The Suns gave the first round to the Nets, and there is only one second round in this year's draft, and they are not resistant to getting the second round, you must know that they were only a little short of hitting the playoffs last season, and this year the roster has added some talent, and there is a good chance to enter the playoffs.

In other words, their second round next year isn't worth much.

The deal was made, and Tang Tian was not idle, so Jones went directly to the Warriors to buy the 60th pick.

There was a draft loss this year that gave him some ideas, but now the team has a full lineup and may not be signed, and he just has the idea of taking one step at a time.

The second round of the draft went quickly, but the more interesting scene was that many undrafted drafts were looking in the direction of the second floor.

In the past few years, Tang Tian would come to the scene to "be lucky" to some undrafted candidates, and they were looking forward to being able to become the lucky ones in the new year.

It's just that they waited until the draft was about to end, and they didn't wait for Tang Tian to come out.

"With the 30th pick in the second round of the NBA in 2016, the Brooklyn Nets of New York selected TJ McConaughey, the 1.88-meter point guard from the University of Arizona."

McConaughey was on the scene, and when he heard that he was selected at the last moment, the guy jumped up excitedly and trotted straight onto the stage.

Interestingly, when he came down, Jefferson, who was in the press area, turned back and said hello to him, both of whom were starters at the University of Arizona.

Tang Tian brought back 3 rookies at one time, and this draft meeting was still full of harvest.

The only regret is that Joe Johnson has not received a good offer from beginning to end, which also makes Tang Tian a little anxious.

With only four days left until the free agent market opens, that's not good news.

In this year's free agent market, LeBron James, Kevin Love, Kawhi Leonard, Wade, Marc Gasol, Jordan Jr., Aldridge, Jimmy Butler, Millsap, Brook Lopez, etc. are all big fish, and there is no shortage of high-quality role players such as Dragic, Draymond Green, and Danny Green.

If Tang Tian can't clear the space as soon as possible, he will have less choice in the free market, and his A/B/C plan will fall through one after another.

"Pull up the stakes, this has to be done before the free market doors open." Tang Tian couldn't sit still a little, and directly gave a new order to Jones.

Jones began to reach out to teams he had previously approached to be interested in.

Soon, there was a new reply, but this reply made people feel a big head.

After negotiations, the Kings were the only team willing to accept Joe Johnson's contract and not give away a garbage contract, but the chips they were asking for were a bit difficult to accept.

They want Bogdan Bogdanovic.

Bogdan averaged 11.7 points, 2.6 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game on 44 percent shooting in the regular season last season, and in the playoffs, that number improved to 12.6 points, 2.1 rebounds and 3.7 assists, shooting more than 47 percent, making him second only to Jokic among the Nets' young players.

In other words, Bogdan's regular season and playoff performances last season look bright for him.

The asking price of the Kings is really not low at all.

But this is the only team that meets Tang Tian's requirements.

If other teams are interested, they either have no space, or they have to send garbage contract matching space, only the Kings are interested and have space, after all, Johnson has more than 24 million in the final year of his contract, which is higher than the maximum salary of most players.

"Agreed." Although there is some reluctance, this step must not be taken if there is a chance, if it is not taken, it will take another year of waiting, and the Nets cannot afford to wait.

I can't bear to let the child trap the wolf!

And also a shooting guard, Devin Booker is clearly more valuable than Bogdan.

It is also difficult to train two people at the same time, and if you choose to trade one of them, you will have no such troubles.

Tang Tian agreed, and the negotiations over there were quickly reached.

Before the free market, the league also officially announced the deal.

The Nets sent Joe Johnson and Bogdan Bogdanovic to the Kings Andre Miller, who has a full-indenied contract for the final year.

The Nets cut Miller after the trade was completed, and they also got a trade exception worth about $20 million in the deal.

After completing this deal, the Nets also received more than $30 million in salary space, which makes them absolutely competitive in the free market.

In other words, if a free agent wants to come, they can sign any free agent, including LeBron James.

It was at this time that Tang Tian began to list his A/B/C plans.

Now the Nets' lineup.

Point guards: Delon, Livingston, Tyler Johnson, T.J. McConaughey

Quarterbacks: Devin Booker, Maddy

Small forwards: Bojan Bogdanovic, Jonathan Simmons, Ronday Hollis Jefferson

Omae:/

Centers: Jokic, Pralim

Coupled with Yi Jianlian and Will Barton, who are scheduled to renew their contracts, the lineup will reach 12 people, and the defender line and forward line are basically enough, and what is missing is the interior line.

However, after clearing Joe Johnson's contract, Tang Tian will obviously not be satisfied with the lineup in front of him.

An All-Star caliber player is a must-have.

Kawhi Leonard is Tang Tian's Plan A, and although it seems difficult, everything always needs to be tried.

Jimmy Butler is a Project B, and the former disciple has improved a lot on the offensive end in the past two years and has grown into an All-Star caliber player.

Millsap and Wade are Plan C, and if none of the front is successful, then he will have to settle for the next best.

However, whether it is Plan A or Plan B/C, Tang Tian's goal is to do a big job in the free market, and reinforcement is a must.

Last season's core roster remains, and signing any of them gives the Nets a chance to go further.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, on July 1, the door to the free agent market officially opens.

As soon as it opened, Tang Tian got on the plane to San Antonio.

The Spurs have their own attributes to stay with the team, and if he wants to try Plan A, he will have to talk to Leonard before then.

Before getting on the plane, he had put Jones and Leonard's team in touch and he would get a one-on-one conversation.

Whether he can finally win this former FMVP depends on how much strength Tang Tian's eloquence can show.

Leonard lives in an ordinary apartment, and although he has gradually grown into the core of the Spurs, he, like his predecessor Duncan, has a relatively low-key private life.

Although he knew in advance that Tang Tian would visit, he still seemed a little strange.

In fact, if it weren't for Tang Tian's visit, he would have signed a 5-year contract with the Spurs with a maximum salary.

In other words, he didn't expect anything from this conversation, and he should have given Tang Tian a face.
