A Trade Delivered to Their Doorstep (Third Update!)

Tang Tian saw the scene from the Draft Room.

With Embiid, Nowitzki, Booker, Carlisle, and plenty of salary cap space, they were going to rise next season.

His transmigration had changed many things. Even the competition had changed along with it.

The Warriors, Rockets, Spurs, Clippers, Grizzlies, and Mavericks—the Western Conference would become even more fiercely competitive in the new season.

Especially in the Southwest Division, where the three Texas teams, the Grizzlies, and the Pelicans were all gathered. It truly would be a division of death next season.

The draft continued. The Lottery Picks were selected one after another, but Bobby Portis, whom the Pelicans liked, was still in the Green Room.

It looked like they had a real chance.

Before they knew it, the draft had reached the 23rd pick. That pick had been traded to the Wizards, and Woj had already reported that the Wizards were interested in Portis.

"We have a trade."

At that moment, Dempsey put down the phone and spoke to Tang Tian.

"The Wizards?"

Tang Tian asked.

If they could reach a deal, they could snatch Portis at the last second.

"No, it concerns Eric."

To Tang Tian's surprise, Dempsey was talking about Gordon.

He frowned slightly. It seemed Portis was gone, so they could only look elsewhere among the remaining prospects.

"The Nets proposed it. They want to use a sign-and-trade, offering Thaddeus Young and this year's 45th Draft Pick for Gordon."

Young's contract with the Nets had expired this season, making him a Free agent. The Nets were trying to get something for nothing.

Gordon
