"How's Brown's market doing right now?"

"Last season, he averaged 6 points and 6 boards per game, and considering his ball quotient, I think I can definitely win a 3 million contract." Jones continued.

Tang Tian nodded.

The Thunder's tactical thinking for the new season must be to lean in the direction of small ball, and if Green is not selected, then his goal is to transform Ibaka into a Green-like existence, that is, the No. 5 position in the small lineup.

This will involve a series of things such as gaining weight and gaining muscle, which is equivalent to changing the direction of the player's talent point in 2K.

This is actually completely feasible, the reason why Ibaka in his previous life is getting more and more out is because he suffered a serious calf injury in 14 years, and the current Ibaka has this ability.

But it's a gradual process, so the team needs to find a black and rough inside.

Originally, Perkins was pardoned a year later, which was just right, but something happened to the ghost, so he had to find it again.

But it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, Brown returned to Tang Tian, and the basketball IQ went back, that is, the combat power must be better than Perkins.

"So can we think differently? Signing Brown on a long-term contract, after all, he's only 30 years old, and then signing Christian Christian with a one-year contract? In doing so, we also weakened the Spurs. Si continued.

"Kill two birds with one stone." Tang Tian said with a smile.

Jones's line of thought works.

"Then do it, you do it alone." Tang Tian admonished, the matter of the inner ghost now made him extra vigilant in doing things.

"I understand." Jones also knew what Tang Tian was worried about, so he nodded directly and said.

The lineup is just one part of Tang's offseason this summer.

In the new team, everything is zero, it is impossible to find out who the inner ghost is, and the heads of all his departments have to be replaced.

So it's one thing to get done.

After all, Jones is an experienced old man, and his movements are very sharp.

Within two days, he had signed both Brown and Dior.

Brown's signing was particularly smooth, and the former champion knew why he could play so well, and no one could leave Tang Tian if he left.

A three-year, $7.5 million contract, considering Brown's age of 30, is definitely a bargain.

Of course, the other teams feel that it is average, they feel that after last season, this parallel champion can basically say goodbye to the league, and the Thunder still treat him as a fast baby.

Dior's signing was more cumbersome than expected, but Jones still won it, if not for anything else, because the Thunder were willing to spend money.

Dio originally negotiated a 2-year contract of 9.2 million with the Spurs, and then the Thunder quoted 6 million a year, and the Spurs followed up to 10 million for 2 years, which is the largest contract they can offer in the middle class, and then the Thunder directly 8 million a year.

Dio expressed his love for the city of San Antonio, his immense respect for head coach Popovich and his teammates' immense praise, and then signed the contract with the Thunder.

No one is at odds with money.

With Brown and Dio, the Cavaliers' lineup for the new season is basically decided.

Point guards: Westbrook, Reggie Jackson

Shooting guards: Soflosa, Harden, Bazemore

Small forwards: Durant, PJ Tucker, Middleton

Power forwards: Ibaka, Collisson, O'Quinn

Centre-forwards: Boris Dior, Kwame Brown, Cole Aldridge

All the team has to do now is take a veteran point guard.

It's not such a rush for the team.

Tang Tian can finally free up his hands and think about the Thunder coaching staff.

His previous core assistant coaches, Thibodeau became the Bulls coach, Kerr is now the Suns general manager, Casey became the Cavaliers coach, and Cassel became the Cavaliers' first assistant coach.

The old department is all in full swing, and his coaching staff still has to be reorganized.

It's just that it's different from the previous two times, because his days in the Thunder team will be very long, and considering that he will move to the management position in the future, so this time, he is ready to find a head coach who can inherit the mantle, just like Jiang Wei who inherited Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms.

He took Anna with him and got on the plane to Indiana.

This time he wasn't for the Pacers, or any of the Pacers' free agents, but went straight to the downtown Polis neighborhood.

After getting off the plane and taking a taxi for nearly half an hour, they finally arrived at the destination of the trip.

Butler University, founded in 1855, has a history of more than 100 years, this school built on the mountain, although it looks small and pitiful, but it gives people an ancient and rustic feeling.

Butler University has a high academic reputation, but Tang Tian, an NBA head coach, definitely didn't come here for academics, and after he entered the campus, he went straight to the school gymnasium.

Butler University has shone in the NCAA for the past two years, reaching the NCAA finals for the second year in a row.

The purpose of Tang Tian's trip is their head coach.

The NCAA kick-off date is similar to that of the NBA, also in November, which is also the offseason, and the players, that is, the students of the school, are basically on vacation.

However, after the rise of Butler University, the players are more conscious, and even in the offseason, many players still come to the school to train spontaneously.

When Tang Tian entered, he heard a banging sound inside the training hall.

When I walked in, I saw seven or eight players training on the field, and their head coach was sitting on the sidelines.

Tang Tian walked over and quickly attracted the attention of all the team members, of course, not only because of him.

Anna's fiery figure is something that everyone will feel, let alone this group of students, their eyes are shining, if it weren't for their head coach next to them, they would have whistled at this time.

The head coach also realized that someone had come in, and he was slightly surprised when he saw that it was Tang Tian.

Obviously, the same coach, even if it is the NCAA, it is impossible not to know Tang Tian, the godfather of the dynasty.

"Kenny, you lead the team, 20 suicides." Stevens said unceremoniously.

"Don't do that! Instructor! A tall black man over there complained.

"30."

The stadium was instantly quiet, and the players began to run.

The head coach greeted Tang Tian with a smile, although he didn't know what Tang Tianlai was doing, but he was very polite.

led Tang Tian into the office on the side, and after motioning for him and Anna to sit down, he sat down with a smile.

Tang Tian was paying attention to the change in his expression, unlike those team members, this look basically didn't stay on Anna, and it was not the natural kind of restraint.

"Coach Tang Tian, I don't know what you're looking for me for." The manager opened his mouth in confusion.

"I want to invite you to join the Thunder, Coach Stevens." Tang Tian said with a smile.

"What can a tongue do but kiss?"

"Tease! What else can you do but kiss? ”
