"What's the matter?"

Tang Tian stopped, turned around and asked.

"I have something to tell you."

Davis finished speaking and glanced at Walker.

Tang Tian looked at him with the eyes that he should have wanted to communicate with himself alone.

After saying hello to Walker, Tang Tian asked him to wait for him in the car first.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

When Walker left, Tang Tian then asked.

"I want you to teach me how to win." Davis spoke.

"Huh?"

Tang Tian looked at Davis suspiciously, and the sentence that suddenly came out was a bit clueless.

He waited for Davis to say the following, but the latter didn't do anything more than stare at him.

This...... Is it a recruitment?

Tang Tian reacted a little.

It's just this awkward atmosphere......

If the Pelicans really sent him to recruit, then the person who manages the team should have his head caught in the door.

However, Davis's thick eyebrows and big eyes in front of him are quite cute.

"Are you asking me to go to the Pelicans?"

Tang Tian took the initiative to say.

"Yes, Mr. Demps asked me for my opinion and he asked me if I would like to play with you, and I would love to, you're a championship member and you have a super big heart, we're going to be a good fit."

Davis spoke.

Tang Tian nodded.

"You agree?"

Davis was overjoyed.

Burst!

Tang Tian almost vomited blood.

I nodded to let you continue!

You don't want to be so cute, okay!

"You go on."

Tang Tian opened his mouth and said.

Davis only reacted when he heard what Tang Tian said.

"Coach Williams is also very willing to coach you, and he has played under Popovich and says that he will be very compatible with you."

Monty Williams also played under Popovich? This is the first time I've heard of it.

Davis saw that Tang Tian hadn't reacted yet, and then continued.

"We're rebuilding and you're going to get more opportunities than the Spurs, and here you have a chance to be an All-Star."

When Davis said this, Tang Tian couldn't help but scratch his forehead.

I'm already an All-Star starter, brother!

Your lobbying skills are really poor.

"Anything else?"

Tang Tian saw Davis stop and asked.

"I'm done."

Davis shook his head.

"The Pelicans asked you to come?"

Tang Tian then asked.

"No, I'm on the draft with Nolens today, and I happened to see you when I came out just now."

Davis shook his head and said.

Tang Tian nodded after listening.

It's okay to come by yourself, that's just Davis is a little cute, it's not that Pelican management is really stupid.

"I'm still a member of the Spurs team and I'm a restricted free agent when they make a qualification offer, so I'll wait until the team contacts me later, it's about my future career, so I can't give you an answer."

Afraid that Davis would misunderstand what he meant again, Tang Tian continued to speak.

And he probably knew Davis's ability to understand, so he put it bluntly.

"Okay, then I'm waiting to join us with you, I've been training with Eric."

Davis continued.

Tang Tian nodded, signaling that he knew.

After a few more small talks, Davis went back to the arena first.

Looking at Davis's tall and thin back, Tang Tian suddenly felt that today was a new acquaintance with Davis.

However, Davis's words also made him realize that in the next period of time, he probably won't be able to stop, and he won't be able to train properly.

"What did he say?"

Back in the car, Walker asked curiously.

"What else can you say, worship me, come and get to know me."

Tang Tian said with a smile.

He didn't tell Walker the truth, because he was afraid that Walker would start recruiting him again.

The Spurs haven't made a qualification offer to him yet, and he's still theoretically a Spurs player right now, so he doesn't want to talk about these topics too soon.

The draft is on June 28, and there are only three days left before the official start of free agency on July 1.

After dealing with the draft, the management of each team is finally free to prepare for the upcoming free agent market.

The next day, Tang Tian received a call from Fagan early in the morning, saying that he had come to San Antonio and had received a qualification offer from the Spurs.

A one-year qualification offer contract of 1.08 million, from this moment on, he officially became a restricted free agent.

The so-called qualification offer is a one-year guarantee contract issued by the parent team to the player.

The amount of the contract is related to the length of the team, whether the rookie contract has been fulfilled, and the number of years.

But it's basically 125% of the previous year's salary or the league base salary + $200,000.

After the offer, the player will officially become a restricted free agent, and the parent team will also have the player's priority matchmaking rights.

For Tang Tian, now the Spurs are willing, no matter what contract he negotiates with other teams, he will eventually stay with the Spurs.

At the same time as sending this text message to Tang Tian, Fagan also told him that several teams had contacted him as soon as possible.

The new 2011 collective bargaining agreement provides for NBA free agency and team contact.

"A free agent can negotiate with a team at any time during the July freeze, and after the July freeze ends, they can sign a formal contract with any team."

The rules are clearly written that teams are not allowed to negotiate with players until the freeze period begins at 0:00 on July 1.

But for teams, words are always their way to play.

The so-called negotiation is a difficult word to define.

The bottom line of the league is that as long as there are no negotiations between NBA teams and free agents about contract details and the like, it is not out of bounds.

So it's very common for teams to have consecutive fagan at this time, and it's not even a violation.

It's like.

"Hey, Dan, I'm going to have a party, you and Don come along."

Another example.

"Hey, Dan, we're interested in signing Don, let's not talk about contracts, let's talk about ideals and the future."

Something like that.

There's no way you're going to know what they're doing anyway, so the Alliance can't manage it if they want to.

This is also the reason why there are clearly regulations, but at 0:00 on July 1, a large number of verbal signings will be revealed for the first time.

Tang Tian met Fagan in the apartment, and Fagan also gave Tang Tian a list of teams that had contacted him.

Lakers, Rockets, Bobcats, Pelicans, Hawks, Mavericks, Cavaliers.

There are a total of 7 teams, four of which were rumored during the regular season last year, and the remaining three are new.

Of course, this is certainly not the whole story, and the poison contract requires salary space.

Some teams, such as the Clippers and the Heat, who have been beaten by him and have psychological shadows, probably want to get him, but there is no salary space.

It's hard to think about how hard a deal can be flipped, and they don't risk it without being committed.
