The Godfather of Basketball

Vol 2 Chapter 816: List of 15 people for the new season (four / four!)

After signing Anthony, the Nets lineup is complete.

Point guards: Irving, Murray, Sexton

Shooting guards: Butler, Mitchell, Wade

Small forwards: George, Tucker, Porter, Ding Yan Yuhang

Power forwards: Anthony, Yi Jianlian, Kuzma

Centers: Jokic, Mitchell Robinson

A 15-man roster with good starting and bench strengths in all positions.

The inside line seems to be a little lacking in thickness, but Yi Jianlian will appear more in the fifth position. Tucker and Ding Yanyu Hang can also swing to the fourth position. In addition, the small ball era often played one big four and small, which is enough. of.

The only problem is the luxury tax.

When the previous 12 players were on the list, the Nets had to pay close to 50 million. After signing Anthony, the team overtaxed 22 million. According to the luxury tax calculation rules, 3.75 times the luxury tax, which is 82.5 million.

Anthony, Wade and Ding Yan Yuhang are equal to making the Nets more than 30 million extra luxury tax.

Although the Nets have developed rapidly in recent years, Tang Tian cannot afford such a luxury tax payment.

He owns Tang Tian, ​​but after all, he is not a billionaire like Prokhorov and Ballmer.

Yi Jianlian will definitely not move anymore. The only player who can trade is Tucker. Tucker has a contract of 11.5 million and a two-year contract. It is a standard high-quality forward 3D and a standard player for the winning team.

However, after the Nets traded to George last season, his positioning has declined.

This brings in Anthony, and with the training of Potter, his status will only decline further.

In this case, trading him to a championship team is a good choice for both sides.

As before, Tang Tian talked to Tucker before making this decision.

Tucker's attitude is not the same as that of Yi Jianlian. Although he was a member of the Thunder, he still valued playing time and team status, which can be seen from his choice to leave the Thunder to join the Nets.

After chatting with Tucker, the latter is more interested in joining the Rockets.

The Rockets lost Ariza and missed Anthony. Now the front line is very scarce. He might have started in the past.

Tucker wanted to go, Tang Tian also let Jones do his best to arrange, after all, he has not helped the team over the past two years.

And to strengthen the Rockets' strength is also a drain on the Warriors, which is also beneficial from a strategic perspective.

Tang Tian explained, Jones soon went to the rock.

The Rockets expressed strong interest in the Nets proposal.

Now, the functions of Jemike Green and Tucker in their team are very similar, but their ability is a lot worse. If they change, it will be an obvious upgrade.

And Green's contract (8 million) is similar to Tucker's, and it only needs to be added to make it work.

However, the Nets were originally designed to avoid taxes, and they all got little interest from Green.

This means that a third party is needed.

The Grizzlies quickly came into view on both sides, and they needed a forward to help Jaren Jackson Jr. grow.

And unlike the Nets and Rockets, they still have about 9 million space away from the salary cap, which can be done directly using transaction exceptions.

After the three parties sat down at the negotiating table, they quickly achieved their respective goals.

After the three parties basically reached an agreement, oj followed up the details of the transaction the next day.

The Nets sent PJ Tucker, who got an exceptional deal worth 8 million, Luke Richard Barmot (newly signed at the end of the year) and a second round sign from the Grizzlies future.

The Rockets sent Bamort, Jem Michael Green, and PJ Tucker.

The Grizzlies sent 8 million trade exceptions and future second round picks to get Jeremy Green.

From the return of the three parties and return, the Rockets are obviously the most profitable, which is also consistent with Morey's character.

However, the first goal of the Nets to make this transaction was to avoid taxes. After the transaction took place, their ultra-luxury tax became about 12 million. According to the rules, they paid 2.5 times the tax, which is about 30 million US dollars. This is a range that Tang Tian can still accept.

And Bamoot is also a very good defensive player, which will help the team.

After the transactions are completed one after another, the work of the Nets' new season is basically over.

At this moment, Leonard's time finally settled. After sending Leonard and Danny Green, the Spurs got DeRozan and Jacob Perlter from the Raptors trade, and A protected first round pick for 2019.

Time flies, and in August, Tang Tian returned to China.

He has hired a professional manager in the management of Liaoning Basketball, which is directly connected to the basketball school. In addition to the youth training that has been focused on training, the domestic players in Liaoning Basketball are very strong. In addition, this season the team will sign the power of the Nets last season. Leigh Reed, the new season has the impact of the championship strength.

Tang Tian also specially met Guo Ailun, Zhao Jiwei and He Tianju this time. In the future, the team may still invite them to participate in the summer league.

Their strength may not impact the NBA, but if they receive professional training in the United States, their own strength will be greatly improved.

Liaoning basket, basketball school, training camp all took a turn. Tang Tian finally went to Ma's tea house.

The place is in the same place, except that Ma is now much more laid back than before.

When Mr. Ma went to the championship-winning ceremony ~ www.readwn.com ~, he had already talked about the repo, but this time it was just a matter of signing a form.

The effort of drinking a couple of cups of tea was basically done.

45% of the shares, sold close to 1.5 billion, which is also the value of the Nets now, has been approaching super giants like New York, Los Angeles.

After signing, Tang Tian also officially realized 100% of the Nets and Barclays Center's full shareholding.

Mr. Ma also made a lot of money in this investment, which is a win-win situation.

Looking at Tang Tian's signature, Mr. Ma could not help but smile and said, "In the end, you still haven't touched the 2% stake."

2%, naturally refers to 2% of Ali. Now the value is estimated to be close to 10 billion. Tang Tian clenches his teeth until now and definitely makes money.

After signing, and sitting and drinking tea for half an afternoon, Tang Tian set off for the next day and returned to the United States.

The roster for the new season has been set, the lineup looks very good, and it is time for the team to enter the preparations in advance.

He returned to China at the end of August. Most of the core of the team are still on vacation, but Ding Yan Yuhang, Mitchell Robinson, Murray, Sexton and other newcomers and marginalists have already begun training early.

What surprised him was Mitchell. Mitchell, who had just shared the best rookie with Simmons, also came to the training hall early, and specialized in passing with Rogers' help.

Seeing this scene Tang Tian is still very pleased.

Not only is Mitchell strong, but it's not just talking.

He played on the team last season as the team's sixth man, and he just had to focus on scoring, but he was obviously not satisfied with this.

Practising his passing is the key to going further. It seems that he himself is quite clear.
