Chapter 409: Lakers ...... (1st Update)

The offer of a restricted free agent is not only about the relationship between the team and the team, but also about being involved as a player.

In other words, Tang Tian must choose one of these teams to sign a contract first, and then see if the Spurs choose a match.

If the Spurs match, then he is still a member of the Spurs, and if the Spurs give up the match, then he will go to the team he picked.

So it's not just a matter of choosing one to finish, but really having to think about it carefully.

"Dan, you can contact these teams and talk about my conditions, I want to be the core of their team, or at least one of the cores."

Tang Tian said directly to Fagan.

"Are you sure? So a lot of teams will quit. ”

Tang Tian hadn't said this idea to Fagan before, and Fagan immediately opened his mouth to remind him when he heard it.

"I knew that if I couldn't be the core of the team, I might as well sign a one-year contract with the Spurs and then stay for another two years while Duncan retired."

Tang Tian didn't need to hide it from Fagan, and directly said his thoughts.

Fagan nodded, yes.

If he can't be the core of the team, he really doesn't even have the need to be offered a contract.

Anyway, they are all role players, and the Spurs are the best fit for him.

But it's true that you have to wait two years to stay with the Spurs, not only because Duncan hasn't retired, but now Ginobili can still play, and Parker is at his peak.

Popovich can give Tang Tian the biggest shot as a role player, but it's hard to say that he can replace Ginobili or even Parker as the team's first or second choice.

Like Leonard at the beginning, it takes time to replace the old with the new.

Tang Tian said to Fagan that the meaning is also very clear, if you can go to the core team, you can go, if you can't, you will stay with the Spurs for two years.

In the following day, Fagan contacted these teams one after another, and soon had an answer.

None of the teams exited......

Although the Lakers are still in good shape, the age is there, and it will be three or four years away from retirement at most.

And maybe they didn't want to listen to Tang Tian at all, they were bent on getting Tang Tian to strengthen the flanks and continue to impact the championship.

Not to mention the Rockets, with Yao Ming's precedent, they were willing to spend money on Jeremy Lin before, as long as Tang Tian is willing to go, the contract is not a problem.

The remaining five teams.

The Bobcat is rushing to play Tang Tian and Walker as a dual-core.

The eagles are now in the rebuilding period, and they can catch one by one.

Nowitzki is getting older, and he needs a successor.

The Knights, after James left, it was a mess, and it was completely a full-scale netting approach.

This result was somewhat unexpected by Tang Tian, and it seemed that he had underestimated his market value a little.

But it makes sense.

The Spurs are a military powerhouse, and with a mediocre population, the basketball market is limited.

Duncan, for example, is estimated to be a whole slice of fame in Los Angeles.

The fact that the rocket was able to develop the Chinese market in Houston has a lot to do with this external condition.

Now that Tang Tian moved somewhere, it was possible to achieve the next Alexander, and they naturally flocked to it.

"Let them quote a four-year poison contract."

Tang Tian couldn't really meet with the seven teams, so he had to use all the conditions before the meeting.

A three-year contract, after he won a bunch of accolades last season, there is a high probability that he will grit his teeth and accept it.

With a maximum salary for a year, you can still get over it by gritting your teeth.

But four years is different, four years is basically to establish him as the core.

Tang Tian did this, which was tantamount to forcing the team.

The free market is very realistic.

It would be a mistake to leave you to fend for yourself after playing a two-year cheap contract, as the Rockets did with Jeremy Lin at the beginning.

After all, it's one thing for a player to have quality, and it's another thing for the team to give a chance to perform.

And the annual salary is the biggest determining factor.

And he is a time-traveler, knowing that four years later, in 2017, the league will introduce a clause called the "Designated Veteran Clause".

The NBA maximum salary is related to the number of years a player has played, and under normal circumstances, only players who have played for 10 years can get a super cap salary of 35% of the starting salary.

But in that clause, instead of having to wait for 10 years in the NBA, the team can designate a player to get that contract.

That's the biggest contract he can get.

So the timing is just right.

Fei Gen immediately did it after listening to what Tang Tian said, and he really admired Tang Tian's courage now.

These conditions, I'm really not afraid that those teams don't want him.

This time, after asking a circle, sure enough, a team withdrew.

The first to quit was the Cavaliers.

The Cavaliers are now taking one step at a time, and they are a bunch of young people waiting to be fed.

Irving needless to say, Thompson and Bennett are all young talents, and they don't want to lock up the future space because of Tang Tian.

It was quite gratifying to see the knight withdraw from Tang Tian.

He still has a lot of respect for James, after all, he is the first person in the league.

This has already won two championships for the Spurs, and if it finally blocks James's retreat, it will be really too ruthless.

Immediately following the exit were the Eagles.

They think about the same thing as the Cavaliers.

The last to quit was the Bobcat.

There was something strange about the Bobcat exiting.

However, according to insiders, in the end, it was Boss Qiao who felt that Tang Tian was not worth cultivating as a core.

In this way, there are only five teams left for Tang Tian to meet next.

Lakers, Rockets, Pelicans, Mavericks, and parent Spurs.

Tang Tian arranged the order from less to more according to his intentions.

Lakers, Mavericks, Rockets, Pelicans, Spurs.

If the Lakers weren't forced to, Tang Tian wouldn't want to go.

On the one hand, Kobe Bryant is not injured now, and he doesn't know how old he will be.

He didn't think that Kobe Bryant All-Star passed a few balls to him, so he was willing to give up the position of the team's leader.

Both Kobe Bryant and Jordan are people of the same character.

Not to mention Howard and Los Angeles, which has the highest state tax in the country.

The Mavericks have always had good Chinese players, but two years ago in the league, he was really disgusted by the racism over there.

Then there are the Rockets and Pelicans, which are his favorite next homes.

As for the Pelicans, although Davis is a little cute, there is really a lack of swingmen over there, and Gordon and Holiday are not superstars.

As for the Rockets, there are already many Chinese fans, and it will be easier for him to go to the market to develop, and as for Harden, it is not bad for him to be the second leader in the future.

Because the Spurs were the parent team, he was put to the end.

After making a plan, Tang Tian asked Fagan to arrange a meeting plan.

The location was chosen in New York.

But just as he was about to meet with the Lakers, Fagan told him that something was unexpected.

The Lakers, temporarily withdrew.
