The Godfather of Basketball

The interesting thing is that James once again played superb data, averaging 40.2 points, 10.7 rebounds and 7.8 assists per game.

What's more interesting is that 70% of the fans voted for James FMVP.

However, in the final result, Iguodala of the Warriors narrowly won by 2 votes. After Carter and Harden, he became another player who won the FMVP award as a substitute.

This result is very interesting. Tang Tian doesn't know whether the FMVP result has been changed as it was two years ago. He just thinks that this Warriors team will be really difficult.

Not only strength, but also the luck of this body, it is estimated that it can also top the upper half of the system.

The Warriors won the final championship, and the 2014-2015 NBA season finally came to an end.

At the end of the season, on Forbes' latest team market value list, the Warriors' market value also reached 1.8 billion.

Because of the consecutive acquisitions of the Clippers and the Nets, the market value of each team has increased significantly compared to the previous life.

This is a good thing for Tang Tian.

Swift held 20% of the shares in the Warriors. Later, she married Tang Tian. Because there was no precedent in the NBA, the NBA officials did not order Swift to sell her shares.

But there was no shortage of official private instructions, and the pressure on Tang Tian's side was almost too much to bear.

In other words, if the Nets make it to the finals this year, the problem will be really big.

So selling is the way to go, and this wave of appreciation of the Warriors can be regarded as a profit for Tang Tian.

Lart and Tang Tian also met recently. In addition to enhancing their relationship on a daily basis, the third owner of the team also revealed a piece of information to him. Because of the increase in the team's market value, his company's board of directors has also raised the value of their hands. price.

The previous selling price of 1.4 billion is already dead, and now the new selling price is 1.52 billion.

The rapid growth rate made Tang Tian feel pressured. It seems that time really waits for no one.

But before considering the acquisition plan, because the draft is coming soon, he still has to focus on this one.

The Nets have a total of 3 draft picks this year, and the Suns' pick has been finalized through the lottery meeting. Like the previous life, they are all 13 picks.

This result was actually beyond Tang Tian's expectations. You must know that when he made the transaction, he was prepared to pay some other price, which was the same as in his previous life, but it saved him a lot of trouble.

In addition to the 13th pick, the pick from the Blazers was finally determined to be the 23rd pick.

In the second round, what they have is the Suns, with the 13th pick in the second round and the 43rd overall pick.

2015 is not considered a draft year, but Tang Tian knew that this was the most underestimated draft in recent years.

The Nets will also have a lot to gain in this draft.

Before the draft, Tang Tian also sorted out the team roster.

Last season's 15-man roster.

Point guards: Deron, Livingston, Tyler Johnson

Shooting Guard: Bogdan Bogdanovic, McGrady, Will Barton

Small forwards: Joe Johnson, Bojan Bogdanovic, Jonathan Simmons

Power forwards: Yi Jianlian, Lavoy Allen, Mike Scott

Center: Jokic, Pralim, Oden

Among them, the contracts of Yi Jianlian, Will Barton, Lavoy Allen, Mike Scott and Oden have all expired.

Tracy McGrady and Livingston still have one-year contracts.

Looking at the list, Tang Tian also began to make a rough plan for the new season.

To make a change, Joe Johnson still needs to be sent away first. His average performance of 13.6 points and 4.6 rebounds in the playoffs last season was not very good, but the competitive state he showed still made him no longer trade like he did in his previous life Not moving, the biggest possibility is that it will be matched with draft picks or one or two young players.

After sending away Joe Johnson and before Yi Jianlian renewed his contract, the Nets had more than 30 million salary space, which was enough for them to sign a top-salary player and a high-quality role player in the free market.

The Nets' game of chess has been completely revitalized after a season.

Delonga's unknown top-salary player, Jokic, is the trident of the Nets, supplemented by Yi Jianlian and a group of role players, counting Tang Tian's goal in the draft, the rise of the Nets will really be Faster than anyone imagined.

With a preliminary plan in place, Tang Tian called Jones and started connecting with the teams.

"Is it necessary to send Joe Johnson away, even if it is a young player of Bo Yang's level?" Jones confirmed to Tang Tian.

Tang Tian nodded. Except for Jokic, other young players can be replaced, but Johnson is the source of all plans, and it is useless to send everything away.

Jones probably knew it, and then talked about the draft.

"I think Kyle Oubre and Sam Decker are more suitable for us. If we trade away Joe, our small forward needs to be supplemented by new players, and Decker can also make up for the vacancy of our power forward."

"Well, these two are very good rookies, but the matter of the draft will wait until the scene. This year's draft is equally important to us, so I don't want to make any mistakes before then." Tang Tian said quite bluntly.

Jones didn't mind either. He knew Tang Tian's character. The two had worked together for so many years, and Tang Tian also had the same attitude before the draft last year. As a result, the selection of Jokic really surprised everyone. In terms of attitude, maybe it will bring a new cornerstone to the team.

In the past, following Tang Tianhun, I felt that everything was going well, but now it is obviously rebuilding, but I still feel that the future is bright.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it has arrived at the draft.

On June 26, like last year, this year's draft will still be held at the Nets' home stadium, the Barclays Center Arena.

In the home draft, after Tang Tian entered the Nets, he was spared the hard work of traveling and traveling.

The day before the draft, the teams started formal contact, and the Nets immediately put Joe Johnson on the shelves.

Because the contract is as high as 24.89 million US dollars, although it is the last year, there are not many teams making inquiries.

In other words, this contract is too big. Unless there is a very generous return, even a bad team will have to weigh it.

Tang Tian is not in a hurry for the time being. If it really doesn't work, he will use this year's draft right.

Before the arrival of the free market, he was still calm.

On the evening of June 26, the Barclays Center was full of people, but this time they came not for the game, but for the annual draft.

Tang Tian ran into his old subordinates again outside the draft hut, but compared to last year, they were not in a very good mood.

Thibodeau felt that his hairline was leaning back a little more. The Bulls were out in the first round, and there was not much time left for him.

Stevens is also battered, and has stopped in the Western Conference Finals year after year. His pressure is greater than anyone else.

Only Cole is proud of himself.

"Tang, I will work hard to finish what you have done." Like Tang Tian, ​​he won the championship when he debuted, and his jokes with Tang Tian with a smile were full of confidence.
