Auden and Yi Jianlian are in the same class, the champion show in 07, he is even a little younger than Yi Jianlian, he was born in January 88, and he is only 27 years old now.

Originally hailed as a combination of Russell and Chamberlain, he played 82 games in five years with the Trail Blazers, another 23 with the Heat two years ago, and 120 games with the Nets last season, including 15 games with the Nets last season.

His future has been wiped out by injury, and while it's unrealistic to be a player at the level of Chamberlain and Russell, if it weren't for the injury, he'd certainly be more than that.

Now, he's ready to retire.

Auden played in Brooklyn for a year, and now he is still in Brooklyn, so Tang Tian went directly to the apartment where he lived.

"Are you willing to retire like this?" After Tang Tian entered the door, he got straight to the point.

Oden was a little confused, he was surprised by Tang Tian's visit, after all, he was just a basic salary player who had not redeemed his talent, and Tang Tian was the owner of the team.

was asked directly by Tang Tian, and he didn't know how to answer.

"Mr. Tang, I can't play with my knee anymore, I'm finished." After a long time, he said helplessly.

It's over, hearing such words, Tang Tian's mentality of knowing that Auden is really collapsed.

In fact, in such a situation, it is normal for anyone to have a collapsed mentality, and even if he can survive until now, Auden's psychological quality is already very good.

You must know the combination of Chamberlain and Russell, what people expected from him at the beginning, and what he expected of himself.

Falling from the clouds to the bottom and falling all the way down can be called psychological torture.

However, Auden's reaction gave Tang Tian confidence, which was different from Yao Ming's situation.

"Would you like to try Chinese medicine? I know that there is a Chinese medicine hall in Houston, and T-mac has also been there...... "Although it is a little rusty after so many years, Tang Tian still moved out of his usual routine.

"Chinese medicine?" Oden was visibly skeptical.

"You don't have any other way, do you? There's nothing to lose by trying before you give up. ”

Auden nodded.

Rushed to the doctor when he was sick, and had the same mentality as Maddie at the beginning.

The same plot, the same scene, the difference is that there is a different person around him.

The old Chinese medicine doctor is very proficient, and Tang Tian is also experienced in exchanging iron knees, and Auden almost collapsed on the spot with an excited expression, and the signing was a matter of course.

With Oden back in Brooklyn, the Nets' roster is almost finalized.

It was at this time that Jones brought him the latest trade information for Bojan Bogdanovic.

Because of his performance in the playoffs last season, Bojan's current market is only worth a second round, which is obviously not cost-effective, but it is Will Barton, and the Nuggets are very interested in him and are willing to pay the price of the first round for him.

Barton is an important rotation for the Nets, and he just signed a cheap contract, and Tang Tian doesn't want to trade him out.

But when he heard that it was the first round in '17, he directly agreed.

The Nuggets signed Millsap this season, as well as Moodier, who was drafted this year, and a number of outstanding role players such as Nurkic, Gallinari, and Harris, must want to rush to the results, but this will definitely require a run-in process, if the run-in is successful in a year or two, then the 17-year first-round pick will not be so valuable to them.

And Tang Tian agreed, because compared to 16 years, 17 is a big year for the draft, even if the signing is not in the lotto, it is not a loss.

Because Barton's contract was just signed, according to the rules, the deal will not officially take effect until a month later, but the conclusion of this deal has also basically confirmed the Nets' 15-man roster for the new season.

(Note: At the time of the Barton trade, the Spurs also traded Jonathan Simmons for a '17 first-rounder.) ）

Point guards: Delon, Livingston, T.J. McConaughey

Quarterbacks: Devin Booker, Eric Gordon, Tyler Johnson

Youngster: Jimmy Butler, Maddie, Bojan Bogdanovic, Randé Hollis Jefferson

Omae: Yi Jianlian, David West

Centers: Jokic, Pralim, Oden

West signed a one-year contract of 2.5 million with the Nets, and the Nets' total salary is around 85 million, and they have paid a luxury tax of 1 million, which is really negligible compared to the luxury tax of more than 90 million in the past year.

And unlike last year, with such a lineup, Tang Tian can finally set the championship as his goal again.

Although the Cavaliers, Warriors, and even the Spurs, Thunder, and Pacers are all difficult opponents to deal with, and the strength of the Nets is far less than the Thunder, Cavaliers and even Rockets he coached before, at least he has the confidence and strength, and he doesn't have to look at his opponent's face like last year.

The matter of the lineup was finalized, and Tang Tian finally had the kung fu to turn his head and care about the shares.

The league has not just emailed him now, and as the Nets have grown, the league's vice president has called directly to urge him.

The Warriors had just won the NBA championship, and with their location in the Bay Area and their market value rising almost daily, the news that Swift was going to sell 20% of the Warriors was pouring in.

Mark Stevens, a venture capitalist who participated in the last auction, stood out from the crowd.

"I'm not going to let the opportunity slip away this time." This is the bold statement that Stevens made when he entered the auction.

As a venture capitalist, he misestimated the value of the Warriors before, and now that the Warriors' market value is rising, he is really ready to make some money.

Tang Tian was happy to see such a scene, the greater the competition, the more the real selling price, and the lower the price for him to buy those shares in Latte's hands.

The Warriors are valued at $1.8 billion, and 20% of the shares are worth about $360 million, but just like the Clippers and Nets were sold, the valuation of a truly valuable team doesn't actually represent anything.

And in order to avoid causing market turmoil, the exact number of shares will not be really disclosed, and only those who participate in the bidding will know.

At the end of the first round of bidding, the value of 20% of the shares has exceeded 420 million, which is already $60 million more than the valuation.

When the second round of bidding ended, the market value soared to 500 million.

Stevens was really ruthless this time.

At this time, other competitors also rivaled each other, and in the end, the 20% of the Warriors' shares were finally acquired by Stevens at a transaction price of 520 million.

Tang Tian bought it for 200 million yuan, and it has only been more than a year since then, and he has really earned a lot of gold and silver.

However, there are downsides to such a deal, and with the completion of this share transfer, the market value of the NBA teams has risen for another time, and in the case of the Warriors, their market value has exceeded 2 billion.

And the Nets also appreciated, Lart's 20% stake and 45% of the arena stake climbed from 1.52 billion to 1.6 billion.

In the previous life, Prokhorov spent 1.9 billion when he acquired the shares in Lat's hands in October of the same year, and there are only 3 months left before that point in time, and according to the current situation, if you wait until October, the price is only a lot more than 1.9 billion.

It's really a perfect illustration of what time is money.
