Chapter 502: The Knight Who Doesn't Renew His Contract (2/4!) )

After notifying the Cavaliers management, Tang Tian chatted with the team's core players, including Paul, Yao Ming, Carter and Butler......

He didn't say much, but he also gave his best wishes to his teammates.

Like when he left the rocket, these players he recruited and cultivated single-handedly were the part he was most reluctant to give up.

But since he has already chosen, with his character, he will only move forward.

After doing all this, he immediately announced on Twitter that he would seek a new challenge and would not renew his contract with the Cavaliers.

As soon as this news came out, the entire alliance exploded.

The Cavaliers traded James and then let Tang Tian go after the season?

What the hell is this?

Cavaliers management didn't speak up, or Gilbert didn't let it speak.

Although Tang Tian didn't mention it, Gilbert knew it in his heart, and then asked the person in charge of monitoring below, and it was basically a certainty.

After all, he is the one who is at fault.

At the beginning, I couldn't resist going to James to talk about the possibility of returning, and my hands were ready to turn into bamboo baskets to draw water, and this result could only be regarded as self-inflicted.

So both parties are silent, and a peaceful breakup is the best option.

"Thank you for your hard work." Sitting on the plane to Los Angeles, Tang Tian looked at Swift and Hathaway slightly apologetically.

To avoid possible fan harassment, he had his belongings packed up at the airport, checked in to a rented apartment in Los Angeles, and then left Cleveland a little later with his family.

There is not much reluctance to leave, although it is not active, but the new start and new challenges make him have new expectations.

It's just that the two women who have suffered themselves have just gotten used to living in Cleveland, and they are going to follow them all over again.

"Fool, what hard work is not hard, where you are, we will be there." Hathaway said with a smile, he knew that it was not Tang Tian's intention to leave the knight, and at this time, as a woman, what she needed to do was positive encouragement.

"Yes, it's not the place or the house that matters, it's you." Swift followed suit.

Tang Tian smiled after hearing this, and sure enough, he didn't choose the wrong woman.

The Cavaliers management has been silent, which quickly annoyed the fans.

They used to hate James's initiative to leave, and now they also hate Tang Tian's choice.

Even doubled, after all, James was also traded out by Tang Tian.

Some radical fans began to burn pictures of Tang Tian, and some even gathered outside the wealthy area to march in protest.

Cleveland fell into a commotion because of Tang Tian's departure.

Seeing that the situation was getting bigger and bigger, Gilbert also knew that if he continued to make trouble, it was estimated that the truth of the matter would be revealed, so he took the initiative to stand up and speak out.

"Don brought the first, the second, a total of three NBA championship trophies to the city, he doesn't owe the city anything, after the contract expires, the coach has his own options, and we do this, we are trampling on the honor he has won for the city in the past, and we are also breaking our moral bottom line, we can't."

It's a bit high-sounding, but it's a perfect PR shot.

Sure enough, after the Gilbert incident, more fans chose to stand up and speak out.

Tang Tian's choice to come to the knight was not the best choice, but he still came, and fulfilled his promise, bringing three consecutive championships to the city.

He really doesn't owe Cleveland anything, it's the Cleveland fans who owe him.

More and more people are standing up to speak out, and slowly, the behavior of those irrational fans is suppressed.

Although the fans regretted Tang Tian's departure, they slowly returned to calm.

After all, life went on, and Tang Tian's departure did not take his coaching staff with him.

This also means that Casey and Cassel will continue to stay with the Cavaliers, and the core of last season's championship squad is still there, and the Cavaliers are still enjoying the wealth that Tang Tian has brought to them.

Even a week after Tang Tian left, fans who came to their senses, after obtaining the consent of the stadium, began to raise funds to build a statue of Tang Tian outside the stadium to commemorate the dynastic glory he brought to the city.

The thing happened so wonderfully, and the result may not have even been expected by Tang Tian himself.

However, Tang Tian has no time to take care of these at this time, in his apartment in Los Angeles, there are basically people who come to visit him every day, and it is really not an exaggeration at all.

Although it issued a statement saying that it would not renew the Cavaliers' contract, it did not say where the next team would go, which is equivalent to saying that the other 29 teams in the league have a chance.

Team management can't have contact with free agents until July 1, but it doesn't say they can't talk to coaches.

At present, there are only three days before the draft, and they know Tang Tian's draft vision, which is to let Tang Tian enter the main team immediately.

"Don, Rick Wiltz said he wanted to see you." Jones said over the phone.

Jones's contract expired with Tang Tian, Tang Tian chose to leave, and he also chose to follow, and he was still Tang Tian's assistant at this time.

"Again?" Tang Tian couldn't help but press his forehead, this was the third time that the old man of Wilzna had come in a week.

"Let him come back tomorrow, I'm going to rest today." Tang Tian looked at the time, it was 8 o'clock in the evening, and the old man was not sleepy.

"He said he was already at the door of your apartment." Jones said a little helplessly.

Yes, it's not easy for people to make a trip.

After hanging up the phone, Tang Tian asked the maid to go downstairs to open the door.

During this time, except for the Suns, Cavaliers, Heat, Rockets, Bulls, and Celtics, all the remaining 24 teams came, and some did not come next time, such as this Wiltz.

"Rick, didn't I say I'd let you know as soon as I made a decision? Why are you running here again? Tang Tian didn't have time to respect the old and love the young at this time, so he looked at the watch in his hand as he spoke.

"I'm sorry, but I'm really worried that you've already talked to the other teams, so I can't help but come over for a run." Wiltz smiled.

Well, he couldn't say anything more.

"Warriors ......"

Then, more than half an hour of small talk.

Tang Tian knew the situation of the Warriors very well, and no matter how many times he was repeated by Wiltz, he could memorize it out of the script just like the teacher asked him to be asked to be by the text when he was a child.

The Warriors have Curry, who only played 26 games last season due to a serious ankle injury, but Wiltz assured that Curry was completely OK, and the team just extended his contract with him for four years and $44 million.

Speaking of which, Curry is also an unlucky kid, seriously injured in the contract year, otherwise with his performance in the past four years, the top salary will not be able to escape.

The Warriors also have Thompson, who proved last season what a great off-ball shooter he is.

They also have David Lee, the big killer on the inside.

They also have the No. 7 pick this year.

……

Looking at the gushing Wirz, Tang Tian really wanted to say something.

"Okay teacher, I really wrote it down."
