The Godfather of Basketball

Five minutes later, Tatum came out of the back again, announcing the Cavaliers' choice.

The Cavaliers chose Danny Green at this pick.

Green is a senior, 22 years old this year, and has limited potential, but as the captain of this year's NCAA champion North Carolina University, he has a solid playing style, has a certain immediate combat ability, and has the potential to become a qualified bench player.

However, Tang Tian ’s expectations for Green are much more than that. In previous lives, Green was the Spurs shooting guard and the “Imperial Arma”, a standard 3D player, and one of the most suitable players for James.

Of course, the premise is that it will be used. In fact, the previous life Green was also selected by the Cavaliers, but it was only after the Cavaliers were deserted for a year that they gradually showed their power to Popovich.

The 45th overall Timberwolves chose Nick Caraces, a 1.98 guard.

The 46th pick belongs to the Cavaliers themselves, and this pick Tang Tian hesitated for a while.

As he said before, this year is a year with a high percentage of second-round picks. At this time, there are three people worth choosing, Chase Budinger, AJ Price, and Patrick Mills.

The three have their own characteristics, Budinger has the rare explosive power of white players, Price is an NBA qualified backup point guard, and Mills is the most accurate of the three.

In the final balance, he chose Budinger.

Compared to the other two, Budinger's talent is better, even if he failed to stay in the Rockets in the end, trading is a good bargaining chip.

After all four selections were completed, Tang Tian was rewarded.

Because they have the right trading plan, they can now start preparing for withdrawal.

Packing and packing, just as they got up, Dante's cell phone rang, and he took a glance at Tang Tian with a surprised look.

When he hung up the phone, he said, "It's the Rockets' phone. They want to exchange cash for Budinger."

Hearing this news, Tang Tian then remembered that in his previous life, Budinger started with the Rockets.

"Don't sell!" He said without hesitation. This Morey was really thick-skinned, knowing that he had come to the Cavaliers for a thick-skinned exchange, and cash!

Dante was about to make a call. Tang Tian suddenly remembered something and shouted at him.

"If Morey called, tell him that if you want Budinger, use Yi Jianlian instead."

Dante stunned. Is this obviously unrealistic? Yi Jianlian is now the power forward of the championship team!

Tang Tian reached out to him and said yes.

Dante called, and soon he took the phone away from his ear.

When the call was confirmed, he smiled bitterly and said, "Morey is furious."

"That's it, withdraw." Tang Tian said with a smile.

You want to rob me, I don't mind disgusting you.

After coming out of the draft hut, Tang Tian had a face-to-face meeting with Thornton, Green and Budinger, and said some encouragement.

After the interview, Tang Tian did not rush to leave the scene, but sat in the front position of the scene.

"What are we doing?" Dante sat next to him with a puzzled look, and Tang Tian said in front of him that he would withdraw.

"Wait for the draft."

"..."

Dante didn't know what Tang Tian was going to do, but it wasn't long before the end of the draft, so wait.

About half an hour later, the last Heat selected Robert Dozier, and the 2009 NBA Draft officially ended.

The draft team of each team has already left at this time, and the staff have begun to withdraw.

Tang Tian also stood up at this time, but instead of going out, he went forward.

A few meters away from where he was, there was a bowed head sitting there.

The others went out, and he seemed a little lonely by himself.

When he approached, he could see that he was holding on to the stool, and had already fallen into it.

Obviously, this is a player, but he failed.

Dante saw Tang Tian stop behind this man and understood why he had to wait until the end.

This is to wait for a drop draft.

"Wesley." Tang Tian spoke out the man's name.

After hearing this, he raised his head, his eyes were red, not sad, but angry and unwilling.

"This is the general manager and head coach of the Cavaliers, Tang Tian." Dante responded quickly at this time, followed by an introduction.

Hearing this name, Matthews "chucked" and stood up from his seat.

Although he does not know Tang Tian as an NCAA player, as long as he is a person in basketball in the United States, he must know the name.

Three consecutive championships, the godfather of the dynasty, no one knows!

"Is there any interest in signing an unsecured contract with the Cavaliers, three years." Tang Tian said with a smile.

"Me?" Matthews was a little weird, but immediately burst into unprecedented desire.

At this time, let alone a non-guaranteed contract, that is, the training camp contract is already a gift to him.

Seeing Matthews' eyes, Tang Tian knew that things were done.

In fact, he was afraid that Matthews was too ambitious, like the one known in the past called K.J. McDaniels, knowing that he had the ability to sign a one-year contract.

Now it seems that he thinks too much.

"I'm optimistic about you." Tang Tian patted Matthew's shoulder with a smile, then turned back to signal Dante to follow up.

Matthews's expression became more and more excited. Being so affirmed by Tang Tian was the biggest encouragement for him.

This is really an instant from **** to heaven.

Back in Cleveland, Tang Tian asked Dante to handle the rookie contract, and then began to prepare for the formation of a team.

Because of his dual role, he has much more to consider.

Cole was a perfect candidate. It was okay to be the deputy general manager of the team. The first assistant coach was more than enough, but unfortunately he was the first to get on board.

Now I can only separate the two things ~ www.readwn.com ~ He still has some experience in the coaching staff. He asked the Cavaliers official staff to send him a league job.

There are only 30 positions in the NBA head coach. Many coaches will be fired and have a lot of fluidity. Just like he did in the interview, there will always be suitable candidates to qualify.

Even during the interview, other teaching assistants were able to get along.

Things in the coaching staff went smoothly, but the manager's team did not have much experience in this area.

But just then, he remembered the words that he exchanged with Thibodeau in the draft.

The Rockets' deputy general manager Jones seems to have been fired.

Jones has worked in the Rockets for more than ten years, and he must have extensive experience in this area, and he just knows what is going on.

He made a phone call with Thibodeau. He had to call Jones and made a call. After confirming that the other party was at home, he asked Dante to buy a ticket to Houston.
