As the clock drew closer to July 1, the teams were quiet for a few days before they started to get ready to move again.

This year's free agent market is as lively as in previous years, with Nash, Iverson, Roy, Randolph, Odom, ...... All went to the free agent market.

In addition, Glenn Davis, Ilyasova, Jarrett Jack and other powerful factions will also set off a storm in the free market.

And on this day, Tang Tian asked Jones to send a signal to the management of each team.

Sale! It's a big clearance!

Anyone but James can do it!

In an instant, the entire alliance was fried.

The Cavaliers just won 64 wins last year, and this is about to clear the stock in the blink of an eye?

Isn't this a loss of mind?

For a while, the phone in Tang Tian's office never stopped.

No one will miss the opportunity to clear the warehouse and rob it!

However, after they really called, they knew that Tang Tian was not really a big sale, but just wanted to lead them to call.

This is Tang Tian's purpose, instead of calling and greeting these general managers one by one, it is better to have a transaction negotiation with the other party, so that at least the other party will have a personality of what kind of person, and the probability of becoming a partner in the future is not very large.

Now, for example, he's engaged with the Suns' new general manager, Steve Kerr.

"Don, I'm not going to rob you, I know what you want to do, and I have a good proposal here." Cole said with a smile on the phone.

"Steve, you were my assistant coach, and if you try to rob me, I'll give you some color." Tang Tian continued.

"I know you want to change the status quo, you want to make a big fuss next offseason and form a Big Three, Big Four or something."

"Alright, that's it." Tang Tian interrupted Cole's words, his former assistant coach was still as smart as ever.

"Tell me, what benefits will I get if I accept O'Neal's contract?"

"Shaq is still in his prime, I want you a second-round pick."

"No, you give me a second-round pick."

Neither of them is a vegetarian, and although they used to work together, they really negotiated-for-tat.

"Don, you're robbing like this, so let's do it, I'll buy you out Ben Wallace, and you give me Mo Williams."

"Rub, you are ruthless ......"

Both men wanted to take advantage of each other, and the negotiations went on for a long time.

But fortunately, the two are old acquaintances, and they are not in a hurry to quit, and finally talked for more than half an hour, and the two sides finally reached a plan.

It was also Tang Tian's first trade after becoming the management of the Cavaliers.

The Cavaliers sent Ben Wallace, Pavlovich and some cash to get "Big Shark" O'Neal from the Suns.

This is very similar to the previous Cavaliers trade, the only difference is that there are no ball picks involved in the trade.

Although O'Neal was out of step with the Suns last season, he still contributed 17.8 points, 8.4 rebounds and 1.4 blocks.

But as much as the deal suggests, it's a win-win deal.

The Suns' record has repeatedly declined after trading O'Neal, and they missed the playoffs last season, and if they want to revive, the team must dispose of O'Neal, and although Wallace obtained from the trade is also an annual salary of 14 million, it is only one year, and they can consider a buyout.

As for the Cavaliers, Tang Tian's goal is to mess up, he wants to trade as much as possible to get some expiring contracts, O'Neal has a contract of 21 million next season, and he can release a large salary space when the time comes.

Hanging up, he picked up the squad and crossed out Ben Wallace and Pavlovich with a pen to add O'Neal.

Point guards: Mo Williams (2-year contract, $8 million next season), Daniel Gibson (4-year contract, $4 million next season, long-term contract)

Shooting guard: Nobody.

Small forward: James (1-year contract, annual salary 15.78 million)

Power forwards: Vallejo (1-year contract, 6.3 million annual salary next season), JJ Hickson (rookie second year), Ryan Anderson (rookie second year)

Center: Ilgoskas (1-year contract, 11.54 million), O'Neill (1-year contract, 21 million salary next season)

The total contract amount adds up to 69.72 million, which has surpassed the luxury Rui.

Although they are all expired contracts, he can't bear to pay extravagant Rui in bad years, let alone Gilbert.

He put down the list, and then called Dante to the office, who had been unusually promoted by Tang Tian to the head of the operations department.

"How's the free agent negotiations?"

"Michael Finley is almost talking, but he is still talking to the Spurs about the buyout, Jason Williams, he has always wanted to come back, we offered a one-year veteran base salary, he directly agreed, Rasheed Wallace was originally talking with the Celtics, a 2-year 12 million contract, I directly offered a 2-year 20 million team option contract, and he was close to agreeing, but Channing Frye ......"

Tang Tian was listening carefully, what Dante said was what he asked to sign, and judging from Dante's report, these situations were similar to what he expected.

"What happened to Fry?" Tang Tian frowned, Frye was part of his future plans.

"The Suns are also negotiating with him."

"I think about it, Steve." Tang Tian remembered his previous life, the Suns and Frye signed a 2-year, 4 million contract with a player option.

"Putting the contract salary straight up to four million a year, I need him to stay in Cleveland for the next three years." He thought for a moment and spoke directly.

Frye is a big man who can shoot three-pointers as a teenager, and he can shoot four and five, and is one of the most suitable interior players for James, and this must be won.

"Understood." Although he knew that Tang Tian offered a price much higher than the market value, after spending a week with Tang Tian, he also understood the character of his boss.

Dent left, Tang Tian continued to pick up the phone, at this point, he made an appointment to negotiate with the Clippers.

Like Tang Tian, the current head coach of the Clippers, Mike Dunleavy Sr., also serves as general manager.

"Mo Williams for next year's first-round pick, or not?" Tang Tian got straight to the point.

"Don't do it? And that Williams Gail Goskas? ”

"Williams averaged 18 points per game last season, with a contract of only 8 million, and Ilgoskas averaged 12+8 per game, don't you want him to fight against Yao Ming? He only has one year left on his contract, and you don't lose money. ”

"Don't do it yet? Shall I add a second round next year? Blake Griffin is a rare talent power forward in ten years, in exchange for your inside Ilgos Casga Griffin, outside Mo Williams plus Eric Gordon, and then sign a small forward, this season can directly impact the playoffs, you don't want to waste Griffin's talent, right? ”

"And in the playoffs, your first round is worthless, let me make it clear to you, the Cavaliers are going to rebuild next season, what are you going to do?!"

"What are you doing? Say it earlier! ”
