Besides those high-profile trades, teams like the Wizards, Celtics, and Heat also made some minor moves to clear salary cap space.
Just as the earlier rumors had indicated, they had begun preparing for next summer.
The Trade Deadline had come to an end, but there were still one or two days before each team's next game.
During that day's training session, the Pelicans players said goodbye to Morrow.
However, Stephenson still needed to undergo a physical, so they would not see him until after tomorrow night's game.
After training that day, three new messages appeared on Tang Tian's phone.
They were all related to money.
One was the final year of his Burts Bees endorsement deal. The 2 million endorsement fee came to nearly 1.2 million after taxes.
One was from Durex. The 7 million endorsement fee came to around 4.2 million after taxes.
The other was his share of Nike shoe sales: 25 million, or nearly 15 million after taxes.
Last summer, Nike had already released the second-generation Godfather Series shoes. Their quality and materials were better than before, and the price had nearly doubled.
Yet sales had only risen, never fallen.
With the Pelicans holding the League First record this season and Tang Tian suppressing Curry in the MVP race, just like in the All-Star voting results, Tang Tian's global influence had reached a phenomenal level.
After receiving the two payments, Tang Tian opened the system interface.
Back in August of last year, he had spent 10 million recharge points to buy the Triple Threat, leaving 1.5 million in the system.
But afterward, he had received Coca-Cola's 3.6 million endorsement fee and BMW's 10 million endorsement fee, totaling roughly 8.2 million after taxes.
Altogether, that came to around 30 million recharge points.
And that was just enough to
