The Godfather of Basketball

The Cavaliers Championship Parade was very successful, and fans from almost the entire city came to the streets to cheer for the team.

Tang Tian also gave a wonderful speech outside the loan stadium.

"We have won consecutive titles, but the two championships are far from the limit of the city."

Tang Tian's last words made all the fans on the scene boiling.

When others say this sentence, it may also cause some doubts, and even think that it is bragging, but Tang Tian ’s words, enter the nba five-year five championship, and the Cavaliers have the Big Three, no one thinks There is nothing wrong with this.

Dynasty, right in front of you!

After the championship parade ended, Tang Tian called James alone to the office.

When he returned from the airport, he felt that James was in a wrong mood, and he was even a little distracted when he won the championship.

"LeBron, look at you a little sullenly, did you do your best at the bar last night?" Tang Tian said with a smile.

"No, just did not sleep last night, a little tired." James squeezed a smile.

"That's good, I thought you were not happy that you didn't get fmvp." Tang Tian continued.

James froze for a moment.

Seeing the change in James's expression, Tang Tian knew that he was still in the middle.

"You know my personality, if you have any requirements, you can also tell me directly, if you don't say anything, it is easy to misunderstand." Tang Tian opened the door.

James looked at Tang Tian's expression, hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "I need a bigger role."

Tang Tian smiled.

This is somewhat of an expectation. What James wants is nothing more than honor, which helps to enhance his commercial value.

"You know what I said to everyone on the team. This team's playing time is won by the performance of the court. The meaning of those words is to treat them equally, so I can't give you such a promise."

James' expression stiffened and experienced so many coaches, Tang Tian was the least face-saving he had ever seen.

"Did you feel your growth this time in the finals?" Tang Tiancha started off.

James nodded and went through a series of things last season. He did feel that he was gradually maturing.

Even, he feels that now he has reached a peak that has never been reached before.

"Since you feel that you have become stronger, what are you worried about next season's role? No confidence? Do I have to give you a promise?" Tang Tian said with a smile.

As a coach, prestige is a key point.

He told the players that the team's playing time needs to be won with performance. He is the same with Jeremy Lin, the same with Iverson, and even the same with Paul and Yao Ming, so even James cannot open a special case.

But also as he said, James went through the playoffs last season and became stronger and more mature.

He has no reason not to give James a bigger role.

To be more straightforward, Yao Ming is getting older and older. To avoid injuries, it is an inevitable trend to reduce playing time.

Not to mention James's initiative, he will take the initiative to increase his role.

"I see." James said, but his expression made people wonder if it really understood.

"You have to believe me, and you have to believe in yourself too." Tang Tian finally said.

James said nothing more.

This time the intermittent dialogue ended, and Tang Tian temporarily put aside James' affairs.

A few days later it was the nba draft, and he had to focus on this one.

The time was fast, and it turned to the eve of the draft. After completing all the rookie data reports and preparations, Tang Tian took Jones, Casey, Dante and Scout Victor together on a plane to New York.

Unlike previous years, because Madison Square Garden needs to be renovated, this year ’s draft will not be held there, but at the Newark Prudential Center in New Jersey across the river.

The Cavaliers have a total of 3 draft picks this year, with the 3rd round pick, the 56th round pick, and the 6th round pick.

Before going out, Tang Tian had asked Dante to try to trade some second-round picks, but unlike last year, other teams basically rejected the Cavaliers' proposal.

In other words, the current Cavaliers have made them feel enough pressure, they do not want this team to become stronger at all.

Given Tang Tian's vision in the past draft, they were not even willing to trade to the Cavaliers for the second round.

So this is all their draft picks.

"What happened to our upward draft picks?" Tang Tian turned to look at Jones.

"No progress yet." Jones said with a wry smile.

"If it doesn't work, just use our next year's draft picks as chips, or let the other party directly propose a trading plan."

"Is Butler worth such a big price?" Butler did impress Jones a lot during that day's training, but if he used 2 rounds, he still felt that it was too expensive ~ www.mtlnovel. com ~ worth it. "Tang Tian gave an affirmative answer.

"Then I will contact when I get off the plane." Jones nodded.

Now that Tang Tian has spoken, he will do as he pleases.

"By the way, the labor-management agreement expired this year, and the negotiation of the new agreement does not seem to be smooth. There is a high probability that there will be a lockout. The last lockout was 13 years ago." Jones said, he also experienced The original lockout.

Tang Tian did not speak.

He knew about the nba shutdown in 2o11, and now it seems that history has not skipped this paragraph.

If it is shut down, it will have a great impact on the signing of the team.

In fact, in the previous life, because of the impact of the lockout, there was not much movement in the free market that year.

The good news is that the Cavaliers lineup is relatively stable.

The same is the best thing.

After Jones got off the plane, he continued to contact the general managers of the teams, but the results were still not satisfactory.

Even those general managers are reluctant to give the Cavaliers a quotation.

This is what Tang Tian has never encountered in the draft.

But this is what the public enemy of the alliance will enjoy.

On June 24th, US time, the NBA Draft opened at the Prudential Center Stadium in New Jersey.

Although the place has been changed, the layout and design of the arena are not much different from the previous years.

Tang Tian and his team also entered their draft cabin.

At this time in the previous life, James had left the Cavaliers for a year, and Gilbert's son God had drawn the No. 1 pick.

But now that the situation has changed, the top pick naturally cannot belong to the Cavaliers, but belongs to the Clippers.
