The Godfather of Basketball

Gilbert glanced at Tang Tian and didn't speak immediately.

Deron + Jefferson Jr. = Irving + 10 million **** contracts.

Irving took it easy, his transaction value was declining, and he was able to get Delong, which is more capable, along with talented rookies and able to dispose of a junk contract.

The Nets' chips are not low, and they are reasonable.

"We need time to think about it," Gilbert said finally.

Tang Tian nodded.

After all, Irving is involved, and it is unlikely that such a thing will be done right away.

However, from Gilbert's perspective, the possibility of a deal is not small.

After the talks ended, the Nets were waiting for a response from the Cavaliers while preparing to meet Hayward.

During this period, big and small things followed.

The Las Vegas Summer League has begun. The Nets' four rookies are playing together. In the first game against the Hornets, they beat the opponents 97-71.

Mitchell hit explosive data, scored 34 points and 8 steals, and gave the rookie first point guard Munch a hiccup.

Although it is only a summer league, the eyes of the outside world are focused on this rookie.

After all, the 13th pick is the shooting guard.

In the second game against the 76ers, Mitchell truce, and Markkanen ushered in an explosion. He scored 25 points and 12 rebounds, led the team to 87-86 Lectra opponents, Kuzma also had 20 points.

The Nets are the Big Three in the summer league.

Even the slightly inferior Dillon Brooks averaged 12 points, 7 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block in both games.

The four rookies showed their bravery, and they suddenly reminded fans of Tang Tian's abnormal draft vision. The Nets will explode even if they are not strengthened in the new season.

Chinese players Zhou Qi and Ding Yanyu Hang also performed brilliantly in the summer league. The former showed 20 points and 5 rebounds, and the latter showed 10 points and 5 rebounds.

The summer league is playing, and the free agent market is still lively.

When the Cavaliers considered the Nets offer, the Celtics also sent their offer to the Cavaliers.

Much like the past life, Thomas + Jay Crowder and his first round of 2018.

Because they did not reach the playoffs, Thomas Jr. and Crowd are not as valuable as in previous lives. Compared with the Nets, this chip is more valuable in the first round of 2018.

The Cavaliers are still listening to the quotes from all parties, and are not in a hurry to make a decision. There are bidders and they are not in a hurry to take a shot.

At the same time, Hayward also completed meetings with the Jazz, Celtics and the Heat.

The response of the three teams was very good. Like Durant last year, no one knew where Hayward would go before the final decision was made.

The Nets were the last to meet Hayward, Tang Tian personally launched, and his chicken soup coaching properties started.

"You will be one of the cores of this team. The Nets have a young core lineup. You, Butler, Booker and Jokic, the peak of the four will be together. This is the only one that can truly compete with the Warriors. And the team that is fighting for the championship. "

After the talks, Hayward showed interest in joining the Nets.

The talks with the Nets ended, and Hayward ended all his meetings with the team.

The next day, he spoke through his agent and he will join the Celtics in the new season.

After considering a series of situations, he still hopes to reunite with the college mentor to help the mentor revive the Celtics together.

Last year, Durant and Hayward this year, Tang Tian felt that he should look at the yellow calendar. This is really a bad time.

The failure to recruit Hayward also made the Nets' reinforcements in the free market fall into a trap.

The remaining forward lines in the free market are all second-rate.

The situation is not good for the Nets. Tang Tian also let Jones to communicate with the Cavaliers.

Soon, new progress was made in communication.

Because the Celtics signed Hayward, plus the original Bradley, Claude and other high-quality role players, coupled with a number of high-quality rookies led by Jaylen Brown and Tatum, Kay The Celtics are very promising for the playoffs in the new season, but this also means that their first round pick in 2018 has become worthless.

Coupled with the Cavaliers do not want to set up a new rival, they tend to trade with the Nets.

The two sides sat back at the negotiating table again.

This time is different from the last time, the Cavaliers basically want to trade with the Nets, and the Nets also anxious to win Irving after signing Hayward failed.

For both parties, the sincerity of this meeting is obviously better than the first.

"Our deal proposal, Irvinga jr Smith, get Delonga Jefferson, plus Kuzma you chose this year." Altman gave a new proposal.

"Jr Smith's contract is too long, and we won't take over. Iman Shumpert's contract is ok and just pays the salary."

"The contract for Deron Williams will also be long."

"We can try to convince him to sign a 4-year contract."

"With a 4-year contract, he can sign as much as other teams. Why have to sign the Nets?"

"He signed with the Nets to get more money."

"Did you not say that you would try to persuade Delong to cut his salary?"

...

Jones and Altman argued against each other that although they both want to close the deal, no one wants to take more risks in the transaction.

Both Gilbert and Tang Tian haven't spoken ~ www.readwn.com ~ Seeing the situation stalemate, Tang Tian finally spoke.

"We can accept Jr Smith's contract, but we will not send Kuzma." Tang Tian said.

JR Smith's contract is still three years old, a well-known junk contract in the past, but really speaking, his annual salary is only about 13 million, and it is not a problem for the Nets to eat it.

If you really can't handle it, Tang Tian still has the system in it. As long as you adjust the stability of jr, it is a good contract.

His proposal was regarded as a compromise between the two sides.

Gilbert saw when Tang Tian spoke, and when he knew he was good, he closed it and said, "We can have another second-round draft pick next year, and you have one more Dillon Brooks."

The meaning of Gilbert's sentence has been relatively obvious, and basically agreed with the transaction. As for the supplements, there are only some minor conditions.

"Don, Dillon is a very talented rookie," Jones reminded at this moment.

Tang Tian waved his hand to signal that he knew.

"We will not send out Dillon, but we can provide an additional second round." Tang Tian continued.

"I agree." Gilbert made the final decision and stood up and reached out his hand.

A second-round show that is okay in the summer league itself is just a small additional condition. The Nets are willing to play in the second round, and he does not need to worry about the details.

The two team owners shook hands, and the deal was formally concluded.

Also the day after the second meeting between the two teams, woj broke the news of the deal.

The Nets and Deron signed a contract with a starting salary of 30 million and a five-year, 160 million contract, and then sent him to Randy Hollis Jefferson, a second-round draft pick in 2018, and got Kai Lee Owen and JR Smith.
