The Nets have two second-round picks next year, and the Suns have a higher value, and the team is offering their own second-round next year.

Soon, the Cavaliers replied, and they agreed.

This was directly picked up by the Nets as a big bargain.

Two days after the deal was made, Tang Tian met Yi Jianlian in the Nets' office.

Compared with when he was in the Rockets, Yi Jianlian has obviously become more cheerful and talkative.

People always change, and Tang Tian's change to him at the beginning has changed his entire life.

And for returning to Tang Tian's command, Yi Jianlian also seemed very excited.

Although he has been playing in the NBA for 7 years, his favorite is when he played under Tang Tian, although he was just an ordinary role player at that time, it was the time when he improved the most and felt the most fulfillment.

"You're going to play better than you've ever done before." Tang Tian saw Yi Jianlian's excitement, and patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said.

After trading to Yi Jianlian, the Nets lineup has basically been determined, but after that, Tang Tian went to San Antonio.

didn't go to catch up with the old man, nor did he go to dig up the corner of the Spurs, but went directly to the Austin Spurs.

The Austin Spurs were still called the Austin Bulls a few years ago, and when Tang Tian sent Sun Yue down, it was this team.

There hasn't been much change here compared to the beginning, the team is still in Austin, but the name and the people in charge have all changed.

After Tang Tian explained his intention to the general manager of the team, he soon met the person he wanted to meet on his trip, Jonathan Simmons.

Simmons entered the NBA draft two years ago but was ignored, then spent a year in minor leagues like the ABL before joining the Austin Spurs last season.

The Nets are short of small forwards, which is why Tang Tian came to him.

Simmons would be a very good forward 3-and-D player if he developed it, and even after the team grew up in the future, he would be a very good rotation player.

"Coach, you...... Looking for me? When Simmons saw Tang Tian, his eyes were full of shock.

He played in the NBDL for a year, not to mention Tang Tian, the godfather of the 7-crown dynasty, who is the head coach of the team, oh no, the assistant coach can't see one, at most he has said hello to scouts.

"Wait, I'll see if it's a dream." Simmons, like a big boy, pinched his face with his hand and grinned in pain.

Tang Tian couldn't help but smile after reading it.

"It's not a dream, the Nets are ready to sign you to a three-year base-salary contract, if you want to, of course." He continued.

Simmons's body trembled slightly, which caught Tang Tian off guard, his eyes were red, and he rubbed them with his hands, and he actually cried.

Tang Tian was stunned for a moment, this reaction was a bit beyond his expectations.

Simmons then realized that he had lost his temper, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his hand, tried to squeeze out a smile and said, "I'm sorry, coach, I just ...... It's just too exciting. ”

Tang Tian smiled when he heard this, and then patted Simmons on the shoulder: "You are no worse than others, and your efforts will be rewarded." ”

Simmons nodded vigorously.

Tang Tian left San Antonio and returned to Brooklyn, and Simmons packed up and went back with him.

Usually used to playing ball on the bus, and taking a plane with Tang Tian, he couldn't sleep at all when he was so excited along the way.

Tang Tian didn't care, the competition in the NBA is very cruel, some professional players may be poor and can only mix in the NBDL for the rest of their lives, and being able to knock on the door of the NBA is like God's favor for them.

At this moment, in Simmons's heart, Tang Tian is probably an existence like God.

In Brooklyn, Simmons and the Nets quickly signed a three-year, $1.8 million base salary contract, with team options for the second and third years.

This is Simmons' only option, he has no reason to refuse, and the annual salary of this contract is already much higher than the 500,000 base salary of the pure base salary.

After the acquisition of Simmons, the Nets' roster for the new season is basically released.

Point guards: Deron Williams, Shaun Livingston, Jordan Crawford

Quarterbacks: Joe Johnson, Bogdan Bogdanovic, Tyler Johnson, Euvan Moore

Junior forwards: Bojan Bogdanovic, Darius Miller, Jonathan Simmons

Omae: Yi Jianlian, Lavoy Allen, Mike Scott

Center: Brook López, Nikola Jokic, Greg Oden

There are 16 people on the list, and there will be layoffs after the preseason, basically there are 8 people in the stable rotation, Delon, Johnson, Bojan, Yi Jianlian and Lopes will be the starters, Livingston, Bogdan, Jokic will be the stable rotation, and who of the remaining 8 can stay in the team last, it depends on their respective performances.

This lineup is certainly not comparable to the previous championship-contending teams, but from the perspective of competitiveness, it is definitely better than the previous Nets.

Tang Tian is not in a hurry, the steamed buns have to be eaten one bite at a time, and he can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.

And this season has just begun, and at worst, these role players are playing and are also good bargaining chips for low salaries and high energy.

The free market has come to an end, and the alliance has entered a long period, and Tang Tian can also temporarily withdraw his eyes from the alliance.

While he was busy, Hathaway and Swift had been in the hospital for some time.

The due date is approaching, and for pregnant women, childbirth can happen on any day.

Because of his wealth, he lived in Columbia and Cornell Presbyterian Hospital in New York, which is one of the best hospitals in New York and the United States, but no matter how good the thing is about childbirth, it only minimizes the risk.

After taking care of the lineup, Tang Tian handed over the rest to Jones and Kidd, and he stayed with Hathaway and Swift in the hospital every day.

Chatting, the days don't feel slow.

But when it was time to become a father, Tang Tian was still a little inexplicably nervous and excited.

Being a husband and father is a very important stage in life, let alone coming together.

Of course, in addition to these, there is one more thing for him to consider.

The child's name hasn't been given yet.

A boy and a girl, and to have a Chinese name and an English name, this is really a big project.

He doesn't have the domestic saying, he needs to see what is missing in the eight characters and the like, but the child's name always has to be nice and meaningful.

Hathaway and Swift can give some advice on English names, but the Chinese name can only rely on Tang Tian alone.

Tang Tian was still thinking about it, and when he went out to eat, the hospital called.

Swift is born!

He threw down his knife and fork and rushed to the hospital.
