The Godfather of Basketball

"Are you sure the Kings have no interest in Thomas?" Tang Tian looked at Jones.

In previous lives, the Kings' No. 60 pick was acquired in a deal with the Bulls. Now history has changed and the No. 60 pick belongs to the Cavaliers.

If Beverly was still on the team, he was going to trade up the draft to select Itovain Moore, a three-pointer. A point guard, then Isaiah Thomas is the most appropriate choice.

"Yes, this one is called Isaiah Thomas. Except that the name is the same as 'Smiling Assassin', there is nothing worthy of the team to choose him." Dante said.

"Yes, it's a smiling assassin. He really recommends this small player in front of the media, but he is only 1.75 meters. This height can't really play the NBA level game." Victor also added.

"His father, James Thomas, is a loyal Lakers fan. He named his son Isaiah Thomas after losing a bet with others, but in fact, his name is Isaiah Thomas, his Height is indeed a problem, but his breakthrough is very lethal, "Jones said.

His initial thoughts were similar to those of Dante, but these Tang Tian and his affairs, he checked to confirm, is completely true.

What's more coincident is that Thomas Washington, where Thomas is, once played a 1.75 NBA player, "Little Potato" Nate Robinson.

Sometimes fate is so strange. Tang Tian's draft vision can always find some players that others have overlooked.

"Height is not everything. Ai led the era of small men, but before that, Boykins and Nate Robinson had left a small fortune in the league." Tang Tian said.

He said, Dante and Victor both looked down.

They do have some preconceptions, just like the skin. In basketball, height is always lowered automatically.

The second round of the draft went very fast, just like Dante's. Until the 59th overall Bulls made their selection, Thomas was still not drafted.

The attitude of most people in the Cavaliers cabin is also the league's attitude towards small players.

In fact, a large part of the reason why the Kings drafted Thomas in the past is also the recommendation of the "Smiling Assassin". They did not give much hope to this player in the draft.

After all, Iverson is still 183, 8 centimeters is an insurmountable gully, even Tangy enumerated Boykins and Robinson, nba for so many years, just two people.

"In the second round of the 2011 NBA 60th pick, the Cavaliers chose Isaiah Thomas, a 1.75 point guard from Washington University."

Unlike in previous years, it is not Stern's assistant Tatum who is responsible for broadcasting the second round of the draft. It is Adam Shaw, vice president of the league. He read the Cavaliers' final choice.

The fans at the scene were almost gone, but there was still a small man standing up excitedly in the audience, took the hat handed over by the staff and walked onto the field.

Xiao Hua didn't seem to think that Thomas would be on the scene, and smiled after a moment's glance.

At this time, the reporter was gone, and the handshake with Thomas was just a form, and even the picture of the two shaking hands was not left.

Thomas stepped off the field and kept a smile on his face.

For him, he has been despised from the beginning of playing basketball. He is even ready to lose. The Cavaliers selected him in the last place, and he is excited enough.

But just when he stepped down, he saw a group of people waiting for him.

The person headed by him knows that NBA's well-known dynasty godfather, Tang Tian, ​​general manager and head coach of the Cavaliers!

"Hey, Isaiah, welcome to you." Tang Tian smiled and reached out to Thomas.

What he couldn't do in the hut in the past was that in his past life, Thomas hit the peak of the short player and was selected to the All-Star with a height of 1.75 meters.

The strongest on the ground is 1.75 meters, which is one of the most inspirational stories, and also the biggest affirmation of fans to him.

Thomas was very excited, so many people greeted him together, the battle was really a bit big.

"coach!"

He couldn't hide the smile on his face and hugged Tang Tian and the draft team one by one.

"Get ready, I'll wait to see your performance in the summer league." Tang Tian finally fists forward.

"I'm ready at all times." Thomas and Tang Tian hit their punches in a firm voice.

After chatting with Thomas, a group of people finally left the draft venue.

After drafting Thomas, the Cavaliers' roster has changed a lot from last season.

After Wallace won the championship last year, he prepared with the team management to retire.

In fact, since he chose to renew his base salary in the offseason last season, he estimates that he has already planned this.

As for Brown and Iverson, they both chose to test the free agent market. The former is definitely going to get a big contract, and the latter has gone through last season ~ www.readwn.com ~ I also want to take it at the end of my career A contract.

Because the Cavaliers' salary has exceeded the luxury tax, renewal of the two is equivalent to double spending, the basic salary is acceptable, and no more Gilbert would agree.

In this way, the Cavaliers' new season roster is basically released.

Point guards: Paul, Jeremy Lin, Isaiah Thomas

Shooting guards: Green, Butler, Stephenson

Small forwards: James, Artest, Chandler Parsons

Power forwards: Anderson Varejao, Channing Frye

Centers: Yao Ming, Hassan Whiteside

As long as two big men are added to the free agent market, the new season lineup is basically complete.

Tang Tianjia, the three giants, the core of iron, and the role players in circulation.

And probably only Tang Tian knows how scary this lineup will be in the next few years.

Butler and Whiteside are players who can grow into All-Stars.

"There is news that the new labor agreement may cancel the special clauses. The Wizards are preparing to pardon Antoine Jamison before July 1." On the car back to the hotel, Jones told Tang Tian the first-hand information he had just obtained. .

"Follow me." Tang Tian was also slightly excited.

Jamison is 35 years old, but in the previous life, he can still average 17 + 6 next season. He was also in the Cavaliers at that time. Now history has changed. Jamison is still in the Wizards. This is obviously to make room for young players. Location.

Jamison is the standard space power forward, and the defense is very good, perfect for the Cavaliers.

Although it is not possible to receive it directly because it exceeds the luxury tax, as long as the clarification period has passed, it is worthwhile to use the mini middle class.
