The Godfather of Basketball

When Tang Tian arrived in Houston, he was just in time for the sunny day.

This sunny day is not the same as Yi Jianlian's sunny day with a barometer. It is really a heat wave that makes people sweat.

Fortunately, Thibodeau knew he was back and drove directly to the airport to pick him up.

On the way back to Toyota Center, he learned about the team's situation.

He hasn't had time to talk to Morey since the start of the Olympics.

The team played well in the summer league. Anthony Morrow made a very eye-catching draft, averaging 4.1 three-pointers per game, and can contribute 25+ points, making other teams envious drool.

He and Jordan played one offense and helped the Rockets achieve three consecutive championships in the Las Vegas Summer League.

As for Dragic, because there are still some club issues to deal with, the team has not had time to report.

When it came, Xibodu gave Tang Tian a copy of the current team list.

Centers: Yao Ming, Mark Gasol, DeAndre Jordan, Dan Gazuric.

After joining the small Jordan, the center is the Rockets' most abundant position in the new season, and it can even be said to be a bit extravagant.

"Gazuric hasn't traded yet?" Tang Tian was surprised when he saw Gazuric's name.

"Yes, Darrell has been worrying about it," Xibodu followed.

Tang Tian nodded, with a big contract of 60 million yuan per year for 3 years, the savvy Morey may be a bit miscalculated this time.

Power forwards: Scola, Landry, Yi Jianlian.

Small forward: Shane Battier.

Tang Tian froze when he saw it, and turned his head and asked, "I seemed to tell Darrell that he had signed Matt Barnes. Why not?"

"That ... Darrell doesn't seem to like him very much."

"Huh? What's going on?" Tang Tian was somewhat surprised.

"Prior to the private training, Barnes almost got into a fight with each other. It would have been better to sign the veteran's base salary." Xibodu said here and did not continue.

Tang Tian frowned. He didn't know that such a thing had happened. It seems that the Olympic team led the team to miss an important signing.

Shooting guards: McGrady, Pietrus, Anthony Morrow.

Point guards: Billups, Sun Yue, Dragic.

With Morrow and Dragic joining, the depth of the guard is much better than last season.

This list is actually enough. Although Millsap's power forward strength has dropped a lot after Millsap's departure, other positions have improved, and the team has a good chance of achieving the three consecutive championships.

After arriving at the Toyota Center, discussing some tactical matters with Xibodu, he went to the general manager's office.

Although in the offseason, Morey, like his head coach, is basically open all year round.

"Darell, it's me, Don."

"Come in."

The door of the general manager's office was knocked, and soon there was a voice from Morey.

"Don, you finally came back." Morey stood up from his seat and smiled and reached out to him.

Unlike running last year when they met last year, maybe they have been general managers for a year, and their attitude has also undergone some subtle changes.

Tang Tian didn't care, walked over and shook hands with Morey, then sat down.

"I heard that you led the Chinese men's basketball team to the third place in the Olympics. That was a very great achievement. Congratulations." When Tang Tian sat down, Morey said with a smile.

"Good luck." Tang Tian waved his hand with a smile.

"I know, you are a humble person. This is the team's current list. You have been away for some time. Let's take a look."

Morey said, giving Tang Tian a list.

It's almost the same as the one given by Thibodeau, but in more detail. Among them, Jordan, Morrow and Dragic, the three newcomers also have numerical standards on various ability values.

In the percentile system, Jordan's defense and rebounds reached 81 to 83, and his free throws were 43.

In addition to Moro's three points is 8o, all others are all below 6o.

This is a very Morey-style list.

On the side of the list are players' salaries.

McGrady has the highest contract this year, reaching 270,700,000. At first, he signed a 7-year contract with the Magic in 2ooo years, and then renewed a contract with the Rockets for 3 years in 4 years, which is equal to 1o It expires in the summer.

Followed by Yao Ming, 15o7 million, in terms of his current strength, it is definitely a representative of high salary.

Then came Battier, 6.45 million.

This way it seems that the team's total salary next season is 72.36 million, which is more than 50 million more than the salary cap.

This is still the case for only 13 people.

Tang Tian put it down after watching it, and then said, "Dan Gazuric doesn't have many opportunities to play on the team."

This total salary, in fact, removed Gazulic's contract is still below the salary cap, Tang Tian asked at this time, it is also a euphemistic way of asking.

"It's really a little overwhelming." Morey reached out and pressed his head at this time, apparently as Sibodu said, and he had been troubled for a long time.

"Isn't that bad team willing to pick up?" Tang Tian followed.

"Yes, the key to Jazurich's contract is 3 years, and our round value is also limited ... forget, I will find a way to deal with these things." Morey suddenly interrupted the topic.

"Maybe consider looking for those who are more confused in management, such as magic, king or pioneer." Tang Tian suggested.

"Magic, King ..." Morey nodded thoughtfully.

Each general manager has his own familiar trading partner. Tang Tian said that these two have not been in contact since he took office. This reminds him.

Although it is not certain that they should be rotten, it is not impossible to hang them.

Seeing that Morey's face was much better, Tang Tian remembered about Barnes and said with a smile: "Yes, I don't see Matt on this list?"

"Matt?"

"Matt Barnes," Tang Tian reminded.

"Don't mention that guy, it's a gangster. He's more angry than Pietrus. It must be a mess for the team." Morey frowned.

"I have a way. You see, Pietrus didn't have nothing last season." Tang Tian continued with a smile and said that only Barnes can find the strong support on the market.

"No ~ www.readwn.com ~ don't mention it anymore, I'll take a look at the free market first, you just came back, let's go take a rest.

To Tang Tian's surprise, Morey didn't seem to want to continue this topic.

Tang Tian froze, but since Morey's attitude is this, it really seems unlikely.

Although it is a pity, this can only be done temporarily.

Out of the general manager's office, Tang Tian looked back at the closed door.

I don't know why, he always feels that the relationship with Morey is just like the one before him.
