The Godfather of Basketball

Vol 2 Chapter 438: James applies for a deal! (Mon / Thu!)

After the game with the Pacers, the Cavaliers finally ushered in a two-day break.

Tang Tian also gave the team members a half-day vacation, and they did basic training the next afternoon.

"Don, where are you?" The next morning, Tang Tian finally received a call from Gilbert, and his voice sounded a little dumb, as if talking too much, and as if he didn't rest well.

"I'm in the arena's office." Tang Tian answered directly.

Although it was a holiday for the players, because of the uncertainty of James' injury, he had to find a new rotation sequence, so he came to the arena early in the morning.

About half an hour later, Gilbert appeared in Tang Tian's head coach's office.

He came alone.

"Daniel." Tang Tian got up and shook hands with Gilbert.

He still respects Gilbert, who is much better than Alexander before, whether it is for players or management.

"Don, I'm sorry I didn't call you back the first time yesterday." Gilbert said a little apologetically after sitting down.

"It's okay, I know something may have happened." Tang Tian was calm.

"Yes, something happened." Gilber nodded characteristically.

Tang Tian didn't say anything, just looked at Gilbert, and if anything happened, the latter would definitely say it.

"That's it. Rich Paul came to me yesterday, and he talked with me for a long time." Gilbert said a glance at Tang Tian, ​​watching his reaction.

Tang Tian nodded, signalling that he was listening.

He wouldn't be stupid to ask James why he didn't go with him. James had previously turned off his cell phone, and if he appeared at Gilbert's house again, it would be a direct statement and he could not bear it.

And Rich Paul's words, no matter how powerful, is just an agent, he can't really decide what, but just speak for James.

"He talked about James' status in the team and some requirements of Nike." Gilbert said not much, in fact, he also hesitated for a long time to come to Tang Tian to say.

"Nike?" Tang Tian looked at Gilbert with curiosity.

"Yes, Nike intends to sign a lifetime contract with LeBron after the end of his endorsement contract, but they hope LeBron can have a bigger team position with the Cavaliers." Gilbert hesitated for a while.

Tang Tian listened for a moment.

Nike is a real businessman, and everything speaks for benefit.

James was stolen by Paul, and Nike's response was normal.

only.

"What does that have to do with me?" Tang Tian said.

"No, what does that have to do with us?" He added, adding.

Yeah, what does that have to do with him or Gilbert, do they have to think about how James can make more money?

James is great, but in the end it's just a player, and he is the team's head coach and general manager, and Gilbert is the team owner!

Gilbert froze for a moment. He might not have expected Tang Tian to answer like this, but he was silent after listening.

"LeBron is important to the team." After a long time, Gilbert said.

"It's important that the team's general manager and boss need to accommodate him?" Tang Tian's expression was not very good, and this feeling of being dominated was a little uncomfortable.

Gilbert didn't speak again, and he didn't really know when it started. James and the team's contradiction had already accumulated to this extent.

"I don't think even Michael Jordan as a player has this right." Tang Tian continued.

"Intentionally to increase James' team status, can't this be done?" Gilbert didn't continue the previous topic, but asked instead.

In fact, it was probably Tang Tian that he would let him come over here deliberately and change to another coach. From a business perspective, he must have given instructions directly.

"I can't do this. This is a matter of principle. If I really have to do that, I can resign." Tang Tian stood up, he didn't know what Gilbert meant by asking, but he also had his own. dignity.

He needs freedom. The Cavaliers have given him the greatest freedom, but now he tells him that there is a limit to this freedom, so he will not let it go.

To be honest, he is not inferior to Gilbert.

"No, Don, don't get me wrong. I don't mean that. I know how great you are and how important you are to this team. I just ask." Gilbert saw Tang Tian's attitude so firm , Immediately laughed.

He's not stupid, he knows that the Cavaliers can have today's achievements and market, Tang Tian's credit is greater than everyone else.

He's not Alexander, and he won't just do peacemakers.

"Let ’s wait until LeBron comes back from injury. I ’ll talk to him privately. If he still insists on this, the rest will be left to you. You are the general manager of the team. I can guarantee it. Yes, the board will not intervene in this matter again, "Gilbert continued.

This is what he finally said.

Tang Tian sat down again.

"What happened to LeBron's injury, www.readwn.com?" Tang Tian asked.

Hearing Gilbert's meaning, Rich Paul should have been chatting with him for a long time, and he should know more or less.

"I don't know, Rich always avoids this, so I don't know to what extent he hurt." To Tang Tian's surprise, Gilbert seemed completely unaware.

Tang Tian was silent, and he should have guessed what the situation was.

"I will send a request to LeBron's team in the name of the team, asking them to return to the team to be examined by the team doctor. They are still a member of the Cavaliers, and the team has the right to know his specific injuries." He Then go on.

What international joke!

Holding a salary of more than 10 million, but engaging in mysterious injuries and not playing, this is a common practice that is to be fired!

Is this going to repeat the things of previous life Leonard and Spurs?

He's not Popovich's old man.

Gilber nodded characteristically, so dragging really did not seem to be the case.

Ending the conversation with Gilbert, Tang Tian immediately asked Jones to send a team notice to the James team. No matter what situation James encountered, he needed to return to the team for an injury check.

But this did not get a response from the James team.

Communication between the two parties was interrupted, as if suddenly lost contact.

It was also this week that Cavaliers management finally received a response from the James team.

James neither came to the team, nor did his team respond to the Cavaliers' request. Instead, they applied to the team.

They hope the Cavaliers can trade James off the team.
