Chapter 644: 2015 NBA Trade Deadline (Third Update!) )
Tang Tian and Cole have a good relationship, and Demps asked him to give advice this time, which made him a little embarrassed.
"I know your relationship, but Dinwiddie is improving faster than expected, and if we don't trade Kerr away now, we'll lose him in the summer, and he'll get a great opportunity to go to the Lakers."
Demps continued on the phone.
To be honest, Jeremy Lin's performance with the Lakers is not too good, and if Kerr goes, he may play from the bench to the starter.
It's an opportunity he won't have with the Pelicans.
"We don't need a Lakers draft pick, and if the Lakers make the playoffs, it's going to be a second-round end that has little value."
Tang Tian said on the phone.
"But that's all he's worth."
Kerr is only a point guard at the bench level, and he's on an expiring contract.
can have the value of the second round, also because the Lakers are more anxious, after all, this season is likely to be the last season of Kobe Bryant's impact on the playoffs.
"You show me the list of players that are on the shelves of each team right now, and I can see if there are any suitable players."
Tang Tian knew that Demps said that a deal was imperative, so he could only try to make this deal a win-win situation.
Demps hung up the phone and quickly sent the list over.
Tang Tian saw two more familiar names on it.
Will Barton.
Barton was the Trail Blazers' second-round pick in 12, and this is his third year, and he hasn't improved much.
This kind of player is likely to be the Trail Blazers will not execute the final year of his contract in the summer, so it makes sense that this is the time to put it on the shelf.
Barton Downday still knows, and later became a bench bandit for the Nuggets and a contender for the best sixth man in history.
Now, with his low post on the Trail Blazers, pulling the Lakers in as a three-way will definitely succeed.
But the problem is that Barton is the kind of striker who overlaps with Gordon's role, and he is thin and has no defense, and the three-point range is only passable.
Barton's improvement in history is an opportunity given by the Nuggets, and even if he is traded to the Pelicans, with Gordon and Morrow, it will be difficult to play.
After thinking about it for a while, Tang Tian passed him.
He set his sights on the name of the other man.
Bismarck Biyombo.
Biyombo was in the same class as him, when he was drafted by the Bobcats with the eighth pick.
But his growth has been far less than expected, playing for almost four years, averaging only 4 points and 6 rebounds per game, and the Bobcats will definitely not renew his contract in the summer.
At this time, it was put on the shelf by the Hornets (the original Bobcats officially changed their name to the Hornets in May 2014), and it was similar to Kerr's situation.
Biyombo Tang Tian also knows that his strength is indeed not up to his rank, and even he, like Evans, is the kind of player who has no offensive skills at all and can only rely on picking up leaks and eating cakes.
But he's a black and hard, defensive presence who averages 1.5 blocks per game in a limited amount of time.
Overall, a weakened version of Whiteside.
I don't know if Whiteside's contract extension next season can be done, and if he is traded, it can be regarded as a spare tire.
And Evans is getting older, and this is basically the last season of his career, and even if Whiteside successfully renews his contract, he will be enough as a third center.
After choosing, Tang Tian called Demps.
Demps had won the best general manager because of Tang Tian's operation before, as long as Tang Tian was willing to give advice, he would definitely listen.
After getting the trade partner, he contacted the Hornets to prepare a three-way trade.
After Tang Tian hung up the phone, Olsen came in in a nurse's suit.
Preparing for pregnancy has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard!
……
Time flies, a few days have passed, and the deals of various teams have begun to progress one after another.
With a few hours left before the deadline, deals were being struck.
The Suns became the team with the most action.
They first sent their team's starting point guard Dragic to the Heat, acquiring Granger and Justin Hamilton with two first-round picks.
After a struggled early in the season, the Heat performed well under Wade before the All-Star break, and still have a chance to make the playoffs in the East.
Riley chose to strengthen at this time, which can be regarded as an explanation to the Miami fans who have been spraying him this season.
After sending away Dragic, the Suns followed suit with the Celtics to send their sixth man, Isaiah Thomas.
They acquired Marcus Thornton and a 2016 first-round pick from the Cavaliers in the trade.
Thomas is averaging 15.2 points, 3.7 assists and 2.4 rebounds per game this season.
The Celtics have been strong under Stevens and are still in the playoffs, so it makes sense to be a reinforcement.
The Suns' two moves looked like they were abandoning the season, but the one that followed was a trade that stunned everyone.
Brandon Knight, who averaged 17.8 points, 4.3 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game, was sent to the Suns in a three-way trade as the starting point guard who performed well with the Bucks this season and helped the Bucks return to the playoffs!
The deal left fans screaming at incomprehension and left Knight at a loss after being traded.
But this is the NBA, and the fate of most players is in the hands of management.
In addition to the Suns, other deals are being made as the trade deadline continues to approach.
The Thunder sent Reggie Jackson, the team's sixth man, to the Pistons, for the Jazz's N.K. Kanter, the Pistons' Augustin and Singler.
The Jazz sent Kanter to get Perkins, who was on the Thunder's expiring contract.
The Pistons got Reggie Jackson.
Unlike the previous trade of high-quality rookies for draft picks, Jackson had some resentment towards Durant last season, and the starting problem with Westbrook became more and more troublesome, which was also a last resort for the Thunder.
In addition to the Thunder, the Nuggets made a big deal with the Trail Blazers.
They sent Afflaro and Alonzo Gee in exchange for Will Barton, Victor Crav, Thomas Robinson, and a future first-round pick from the Trail Blazers.
This is basically a reinforcement deal for the Trail Blazers, and Barton, who Tang Tian paid attention to before, also went to the Nuggets as in history.
These transactions are basically the same as in history.
In fact, before the All-Star break, the pattern of the East and West has actually been set, and it is unlikely that there will be a big deal.
Just as the trade deadline was approaching, the Pelicans also had a trade done.
They made a three-way deal with the Lakers and Hornets.
The Lakers sent Ronnie Price and a 2015 second-round pick to get Norris Kerr.
The Hornets sent Biyombo to Price, a 2015 second-round pick.
The Pelicans sent Norris Kerr to get Biyombo.
