Chapter 297: Cleveland Pensioners? (1/4! )
After talking for more than half an hour, Tang Tian boasted that Griffin was the number one striker in history, surpassing Karl Malone and comparable to Duncan's existence, and after paying enough chips, he finally negotiated with Dunleavy, an old fox.
The Cavaliers sent Mo Williams + Ilgoskas + 2010 second-round pick to the Clippers' Bobby Blangar in 2010.
Because the Clippers only have more than 30 million salary space now, and they are also under the salary cap after the trade, there is no need to consider the issue of salary parity.
And the Cavaliers also got a trade exception worth nearly $20 million as a result.
These are secondary, the important thing is to drop the salary below the luxury line once and for all.
Of course, there is another point, Tang Tian will definitely not say that the Griffin rookie season in his previous life will be reimbursed......
In the offseason of previous years, after Tang Tian finished the draft meeting, he could rest and recuperate, but this year he definitely didn't have this opportunity.
It's not just him, it's the entire Cavaliers team that's busy.
Dante is busy with rookie signings and free agent market signings.
Jones was busy figuring out the rest of the deal.
Casey and Cassel are busy figuring out rookie training and playing time for next season.
It's busy, but everything is in order.
Fast forward to July 11, the day the July freeze ends, and free agents can officially sign with teams.
Nash renewed his contract with the Suns for 2 years and 22 million, and the "Son of the Wind" continued to lead the Suns forward.
Iverson returned to the 76ers in 3 years and 50 million, and AI returned to Philadelphia, seemingly ready to end his final career at the starting point.
Roy renews his contract with the Trailblazers for 5 years and 82 million, and the Youth Army officially determines the core of the future outside line.
……
The news of the signing kept breaking out, and the Cavaliers also completed the signing.
After Dent negotiated, Frye and the Cavaliers agreed to a three-year, $9 million fully guaranteed contract.
Rasheed Wallace 2 years 20 million with a team option for the second year.
Jason Williams has a one-year veteran base salary of 1.31 million.
Michael Finley has a one-year veteran base salary of 1.31 million.
Danny Green, 3.44 million for 4 years, with the 3rd and 4th years as a team option.
Beverley and Matthews both got the same contracts as Green.
Badinger, 2 years 1.24 million, standard second-round pick contract.
Marcus Thornton, the same contract as Battinger.
After Ben Wallace was bought out by the Suns, Tang Tian re-signed him with a one-year veteran base salary.
(Note: In 09, the NBA had a signing loophole, and there was no rule that it could not be re-signed within one year after the transaction)
Once those trades and signings were completed, the Cavaliers signed a number of non-guaranteed contracts and the preseason roster was released.
Point guards: Jason Williams, Beverley, Bobby Brown
Shooting guards: Michael Finley, Danny Green, Matthews, Marcus Thornton
Small forwards: James, Badinger, Javad Williams (non-guaranteed contract)
Power forwards: Rasheed Wallace, Ryan Anderson, JJ Hickson
Centres: O'Neal, Fry, Ben Wallace
(Note: Some other assets for the Cavaliers: 2010 first-round pick, 2010 Clippers first-round pick, 2010 New York Knicks second-round pick (Vallejo traded), 2010 Nets second-round pick (Daniel Gibson traded))
This lineup, the stars are shining.
"Little Emperor" James, "Shark" O'Neal, "Roaring Celestial" Rashid Wallace, "White Chocolate" Jason Williams, "Big Ben" Ben Wallace, "Former Calf Trident" Michael Finley.
If James had stood still, the rest of the world would have gone back five years, and this lineup would have been a solid dynasty.
However, after the dust settled on the free agent signing and the lineups of each team were completed, the Cavaliers naturally became the focus of media attention.
It's really star-studded, but the problem is that these people are no longer at their peak.
Is this the Cleveland Pensions?
"Oh man! You must tease me! What did Don do in the position of general manager? Even Smith, who has always been calm, couldn't help but complain after seeing it.
"It turns out that you should never give a manager a job as a general manager, no matter how good he is, because it's just shit." Barkley's big mouth isn't so clean.
Not only Barkley and Smith, but other media also said they couldn't understand it.
This lineup doesn't look like a mess, it has a certain amount of immediate power, but it's much worse than last season's.
People from the outside world can't understand it, but the people on the Cavaliers, including owner Gilbert, know very well that this is a mess, and it can't be done publicly.
On the one hand, the league is not allowed to openly show up, and on the other hand, the team has to sell tickets.
To meet this condition, Tang Tian's lineup is obviously the most ideal.
The supergiant of the past, the veteran now, is still famous, but prone to injury.
Plus a bunch of talented rookies with a lot of potential but little experience.
It's hard for such a lineup to make a record, but it's absolutely fine to sell tickets.
Swinging rotten is also a university question.
Of course, it's not just about a draft pick next year, it's about getting a rookie out this year.
On this day, as soon as Tang Tian sent the rookie development plan to the coaching staff, Dent came to him.
"There are two Chinese people looking for you in the conference room."
Chinese?
Tang Tian walked towards the conference room and asked Dante about the situation.
Judging from the description, it doesn't look like Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian, but it is a bit like Li Yuanwei, who came to him last year.
"That's them." Arriving at the door of the conference room, Dante opened the door and said.
Tang Tian looked up, not to mention, it was really Li Yuanwei.
The other is one of his assistant coaches in the national team, Guo Shiqiang.
What are these two people running over for a while?
Should you invite him to play in the Asian Championships?
In that case, it's kind of hilarious.
"Don Jr., we're meeting again." Li Yuanwei greeted Tang Tian with a smile.
Tang Tian shook hands with him, and then motioned for Dante to go out first.
"What's the matter?" Tang Tian asked after sitting down.
"That's right, we communicated with Gilbert, the owner of the Cavaliers, and said that we wanted to let Shiqiang study with the team as an assistant coach with the Cavaliers for a period of time, and he said that everything is up to you, so I came to you."
"Assistant coach? Learn? Tang Tian glanced at Guo Shiqiang, he didn't expect this to happen.
"Yes, it's usually training together, and then having a meeting together, learning some tactical systems, so that it can be promoted to the CBA, oh yes, there are some things on the equipment, last time those equipment worked very well, and the basketball management center is considering introducing some to the Beicang training base."
