Chapter 476 2014 NBA Buyout Deadline (Second Update!)

After the three home games, Tang Tian ravaged his friends one by one, and the Pelicans ushered in the longest winning streak of the season with 8 consecutive victories.

His scoring average has also continued to increase and has broken through 29. It is obvious that he has widened the gap with Durant.

Kerr's performance is also getting better and better. In the last game, he scored in double figures for the first time in his career with the Pelicans and scored 13 points.

The Pelicans trade is really profitable.

However, the situation of another new aid, Whiteside, is more embarrassing.

After four games, his ten-day contract expired.

Averaged 10.6 minutes per game, 2.5 points, 3 rebounds, 2.5 blocks and 4 fouls.

Except for the eye-catching performance in the first game, the performance of other games was very average.

And because he has not been able to perform well, his mentality has problems, and he has been late for training.

Williams was disappointed with Whiteside's performance.

After the first game, he was ready to put Whiteside in the rotation.

The next game for the Pelicans is an away game against the Bulls.

Before heading to Chicago, Demps found Tang Tian and talked about Whiteside.

The person was found by Tang Tian's suggestion, and it did play a certain role.

But the question now is whether to continue to keep people, or to continue to find people.

If looking for another person, does Tang Tian have any new suitable candidates?

"Give me another ten-day short contract. He has the ability. I'll try to communicate with him."

Tang Tian gave an attitude.

Although Whiteside did not perform very well, the talent is real.

Dempsey nodded, he would not deny this kind of face.

"But I have to remind you that if he can't perform well in the next ten days, we will give up on him, because a player can only sign two ten-day short contracts at most in one season."

Dempsey then reminded.

Tang Tian nodded. He had also been the general manager in his previous life, and he knew that.

After a few contacts, the Whiteside people have no major problems. What exactly happened, we have to find an opportunity to communicate.

"By the way, tomorrow is the buyout deadline. These are players with a high probability of being bought out. You can see which one is more suitable."

Dempsey handed the tablet to Tang Tian again.

There are several important time nodes in the NBA, the trade deadline is one, and the buyout deadline is also one.

The buyout deadline is the deadline by which NBA players can be allowed to participate in the playoffs.

In other words, for those players who still have the strength and want to play in the playoffs, but have no chance to play in their home team, this is their chance.

The tree moved the dead and the living moved. When they bought out, they gave up part of their salary in exchange for freedom, and continued to hit new contracts.

Tang Tian took a look.

Caron Butler, one of the former tridents of the Wizards, is playing for the Bucks this season. As a veteran, he doesn't have many opportunities to play, and there is a high probability that he will be bought out.

Danny Granger, the 76ers aim to rebuild, although they have been traded from the Pacers, they will definitely not use it, buyout is the only option.

Andris Biedrins, the former starting center of the bombardment division, has few opportunities to play in the Jazz, and there is a high probability that he will choose to buy out.

...

This year's buyout free market is actually quite lively, and these veterans still have a lot to spare.

As far as Butler and Granger are concerned, both of them still have a lot of strength. It would be good if the Pelicans could sign one.

Of course, the market after their buyout is also huge, and the Pelicans may not be able to get it.

But among these people, Tang Tian found a familiar figure.

Reggie Evans.

Compared with several other players, he is not well-known. He entered the league in 2002 and has been in the league for more than ten years, but he has never received a salary of more than 5 million.

But he has a well-known point, he is a typical rebounding idiot.

Can you imagine a player who averaged less than 20 minutes per game and averaged more than 7 rebounds per game in his career?

And this is a player who is only 2.03 meters tall.

He was in the Nets last season, at the age of 33, he still averaged 11.1 rebounds per game, which is really a miracle.

However, apart from rebounding and defense, he basically has no other abilities.

Because of his short height and lack of blocking, he doesn't even have the ability to eat cakes, let alone assists and support.

This season, the Nets and the Kings have rarely played, and the Kings are now preparing to buy out his final contract.

"This player, he can use it."

Tang Tian said directly to Dempsey.

It seems that Whiteside still needs time to mature. Before that, Evans is definitely the best candidate.

What the Pelicans lack is this kind of hard-working insider who can grab the board.

As for the four-on-five on the offensive end, the low position of the center is the lowest in the Pelicans' current offensive tactics.

"no problem."

Dempsey nodded.

The market for Evans is very small. This kind of player who can do nothing but defensive rebounds is the most difficult to survive in the NBA.

And now there are only 14 people on the Pelicans roster. Considering that Whiteside may leave the team, it is right to give the 15th man to the big man.

Before going to Chicago, the Pelicans officially announced that they had reached a second ten-day short contract with Whiteside, which gave the latter another chance.

And just after arriving in Chicago, Woj reported a message.

The Kings and Reggie Evans reached a buyout, and the latter will sign a one-year minimum salary contract with the Pelicans.

Evans moved quickly, completed his physical before the game between the Pelicans and the Bulls, and flew straight to Chicago.

It can be seen that he has been unsatisfactory in the Nets and Kings this season, and he is anxious to prove himself again in the Pelicans.

With a full jaw, if it wasn't for that big face, I would have thought it was James Harden.

There are not many players with beards in the league. The former bearded Baron Davis and the current James Harden are relatively well-known.

Evans is not as well-known as them, but this mustache is not far behind.

Moreover, his personality seemed very cheerful. When he entered the locker room, he greeted each team member with a smile, and chatted with Ci Shiping for a long time.

He doesn't seem to need an adaptation period at all to integrate into the team.

"Boss, give me the rebound."

When Evans walked to Tang Tian's side, he immediately called the boss.

And that tone of voice really gave people the feeling of an idiot Xu Chu, and people would naturally feel at ease with him.

Williams put Evans directly on the active list, replacing Whiteside.

Whiteside looked a little unhappy.

But the NBA is like this, the management and the coaching staff are two different things.

It is very likely that if one opportunity is not grasped, the entire career will be over.

Because of the upcoming game against the Bulls, Tang Tian didn't have time to take care of Whiteside for the time being.

And now he looks forward to the performance of Evans, a rebounding idiot.
