, so he has to hurry up.

Davis went to San Antonio to learn how to repair cars with Duncan.

It is said that those who are close to red are red and those who are close to ink are dark. After practicing with Duncan for a month, my low position skills improved and my interest in repairing cars was also cultivated.

Tang Tian also has his own plan.

"Your pig looks so cute."

When Parker saw the African lion, he made a joke to Tang Tian, ​​which made Tang Tian re-examine his lion.

Just like people don't notice that they are getting fatter, African lions are with them every day and they don't feel that they are growing up, so they naturally don't feel that they are getting fatter.

When I compare the videos and photos I took when I was a kid, I can’t help but sigh like Parker, I raised a pig!

But there is nothing that can be done about it. African lions have been castrated when they reach adulthood. It is not reasonable for them to eat or sleep and not gain weight.

Although the estate is large, it is still too small for the African lions.

Tang Tian and Olson decided to take it back to Nigeria to play.

Speaking of which, the two of them haven't been there for more than four years, and Olson still misses the taste of the seafood there.

And for them, taking their two children out to play is also part of being a parent.

So this time they went to a much bigger battle. In addition to bringing Karl, they also brought a few bodyguards.

After packing their luggage, the group quickly got on the plane.

Just before getting on the plane, Tang Tian received a message from Woj.

As a journalist, you have a partnership with the team and even the players.

Woj had first-hand news about the Pelicans before, and he would also share his 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 mid-level salary of 8.4 million a year.

Unlike history, after James left the Cavaliers, Wade received a maximum salary extension with the Heat.

Last season was his contract year, and on the trade deadline at that time, there were rumors that the Heat were preparing to trade or buy out Wade.

But in the end that was just a rumor, and by the time Wade became a free agent this summer.

Because Wade is the soul of the Heat, he has basically not attracted much attention in the free market.

But Wade and the Heat have big differences on the issue of contract renewal.

Wade hopes to get a decent 1-2 year pension contract similar to Kobe Bryant's, and then choose to retire with the Heat.

However, Heat president Pat Riley feels that the 35-year-old Wade is not worth the price and is not even willing to offer an annual salary of more than 10 million.

In the end, the two sides never reached an agreement, and Wade's contract renewal issue was delayed again and again.

Until now, Wade finally chose to leave Miami and join James' Cavaliers.

The 35-year-old Wade is definitely not worth the maximum salary, but he averaged 19 points, 4.5 rebounds and 4.7 per game with the Heat last season!

This is still the performance of a quasi-All-Star player.

Irving's departure previously cost the Cavaliers the chance to continue competing for the championship.

But David Griffin traded for George and then signed Wade.

Wade + George + James + Love + Whiteside.

James' brother basketball 2.0 is officially launched!
