The news that the Spurs gave up matching the Pelicans' offer contract also brought a significant impact on the free market signings.

Originally, the Spurs, who had completed consecutive championships, were the biggest imaginary enemy of all teams, but with Tang Tian's departure and the decline in the Spurs' strength, the reinforcement actions of the major powerhouses have accelerated.

The Heat re-signed "Bird" Anderson, who performed well in the playoffs, and signed Hoodian Blair, a championship member of last season's Spurs, and former No. 2 pick Michael Beasley from the free market.

The Lakers used their full mid-level exception to sign Brandon Wright, formerly of the Mavericks, to a two-year, $10 million fully guaranteed contract, signed the unwanted isolation king Nick Young for the veteran's minimum, and re-signed Livingston, who performed well last season, to a one-plus-one veteran's minimum contract with a player option.

The Thunder let go of Kevin Martin, who performed poorly in last season's playoffs, and instead signed veteran Caron Butler.

Of course, for the Thunder, such a signing is not a big deal. More importantly, several young players on the team, Reggie Jackson and Jeremy Lamb, have grown up.

And they also selected two very talented rookies through the Rockets' draft picks, Steven Adams and Andre Roberson.

Cultivating players and selling draft picks, and then continuing to wait for rookies to grow, this is the consistent operational thinking of the Thunder's management.

Tang Tian's departure became a butterfly effect, and the new season will be another scene of vying for supremacy, which also makes fans full of expectations.

But as the free agent market neared its end, a tweet from Durant once again detonated social media.

"Traitor."

There was only one word, but it didn't specify who it was.

This also caused fans to talk about it.

The first to be suspected was Iguodala.

Because Iguodala had just officially signed the four-year, $48 million big contract he had previously reached with the Warriors.

After just leading the team to create the best record in team history, he chose to join the opponent after being upset and defeated, which is definitely worthy of the word traitor.

For a time, Iguodala's personal Twitter was full of fans spraying, and the words were so intense that they were almost greeting his mother.

Following the evaluation of Tang Tian as a system player after the Finals, Durant has become a Twitter bellwether.

Iguodala couldn't stand the fans' scolding, and revealed his original intention to join the Warriors in an interview with ESPN.

"If I hadn't encountered this kind of (being scolded) situation, I wouldn't have chosen to make this matter public, but it has reached the point where it has to be said."

Iguodala's expression was very serious during the interview.

"During the playoffs last year, that team had no way to deal with Stephen (Curry) at all. The head coach at the time, George Karl, wanted us to use some non-basketball methods to deal with Stephen. I'm not that kind of person, so I refused and reminded Stephen."

"So when the season ended, I had already decided not to play for that kind of coach or that kind of team anymore. Joining the Warriors was a very difficult decision. I knew I would encounter some negative comments, but I didn't expect it to be so big, especially Durant. I used to respect him very much."

"This is the league. Sometimes we can't help ourselves, but sometimes we will meet people who like each other. Stephen and I used to be enemies, but now we are friends."

…

Iguodala's explanation caused a wave of heated discussion among fans. It turned out that he was not surrendering to the enemy, but turning enemies into friends.

At this time, Durant also came out to refute the rumors.

"I'm not talking about Andre Iguodala."

As soon as this tweet was sent out, a group of fans realized that they had... mistakenly injured someone?

But there's no one else besides Iguodala, is there?

This Durant's tweet is really itchy. You must know that the two most painful things in the world, the first is to say half of what you want to say.

But after excluding Iguodala, someone quickly found a new answer.

And this time it is a 100% accurate answer.

Tang Tian!

Because of all the entanglements in the past two seasons, the person Durant loves to attack the most is Tang Tian!

"This four-year contract is just something the Spurs can't afford. When Tang agreed to the Pelicans' offer contract, he didn't think about staying!"

"Yes, the Spurs have cultivated him for two years, and he hasn't left anything for the Spurs now. From fan to hater!"

"Just watch, Tang will definitely not be able to make it in the Pelicans, he has ruined his great future in vain!"

"It's normal for young people to be a little impatient, but I'm really afraid that they don't know their limits. What Godfather is all a lie!"

"I don't know why, but I think Durant is a little handsome now. Will I be very excited to see Tang play poorly? Is this a disease?"

…

Compared with the rhythm of system players that Durant brought up before, this time the rhythm of traitor is even fiercer than before, and it has the meaning of drowning Tang Tian with saliva.

And after experiencing these two waves of rhythm, the image of Tang, the Spurs rookie who is not low-key, has disappeared, replaced by Tang, who does not know his limits.

Although there are also Godfather fans who are arguing for Tang Tian, ​​more fans are still attacking Tang Tian for making this choice.

"These guys are crazy!"

After training this day, Walker swiped these messages on Twitter and couldn't help but feel injustice for Tang Tian.

"Those people are just too idle during the offseason."

Irving also complained.

"Tang, you have to respond!"

Thompson also persuaded Tang Tian at this time.

The friendship between the brothers who worked hard is still very strong.

"Just ignore them, it's better to play well next season than to argue with them now."

Tang Tian didn't find it strange at all about the reaction of these fans.

It would be strange if there was no such reaction with Durant setting the pace.

His choice to go to the Pelicans at the same time was equivalent to giving up big city teams like the Lakers and Rockets, plus Clippers and Heat fans who already resented him, the number of fans added together was terrifying.

Fans love to do things like kicking someone when they're down.

So just like he said, instead of arguing with these people about things that are impossible to come to fruition, it's better to spend more time training.

When he performs well next season, these people will naturally shut up.

Walker and Thompson were silent when they heard Tang Tian say this.

But at this moment, Walker noticed that Butler was typing frantically on his phone with a grim expression.

He walked over and saw that he had already tweeted his support for Tang Tian at the first time, and he was now arguing with fans.

Walker waved to Tang Tian, ​​and Tang Tian came over and saw it too.

But he didn't say anything. Butler had a good intention. If he persuaded him, it would make Butler feel uncomfortable.

"Kobe tweeted to support you!"

"fxck! Stern also tweeted!"

Tang Tian was watching here, and Irving suddenly cursed.
