The Godfather of Basketball

"Landry Fields and Lance Stephenson, which one to choose?" Jones asked.

This is the option given by Tang Tian before.

"Talk about your opinions." Tang Tian said.

These two people are actually good rookies.

"I think Stephenson is more suitable. The team left Matthews and Louis Williams, especially Matthews. This was unexpected before. Stephenson's scoring impact is what we need."

"I think Fields is more suitable. His official height is 2.01 meters, he can swing the 2/3 positions, and has greater potential for training."

Casey and Cassell both gave their input.

Tang Tian then looked at Jones, his assistant.

"If I have to choose one, I think Stephenson is more suitable. I organized the team's previous trial training. That guy has an unyielding fighting spirit in his bones. Although he seems a bit extreme, he and Ron, and Bev It's the same," Jones said.

Tang Tian nodded.

For Lance, although he can basically only play one position, his desire to win is indeed very strong.

Those funny behaviors in the memory of the previous life are actually a manifestation of excessive desire to win.

"And, if the team renews Novak, there is actually no shortage of small forwards." Jones added.

Tang Tian nodded and said to Victor, "Then choose Lance."

Victor nodded, put the result in an envelope, and handed it to the staff waiting at the door.

Because the No. 57 pick has been sold before, only the last 50th pick is left.

"Gani Laver, Willie Warren, Ryan Reid, these are a few more suitable choices. They all performed well in college, and there shouldn't be much problem playing the third shooting guard." Victor He opened his mouth and introduced.

This is already the end of the second round, and the range of choices is already very small.

Everyone in the hut also looked at Tang Tian.

At this time, it is time to show the strength of real low-level Taobao.

"No, those players are far behind the NBA." Tang Tian shook his head.

This pick, in fact, even if it was the 50th to 60th pick in the previous life, there was no one who could play.

"We choose him, Jeremy Lin." Tang Tian took out a scouting report, which he bought from insiders of the Warriors.

Information can be sold for money, and it's the same in the NBA.

In addition to this report, he also learned that the Warriors and the Celtics are negotiating to buy the latter's 52nd overall pick to select Jeremy Lin.

This is why he traded the No. 57 pick. If the Warriors negotiate, he will not be able to select Jeremy Lin.

Not to mention going to find him in the undrafted draft according to the impression of the previous life.

"This Jeremy, he is from Harvard? Has Harvard ever had an NBA player?" Jones frowned slightly after reading it.

Everyone else shook their heads.

"This Lin confrontation is a big problem, and it is difficult to gain a foothold in the NBA." Casey said.

"And he has played four years in college, and at the age of 22, his potential is also a problem." Cassell also said.

"This Lin, his prediction is that he will lose the draft. According to my report, except for the Warriors with the largest number of Chinese who have the idea of ​​selecting him from the market, no other team has any. His strength is not enough to compete in the NBA." Victor Finally said.

With Tang Tian around, the people in the team would not say that there was racial discrimination or anything. They all analyzed Jeremy Lin from their own perspectives.

"This is my decision." Tang Tian said without doubt.

He is the general manager, of course he has the final say.

After Tang Tian showed his tough side, everyone else chose to shut up.

Victor wrote the choice and gave it to the staff.

As Tatum read out the Cavaliers' pick, there was a chorus of abuse from the Warriors' draft cabin next door.

"Okay, let's go."

After the draft was over, Tang Tian directly told the team members to withdraw.

After leaving the hut, Jones and the others also recovered, talking and laughing.

Regardless of the other draft picks, getting Paul is enough for all of them to laugh this offseason.

The draft came to an end, but because of Paul's deal, compared to the rookies, the Cavaliers have become the focus of everyone's heated discussions.

Paul and James are enough to overwhelm the East.

The Cavaliers are another faint dynasty team.

After some fans analyzed the salary space of the Cavaliers in more depth, they found that things are actually not that simple.

Because more than half of the team's contracts have expired, the Cavaliers now have relatively considerable salary space.

James has not officially renewed his contract, and Artest has not yet implemented his player option, and excluding rookies, the entire team actually only has 6 contracts.

Point guard: Chris Paul (14.94 million), Beverley (800,000)

Shooting guard: Danny Green (800,000)

Small Forward: None

Power Forward: Ryan Anderson (1.41 million)

Center: Kwame Brown (1.31 million), Frye (3 million)

These add up to only 22.26 million.

The salary cap for the 10-11 season is US$58 million. Considering that Artest can talk about contract renewal after the free market passes, it means that the Cavaliers still have 35.74 million in salary space.

James has played in the league for 7 seasons, and the maximum salary is 30% of the salary cap, which is 17.4 million US dollars.

In this way, even if James doesn't cut his salary, the Cavaliers still have room for $18.34 million, which is definitely enough to sign another player with a maximum salary who has played in the league for less than 9 years!

In this summer's free agent market, there are only a lot of free agents who agree with this condition: Joe Johnson, Wade, Bosh, Stoudemire, Boozer...

Even if the Cavaliers get rid of Frye's contract, this list can even be expanded to include all top-salary players in the league. After that, Tracy McGrady and Nowitzki are two more exciting names.

Don't think it's impossible, when the Cavaliers have Paul and James at the same time, everything becomes possible!

Now they don't feel that the Cavaliers have much leverage to get Paul.

It can even be seen from the vast number of expiring contracts and team player options that the Cavaliers have already arranged everything during the offseason of last season!

Think carefully!

Cavaliers, this is really going to do something!

Many fans even realized that Tang Tian's speech after winning the championship was really not pretentious.

The Cavaliers were really bad last season, and they are here for this season!

The general managers of some teams began to panic. Although they will not reach a verbal agreement until July 1, they have communicated quite frequently with the team's free agents privately.

It would be a terrifying thing for any of these superstars to be robbed by the Cavaliers.
