Chapter 147: Signing with the Spurs (1/10, ask for the first order!) )

After getting off the plane, Tang Tian and Fagan went out from the airport together.

Fagan has previously agreed with Spurs general manager R. Buford to sign a rookie contract in the office today.

Tang Tian also took out his mobile phone to call Kawhi Leonard and Corey Joseph, and before leaving for New York, he had already contacted the two of them, who were also rookies on the team this year, through Fagan, and made an appointment to report together.

Both men left the airport on the phone.

"Godfather! Godfather! ”

But what they didn't expect was that there were dozens of Spurs fans outside the airport who came to greet them.

Fagan took the phone to the side and continued to call, while Tang Tian said hello to Joseph and hung up the phone, and then walked towards the fans.

Because of the relationship between the "godfather", he is probably the most popular No. 31 rookie, and this kind of battle is really unprecedented.

There were even a few reporters in the crowd, which really fits his identity as Don not a low-key Spurs rookie.

Tang Tian knew that these fans must have waited for a long time, and after passing over, he cooperated with them to take photos and sign autographs, and also accepted a brief interview with the local media.

Fagan waited for about ten minutes before the two of them turned around and got into the taxi.

"You don't have to waste your time on this." After getting into the taxi, Fagan spoke.

"I know what I know." Tang Tian didn't say much, he knew the importance of fans when he was a coach in his previous life.

The driver recognized Tang Tian and chatted with him with a smile while driving, and Tang Tian also responded with a smile.

Fagan watched helplessly, this was probably the most patient rookie he had ever seen, and it didn't match his age at all.

In more than half an hour, the car arrived at the home of the Spurs; ap; ap; ap; ap; ap; ap; In the center of the arena, they got off the bus and waited at the door for a while, and only after Leonard and Joseph came over did they enter the arena together.

Leonard looked as expressionless as he did when he was naa, and he looked like he was not going in, but it was Joseph, a rookie from Canada, who was very talkative, and pulled Tang Tian to talk about the naa period.

"If we had won against the University of Texas, maybe we would have played you in the Western Conference finals, Kewai, and you and Don played in the tournament, and all three of us were in the Western Conference, and this was really fate...... "Joseph only played for a year in the NAA, at the University of Texas.

The University of Texas is the No. 3 seed in the West this year, and before UConn, it was a pity that it was upset by the University of Texas when it was 32 into 16, otherwise the three of them are really opponents who have played against each other, from opponents to teammates, and it is really fate as Joseph said.

Tang Tian smiled and patted Joseph on the shoulder, while Leonard was still expressionless.

"Kawai, be happy, we're going to be part of the Spurs right away, it's a great team." Seeing his expression, Joseph smiled and spoke.

Leonard glanced at Joseph, still expressionless, and then turned his head away.

Joseph smiled a little awkwardly, and then continued to chat with Tang Tian, and didn't bother to find himself bored anymore.

Tang Tian also glanced at Leonard at this time, and he didn't know what this kid had gone through, and he would be such a character.

A group of people had already entered the arena while talking, and a staff member came over to guide them in the direction of the office.

Entering the office, the team's general manager, R. Buford, was already inside, but to their surprise, the team's head coach Vicky was also inside, sitting by the window, and looked up when he saw them come in.

Fagan and the others went to say hello to Buford, and Tang Tian greeted Joseph and went over to say hello to Vicky.

"Old man, do you want to drink red wine tonight?" Tang Tian said with a smile.

Vicky laughed out loud after hearing this, Tang Tian was really the most interesting rookie he had ever seen.

Joseph looked at Tang Tian with some surprise on the side, originally he thought he was talkative enough, but he didn't expect Tang Tian to be fiercer than him.

"Drink red wine another day, sign the contract today, and I'll take you to get acquainted with the stadium after signing." Vicky said with a smile.

"It's hard work, old man."

Tang Tian said and beckoned Joseph to sit down.

Vicky smiled and looked at Leonard, who was silent behind him, with a strange look flashing in his eyes.

Tang Tian is enthusiastic, but Leonard looks as cold as ice, and the rookie style selected by the team this year is really a bit bad.

Leonard and Joseph were both first-round picks, and both had fixed contracts, and they signed them quickly after the agent was confirmed.

Tang Tian is more special as a second-round show, and his contract has multiple situations and has to be discussed.

Vicky first took Leonard and Joseph to familiarize themselves with the arena, leaving Fagan and Buford in the office, and the two sat down and began to negotiate.

Tang Tian sat on the side and listened.

Buford has shown the Spurs' sincerity by offering a fully guaranteed four-year contract like his first-round pick.

However, Fagan insisted on signing a one-year guarantee contract, and the two sides were very different.

The negotiations lasted more than half an hour, and in the end, Buford changed the full four-year guarantee to a three-year guarantee, but Fagan still insisted on a one-year contract, even if it was not guaranteed.

It seems to be just a change in the contract period, and it seems to be a breezy conversation, but in fact, it is the same as a real fight on the battlefield.

NBA contracts are complex, and only professional agents and general managers can negotiate them.

Take the simplest number of years as an example, a four-year full guarantee contract represents four years of child labor, and the last two years are still a team option, three years, according to the league rules, Tang Tian's bird rights can be retained, and two years at least there is an early bird right and Arenas clause, but one year is nothing.

Buford frowned at Tang Tian at the end, to be honest, he really didn't want to deal with Fagan.

Tang Tian smiled and looked at Buford without speaking, it was obvious that he meant that this kind of thing was only handled by the agent.

The negotiations could not be held, and at this point Vicky returned to his office.

Buford saw Vicky come in and cast a helpless look at him.

Although Buford was the general manager, he was only promoted in '02, and for eight years before that, the team's general manager was Vicky.

Vicky went over and sat down and asked about the differences in the negotiations.

At the end, he also glanced at Tang Tian, and after seeing the latter's expression, he turned his head and communicated with Buford for a while, and finally made a decision.

"A two-year guaranteed contract."

It's clear that what Vicky is giving is the limit that the Spurs can tolerate, and they can't afford to spend a year developing a rookie.

Tang Tian got up and sat down beside Fagan at this time, which was a code signal between the two.

Fagan nodded in agreement.

A one-year contract is what Tang Tian wants most, because the shorter the years, the shorter the time he will spend as a child laborer, but he also knows that the Spurs will probably not agree, so two years is completely acceptable to him, and he also asked for it before the Heat promised the draft.
