Chapter 509: The Renewal Dilemma (1/4!) )

The young man was the last to get up, and he could feel that he was quite unwilling in his heart.

If it weren't for his poor school, he would have been physically fit to be selected in the second round.

He turned around, only to find a somewhat familiar young man standing behind him, as well as a ...... Wow, this woman is too sexy!

"Hello, I'm Tang Tian." Tang Tian introduced himself with a smile.

The young man's gaze was still on Anna's body one second, and the next second he immediately turned back to Tang Tian's side.

Tang Tian!

Standing in front of him turned out to be Tang Tian, the godfather with 6 crowns in hand?!

No wonder it looks familiar!

When he was still in college, he heard that Tang Tian would always come down to find some undrafted recruits to sign in the drafts a few years ago, but he didn't expect it to be true!

"Hello coach, I'm Kent Bazemore." Bazemore nervously introduced himself.

"Do you have ......?"

"Yes!" Without waiting for Tang Tian to finish speaking, Bazemore immediately replied affirmatively.

Tang Tian was stunned for a moment, yes, it seems that he likes to sign and lose the draft, and even the NCAA has already been known.

He smiled and didn't blame him, then handed Bazemore a business card.

The business card is not his, it is Jones's.

"Someone will take the initiative to contact you after a while, if not, you can try to take the initiative to find this person, welcome to join the Thunder team."

"Hmmm! Well! Bazemore nodded excitedly.

Gotcha, this guy is half a joke.

But it's okay, there are optimistic, there are funny, and the Thunder will definitely have a lot of joy this new season.

Back at the hotel, Jones also returned shortly after.

Because the door to the free agent market has not yet opened on July 1, the management cannot theoretically contact the free agent.

But Tucker is an overseas player, not a free agent, and Jones is in private contact and has not discussed specific contract matters.

"It's connected, and when the door to the free market opens, it should be done."

Jones has good news.

"Next, the focus of the management team will be on renewing the contracts of Ibaka and Harden, neither of them should be missing, and Perkins must also be traded." Tang Tian nodded, and still gave an extra admonition.

After the draft, Tang Tian and the draft team returned to Oklahoma the next day.

Because the finals ended late last season, and even the draft was held late, but the door to the free agent market was still opened at the normal time, so the day after I went back, the time came to July 1, and the door to the NBA free agent market began immediately.

The free agent market has been quite hot this year.

The main reason is that the Suns' LeBron James' team announced that they would jump out of the contract after the door opened.

Jumping out of the contract means that James has become a complete free agent, and he can sign a new contract with any team, of course, the Suns, as the parent team, can sign James with a maximum salary of 5 years, and other teams are 4 years.

In addition to James, there are other big fish in the free agent market this year, such as Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, Steve Nash, and Ray Allen, Jason Terry, Yi Jianlian, Gerald Wallace, Chris Carman, etc. are also very impromptu players.

The Thunder also moved fast, taking PJ Tucker the moment the free agency market opened, and it was pretty cheap.

A 4-year, 6 million contract.

Tucker has been wandering outside the NBA before, and in his previous life, the Suns signed him to a two-year, $1.64 million pure base salary contract, and the Thunder signed him on a bigger and longer contract, which has already seen him as part of their future plans.

For Tucker, being able to play in the NBA is already a luxury, and the contract amount is not very low, and his economic team has no reason to refuse.

Immediately after, the team sent Daquin Cook to the Bulls in exchange for a future second-round pick.

The second round of the Bulls is worthless, and it is basically equivalent to giving it away for nothing.

Cook is a good pitcher, but his salary reaches 3 million, which will affect the team's contract renewal, so he can only send it.

Perkins' question is a bit more troublesome.

Because of the knee injury he suffered in 10 years, his movement speed has dropped a lot, and he was often targeted by opponents last year, and these other teams are watching.

Jones went around trading and found that everyone was not stupid, and the chips given were basically all lion mouths.

Now that the interior line is paying more and more attention to mid-to-long-range shooting, Perkins' role, except for a pure interior like Howard, has no effect, even if it is Randolph's, mid-range and turn-over jumpers can easily blow him up.

Amnesty seems to be the only way forward.

Although it does not account for the salary cap, it means that the Thunder still have to pay close to $26 million remaining in the contract, which is real money.

It hurts to think about it.

And Durant and Perkins seem to have a good relationship, and the latter is also very important as the former locker room boss of the Thunder.

With the progress of the free agent market, various teams have also broken out a lot of signings one after another.

Duncan and the Spurs reached a 3-year, 30 million contract extension, and Duncan took a salary cut to renew the contract, which is about to end the Spurs.

Kevin Garnett and Boston reached a 3-year, 34 million contract extension, and Tang Tian's journey to the west made the "Wolf King" reject the offers of all other teams and continue to choose to stay in Boston to chase the championship.

Yi Jianlian and the Cavaliers reached a three-year, 24 million contract extension, and the Cavaliers moved the Great Wall of China of the former Rocket Dynasty directly to Cleveland.

Jeremy Lin and the Rockets agreed to a four-year, $32 million contract, with the fourth year as a team option, and after losing Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian in succession, Morey needs to find a new way to open up the Chinese market.

……

The negotiations between the Thunder and Ibaka also went relatively smoothly, similar to the situation in the previous life, and the two sides quickly reached a four-year, 48 million contract.

After this contract is reached, the Thunder will only have about 13 million salary space left next summer.

And Harden's negotiation of a contract extension did not go well, and the Thunder offered a four-year contract of 58 million, which was 2 million more than in the previous life, and it was also the largest contract that could be given in Harden, but it was rejected by Harden's team.

What they expect is a four-year, $60 million contract with a maximum salary.

The situation is still similar to the previous life, perhaps for Harden, what he wants is not the 4 million or 2 million, but a kind of team low post problem.

Durant is the top salary, Westbrook is the top salary, why is it not the top salary when I come here? Is this looking down on me?

The Thunder team now has the final say, in fact, it is not a matter of overpaying 2 million at all, as long as you communicate with the board of directors.

But in fact, for him, the problem is not the 2 million, but once the contract is renewed and the tax is exceeded, the other ways for the Thunder to bring in reinforcements in the summer will be gambled to death, after all, even if Harden is signed, the Thunder roster will only be 10 people.

In other words, Perkins' amnesty still had to take place.
