The news came unexpectedly.

Tang Tian didn't even believe it at first.

After all, Kobe Bryant had invited him to join the Lakers before.

But after Fagan explained the situation, he immediately understood.

It turned out that Howard was in a mood.

He felt that the Lakers were not focusing on him, and he was also worried about his next contract after the team signed Tang Tian.

So he put pressure on the Lakers through his agent, and if he signed Tang Tian with a big contract, he would sign with another team.

In this case, even Kobe Bryant's wishes will not work.

Compared to Tang Tian, Howard is obviously more important to them.

This is a real pig teammate.

But after understanding, Tang Tian thought it was good.

The Lakers were the last thing he wanted to go, but now that he has made such a fuss, he will be embarrassed to refuse Kobe Bryant at that time.

On the afternoon of the 30th, Tang Tian had a meeting with the management of the Mavericks.

The Mavericks are leading the team this time around, Mark Cuban, and the team's general manager, Donnie Nelson, and their assistants.

Cuban has been the team's number one fan since he bought the team in 2000, and he will naturally not be absent from this occasion.

Donnie Nelson is a well-known Nelson Jr. to many Chinese fans, he is the son of Nelson Sr., and he also served as the chief consultant of the Chinese men's basketball team.

Cuban has a bold personality, and when he came up to Tang Tian, it was a big hug.

"Welcome to Dallas, man!"

This is a real cowboy character.

Little Nelson was even more polite to Tang Tian, and could even speak two sentences in Chinese.

I have to say that the lineup of the Mavericks is really humane.

"That Dirk guy can't come on vacation, but he told me that you are very welcome, oh, and your Chinese teammate Yi, and he praises you all the time."

Cuban spoke for his players, and it can be seen that he usually has a really good relationship with the team members.

'We're the most lacking in fronts, OJ [Mayo] didn't do as expected last season, Vince [Carter] and Shaun [Marion] are both older, so you really have a chance in our team.

And you also know that Dirk is getting older, the team needs a new core now, and you want exactly what we can give. ”

Nelson Jr. also made the team's situation very clear to Tang Tian.

Listening to the words of the two, Tang Tian was a little moved.

Such a good owner, such a cooperative general manager, plus the team atmosphere is no less than that of the Spurs.

Really, if it weren't for the market problems there, Tang Tian might have wanted to make a decision directly.

This meeting was very pleasant, and when parting, Kuban still took Tang Tian's arm and whispered.

"Our dressing room is the most luxurious in the league, I'm talking about the home team dressing room, you will definitely want to experience it, of course you want to go to a nightclub, I can also go with you."

"Uh...... Hehehe. ”

Tang Tian smiled politely, this Kuban really has something.

At the end of the first day of meeting, Tang Tian ranked the Mavericks in the first place in his heart.

Although the racism is a little uncomfortable, it is impossible for everything to go smoothly, and if he really becomes the core, the fans will not show it in front of him.

The first day of the meeting went well.

The next day, the last day of June, Tang Tian met with Team Rocket in the morning.

In addition to general manager Morey, the Rockets also came with an unexpected person from Tang Tian, Harden.

"Don't look at me with that look, I'd love to have you on the Rockets, and I really need your help, and I want to help this team get back to the top."

Harden's personality is still very good, and after seeing Tang Tian's surprised expression, he immediately said with a smile.

When he spoke, his beard trembled and trembled, which was quite cute.

"Yes, Don, we used to have Yao, and you're going to get respect in Houston that no other city can get, and we've got the biggest Chinatown in the country, and you're going to feel very comfortable living here."

Morey then began to lobby.

"And you can create an era with James, we have a great roster and we have very good salary space, we can even try to chase Dwight [Howard] and other big stars, we can play small ball, Chandler [Parsons] plays the number four position, we can play modern basketball."

I have to say that Morey's oral work is really good.

The Rocket team was originally intended to go by Tang Tian, and Morey listed all these benefits, which is indeed very good.

"Come here, you've got a championship and you need some challenge now."

When parting, Harden used another way to persuade Tang Tian.

Tang Tian smiled and nodded.

This meeting with Team Rocket is over, and Tang Tian is really entangled now.

The Mavericks management and team atmosphere are good, and the Rockets have a good market and team potential.

It's really a good thing for each to go, and for each to have a reason to go.

On the afternoon of the 31st, the last day of the official opening of the free market, Tang Tian met the Pelicans team at the café.

He and Fagan arrived a little late because of the traffic jam, but before they could say sorry, he was startled by the battle inside.

Pelicans head coach Monty Williams, general manager Dale Demps, player Davis, and an old man in his 80s, if you guess correctly, should be Tom Benson, the current owner of the Pelicans.

It's true, the whole family is out of action.

This scene is truly unprecedented.

Fagan was also surprised, the only signal sent by this kind of battle was that they attached great importance to Tang Tian, very much, extremely seriously.

Davis had met Tang Tian before, and he also introduced everyone to Tang Tian one by one at this time.

Tang Tian shook hands with them one by one.

"Don, we need you."

The first to speak was head coach Williams.

'Maybe other teams have told you about the benefits of their side in the past, but our attitude is completely different from theirs, we've been watching you for more than a year and we know you have the potential to be the heart of the team.

And as soon as Williams opened his mouth, he Tang Tian was very surprised, which was something that had not been said by several teams before.

"When you first came into the league, you were only shooting three-pointers, and your defense was only good, but you're improving almost every year, every day, and we can see the sweat behind your back, and the possibilities that exist."

As Williams spoke, Demps kept nodding his head, and Benson looked at Tang Tian with a smile.

Obviously, these weren't empty words, they really had been staring at him for a while.

"You've developed the ability to catch and shoot, you've developed the passing ability, you've developed the ability to block a lot, we can all see it, so we can tell you very clearly that we can also believe that you can develop the ability to play with the ball and be the outside core of the Pelicans."
