Kerr's resignation and signing James must have been a ripple effect, after all, it was his gamble, it was he who paid a lot of money to get James from the Cavaliers, and then recruited Maddie.

Now that James is gone, the Suns will definitely not be able to rely on an injury-ridden Maddy and an old Nash, and can only choose to rebuild.

It's just more interesting that Kerr left before James.

Howard had been traded to the Lakers by the Magic before, and James' departure, to some extent, also further promoted the formation of the Lakers' "new F4".

It's like all roads lead to Rome, although many things have changed, but most of them have been corrected back by history as Tang Tian expected.

James' signing has also involved a number of subsequent trades, and Nash's trade is just one of them.

Ray Allen, who has not reached a contract extension with the Celtics because of salary issues, chose a 3-year 9.53 million mid-level contract to sign with the Heat.

The contract is much smaller than what the Celtics offered, which on the one hand shows that Ray Allen is disappointed with the Green Army's attitude towards the renewal of his contract, and on the other hand, it also shows that he is bent on pursuing a championship.

The Heat team in the previous life came two years late, and most of the lineup seems to have gone back, although Battier signed with the Cavaliers, but James, who was transformed by Tang Tian, is also more powerful than the James of the Heat in the previous life.

After Tang Tian joined the Thunder, the formation of the Heat Big Three shocked the league again.

In the new season, the "Big Three" Heat, the "Four Young" Thunder, the "Dynasty" Cavaliers, and the "Ageless" Spurs, this is a realistic version of the Star Race, and several teams are star-studded, and the expectation of the game is even the largest in recent years.

It's definitely hard to win this year.

But at this moment, the good news that Tang Tian had been waiting for finally came.

"I've resigned as head coach at Butler University."

Stevens made his final decision.

Butler University's lineup this year is very average, and there are not even players of the level of Shervin Mark that Tang Tian didn't remember.

With the current lineup, let alone winning the championship, even Stevens is already reluctant to reach the quarterfinals.

Butler University was also quick to announce their new head coach, Chris Hortman, who has been Stevens' assistant coach and is just as good.

Stevens arrived in Oklahoma the next day.

Tang Tian met his future first assistant teacher in the conference room and hugged him with a smile.

Stevens' words can greatly reduce the pressure on his head coach's work, and even if the plan goes well, when he enters the management, Stevens can really inherit his mantle.

In the conference room, they talked about some topics, this time Stevens did not choke Tang Tian again, but behaved very gentle and elegant, not only Tang Tian, but also other members of the management liked him quite a lot.

The two sides quickly reached a 5-year, 5 million assistant coaching contract, and the salary of this contract also broke the NBA's previous assistant salary record!

After Tang Tian became the master of Thunder, it was really a big deal one after another.

However, just like Clayton had assured Tang Tian before, the board of directors had not interfered much.

They gave Tang Tian enough freedom, and the next season should be the time for Tang Tian to perform.

Finalized his first assistant coach, the core of the Thunder's coaching staff has basically been decided.

Immediately after that, the shooting coach identified Peja Stojakovic, a retired player who played for the Cavaliers in the past.

In addition, Tang Tian also learned from the coaching experience of the Cavaliers, and hired Will McConton, a well-known psychiatrist in the city, as the team's psychological coach to help the players relieve pressure during the game.

At this point, the new coaching staff of the Thunder team is basically complete.

After the coaching staff's affairs were settled, Tang Tian finally freed up his hands to engage in the affairs of the ghosts.

In fact, there were only four people in the conference room that day, and apart from him and Jones, only Mick Bernard, the head of operations, and Manning Joseph, the chief scout, were left.

It's actually very convenient to look it up.

The best entry point is, of course, the Warriors.

When Tang Tian was free before, he was very familiar with the senior management of each team, so this kind of thing, with a little in-depth discussion and some exchange of interests, basically came out.

As expected, the inner ghost is Mick Bernard, the head of operations.

Bernard used the leaks for personal gain and helped the Warriors cut off Hu Green, who was paid $100,000 from the Warriors.

And after a careful investigation of Bernard, it was found that this guy was not the first time, and he had done such things one after another before.

It's no wonder that since Ibaka was drafted, the Thunder's draft standard has slipped dramatically, and that's why it's always been.

With such a person, Tang Tian naturally didn't need to be soft-hearted.

Directly fired, plus exposed his improper behavior, this guy can't continue to mix in the NBA circle.

opened Bernard, and just found Dante, who was fired by the Cavaliers before, and the managers in various departments are basically people they trust.

In the end, Stevens was arranged to lead the team to play in the summer league, and after a busy summer, Tang Tian could finally be a little free.

There was the London Olympics in 12, and the national team also wanted him to continue to lead the team, but he refused.

On the one hand, he was caught in the turmoil of changing teams before, and on the other hand, Guo Shiqiang, who has been interning in the Cavaliers for two consecutive years, should also be tested on the field.

There are still three months to go before the start of the new season, and Tang Tian does not go to the Olympics, and he has no intention of spending time in the United States as in previous years.

This year, he is preparing to return to China.

Since the crossing, he has basically spent time in the United States except for the first year.

Although this body grew up in the United States, he himself is still Chinese, and he always feels like a stranger abroad.

Of course, the most important thing is that this time he returned to China with a mission.

The previous Sino-American basketball training camp has brought very good results, and the young players who participated in the training camp have been greatly improved after returning.

So this time, at the invitation of the Chinese Basketball Association, Tang Tian will hold the first phase of his personal basketball training camp in China this summer.

Basketball training camps exist at home and abroad, and they have also exported a lot of young basketball talents.

For example, the well-known Wang Fei training camp in China has a very good effect.

Tang Tian, because he is the head coach of the NBA, will only have more influence.

And this time when he returned to China, Tang Tian naturally didn't just do it for this.

The impact of a training camp is always limited, and this time he is going back, and he is also ready to invest in building a basketball school.
