Jamison joined the Wizards in '04 and has been here for seven years, accounting for nearly half of his career.

In the 7 years he has been here, he has averaged 20+ per game almost every year, and his total points have approached 20,000 points, which is not an exaggeration to say that he is a meritorious player of the Wizards.

But the NBA is so cruel, no matter who you are, when the team doesn't need you, say pardon and pardon.

Jamison's home is in a small bungalow in an affluent neighborhood of Washington, with three and a half floors.

When Tang Tian went, Jamison and his wife and daughter were there.

Jamison was a well-known gentleman in the alliance, and he was also very friendly to Tang Tian's visit, and he was quite polite.

"I'd like to invite you to play for the Cavaliers, and if you want, you'll be the team's starting power forward, and on a contract, we'll offer a mini-mid-range for two years, how about that?" Tang Tian said straight to the point.

Going to a championship team to become a starting power forward is also the biggest contract a team can offer, and even because it exceeds the luxury tax, the team pays double the salary for it.

The conditions are the best that the Cavaliers can give, which shows that Tang Tian attaches great importance to Jamison.

"Yes, the Cavaliers have always been a great team, but you're late, coach, I've decided I want to join the Thunder, and they've offered me a fully mid-range contract." Jamison said with a smile.

Although the Thunder are also over-risked, they do not meet the luxury tax, and the full middle class they can provide is about 2 million more than the Cavaliers' annual salary.

"When?" Tang Tian was a little surprised, he had already asked Dent to buy a plane ticket for the first time, and Cleveland was very close to Washington.

"They were here yesterday, and when the clarification period is over, they signed a contract with me directly." Jamison continued.

Tang Tian frowned slightly, he was put on a table.

And they came early in the morning, and they didn't even get the news about it.

"Sorry for letting you run for nothing."

Coming out of Jamison's house, Tang Tian was slightly depressed.

Originally, Jamison's style of play was very suitable for the Cavaliers, and he also had instant combat power, which was the best complement.

Now it's too late, and he's left to look at the rest of the free market.

It's just that in the free market now, most of them are Glenn Davis, Eric Dampier and the like, not to mention personal ability, even the style is not suitable.

"Is there any news from Kwame over there?" Tang Tian turned his head and asked.

"He has basically reached a contract extension with the Warriors, 10 million a year." Jones spoke.

Brown was the first substitute for Yao Ming last season, with a stable performance, averaging 7 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks per game in the regular season.

It's just that in this case, the Cavaliers will definitely not let him come back.

"Iverson also basically reached an agreement with the Rockets, a two-year, 12 million contract."

Tang Tian nodded, this may be the last contract of Iverson's career.

Maddie is on and off, young players aren't playing as well as they should, and the Rockets aren't far from rebuilding.

On the plane back to Cleveland, Tang Tian had a lot of thoughts in his head.

Missing out on Jamison, although there are regrets, it doesn't mean that there is no way.

Entering the second round last season, the Cavaliers have been using a large and four small lineup, because of the existence of Yao Ming and James, the fourth player needs to be responsible for the defensive end, in fact, it is only the mid-range area.

Artest is getting older and slower, so it is also a good choice for him to gain weight to play the No. 4 position.

And if Artest goes to play the No. 4 position, Parsons and Butler can get more playing time, which is also very good for the development of young players on the Cavaliers.

When they got off the plane, it was Dante who came to pick them up.

"Sean is in Cleveland, with his agent." In the car, Dante directly reported the latest situation.

"Sean?"

"Sean Battier."

Battier.

When Dante said this, Tang Tian remembered that Battier was a complete free agent this year, and the latter was traded to the Grizzlies for half a season, and his contract expired.

Because the Cavaliers were not short of small forwards before, he didn't pay attention to this piece.

But think about it carefully, in his previous life, Battier was also signed by the Heat this offseason, and played a huge role during the Heat's two consecutive championships, and even played the No. 4 position in the small lineup.

"Tell him I'm back." Tang Tian continued.

Battier will come to Cleveland, and bring his agent with him, it is certainly impossible for him to wander around, the only possibility is that he will defect to himself as an old future like Artest before him.

"Coach, long time no see."

When Tang Tian returned to the arena, Battier and his agent were already waiting there.

"Hey, Sean, long time no see." Tang Tian smiled and hugged Battier.

To talk about the Rockets team he coached before, in addition to Yao Ming, Battier is Tang Tian's favorite, even surpassing Maddie and Yi Jianlian.

Fighting the field, a gentleman off the field, modest, and simple style.

The nickname "President" is not called in vain, if he really runs for governor or something, I believe he will also have a very good popularity.

"I heard you were back in Memphis last season, and I thought you were going to retire." Tang Tian joked with a smile.

"I'm still young, coach." Battier said with a laugh.

"You're here with Totti, are you going to join the Cavaliers?" Tang Tian said and glanced at Battier's agent.

"Yes, we are interested in signing a 2~3-year contract with the Cavaliers, if the Cavaliers are interested in using the mini-mid-range." Totti, Battier's agent, spoke at this point.

"No problem." Tang Tian barely hesitated.

In his previous life, Battier signed similar contracts with the Heat.

And Battier is only 31 years old now, has defense, has three-pointers, and is a perfect match for the Cavaliers.

In fact, if he had been given one more day, and when he had really decided to let Artest play the starting number four, he might have taken the initiative to go to Battier.

The negotiations went more smoothly than ever before.

Tang Tian wanted to use the mini middle class to sign Jamison but didn't sign it, but now he has directly dealt with Battier.

This is the lost east, the harvest of mulberry elm.

The result may be even better than expected.

"Sean, the Cavaliers are short of a locker room boss right now, and I'm going to hand over this responsibility to you."

After signing the contract, Tang Tian said to Battier with a smile.

Wallace retired, Iverson left, and now the oldest of the Cavaliers team is Vallejo, who has just been traded.

James has never been the leader of the locker room, Paul's off-court personality is too paranoid, and the addition of Battier, in addition to his role on the court, is indeed the captain of the locker room as he said.
