The Godfather of Basketball

After notifying the Cavaliers management, Tang Tian chatted with the team's core players, including Paul, Yao Ming, Carter and Butler...

He didn't say much, but also gave his players the best wishes.

Just like when he left the Rockets, these players he recruited and trained are the most reluctant part of him.

But now that he has chosen, with his personality, he will only move forward.

After doing all this, he immediately announced on Twitter that he would seek new challenges, would not renew his contract with the Cavaliers, and his next home is temporarily undecided.

As soon as this news came out, the entire league was blown up.

After the Cavaliers traded away James this season, they let Tang Tian go?

What the hell kind of operation is this?

The Cavaliers management did not speak up, or Gilbert refused to speak up.

Although Tang Tian didn't mention it, Gilbert knew it in his heart, and then asked the person in charge of monitoring, basically he had a certain number.

After all, it was his fault.

At the beginning, I couldn't resist going to James to talk about the possibility of returning, and I was going to turn my hands into a bamboo basket to fetch water in vain. Such a result can only be regarded as my own fault.

Therefore, the two sides tacitly say that a peaceful breakup is the best choice.

"Thank you for your hard work." Sitting on the plane to Los Angeles, Tang Tian looked at Swift and Hathaway slightly apologetically.

In order to avoid possible fan harassment, he had already had his family's belongings packed to the airport, consigned to a temporarily rented apartment in Los Angeles, and then left Cleveland with his family a little later.

There is not much reluctance to leave. Although he did not take the initiative, he started a new challenge and gave him new expectations.

It's just that the two women who have suffered for me have just gotten used to living in Cleveland, and then they have to run around with me again.

"Fool, what is hard work? We will be where you are." Hathaway said with a smile. He knew that it was not Tang Tian's intention to leave the knight. At this time, as a woman, what she needs to do is positive encouragement .

"Yeah, it's not where or the house that matters, it's you," Swift followed suit.

Tang Tian smiled after hearing this, and sure enough he chose the right woman.

The Cavaliers management has been silent, which quickly angered the fans.

They used to hate James for leaving voluntarily, and now they also hate Tang Tian's choice.

Even doubled, after all, James was also traded out by Tang Tian.

Radical fans began to burn Tang Tian's photos, and some people even gathered outside the rich area to protest.

Cleveland fell into commotion because of Tang Tian's departure.

Seeing that the situation was getting worse and worse, Gilbert also knew that if the trouble continued, the truth of the matter would probably be revealed, so he took the initiative to stand up and speak out.

"Don brought the first and second NBA championships to this city in history. He doesn't owe the city anything. After the contract expires, the coach has his own choice. We do this , is trampling on the honor he won for this city in the past, and is also breaking our moral bottom line, we cannot."

Although some high-sounding, but this is a perfect public relations.

Sure enough, after Gilbert happened, more fans chose to stand up and speak out.

It was not the best choice for Tang Tian to choose to come to the Cavaliers, but he still came and fulfilled his promise, bringing the city three consecutive championships.

He really doesn't owe Cleveland anything, the Cleveland fans owe him.

More and more people stood up and spoke out, and slowly, the behavior of those irrational fans was suppressed.

Although the fans regretted Tang Tian's departure, they gradually calmed down.

After all, life goes on, and Tang Tian's departure did not take his coaching staff with him.

This also means that Casey and Cassell will continue to serve in the Cavaliers, and the core of last season's championship lineup is still there. The Cavaliers are still enjoying the wealth that Tang Tian brought them.

Even after Tang Tian left for a week, the fans who came back to their senses began to raise funds after obtaining the consent of the arena, and planned to build a statue of Tang Tian outside the arena to commemorate the dynasty he brought to the city glory.

What happened was so miraculous, the result may not even have occurred to Tang Tian himself.

But Tang Tian didn't have time to take care of these things at the moment. In his apartment in Los Angeles, people came to visit him basically every day.

Although he issued a statement saying that he would not renew the contract with the Cavaliers, he did not say where the next team will go. This is equivalent to saying that the other 29 teams in the league have a chance.

Before July 1, the team management cannot contact free agents, but it did not say that it cannot contact the coach.

The draft is only three days away, and they know Tang Tian's vision for the draft, and they are eager to let Tang Tian enter the team immediately.

"Don, Rick Weltz said he wanted to see you," Jones said on the phone.

Jones' contract expired with Tang Tian, ​​and Tang Tian chose to leave, so he also chose to stay with him, and he was still acting as Tang Tian's assistant at the moment.

"Come again?" Tang Tian couldn't help pressing his forehead. This was the third time that old man Wertz had come within a week.

"Let him come back tomorrow, I'm going to rest today." Tang Tian looked at the time and it was already 8 o'clock in the evening, and the old man was not sleepy.

"He said he was already at the door of your apartment." Jones said helplessly.

Well, it's not easy for others to take a trip.

After hanging up the phone, Tang Tian asked the servant to go downstairs to open the door.

During this period of time, except for the Suns, Cavaliers, Heat, Rockets, Bulls, and Celtics, no one came. The remaining 24 teams all came, and some did not come next time, such as Wirtz .

"Rick, didn't I say that I would notify you as soon as I made a decision? Why are you here again?" Tang Tian didn't have the time to respect the old and love the young right now, and looked at the watch on his hand while talking. .

"I'm sorry, but I'm really worried that you have already negotiated with other teams, so I can't help but come over." Wirz smiled.

Well, he couldn't say anything more.

"Warriors..."

Then, another half hour of small talk.

Tang Tian knew very well about the situation of the Warriors. If he was told by Wirtz so many times, he would be able to recite it out of script just like the teacher asked him to be in the text when he was a child.

The Warriors have Curry. Although he only played 26 games last season due to a serious ankle injury, Wirtz assured that Curry is completely OK, and the team just extended a four-year, $44 million contract with him.

Speaking of it, Curry is also an unlucky boy, who was seriously injured in the contract year, otherwise, based on his performance in the past four years, the maximum salary cannot be escaped.

The Warriors also have Thompson, who proved what a good off-ball shooter he is last season.

They also have David Lee, a big killer inside.

They also have the No. 7 pick this year.

...

Looking at the eloquent Wirtz, Tang Tian really wanted to say something.

"Okay, teacher, I really wrote it down."
