The Godfather of Basketball

After sending Wirtz away, Tang Tian turned off the phone directly, and told the servant not to open the door again, and then went to sleep with his arms around Hathaway.

He's only 28 years old, and he's in his prime, so he won't let him have time to rest.

...

Waking up the next day, Tang Tian turned on his cell phone, a series of missed calls and text messages.

He muted his phone and put it aside, walked to the desk, and took out the small book.

He basically wrote out the situation of each team by hand, so that he will be more impressed when he chooses.

Among the 24 teams, he basically played circles on his previous intentions.

Warriors: In fact, Wirtz doesn't come so many times, he also knows that this is a good place, child labor Curry, rookie Thompson, and Green who is sure to be selected, plus Bogut who was traded last season, and David Lee, the lineup is basically complete, as long as minor repairs are made, the dynasty is the lower limit, and 8 consecutive championships is the goal.

Knicks: The Knicks are located in New York, even more prosperous than Los Angeles. A favorable contender for the championship, Woodson in his previous life even brought the Knicks to the second place in the East this season. If he goes there, it will definitely not be worse than this, and the team in New York is the most profitable. He can also try to start the owner plan there .

Spurs: The old man said as before, as long as he goes, the old man will seize the opportunity to retire. For the Spurs, Leonard is already in the team. Although GDP looks old, he knows exactly how long this team with the "21" rookie can last. If he goes, the core lineup will also be formed. It's also just a small fix.

Mavericks: Cuban only sneaked in once, and he trusted Carlisle, but obviously didn't want to pass up such an opportunity. Two years ago, the only championship of the Mavericks was snatched away. Nowitzki's reputation in the United States is still as bad as before. He is a representative of softness. Tang Tian always feels a little indebted. If it's just the Mavericks, it's really hell The mode has started, and there is nothing but Nowitzki, and the key point is that Dallas has high taxes, and many free agents are unwilling to come.

Lakers: Old Buss is now in the hospital bed, and the matter is basically handed over to his son Jim Buss. Jr. Buss is already dissatisfied with his sister's boyfriend Phil Jackson. The Lakers have been defeated for several seasons. , it's time for a change. For the Lakers, it’s more chaotic, but Kobe is still there, and there is a high probability that this season will form the Big Four of Howard, Gasol, Kobe, and Nash. In the previous life, the Big Four collapsed due to injuries, but he has a system. It will be a problem. It is still very exciting to think about coaching the Big Four, and the Bass family's assets are actually not much, so he has a chance to replace them.

Clippers: The situation of the Clippers is just the opposite of that of the Lakers. They have always wanted to rise, but they can't get up. The main reason is that their strength and background are not good, so their requirements for Tang Tian are the most urgent. The Clippers got Jordan last year, and the original Irving and Griffin were also the youth version of the Big Three. They fought well, and I remember correctly that the former boss Sterling was forced to sell the team because of racial discrimination. Sometimes he can seamlessly access.

Thunder: The Thunder made it to the finals last season, relying on pure talent, as long as a little tactical design, they can easily win the championship in theory. Deliberately, purely to find challenges for myself.

Basically, these 7 teams are all he has intentions.

Other teams that came to him were either too small or unattractive, and were basically ruled out.

Now there are 2 days left before the draft, which means that he will have to make a decision tomorrow at the latest.

It's not an easy decision, but let's narrow it down first.

After he thought it over, he talked to Jones when he narrowed down the scope, and let him do it when he called one by one.

After finishing the phone call with Jones, he then wrote down a few requests he wanted.

After experiencing the Cavaliers, he hopes that the owner of the new team will not interfere with the team's affairs. This is very important. After two experiences, he never wants to leave because of conflicts with the owner.

Based on this basis, the Knicks and the Lakers can be ruled out. Whether it is Dolan or the Bass family, they interfere a lot with the team. This seems to be a common problem of big city owners.

Changing teams in three years, sewing and mending for another three years, and changing two teams in the past six years, he is also a little tired of this feeling, and the three consecutive championships are not too tempting for him. The goal this time is to win 8 consecutive championships, so he basically needs a relatively young core.

In this way, the Spurs and Mavericks are ruled out.

For the rest, there are only three teams: Warriors, Thunder, and Clippers.

When writing here, Tang Tian's pen was moving back and forth, but he never made a final decision.

This decision is actually very difficult, otherwise he wouldn't have struggled for so long.

"Mr. Tang, someone has been waiting at the door for a long time. He probably didn't ring the doorbell because he was afraid of disturbing your rest." The servant came up and said.

"Is that the old man from yesterday again?" Tang Tian was really annoyed by Wirtz.

"No, it's a man in his sixties, younger than the one yesterday, and he drives a Rolls-Royce. I've never seen that car before."

After listening to the servant's introduction, Tang Tian then stood up.

Generally, even the president of the first team should not have the money to afford a Rolls-Royce, let alone a servant who has never seen it. This is probably the owner of a team who came here in person.

He went downstairs and opened the door.

A Rolls-Royce Phantom was parked outside. Seeing him coming out, the driver immediately got out of the car and opened the rear door.

A man got off the car with a smile on his face, but Tang Tian didn't recognize him.

To be honest, even in his previous life, there were very few reports about the bosses of NBA teams, and it was impossible for him to have seen all of them.

Moreover, many NBA teams are not controlled by a single person. Many of them are also consortiums. Each person holds different shares, and it may be any one of them.

If you say famous people like Bass, Cuban, and Dolan, he can have a little impression. Even if you tell him the name of others, he won't know who they are unless they wait for the other party to introduce themselves.

The visitor was dressed in casual attire, with a Chinese character face and short cut head, with a slightly fat head and big ears. If you met him on the road, you would definitely not think that he would be the owner of a team.
