This time of year is also a time when trading rumors are frequent.

The players have a rare All-Star weekend break, but the general managers are the busiest at this time.

Demps asked Tang Tian Lance Stephenson, the implication of this sentence is also obvious, is to ask if you want to trade him.

Stephenson is a second-round pick. He played in the Pacers and became an all-round guard. He has received the most triple-doubles (5) in the league in the 1-14 season.

But later, because of disagreement with the Pacers on renewal salary, he eventually left Charlotte, and then moved to multiple teams.

He eventually went to the Clippers in a three-person deal involving Paul last summer.

Stephenson's personal strength is there, which has been proven during the Pacers, but his personality is a big problem.

In other words, he is JaVale McGee on the guard line.

He doesn't have the same lack of attention that McKee has, but he always does something inexplicable on the court and even hurts the team.

During the Pacers, he had untied his opponent's shoelaces during free throws, and even performed such acts as blowing into James' ear.

It's very clueless, it's justified, and it's even a headache for the team.

The Clippers' head coach is Rivers, and he obviously doesn't like such players.

He holds an annual salary of 9 million this season, but averages only 15 minutes per game.

Not only can't be ranked after Pierce and Redick, even Wesley Johnson has been squeezed out of the rotation before the All-Star game.

The Clippers put him on the shelf as expected.

As for the Pelicans, Morrow has been in a slump this season.

Even in the absence of Ariza and Tang Tian, ​​he failed to seize the opportunity, being traded is a matter of course.

In other words, Stephenson and Morrow are now performing standard junk contracts.

It's no surprise that the garbage contract is exchanged for the garbage contract.

Morrow originally signed a 9 million year contract with the Pelicans, this is the second year, that is, he still has a 6 million guarantee contract.

Stephenson originally signed a 27.5 million contract with the Hornets, which is also the second year, but because the third year is a team option, in fact there is still a 9 million guarantee contract.

6 million for 9 million, the Pelicans need to send a special deal, the Clippers may catch a second round, this is what the two sides are currently negotiating.

Cousins ​​is an angel and a demon, and Stephenson's situation is similar, so this is why Demps sought Tang Tian's opinion.

"What are their opinions about Brad and Mike?"

Tang Tian did not immediately give an opinion, but asked what the coaching staff meant.

In fact, he is more enthusiastic about signing a contract, but he doesn't want to participate too much in the transaction.

Because he is now a player, he has a deeper understanding of the feeling that players are being traded.

"Brad supports the change, and Mike is optimistic about the deal. He said Stephenson will be a big help in the playoffs."

Morrow's slump is not a day or two. Stevens did a lot of work on and off the court, but the situation has not changed.

As for what Brown said, it makes sense. Although Stephenson sometimes has a bad mind, he is very **** the field and is a mental player like Green.

"My opinion is the same as the coaching staff."

Tang Tian finally said.

Management wanted to change, and the coaching staff agreed, and he had no reason to object.

And Brown's words reminded him that if the Pelicans really had a chance to reach the finals, then Stephenson will play a greater role.

After making a phone call with Demps, Tang Tian went on teasing his two sons.

This time at the All-Star weekend, he mainly came to play with his two sons. This cannot be changed.

The second day of the All-Star weekend is a single event.

The shooting star was cancelled, but the rest of the individual events were retained.

It is worth mentioning that Isaiah Thomas left Toronto yesterday for personal emergencies, and Dinwiddie temporarily replaced him.

Tang Tian and Olson took their two sons to the Canadian Airlines Centre Gymnasium.

Yesterday's celebrity games and rookie games were held in the deputy hall. This is also the first time they have brought their son to the media.

They also attracted the attention of many media reporters.

At the beginning of the skill challenge, Ding Weidi got up and greeted Tang Tian in the front row.

This year's Skills Challenge is reformed again, and for the first time in this tournament, a big man has appeared.

Cousins, Draymond Green, Anthony Davis, and Downs became the first big men to participate.

And Beverly, Dinwiddie, J. McLumham and Jordan Clarkson make up a small group.

There is a one-to-one pk in each of the sub-groups, and the final pk is finally won by the respective champions to determine the final champion.

Xiao Hua has been committed to various reforms since taking office, turning the tricks to attract the attention of fans.

Many of these reforms have proved to be useless or even negative, but some reforms have worked.

For example, the skill challenge, this project was never considered to be related to big men, but with the advent of the era of small balls, such a showdown became possible.

And fans are also looking forward to the scene of big and small players competing.

The large and small subgroups alternate in order, starting with Jokic and Green, followed by Beverly and Dinwiddie, and so on.

In the end, after fighting within the team, Downs defeated Davis and Green and became the big men's champion.

The result of the small group was surprising. Dinwiddy defeated Beverly in the first round and defeated McClem in the second round, standing out from the small group.

His kill has a lot of luck in it, but luck is also part of his strength.

The final finals started between Downs and Dinwiddie, cheers continued on the spot, and the big and small people they looked forward to finally arrived.

The whistle sounded and the game started. Ding Weidi took advantage of the speed, passed obstacles and passed the ball in one go, and quickly dropped Downs.

But by the end of the sprint, Downs was striding to catch up.

The last three-pointer ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ Ding Weidi missed the first shot, and Downs completed the reversal after picking up the ball and killed in one shot.

In the end, Downs defeated Dinwiddie and won the skill challenge.

This is also the first time a big player has won this single event.

There was endless cheering at the scene. Before the game, no one expected that the big man would win.

This makes them pay more attention to the future of this event.

"Towns, look, Downs has won!"

Olson waved his brother Downs' hand aloud.

When Tang Tian heard this for a moment, he couldn't help laughing.

When he was named, he didn't pay much attention. Now think about it, Downs and Downs on the field made a sound.

Can this be regarded as his son turning to win the championship 2 months after he was born?
