The Godfather of Basketball

Tang Tian watched the entire live broadcast, and he was furious like never before.

Except for the conversation during the offseason and the occasional conversation with Rich Paul, James and his team have never had any negotiations with the Cavaliers management, but now, they have unilaterally done it. Decide.

Even, using the so-called "benefits for the Cavaliers" as an excuse to put pressure on the Cavaliers.

Look, I have already thought about you so much, asking you to trade me to the team you want to go to, isn't it too much?

James went to the Heat, and the Cavaliers got immediate combat power and potential rookies, and even a first-round pick. Both sides are happy!

Moreover, in the case of stating that they will only go to the Heat, other teams know that the forced trade is only the right to use for half a season in the past, and the bargaining chips they can give must not be comparable to the Heat.

Regardless of morality or interest, James' team has forced the Cavaliers to a point where they have no choice.

Whether you like it or not, you have to trade me to the Heat.

"Hey! Hey!"

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

In came the team's deputy general manager, Keith Jones.

Seeing Tang Tian's never-before-seen angry expression, Jones somewhat understood it.

When Tang Tian was recruited, James went with Gilbert. In the past two years, whether it was letting the coaching staff do shooting training specifically for James, or going to Houston to invite Olajuwon to teach James Backing up, even including those words in last year's finals that encouraged James to grow step by step, and at the last moment he won FMVP votes for James and so on.

Tang Tian was actually very partial to James, but he didn't expect to get such a result in the end.

Even James, the person involved, never appeared from the beginning to the end, nor did he make any voice for this matter.

"What's the matter?" Tang Tian suppressed his anger and asked Jones, who had been silent all this time.

"After the press conference, most of the teams withdrew their offers. Only the Heat and the Suns kept their original offers, and three other teams made new offers, all here."

Jones didn't say too much, he knew very well that talking more at this time was equivalent to hitting himself in the muzzle.

Tang Tian nodded.

After Jones put down the report, he went straight out of the office.

Tang Tian took a deep breath and looked up.

The Heat offered two options:

Option 1: Beasley (15.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, 47% shooting, contract 6.26 million) + Mike Miller (10.5 points, 41% three-point shooting, 5 million contract) + Tristan Thompson (2011 The No. 4 pick in the year, averaging 7 points, 7 rebounds and 51% shooting, contract 3.73 million) + 2012 first-round pick + 2014 first-round pick.

Plan 2: Darko Milicic (4.3 points, 3.2 rebounds, 4 million) + Mike Miller + Thompson + 2012 Timberwolves first-round pick + 2012 Heat first-round pick + 2014 Heat first-round pick.

Option one is a direct deal, and option two is a three-party, Beasley in exchange for an expiring contract and a first-round pick.

The chips are actually not bad.

Both Beasley and Thompson are potential rookies, and Miller is also the immediate combat power that the Cavaliers have pursued, let alone a bunch of first-rounders.

Suns: Vince Carter (13.2 points and 3.2 rebounds, contract 18.3 million, expiring contract) + Markieff Morris (7.4 points and 4.4 rebounds, No. 13 rookie in the first round of this season) + 2012 first-round pick + 2013 Second-round draft pick.

On the premise that it has been known that James must go to the Heat, the bargaining chip the Suns keep is considered very sincere.

Cole seems to be very confident in keeping James and wants to take a gamble.

In addition to the Heat and the Suns, the Wizards, Magic and Hornets all gave chips.

However, those chips that are clearly robbery also show that they have little interest in trading for James.

After all, the right to use it for half a year is not so attractive.

Tang Tian looked at this report for nearly an afternoon.

Gilbert should have also watched the press conference of the James team. He hasn't called or come to him yet, which shows that he really does not intend or let the board of directors intervene in this matter as he said before.

Tang Tian has the final choice.

The Heat, or the Suns, or whatever, or choose not to trade.

Everything is up to him.

He didn't rush to make a decision, put the report in his briefcase, and drove home in his Maybach.

The car left the suburbs and went up the mountain. When he was approaching the door of his house, he parked the car on the side of the road and knocked on the door of Rich Paul's house.

He really wants to beat that guy up now.

The door was opened by a white man with a pot belly and a cute little girl. After asking, I found out that they had just moved here. Rich Paul had sold the house a few days ago, and moved out in less than two days up.

It seems that this guy is also afraid of being beaten.

Tang Tian drove in, and the bodyguard at the door greeted him.

At this moment, he saw that guy Yingjuan, standing on the highest point of the guardrail like a watchman, looking forward to see through, looking a little bleak.

Well, this guy is a lovelorn.

He parked the car, asked the bodyguard to drive to the garage, and walked over to pick up the guy.

"Aww! Aww!"

Ying Duan let out a cry of protest, and finally resigned to his fate when he couldn't break free.

Well, it seems that it needs to find a female cat.

Although it is inevitable to cut eggs, at least he should let him have a good time before that, raise a few children or something.

Entering the living room, he saw Hathaway rubbing something there.

He was going to Paris to attend a fashion show before, and he was expected to arrive in the evening, but he did not expect it to be earlier.

"Why did you come back so early? I was going to pick you up by car." Tang Tian put aside his work and walked over with a smile.

"You're back? The fashion show ended early, and I got back on a flight earlier." Hathaway turned around with a smile.

At this moment, Tang Tian saw what she was holding in her hand, which was a handful of championship rings.

The three small ones belong to the Rockets and the two large ones belong to the Cavaliers.

Five years have passed since he joined the league in 2006, and he has already won five championship rings.

For him, it's a five-peat.

"You keep them in the room. If there is dust, I'll take it out and wipe it." Seeing Tang Tian's eyes, Hathaway said with a smile.

Tang Tian nodded.

After the rings were wiped, they looked even more dazzling.

Five championships in five years, in terms of personal achievements and abilities alone, he is the only championship harvester in NBA history.

It is even said that he may be a more important cornerstone of team building than NBA superstars.

No one can compare.

Tang Tian walked over and put all the wiped rings on his right hand, the whole hand was stretched directly.

"You are the greatest coach." Hathaway said with a smile at this time.

"Yes, I am." Tang Tian nodded.

At this moment, he already had a decision in his heart.

ps: A novel is a novel, reality is reality, there are deviations in character design, don't get too entangled, and eggplant writes a book without bragging or black, just for the plot to look better.
