Five minutes later, Tetum came out of the backstage again and announced the Cavaliers' selection.

The Cavaliers selected Danny Green at the pick.

Green, a senior who is 22 years old this year, has limited potential, but as the captain of this year's NCAA champion, the University of North Carolina, he has a solid style of play, has a certain amount of immediacy, and has the potential to become a qualified bench player.

However, Tang Tian's expectations for Green are far more than that, in his previous life, Green was the starting scoring guard of the Spurs, the iron-clad "Huang Ama", a standard 3D player, and one of the most suitable players for James.

Of course, the premise is that it can be used, in fact, in the previous life, Green was also selected by the Cavaliers, but after a year of abandonment by the Cavaliers, he gradually showed his power under Popovich.

The Timberwolves, who were the 45th pick, selected Nick Caraseth, a 1.98-meter guard.

The 46th pick belongs to the Cavaliers themselves, and Tang Tian also hesitated for a while.

As he said before, this year is a year with a very high second-round talent rate, and there are three people worth selecting at this time, Chase Battinger, AJ Price and Patrick Mills.

All three have their own characteristics, with Batinger having the explosiveness that is rare among white players, Price being an NBA-qualified backup point guard, and Mills being the most accurate three-point player of the three.

In the end, he chose Badinger.

Compared to the other two, Badinger has better talent, and even if he doesn't stay with the Rockets in the end, it is a good bargaining chip to trade.

After all four picks were selected, Tang Tian gained a lot.

Because they already have a suitable trading plan, they can already start preparing to withdraw.

Packing up their things, just as they got up, Dante's mobile phone rang, and he glanced at Tang Tian in surprise after answering it.

After hanging up the phone, he said, "It's a call from the Rockets, and they want to trade cash for Badinger." ”

Hearing this news, Tang Tian remembered that in his previous life, Badinger's career started with the Rockets.

"Not for sale!" He said without hesitation, this Morey is really thick-skinned, knowing that he is coming to the Cavaliers, he is still cheeky to exchange and return cash!

Dante was about to make a phone call, when Tang Tian suddenly remembered something and called out to him.

"If it's Morey who calls, tell him that he wants Battinger and exchange it for Yi Jianlian."

Dante was stunned for a moment, this is obviously unrealistic? Yi Jianlian is now the starting big forward of the championship team!

Tang Tian stretched out his hand and motioned for him to say that's it.

Dante called, and soon, he took the phone away from his ear.

When he hung up the phone, he smiled bitterly and said, "Morey is furious." ”

"Alright, let's withdraw." Tang Tian said with a smile.

You want to rob me, I don't mind disgusting you.

After coming out of the draft hut, Tang Tian took a photo with Thorton, Green and Battinger, who were on the scene, and said some words of encouragement.

After the interview, Tang Tian did not leave the scene in a hurry, but sat at the front of the scene.

"What are we doing?" Dante sat next to him with a puzzled face, Tang Tian also said that he was going to evacuate people, why didn't he leave.

"Wait until the draft is over."

“……”

Dante didn't know what Tang Tian was going to do, but it wasn't long before the draft ended, so he just waited.

About half an hour later, the Heat, the last pick, selected Robert Dozier, and the 2009 NBA Draft officially came to an end.

By this time, the draft teams of each team had all left, and the staff had begun to withdraw.

Tang Tian also stood up at this time, but instead of going out, he walked forward.

A few meters away from his position, there was a sitting with his head bowed.

Everyone else had gone, and he seemed a little lonely.

If you get closer, you can see that he is already deep in his hands on the stool.

Obviously, it was a player, but he was defeated.

Dante saw Tang Tian stop behind this person, and he also understood why he had to wait until the end.

This is to wait for a draft loss.

"Wesley." Tang Tian opened his mouth and shouted this person's name.

After hearing this, this person raised his head, and his eyes were a little red, not sad, but angry and unwilling.

"This is the general manager and head coach of the Cavaliers, Tang Tian." Dante reacted quickly at this time, and immediately introduced.

Hearing the name, Matthews got up from his seat with a "poof".

Although as an NCAA player, he doesn't know Tang Tian, but now in the United States, as long as he is in contact with basketball, he must know this name.

Three consecutive crowns, the godfather of the dynasty, who doesn't know!

"Are you interested in signing a non-guaranteed contract with the Cavaliers, the three-year kind?" Tang Tian said with a smile.

"Me?" Matthews was a little incredulous, but immediately his eyes burst with unprecedented longing.

At this time, not to mention the non-guaranteed contract, even the training camp contract is already a gift for him, where will he think about it so much.

Tang Tian saw Matthews' eyes and knew that the matter was done.

In fact, he was afraid that Matthews was too ambitious, like the one named K.J. McDaniels who knew in his previous life, knowing that he had the ability to sign a one-year contract.

Now it seems that he is overthinking.

"I'm optimistic about you." Tang Tian smiled and patted Matthews on the shoulder, then turned back and motioned for Dante to follow up.

Matthews' expression became more and more excited, being so affirmed by Tang Tian was the greatest encouragement to him.

It really went from hell to heaven in an instant.

Back in Cleveland, Don asked Dent to deal with his rookie contract, and then began to prepare for the formation of the team.

Because he wears two hats, he has a lot more to think about.

Originally, Kerr was a perfect candidate, no problem being the team's deputy general manager, and the first assistant coach was more than enough, but unfortunately he was taken first by the Suns.

Now I can only separate the two things.

The coaching staff, who still has some experience, approached the official Cavaliers staff and asked him to send a league recruitment.

There are only 30 positions for NBA head coaches, and many coaches will face being fired, and there is a lot of mobility, just like he did in the interview, there will always be the right person to qualify.

Even during the interview, I was able to get other teaching assistants by the way.

The coaching staff has gone smoothly, but the managerial staff really doesn't have much experience in this area.

But it was at this moment that he remembered the words he had exchanged with Thibodeau during the draft.

Jones, the Rockets' deputy general manager, appears to have been fired.

Jones has been with the Rockets for more than a decade, so he certainly has a lot of experience in this area, and he just knows what it's like.

I made a phone call with Thibodeau, he asked for Jones's call, made a call, confirmed that the other party was at home, and directly asked Dante to buy a ticket to Houston.
