Chapter 427: Demps: Who do we sign?

Demps asked him to meet in the cafe.
"Our team can still sign a player now, do you have any suggestions?"
As soon as he sat down, what Demps said to him surprised Tang Tian.
"You said, you want to talk to the team when it comes to management, that's it."
Seeing Tang Tian tremble for a moment, Demps explained with a smile.
Tang Tian nodded, he was really surprised.
He said those words in a semi-joking way, thinking that he would have to wait until he helped the team enter the playoffs at the earliest.
Unexpectedly, Demps came to him at this time.
The Pelicans really surprised him time and time again.
"This is the team's current roster, you see."
Demps said, handing him the tablet.
The Pelicans now have a total of 17 contracts, 12 guaranteed contracts, and 5 non-guaranteed contracts.
Guarantee contract: Anthony Davis, Eric Gordon, Tang Tian, ​​Aminu, Ryan Anderson, Aminu, Jason Smith, Little Rivers, Anthony Morrow, Stearns Ma, Akinsa, Jeff Vichy.
Non-guaranteed contracts: Brian Roberts, Darius Miller, Lance Thomas, Arinz Onuacu, Josh Childress.
Under normal circumstances, a team will have at least 14 guarantee contracts, leaving one for mid-season flexibility.
However, the Pelicans only have 12 guarantee contracts, which is a standard weak team. The personnel fluctuations are large, and many of them need to compete for posts.
But at this time, Tang Tian also knew why Demps would let him participate in the management decision.
Because it really has little effect.
Now the free market is almost over. Some veterans and newcomers who can sign are no longer required. Anyway, there will be at least one more competition.
It just so happened that Tang Tian was given this favor.
"The next page is the current list of free agents."
Demps went on.
After listening, Tang Tian slipped down, and there were basically no people who could use it.
Anyone who has a little strength has already signed a non-guaranteed contract with the team.
However, in this list, Tang Tian saw a familiar name.
Charity · World · Peace.
That is the former Ron Artest.
He turned out to be a free agent.
"Ron hasn't signed since he was pardoned by the Lakers."
Demps saw Tang Tian staring at Ci Shiping's name and said, but he still preferred to use the old name.
That ’s right, Ci Shiping has proved to be embarrassing last season, unable to make shots, and often has a slow defense.
And he holds more than 7 million annual salary at the Lakers.
The Lakers continue to impact the championship in the new season, and the middle class signed Wright. It is expected that he will be pardoned.
"I suggest signing him."
Tang Tian looked up and said.
"He? He can't play in the NBA right now, and his economic team has been securing contracts."
Demps was afraid that Tang Tian didn't understand the situation, and he explained it to him.
"Dell, there should be some fuel in his fuel tank, and the main purpose of signing him is that this team needs his toughness and the leadership of the locker room. This team is missing this now."
Tang Tian said, if he remembered correctly, Ci Shiping played for the Lakers for a year in the 16-17 season, and he should still be able to play.
Of course, the second half of what he said is the point.
This team has the same atmosphere as the Spurs, but this is obviously wrong.
The Spurs are many old players, and the atmosphere of the team has always been this way, but the Pelicans have a lot of fluctuations and most of the players are young, which is certainly not the case.
The young team must have the momentum and blood to get the results, just like Walker and him when they were at the University of Connecticut.
So an igniter like Ci Shiping is more useful than signing a newcomer with unreliable potential.
Demps nodded, he should have adopted Tang Tian's opinion.
The Pelicans' training camp continues.
At this time, Tang Tian found that in addition to Anderson, there was another person who was also very characteristic.
Zhu Holliday.
Honestly, apart from saying hello when they first arrived, Tang Tian and Huo Ledi never spoke.
The character of this guy is a bit like Leonard.
But it wasn't this character that caught Tang Tian's attention, but his behavior.
Except for the day when the training camp started, Holloday basically came first and left the latest.
The character of this man seems to be a bit like Leonard and Butler fit.
Speaking of which, as one of the weakest All-Stars in history, Tang Tian did not really impress him much.
But these days, Tang Tian found that this guy was really good.
Like Leonard and Butler before, because he is a hard worker, he is also interested in hard people.
As the training camp progressed, the Pelicans officially announced a new signing.
They and free agent Ci Shiping reached a full guarantee contract for one year's salary.
Although it may seem like a signing that doesn't affect the overall picture, this approach by Demps and Pelican management shows an attitude.
Even if Tang Tian had asked it half-jokingly, they still figured it out.
This is a statement, and it is telling Tang Tian that as long as you can help the team return to the playoffs or go further, we will give you what you want!
This signal is quite positive.
Just one week after the signing of the contract, Ci Shiping came to the locker room.
Ban inch head, a circle of beard, came in wearing a pair of slightly old headphones, coupled with that slightly vicissitudes of the cheek, this really does not correspond to the protagonist of Auburn Hills Palace.
He's 34 years old this year, and it's the end of his career for a body-defensive player.
After saying hello to the team members, he hummed softly while holding his headphones.
Judging from the content, it should be rap or the like.
"Hey, Ron."
Little Rivers went up and patted Ci Shiping's shoulder to say hello.
After Ci Shiping took off the headset, he went on to say, "You have been using this headset for too long, you should change it."
"Boy, your dad didn't teach you how to talk to people? This is a Beats.By.Dr.Dre custom headset, not something you think is worthless ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Also call me charity, I'm not Luo Yep."
Ci Shiping spoke a little rudely, and Little Rivers returned with a gray face.
Others in the locker room also heard Ci Shiping's way of speaking, all frowned slightly. Obviously, this way of speaking was a little different from the Pelicans.
However, Tang Tian couldn't help but smile after listening.
Ci Shiping changed his name to be older, but still the most aggressive player.
But the way Rivers just said hello was not very appropriate.
"Don, do you like rap?"
When he laughed, Ci Shiping took the initiative to put down his headphones, then moved his stool to Tang Tian, ​​and asked with a smile.
This Pelicans, he knew Tang Tian, ​​the Lakers and Spurs played in the Western Conference semifinals last year, they are the opponent. Remember the website URL, www. biquxu. Com, easy to read next time, or enter "" on Baidu, you can enter this site
