Love a fart!

Tang Tian suddenly regretted what he said before.

Originally, although no one was easy to choose, it was better to choose Kylelo Feshenko, who was the order in his previous life, or Aaron Gray, or even Dominic McGuire, than Sun Yue.

Sun Yue's conditions in all aspects are considered top in China, but there is still a gap between all abilities and the NBA, and his previous life has proved that he is not up to the level of the NBA.

This sign is a bit of a waste.

After that choking passed, Tang Tian sighed helplessly.

However, there is no way to choose it, it can only depend on his cultivation ability, if Sun Yue can really be cultivated into a qualified role player, it can be regarded as a benefit for Chinese fans.

The second round of the draft continued, and when it came to this signing, many fans at the scene had already left the stadium in advance, and even the huts of some teams gradually quieted down.

By the time they were in their fifties, there were not many people left on the scene, and some of the selected teams had been withdrawn in advance.

But at this moment, Tang Tian's eyes lit up again.

This year's second-round show, in addition to Marc Gasol, there is another one he likes more is Ramon Sessions.

Some people who have followed Yi Jianlian should know this player, this is a floor point guard, not afraid of confrontation, and extremely good at passing, and he played 24 assists in a single game in his rookie season.

After the end of last season, Blake's rookie contract expired, and many teams are interested in him, and it is a question whether the Rockets can re-sign him, and if they can't, it would be a good addition.

And coincidentally, the Rockets got the second-round pick of the Bucks in that trade for Spanolys, which is 56, which happened to be the pick that the Bucks selected for Sessions in the previous game.

"Ramon Sessions?" Morey said as he flipped through the rookie's profile.

21 years old, junior, not very potential.

With a height of 1.91 meters, the height confrontation is okay.

The lateral movement speed is on the slow side, and defending the opposing point guard is a problem.

From the University of Nevada, the university averaged 12.3 points, 4.7 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game, which is not bad for a traditional strong team.

56th pick, the team will most likely not sign in the end, since Tang Tian has spoken, there is no other choice for this position, and Morey naturally has no reason to refuse.

When the Rockets got rid of Sessions with the 56th pick, the team withdrew.

In this draft, although Sun Yue was an accident, Tang Tian still maximized all the picks in his hand.

Whether it's Gasol or Sessions, it's a strong addition to the Rockets' new season.

After the draft ended, Tang Tian called Marc Gasol who was far away in Spain as soon as possible.

Gasol was a little emotional, he was ready to lose, but he didn't expect the Rockets to select him in the first round, which made him feel more excited than he had ever been.

"You'd better come and report from the team in the next two days because it's summer league and I'm looking forward to seeing you."

Hearing that Tang Tian attached great importance to himself, Mark Gasol patted his chest at the first time and promised that he would definitely go to Houston in two days.

Gasol patted his chest and promised, but he didn't make it to Houston two days later, if nothing else, because of the scary high buyout fee of FC Barcelona, which cost a full $2 million! Taller than his brother Pau Gasol!

That's an astronomical amount for a rookie.

Tang Tian also realized that there was still this stubble, so he finally found Morey and flew to Barcelona by plane.

After a week of tossing and turning, the buyout thing finally made progress.

The $2 million buyout fee talks about $1.5 million, for which the Rockets pay the maximum $500,000 allowed by NBA regulations, and the remaining $1 million Marc Gasol pays out of his own pocket.

But this $1 million was also borrowed by Mark Gasol from his brother Pau Gasol at the suggestion of Tang Tian.

Two weeks later, Tang Tian finally arrived at the Toyota Center in Houston with Marc Gasol.

Marc Gasol's basketball career is more experienced, because of Pau Gasol's relationship, he spent high school in the United States, but because he did not receive a college scholarship, he was unable to play in the NCAA, and he began to play for the Barcelona club in 03 years and has been playing for the club since then.

In high school, because of unreasonable dietary control, he became a ball, nicknamed "Mexican tortillas", although it has improved now, but when he was tested in Houston, the body fat content was as high as 30%!

The NBA average is 10%, and this level of obesity makes it impossible to play an NBA game at all.

Tang Tian remembered the nickname "man.boobs" when Marc Gasol first joined the alliance in his previous life, which means men's **, and it seems that this is not groundless.

Summer league is definitely not going to be played, and this summer is a top priority for Marc Gasol.

However, weight loss is weight loss, and after Gasol arrived, the Rockets still signed with him as soon as possible.

Although it is the 30th pick, it is also within the scope of the first-round pick, and the two sides signed a four-year $4.56 million dollar, the first year of 860,000, increasing year by year, the first two years are fully guaranteed, and the team option is the second two years.

Absolute cabbage contract.

Also signing was 28-year-old rookie Luis Scola.

The Rockets gave him a 3-year contract of 9.3 million, but Scola's situation is even more exaggerated than Gasol, because he is a rookie in 02 and is the absolute core of the Spanish Tau Ceramics Club, and the club asks for a buyout fee of up to 3.5 million!

In the end, Scola paid 3 million out of his own pocket, which also set a small record.

However, looking at the two people who signed the contract, Tang Tian still felt very happy in his heart.

With Marc Gasol and Scola as the Rockets' frontcourt depth suddenly became thicker.

That's when the annual NBA Summer League kicked off.

Last year, Tang Tian led the team, and Tang Tian is the head coach this year, so naturally he will not go again.

This time he led the team, and his assistant was Cole.

Gasol and Scola don't play in summer league, and this time the Rockets fielded a lineup, with Barria playing in sophomores, as well as rookies Sessions and Sun Yue, as well as some other fringe guys on the free market.

Compared with last year, the strength of this lineup is much worse.

Tang Tian also knows this, so he doesn't have high requirements for this team, as long as he plays with characteristics.

However, in private, Tang Tian also gave Cole a task, which was to give Sessions enough opportunities.

He didn't want it to be a pity that Morey didn't sign Sessions in the end because of that.

The NBA Summer League kicked off, and at the same time, the 2007 NBA July freeze period also arrived, and the news of various free agent signings also broke out in a steady stream.

However, the signing of the Rockets was not smooth, with the championship halo bonus, and the team's free agent Steve Blake received contracts from more than five teams, including the Portland Trail Blazers, who offered a three-year contract of 24 million, which is clearly poaching.
