The Godfather of Basketball

Barnes stood there motionless.

Tang Tian's words were very tempting, but besides the temptation, he also felt a kind of domineering.

Come on, I guarantee you many champions.

You come, I am not afraid of you causing trouble.

It was a word he had never heard in his career.

Perhaps, only Tang Tian dared to say that.

He wanted to talk about loyalty, but at this time he admitted that he didn't want to talk about it.

"I'm going to make a phone call."

Barnes said, took his mobile phone and went to the bathroom.

"He went to find his agent?" Dante said after Barnes left.

"No, he went to call Bass." Tang Tian said lightly.

Not long after, Barnes returned.

His hands were a little wet, probably because he had washed them before he came out.

"I've already told Buss that I'm not going to the Lakers anymore, I'm going to the Cavaliers in the new season." Barnes said with a smile.

"Welcome." Tang Tian stretched out his hand.

Barnes bent down and shook Tang Tian with his washed hands.

After sitting down, he signed the contract.

With Barnes' matter settled, the Cavaliers finally took another step forward in their summer signings.

Barnes and Artest have similar functions and can play the third and fourth positions, which will greatly deepen the team's lineup depth.

And players with this personality will greatly enhance the team's toughness on the court.

This is Tang Tian's favorite place.

After signing Barnes, the Cavaliers' lineup has come to 13 people, because both Artest and Barnes can swing to the fourth position, now except for the relatively weak position of shooting guard, the lineup is basically complete .

Back in Cleveland, Tang Tian had a phone call with Cassel, who was leading the team to play the summer league in Las Vegas.

Judging from Cassell's feedback, Stephenson is the best player among the three rookies. He has a strong offensive power and a great sense of teamwork. After a few games, he is the unshakeable core.

This is similar to the Lance in Tang Tian's previous life impression. Although the skills still need to be polished, that kind of temperament is innate.

Jeremy Lin and Whiteside also have their own bright spots. The former has a sharp breakthrough, and the latter has blocked shots against the sky. This performance is worthy of their ranking.

After hanging up the phone, Tang Tian was preparing to sort out the tactics manual for the new season when Dante knocked on the door and came in.

"Have you got someone to help you with the matter of Barnes' residence?" Seeing Dante coming in, Tang Tian asked, this was what he specifically asked Dante to do after he came back.

"It's done." Dante nodded, and then stood aside.

Then Tang Tian saw an acquaintance.

Rasheed Wallace.

Because of his outstanding performance in the playoffs last season, "Roaring Tianzun" has a high market in the free market. The Knicks even offered him a two-year contract of 16 million yuan, but I don't know why he didn't sign it for a long time.

Seeing Wallace here now, Tang Tian was quite surprised.

"Rashid said he wanted to talk to you," Dante continued.

Tang Tian nodded.

Dante went out, turned and closed the door behind him.

"Coach." Wallace smiled, walked to the desk and sat down.

"Rashid? You didn't go to New York?"

"Yes, I'm not going to New York. I've thought about it. I'm going to stay in Cleveland for the new season. Of course, if you still want me." Wallace said with a smile.

Tang Tian was taken aback for a moment.

"I know the current salary situation of the Cavaliers, so I can accept the offer of the basic salary."

When Wallace said this, Tang Tian was completely stunned.

Doesn't it seem right?

"I don't quite understand. The Knicks' contract is at least four or five times higher than the basic salary?" Tang Tian really didn't understand Wallace's thoughts.

"I have earned enough money. I entered the league in 1995, and it has been 15 years now. I am really approaching retirement age. I was very happy in the Cavaliers last season. Is this it?"

Wallace's explanation was odd, but it didn't seem wrong.

In 15 years, his salary has exceeded 150 million, he has two championship rings, and he has no regrets in his career.

It might be true that all he wanted right now was to be happy.

People's pursuits are different.

Of course, there may be another point, because Wallace has used honor points on Wallace before, and Wallace has a sense of closeness to him as the head coach.

But no matter what the reason is, it is definitely a good thing that Wallace can stay with a basic salary.

Both Anderson and Frye are still very young, and Wallace stayed to train them, and by the way, they will work hard in the playoffs, which are very useful.

One year salary.

After signing Wallace, the Cavaliers' lineup is basically complete.

Point guard: Chris Paul, Beverley, Jeremy Lin

Shooting guards: Danny Green, Lance Stephenson

Small forwards: James, Artest, Matt Barnes

Power forwards: Ryan Anderson, Frye, Rasheed Wallace

Centers: Yao Ming, Kwame Brown, Whiteside

As for the shooting guard, if there is no injury, Green and Stephenson are enough.

Anyway, there are still nearly two months before the start of the season. At that time, some undrafted picks will be signed to supplement the lineup. Playing the preseason should not be a problem.

The team lineup was basically settled, and Tang Tian could finally relax for himself.

After all, after the finals, he still hadn't had time to take a rest.

Let Casey and Cassel be in charge of rookie training, and he also gave himself a week off.

At this time, the post-production of "Super Body" has almost been completed, and it is scheduled to be released in summer on July 21.

Because of Tang Tian's stepping stone, after a while of operation, it will be released simultaneously in China.

In 2010, the domestic film market was relatively average. Generally, overseas films were released one to two months later. On the one hand, it was related to the reluctance of film investors to enter the Chinese market, and on the other hand, it was also related to the protection of domestic films by radio and television. There are relationships.

But money can turn ghosts around, and there can be exceptions to everything.

After living a shameless life with Hathaway and Swift for a few days, on the day of the premiere, Tang Tian also took them to the scene.

This is the first time that Tangtian Company has led an investment film, and it is also the first time that the company logo has appeared in a film, so market feedback is very important.

And because he provided the script at the beginning, Luc Besson insisted on not being a screenwriter.

So in the movie, in addition to being a cameo, his name also appeared in the opening credits.

Screenwriter and actor: Tang Tian.

This compulsion rises immediately.

On the day of the Los Angeles premiere, the audience was a little confused when they saw the name.

When it entered the feature film and Tang Tian appeared in the camera, the scene immediately became agitated.

The head coach who crosses the border has also crossed two terms at once, which is awesome!
