Chapter 419: Deal! Trade! (2/4! )
Shake hands with Stern and take a photo with his trademark smile.
Tang Tian walked down the stairs on the second floor at this time, ready to go down to greet Butler.
"Why does this guy look a little like Michael Jordan?"
As he was walking down, Tang Tian heard someone discussing.
When he heard this, he looked up at the stage.
Under the lights, Butler does look like a young Jordan.
In the previous life, there were also many fans who discussed it like this.
Some people even gossiped about whether the person who abandoned Butler's mother in the first place would be Michael Jordan.
Many Americans have chaotic private lives, and it is not impossible for Jordan to go to a party and meet a woman, and then sow the seeds and forget about them.
Of course, that's all speculation, and for Butler now, his adoptive parents are his real parents.
After Butler took a group photo, he stepped off the stage.
"Jimmy." Tang Tian was waiting for him below.
Butler was very excited and excited when he saw that it was Tang Tian.
When he tried out at the beginning, Tang Tian looked at him differently.
Just now, when he was offstage, he also saw the trade the Cavaliers made to draft him.
The team's starting power forward and future first-round picks, this price is enough to show how much the Cavaliers, or Tang Tian, value him.
"Coach!"
"You're a member of the Cavaliers, don't dislike Cleveland for being too small." Tang Tian saw that Butler was emotional, and joked with a smile.
"It's big, much bigger than Tombal." Butler was honest and said directly.
Tang Tian was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.
Instead of rushing back to the draft cabin, he went back to his adoptive parents with Butler and started talking.
"With the 26th pick in the first round in 2011, the Chicago Bulls selected Jordan Hamilton, a 2.01-meter small forward from the University of Texas at Austin."
Stern announced the Bulls' selection, and they didn't select Jimmy Butler, who was replaced by Hamilton.
In terms of the individual strength of the two at this stage, Hamilton and Butler are about the same.
At this moment, Tang Tian's mobile phone rang, and it was Jones calling.
"The Bulls have a trade proposal."
When Tang Tian heard this, he said hello to Butler, and then walked quickly to the second floor of the Elective House.
His plan was to wait until Parsons was drafted before going up, but he didn't expect the Bulls to make an offer.
Back in the cabin, he also learned about the Bulls' trade proposal.
The 29th pick in the first round, traded Beverley.
Beverley was Paul's No. 1 backup last season, with a 29th pick in the first round, which wasn't a good deal.
"Straight refusal?" Jones asked.
"Wait, ask them what chips Gibson has." Tang Tian continued.
Trading, just like playing 2K, needs someone to take the initiative to start, but as long as one party takes the initiative, then the bargaining chips can naturally be changed, anyway, when it comes to both parties are satisfied, the transaction will naturally be reached.
Gibson was originally important to the Bulls, but after signing Boozer last season, Gibson was just a backup interior player, and his value naturally became lower.
After the Cavaliers traded Anderson away, because Wallace chose to retire after winning the championship last season, the Cavaliers only had one Frye left to use in the No. 4 position, and reinforcements were necessary.
And after last season's Finals, a defensive No. 4 is what the Cavaliers desperately need.
Dent was quick to get in touch, as there were only two picks in between, so there wasn't much time left for the two sides.
Ten minutes later, Dent hung up.
"Gibson is not for sale for them." Dante continued.
Hearing this result, Tang Tian smiled bitterly, it was really not so easy.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Bulls, the biggest competitor, will definitely not do it.
"But they can find a third party and trade us for a power forward." Dante continued.
Ten minutes, if it's just a refusal, you definitely don't have to talk that long.
"The New York Knicks, Anderson Vallejo, the New Yorkers want the 29th pick and our 56th pick."
"With the 28th pick in 2011, the San Antonio Spurs selected Corey Joseph, a 1.91-meter point guard from the University of Texas."
At this time, the Spurs with the 28th pick have already finished their selection.
"Agree with their proposal." Tang Tian said directly.
Vallejo's words, the advantages and disadvantages are obvious, the shooting ability is almost non-existent, the scoring basically depends on the second offense after the air cut and rushing to grab the rebound, and there is a big injury risk, but the victory is positive and physical, the defense is good, and the quality of blocking and dismantling is also high.
And the most important thing is that last season he renewed a two-year, 6 million contract with New York, and now the Cavaliers have exceeded the luxury tax, and such a contract is also acceptable to the Cavaliers at present.
Stern announced the three-way deal shortly after he came out, and the Knicks drafted Norris Kerr with the No. 29 pick.
Telfer didn't play last year, and they chose a defender this year, which is really an unprecedented preference for short guards.
The final pick in the first round belonged to the Cavaliers, and Dent also gave the staff the envelope with the results already packed.
Chandler Parsons.
Because of her high enough appearance, she was called a "courtesan", and later because she got a contract with the highest salary but couldn't play, she kept off-court news, and she was jokingly called money by fans, and she was afraid of it.
Of course, being able to get the maximum salary shows that Parsons has strong immediate combat power and potential before the injury.
In fact, the contract with an annual salary of hundreds of thousands selected by the Rockets in his previous life is also one of the NBA's famous high-energy contracts with a base salary.
9+5 in the rookie season, 15+5+3.5 in the second year, and then he was even more bright with Hayward and Leonard for a while, and it was discussed who could become the second small forward in the West after Durant.
All in all, taking Parsons with a first-round pick at the bottom of the round is definitely worth the money.
After acquiring Parsons, the Cavaliers made a trade with their old trading partner, the Lakers, in exchange for Barnes for a future second-round pick.
Parsons needs playing time, and Barnes is basically sitting on the bench if he stays with the Cavaliers, so letting him go to the Lakers will get a chance to play, and it can also help the Cavaliers ease the salary pressure.
After the Cavaliers selected Parsons, the first-round draft ended, followed by the second-round.
In order to get Vallejo, the Cavaliers paid Beverley and the 56th pick, and in the second round, only the most worthless and final 60th pick remained.
This sign is basically worthless.
Most of the time.
Of course, there are times when there are exceptions, such as this year.
