Chapter 351: 2010 NBA Draft (4/4!) Ask for a commuter pass! )

"I'll think about it, Coach, I know, it's none of your personal business." Wallace understood Tang Tian.

Tang Tian nodded.

He has already said what should be said, and it is up to Wallace himself to choose.

After Wallace left, Tang Tian called O'Neal and Jason Williams, who had expired contracts, to his office.

Pretty much the same thing.

These players performed very well last season, but they are not in Tang's plans, and if they want, it is okay to renew their contracts at a low price, but he also wants them to go to the market for a bigger contract.

Players play for money, and there's nothing wrong with that.

He also doesn't want to play the emotional card to squeeze their money.

Similar to Wallace, they are almost all the same, and they both want to make decisions after free market.

After talking to them all, Tang Tian finally called Kwame Brown in.

Brown's case is somewhat peculiar.

He played very well last season, and Tang Tian also put in the honor points.

The contract option will certainly be exercised, but there are some things that must be said in advance.

"Kwame, it is basically difficult for Shaq to stay in the team in the summer, but you will still be in the team, but I want to say hello to you in advance, you are likely to play as a substitute in the new season, I hope you can calm down."

"I'm totally fine, Coach." Brown is in a really good mood now, and said with a smile.

"Without your coach, I probably wouldn't be playing in the NBA now, and I'm grateful, and I listen to whatever you do."

Tang Tian was stunned for a moment, got up and patted Brown on the shoulder.

With Brown's performance, if he adjusts his mentality, even if he plays as a substitute next season, he won't be able to run a big contract when his contract expires.

After chatting with everyone, Tang Tian called the members of the draft team together for a final regular meeting.

When everything was ready, the next afternoon, he, Jones, Casey, Dent, and the team's chief scout, Brooke Victor, boarded a plane to New York.

The Madison Square Garden stadium was still full of fans, but unlike last year, the largest number of attendees were Cavaliers fans.

They couldn't be more excited.

The team won the championship and now has two high-draft picks.

It's so cool and crooked, it's beautiful!

Not to mention that the Cavaliers have several second-round picks left this year!

After seeing Tang Tian's low-level Taobao ability last year, this year's draft is definitely going to be upside down.

Tang Tian and his draft team arrived at the scene half an hour before the draft began.

Somewhat by chance, he and the Rockets' draft team collided again.

In fact, there is only one channel, and there are only 30 teams, which is not too coincidental.

But this time, as soon as he wanted to say hello, Morey called everyone away.

It seems that he is in a rather bad mood.

Tang Tian didn't care, and took his team to the hut.

Compared with the previous two years, this year is actually not a big year for the draft, and the only ones who are famous are actually Wall, Turner and Cousins, and George and Hayward, who Don God knows, actually look relatively ordinary.

When he arrived at the draft office, Tang Tian asked Dante to start contacting, his plan was rolled out very early, and the current draft meeting is coming to the final end.

This year's draft pick for the Cavaliers, in addition to the fifth pick of the Kings and the tenth pick of the Clippers, in the second round, has its own No. 57 pick, which was previously traded to the Kings but returned with the Novak trade.

There's also the 76ers' No. 50 pick, which was added to the first-round pick Williams.

As well as the Knicks' No. 38 pick and the Nets' No. 31 pick, which were acquired last offseason by trading Vallejo and Daniel Gibson.

The draft outside has started soon, and the emotions of the fans are starting to rise.

"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome fans from all over the United States......"

Stern doesn't know how many times he has come to the draft, and he still reads his skillful lines and is still smiling.

"That's it!"

Just then, Dante put down the phone.

"The No. 57 pick plus some cash in exchange for the Lakers' second-round pick next year is done."

Tang Tian nodded.

This year's rookies, except for Wall, Cousins, George and Hayward, who can be used as the cornerstones of the team, actually have a very low success rate, especially in the second round, and there are basically not many who can play in the rotation.

That's a lot worse than last year.

The number of second-round picks is a bit too much, and it would be more useful to trade for some future draft picks.

"The first pick in the first round of the 2010 NBA went to the Washington Wizards, and they had five minutes to think about it."

Outside, Stern has finished reading his opening remarks, and the draft has officially kicked off.

Tang Tian looked at the small TV and suddenly felt very interesting.

Jamison didn't come to the Cavaliers, but the Wizards still finished first and still got the top pick.

"It's a pity!" Although he knew the team's plan, Jones still sighed.

The Kings have the third-lowest record in the league, with a 15.6% chance of winning the top pick, and Wall's words will be a perfect match for James.

"It's a pity, if it's really the champion's signature, will we still be willing to do it?" Tang Tian continued.

Jones smiled and nodded, and said the same.

Tang Tian then looked at the small TV.

If it's next year, he's still looking forward to the top pick, after all, there is Irving, but Wall is the kind of point guard in the academy, and his ability to help James share the scoring at critical moments is limited.

Dent's side was still in a hurry to contact the trade, and it was at this time that Stern came out and announced the draft results.

The Wizards chose Wall.

Wall was taken away, and the 76ers, who were the second pick, had no choice, and picked Turner as in his previous life.

The Nets, who were the third pick, also took Favors.

When he came to the fourth rank, Tang Tian frowned slightly.

Haven't you done it yet?

In fact, not only him, but also the team members in the entire hut were all nervous.

Tang Tian's plan was just a few minutes away.

Although it has been rolled out before, whether it can be finished or not, it will be a moment.

That's the NBA's trade market, which is ever-changing.

They are not only negotiating with the Cavaliers.

"Don, he said he wanted to talk to you directly." Dante finally said helplessly.

Tang Tian nodded, after all, there was such a big deal involved.

He motioned for Dante to turn on the phone on speakerphone.

"Temples, I'm Don."

Tang Tian walked to the phone.

"Didn't we already negotiate the stakes before? What went wrong at the moment? ”

"Yes, Don, you know we haven't made a deal yet, and everything is uncertain."

"So what are the new conditions you want?"

"We're going to have Matthews." On the other end of the line, Hornets general manager Del Demps spoke.
