Now.

In the office, several bigwigs of the Cavaliers management were all present.

Owner Gilbert, general manager Danny Ferry, and Chris Grant, who later took office in 2010, are all there.

In recent days, for Tang Long's sudden rise, several bigwigs have been overjoyed in their eyes.

signed Tang Long last year, and Tang Long was just stocked.

Because of Yao Ming's existence, many NBA owners like Dragon Country players.

Don't ask why, ask just to make money.

The Bucks won the UAE with the sixth pick in the first round, and they are also optimistic about using the UAE to open up the Dragon Country market.

The Cavaliers signed Tang Long at a low price, but they actually had that kind of mind.

As for cultivating Tang Long well, let Tang Long play the starter and assist James to win the championship.

This kind of crazy idea, the owner Gilbert has never had.

He didn't expect Tang Long to bring much good record to the team in the Cavaliers, he purely used Tang Long as a vase to support.

Who would have thought that it was such a "vase", but after Big Z was injured, he played that kind of highlight performance.

led the Cavaliers to a winning streak all the way, and even the most difficult Green Army triumvirate in the East was taken down.

In the Celtics game, owner Gilbert did not watch the live broadcast, he later heard Tang Long beating Garnett and Perkins in the North Shore Garden, and then watched the footage back.

Since then, boss Gilbert, including general manager Danny Ferry, Chris Grant and others, have all been impressed by Tang Long.

Gilbert even called an emergency meeting and told Danny Ferry that he must find a way to keep Tang Long.

This Dragon Kid is a genius, in the inside penalty area, he can be called the defensive gate of the Cavaliers, and he is also a sharp weapon on the offensive end!

As long as Tang Long is retained, it is not impossible for the Cavaliers to return to the finals this year.

Even the boss Gilbert specifically found Danny Ferry, James, and Mike Brown to discuss what level of contract extension to give Tang Long?

He knows very well that currently in the NBA league, there are many teams that want Tang Long.

Among them, the Los Angeles Lakers are very interested in Tang Long and have been inquiring about when Tang Long's contract expires.

In addition, the New York Knicks, the Golden State Warriors, and the Pacramento Kings all threw olive branches to Tang Long.

And these things have spread all over the league, not only Gilbert and others know, but also James and Tang Long.

However, under James's lobbying, Tang Long chose to wait and see for a while.

Let's see what extension price the Cavaliers will end up paying for him?

If the Cavaliers are sincere, then stay in Cleveland and win the O'Brien Cup with James.

If the Cavaliers management is not sincere and comes up with a broken contract to perfunctory him, Tang Long will choose to leave the Cavaliers.

It is not a question of betrayal or not, but about one's own dignity and one's own worth.

Staying in a perfunctory team, there must be no hope of getting ahead.

In this case, it is better to change teams and go to a team that is more suitable for you.

The Los Angeles Lakers are very good, where the ball market is big and the exposure is high.

There is also a super scorer like Kobe Bryant in the team, and Tang Long also firmly believes that he transferred to the Los Angeles Lakers and won the championship with Kobe.

The current Lakers team is very short of high-quality interior lines.

Pau Gasol is currently with the Memphis Grizzlies and has not been traded to the Lakers.

Today's Lakers can be said to be a mess, and there is only one main interior line, Kwame Brown.

And what Kwame Brown looks like, senior fans know very well, it is the 'parallel brother' selected by Jordan!

Because of this parallel brother, Jordan's reputation was almost ruined in his hands.

While pondering, Tang Long, James, and Bill Duffy sat on the sofa in the office.

Gilbert looked at a few people seated and smiled, "Hey! Tang Dynasty... You've seen your recent performances on the court, and we're excited to play that kind of dominance on the inside. ”

"I don't even think that in a few years, you won't have the slightest problem with being comparable to Peak Shaq!"

Gilbert is very optimistic about Tang Long's future development and is ready to cultivate Tang Long with his heart.

Of course, that's what James and Mike Brown mean.

As early as a few days ago, James and Mike Brown came to Gilbert, hoping that Gilbert would give Tang Long a quality contract and keep the talented center.

When Tang Long heard this, he smiled and said, "Mr. Gilbert, thank you for giving me such a high evaluation, I want to know, how are you going to sign my contract extension?" ”

"Oh! I'm going to leave that to Danny Fee, I just want to tell you that young people, stay in Cleveland, we already have the best small forward in the league here. ”

"You stay here, partner with the best small forward in our league, and I think you're going to get everything you want!"

Gilbert is worthy of being the boss, and his brainwashing skills are top-notch.

The best small forward in the league in his mouth is naturally James.

In 2007, James also deserved the honor.

Kevin Durant has only just entered the league in his first year, so naturally he can't compare with James.

In this era, James is recognized as the strongest small forward in the league.

As for Guago Anthony, of course, he also played very well, but in terms of fame and overall strength, it was slightly worse.

Tang Long nodded: "Dear Mr. Gilbert, since I am here today, of course I am going to stay in Cleveland, otherwise I will not come, and I will go directly to the next house to negotiate the contract." ”

"As you said, I'm here because of LeBron, who is the best small forward in the league, and I firmly believe that I can grow into the best No. 5 in the league!"

"When the time comes, I will be proficient in running in with LeBron, the championship will be the two of us, and we will win three consecutive championships like the Lakers dynasty back then!"

"Bang Bang!"

As Tang Long's words fell, there was a round of applause in the office.

James was happy, because he thought so too.

The OK group won the only three-consecutive championship in the new century, and in the next three years, he will dominate the NBA with Tang Long, also win three consecutive championships, and establish a dynasty!

Now it depends on how Tang Long's contract renewal negotiations are, as long as the Cavaliers management shows sincerity, I believe Tang Long will stay here.

"Hey! Tang Dynasty... What you said really came to our hearts, and I have always been responsible for your renewal contract! ”

"We are ready to give you a full guarantee contract with the 1+1 option, after all, you have no priority, we will appropriately reduce the contract period, first renew a 1+1 full middle-class contract, and then you play at a high level, we will give you a maximum salary contract, which is the same treatment as LeBron, what do you think?"

At this moment, Danny Ferry, who was the general manager, spoke.

First, Tang Long was given a 1+1 option for the full guarantee of the middle class.

A contract like this is a good contract in the NBA.

Many high-ranking rookies can only sign a rookie guarantee contract with the 4+1 option.

4+1 has been too long, and there is no chance to change teams if you want to.

The full middle-class contract with the 1+1 option is more suitable for a bench player like Tang Long.

In the marginal role, he played to get a fully guaranteed middle-class contract, similar to Jeremy Lin in later generations.

After the rise, Lin was crazy and immediately signed a middle-class contract, with a total value of more than 12 million US dollars.

Tang Long thought about it, he didn't want too much.

As long as the Cavaliers are willing to give him about fifteen million for two years, he will continue to stay with the Cavaliers!
