Chapter 1042: Owen, George, Butler

Xiao Hua officially made a comeback, and although the future is full of uncertainties, it can at least be regarded as temporarily stable.

After stabilizing, the signing of free agents by various teams has also begun.

James, Durant, Curry, Lowry and others have all signed one after another.

Although the president of the alliance has changed, it doesn't seem to have happened like Qiao Shouxin at the beginning, and everything is going on smoothly.

Headquarters in New York.

Xiao Hua is communicating with Joe Borgia.

Borgia was one of the vice presidents of Tatum's time, and his previous role was in charge of replay and referee operations.

But his relationship with Tetum, like the relationship between Tetum and Xiao Hua, has never been compatible.

Now that Xiao Hua is back, the first thing is to promote Borgia to his chief vice president.

"Everything is going well, there is no imaginary opposition coming out, and it seems that this year's inspection period will pass smoothly."

Borgia was promoted and also became Xiao Hua's most loyal subordinate.

Xiao Hua couldn't hide the smile on his face after hearing this.

He knows very well what the bosses like, so Tetum Tang Tian or something, forcing him out of office for half a year last season is already the limit.

Now that the situation is calm, the two celebrated at the headquarters.

"Is there any reaction from Tang Tian and the Pelicans?"

After Xiao Hua laughed, he still asked more.

"No, in fact, the player is just a tool to play, even if he is the first person in the league, the bosses will not care, the labor side has no right to speak, and the management side controls everything."

Borgia said with a smile.

Xiao Hua nodded after listening.

"And the first person in the league can be praised, as long as he can help LeBron win the championship in Cleveland, isn't the first person still his?"

Borgia continued.

Xiao Hua laughed after hearing this.

This Borgia has a lot of ideas and a flexible brain, which is especially liked by him.

If you want to say that he failed last time, a big part of the reason was the lack of a staff like Borgia.

Now after half a year of hibernation, he has come back, and he has also summed up the lessons of the previous one.

No one this time, and no one will ever stop him again!

Just when the signing of each team was going on one after another, Woj broke a small piece of news.

Walker didn't sign with the Celtics in the first place, mainly because he was worried about the contract situation with the Celtics' team options.

The Celtics are also reluctant to make concessions.

Angie's mind is shrewd.

There is no team offering Walker a contract right now, and the Celtics are the team on the market that can give Walker the biggest contract.

Drag, the Celtics can afford to drag, Walker can't afford to.

So he just had to wait patiently for Walker to compromise.

However, there is too much news of big-name signing on this day, and Walker's presence is actually not so strong.

Everyone also felt that it was only a matter of time before Walker signed.

And compared with Walker's signing, another piece of news that broke out on this day obviously caught their attention more.

Because of the involvement of the Cavaliers and Bucks, the Pacers gave up the idea of sending George to the Thunder!

According to the latest news from Shams, the Cavaliers, Pacers and Bucks are likely to make a three-way deal.

In this deal, Irving, George and Middleton will be the centerpiece of the three-way deal!

This news is the kind that fans care about the most!

Irving's departure from the Cavaliers is a foregone conclusion, but with two years left on his contract, he is worth more than George.

So the probability of this deal going through is very high.

But this is bitter for Thunder fans, who were waiting for the Big Three to take shape, but now they are told that they are gone?

The dove of the three essences of human beings?

Thunder fans have been complaining on social media.

But before they could finish complaining, another piece of news from Woj immediately attracted the attention of fans.

The Pelicans added Jokic to their bargaining chips, which allowed them to quickly leave the other teams behind, and a deal is expected between them and the Mavericks in a short period of time.

A few strong teams in the east and west will sing and I will appear, so lively!

"Is there a way to stop them from trading?"

At the headquarters in New York, Borgia asked Xiao Hua.

Xiao Hua shook his head.

Neither the Pelicans nor the Mavericks were league-hosted teams like the Hornets had in the past, and both teams had a mediocre relationship with him.

It's hard to stop them from closing the deal.

And taking a step back, even if this deal were made, the improvement for the Pelicans would be limited.

You must know that Butler is also a 20 million salary cap, and if the Pelicans want to trade him, in addition to sending Jokic, they must also send Ariza or Bojan, and even add to Williams.

That's a third of the rotation of the championship-winning lineup, which isn't necessarily a good thing for the Pelicans.

Anyway, toss, tossing in the end is futile.

Last season, the Warriors were inseparable from the Pelicans without the help of the referee, and now a bunch of people change for Butler is just a blind sheep patch.

On the contrary, he publicly said that he would not move the lineup before, but now he has started to trade again, which makes him feel very happy because of his comeback.

On the third day after the freeze ended, the free agent signings were almost all in progress.

It was also on this day that the three-way deal that had previously attracted heated discussions among fans was finally reached.

As with the previous news that Shams broke out, Irving, George and Middleton became the main body of this three-way deal.

The Cavaliers sent Irving to Paul George and second-round picks from the Bucks in 2018 and 2020.

The Bucks sent Middleton, Jabari Parker and second-round picks from 2018 and 2020 to Irving and a 2018 first-round pick from the Pacers (lotto protected).

The Pacers sent George and a 2018 first-round pick (lotto protected) to Middleton and Jabari Parker.

Each of the three parties in this deal takes what they need.

For the Cavaliers, Irving's departure was inevitable, and the trade was a timely stop-out, and they only needed to sign another point guard in the free market;

For the Bucks, the duo of Irving and Antetokounmpo is a duo that they can strengthen in the free market.

For the Pacers, they also got their biggest reward, Middleton is a high-quality contract with a high base salary in the league, Parker averaged 20 points per game last season as a roster sign, and he will be put on the shelf by the Bucks just because of a major injury, and the Pacers can gamble.

The three-way deal shook the league, but the fans' reaction was okay, after all, the main framework of the deal had been exposed by Shams before.

Just when fans were still discussing the details of the transaction, Woj's news also blew the fans' eyes again.

The Pelicans made a deal with the Mavericks to send Jrue Holiday and Nikola Jokic to get Jimmy Butler from the Mavericks!
