The Golden Invincible of Basketball

Chapter 498: 2014 NBA buyout deadline

After three home games, Tang Tian knocked his friends back one by one, and the Pelicans also ushered in the longest eight-game winning streak of the season.

His scoring average has also continued to improve, has broken 29, it is clear that the gap with Durantla.

Cole also played better and better, scoring double points for the first time in the Pelicans' career and scored 13 points.

The Pelicans traded for real.

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

After 24 games, his ten-day contract expired.

The game averaged 10.6 minutes, 2.5 points, 3 rebounds, 2.5 blocks and 4 fouls.

Except for the first eye-catching performance, the performances of other games were average.

And because he has not been able to play well, his mentality has also gone wrong, and he has been late in training.

Williams was disappointed with Whiteside's performance.

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

The Pelicans' next game is to play the Bulls away.

前往 Before going to Chicago, Demps approached Tang Tian and talked about Whiteside's question.

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

But the question now is whether to keep people or to keep looking for people.

If you find someone else, Tang Tian still has no new suitable candidate.

"Give another ten-day contract, he has the ability, I try to communicate with him."

Tang Tian gave an attitude.

Although Whiteside doesn't perform very well, he does have talent.

Demps nodded, he would not give up this kind of face.

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

Demps went on to remind.

Tangtian nodded, he also worked as general manager in his last life, this is still known.

I have to say that after several contacts, the Whiteside people did not have much problem. What did they encounter? I had to find an opportunity to communicate.

"Yes, tomorrow is the buyout deadline. This is a player with a high probability of being bought out. Which one is more appropriate?"

Demps handed the tablet to Tang Tian again.

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

The buyout deadline is the deadline for NBA players to be allowed to participate in the playoffs.

In other words, this is an opportunity for players who still have the strength to play in the playoffs but do not have a chance to play in the home team.

The tartars move dead and live. When they buy out, they give up part of their salary in exchange for being free and continue to hit new contracts.

Tangtian looked.

Caron Butler, one of the Wizards' former tridents, played for the Bucks this season. As a veteran, there are not many opportunities to play, and he will likely be bought out.

Danny Granger, the 76ers are rebuilding, although they have been traded from the Pacers, they will definitely not use them, and buyouts are the only option.

Andris Biedrins, the former center of the former Bombardment Division, has few opportunities to play in the Jazz, and will most likely choose to buy out.

Uh ...

This year's buyout of the free market is actually quite lively. These veterans still have a lot of power.

Butler and Granger, both of them have a lot of strength, if the Pelicans can sign one is still good.

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

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

Reggie Evans.

Compared to several other players, his fame is not great. He has been in the league for more than a decade, but he has never earned more than 5 million salary.

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

Can you imagine a player who averages less than 20 minutes per game and has more than 7 rebounds per game?

And this is also a player with a height of only 2.03.

He was at the Nets last season. At the age of 33, he still managed to grab 11.1 rebounds per game, which is really amazing.

However, he has basically no ability except rebounds and defense.

Because of his short height and no cover, he has no ability to eat cakes, let alone assists and strategies.

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

"This player, he can use it."

Tang Tian said directly to Demps.

Whiteside now looks like it will take time to mature, before that, Evans is definitely the best candidate.

What the Pelicans lack is the kind of inside line that can fight hard.

As far as the offensive end is four or five, the center is the lowest in the Pelicans' offensive tactics.

"no problem."

Demps nodded.

Evans's market is small, this type of player can not do anything except 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 a big man.

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

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

The King of Kings and Reggie Evans reached a buyout, which will sign a one-year basic salary contract with the Pelicans.

Evans moved quickly, completed a medical checkup before the Pelicans and Bulls race, and flew directly to Chicago.

I can see that he has been unsatisfactory with the Kings this season at the Nets, and is anxious to prove himself again in the Pelicans.

With a beard full of chin, if it was not that big face, I really thought it was James Harden.

There are not many players in the league with chins. The former bearded Baron Davis, now James Harden is relatively well-known ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Evans is not as well-known as them, but this hand mustache Do not hesitate to let go.

And his character looks very cheerful. When he entered the locker room, he smiled and greeted the teammates one by one, and talked with Ci Shiping for a long time.

融入 His integration into the team does not seem to require adaptation at all.

"Boss, give me the rebound."

When Evans came to Tang Tian, ​​he called the boss directly.

And the tone of speech really gives people a feeling of idiot Xu Chu, people naturally feel relieved to him.

Williams put Evans directly on the activation list, and he replaced Whiteside's previous position.

Whiteside looked a little upset.

But this is the NBA. Management and coaching are two different things.

It's very likely that once the opportunity is not grasped, the entire career is over.

Because of the upcoming game with the Bulls, Tang Tian also has no time to take care of Whiteside.

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

Ps: Special thanks to Yadi Xinglan, a great reward for non-programming cats! !! ...
