Chapter 992 Lakers President...
You must know that the Mavericks have only signed Butler for two years, and Butler has just been selected for the double team!
You actually want to sell someone after changing hands?
This is a bit unreasonable!
"Yes, they just didn't take action, so I took the initiative and gave them a blow."
Butler's next words left Tang Tian speechless.
And it's a done deal, and if you think about it, it doesn't seem completely impossible.
Carlisle's status with the Mavericks is similar to that of Popovich with the Spurs. Cuban has absolute trust in Carlisle.
The conflict between Butler and Carlisle appeared as early as the middle of last season, and it directly affected the team's performance in the playoffs.
Judging from this situation, Cuban would also do this from the perspective of supporting Carlisle. After all, his true temperament is not comparable to that of ordinary bosses.
What's more, the Mavericks now have a strong lineup. They are determined to win the championship, and they certainly don't want to have discordant voices all the time.
Of course, the most important thing is that Butler signed a 4-year contract with the Mavericks, but it is 3+1, and the last year is a player option.
According to this intensifying trend, Butler is likely to directly choose to jump out of his contract and leave tomorrow summer.
At that time, the Mavericks had nothing to gain from anything.
On the contrary, when Butler gets a double team, sells it when the market is at its highest, and still has a one-year contract, the transaction value is the highest.
So after careful analysis, it makes sense for the Mavericks to trade Butler.
But I didn't expect that Butler had been with the Mavericks for two years and had internal connections, so he jumped out in advance.
This probably blew up the entire Mavericks management team.
"Kyrie came to see me yesterday and he wanted to come to New Orleans too."
Tang Tian did not express his position directly, but talked about Owen's visit.
"He wants to come too? Then why don't we go together...you persuaded him to go back?"
Butler is still relatively involved in the world and reacts relatively quickly.
"Well, he's not suitable to come here. You... To put it bluntly, I don't like team basketball."
Tang Tian and Butler have a closer relationship and speak more directly.
Butler was silent on the other end.
"And if you do the same thing as George, you won't be able to come to New Orleans."
"What's the meaning?"
Tang Tian's next words gave Butler hope again.
"I don't think George came to New Orleans, because the management of any team doesn't want to be led by the players. If you really want to come to New Orleans, you should at least give out a few teams, so small Only with competition within the scope will you have a chance.”
After all, Butler is different from George or even Irving.
Although Tang Tian doesn't like team basketball, he doesn't care about Butler's current situation at all, so he doesn't seem to be brothers.
So he first expressed his attitude and then gave Butler advice.
"I knew it, Tang. As I said, if you can't become the boss of a team and ask me to play second fiddle, I will only play for you!"
Butler said emotionally.
He is different from Irving. His goal or ambition has always been there, which is to become the team boss step by step.
But if the goal cannot be achieved, as he said, he is only willing to play second fiddle to Tang Tian.
Tang Tian was very moved when he heard this. Butler's attitude was somewhat like a man who would die for his confidant.
But he still remained rational at this time.
"Jimmy, I said I don't like team basketball, so I won't interfere with the management's decision in this regard, do you understand what I mean?"
He finally said that the straightforward meaning of this was that he would acquiesce if Butler really came, but he would not ask the management to trade Butler.
People have a certain persistence. Playing basketball in a group is something he doesn’t want. Without irresistible external force, he will not break this bottom line by himself.
"I see."
Butler also understood Tang Tian.
After hanging up the phone, Tang Tian pondered for a long time.
First it was George, then Irving, and then Butler. I don’t know when the league started to unite.
Even the players themselves feel that it is natural to join a team, and it would be wrong not to join a team.
But no matter what, he didn't like it, and it wasn't necessary for him.
Just when fans were talking about Butler's designation of the Pelicans as his next home, Woj's following reports shocked them.
According to Woj reports, Butler doesn’t just want to go to the Pelicans. He also wants to go to the Rockets, Heat and Lakers.
And since then, Woj has successively reported the reasons why Butler wants to go to these teams.
Butler is a Houston native, and the Rockets are his hometown.
Butler admires Wade very much and has the idea of joining forces with Wade in Miami.
As for the Lakers, I don’t know, but the Lakers are the championship.
Woj's report that was so different before and after shocked people, but after such reports came out, the fans felt a little more comfortable.
After all, it is not a matter of selecting the next home, but at least choosing one of four.
And judging from subsequent reports from Dallas reporters, the Mavericks' management has already begun to operate.
Butler broke his reputation in advance, so the Mavericks took advantage of the situation and traded him away. Anyway, with four buyers, if there is competition, they can get enough good chips.
And among the four potential buyers, the Rockets moved extremely quickly.
Because Cousins is out for the season, the Big Three have become two Big Three. They continue to strengthen their strength, and Butler is undoubtedly the best choice.
They are short of small forward now!
And because Cousins' contract is not large and Paul's contract expires, Morey has a particularly large operating space.
Originally, Paul broke out of his contract and got close to the Spurs, and with Cousins being reimbursed for the season, the Rockets were in a dead situation. Butler's sudden appearance made everything come alive again.
On the first day after the opening of the free market, major events followed one after another, which was dizzying.
By the time this day passed, the fans already felt that their hearts could not bear it.
They thought that the situation would be better the next day, but no one expected that at the beginning of the second day, two consecutive big news made them unable to sit still.
The Cavaliers explored Irving's value in the trade market, and Irving requested a trade from the Cavaliers! And also gave the next team he wants to go to, the Spurs, Nets, Lakers, and Clippers!
The most worrying problem for the management of each team emerged. After George became the first person to eat crabs, everyone else followed suit!
At this time, the management of each team really wanted to hate George to death.
But the happiest people at this time are the Lakers fans.
Because the next teams designated by Butler and Irving include the Lakers!
"Come on, come on, come to the bowl, Irving plus George + Butler + Simmons + whoever, this lineup can return to the top!"
"The Lakers championship is real this time!"
"Moji, Magic, please quickly use your magic to bring them all to Los Angeles!"
