Tang Tian didn't know how the sound insulation of this small detached house had been thought, if it was not good, then I believe that the neighbor next door must have enjoyed some benefits.

Seductive cries.

Hathaway was engaged and crazy.

Things between men and women, when you experience more, you need emotions and taste.

A female assistant who is not worse than herself is like a trigger that stimulates all this.

Tang Tian also worked hard to cultivate.

When everything was calm, Hathaway lay limply on top of him, and he was sweating profusely.

Oh my God, it's so hot in June.

……

Early the next morning, Tang Tian arrived at the office of the stadium.

Although he is named as president and general manager, he is still a coach, so when he works, he is still in the coach's office.

The city is as small as the city because the team is new, and the stadium is new, and the Chesapeake Energy Field (formerly known as the Ford Center) was built in 2002 and renovated in 2008 at a cost of 120 million.

(Note: The Quick Loan Arena is an old arena, and the reason why I applied for All-Star several times was unsuccessful was because the stadium was too old.) ）

Tang Tian's office is larger than that in Cleveland, and it is much newer, and people working in it will be much more comfortable.

There was no one on the coaching staff and the management team, so he called a meeting temporarily, and there were only 4 people in total.

He, Jones, Mick Bernard, the team's head of operations, and Manning Joseph, the team's chief scout.

The Thunder had the third-best record in the league last season, holding the 28th pick in the first round and the 58th pick in the second round.

Thunder's current lineup:

Point guards: Westbrook (13.67 million), Reggie Jackson (1.24 million)

Shooting guard: Sofrosa (3.6 million)

Small forwards: Durant (15.15 million), Daquain Cook (3.09 million)

Power Forward: Nick Collison (2.93 million)

Center: Perkins (7.8 million)

(Note: Harden, Ibaka, Meno, Cole Aldridge, and Raza Hayward are all team options and will not be counted until the team has been executed.) ）

7 people have guaranteed contracts, with a total salary of 47.48 million, and there is still room for 22.82 million from the luxury tax of 70.3 million.

The reality is similar to the previous life, Ibaka and Harden are both in their fourth year of rookie, and if they don't renew their contracts early, they will become restricted free agents next summer, and other teams can make offers, and staying at that time will be a big problem.

The difference from the previous life is that because Durant did not enjoy the Rose clause, this space is 1.52 million more than in the previous life.

If Cook's contract is disposed of, the space will reach 25.91 million, which is also the situation encountered by the Thunder in the previous life, this space needs to renew Harden and Ibaka at the same time, and the virtual base salary must be considered.

Because of the monopoly of power, in fact, this meeting is actually Tang Tian explaining things to them.

"Case, Ibaka and Harden contract extension negotiations should start as soon as possible, try to negotiate, but the goal is to keep the two."

Jones nodded, although he was new to the team, but after last season's Finals, he knew how important these two were to the team.

"Wait until July 1st, put Perkins and Cook on the shelves, as long as you can get him clean, the reward is secondary."

"Trade Perkins?" Bernard came as a surprise as Perkins was the starting center, and the team paid for Jeff Green and Kostic in a trade for him, and the team just signed a contract extension last year.

"Well, he's no longer suitable for the development of basketball now, trading him is mainly for salary space to sign other free agents, if no one really wants it, let's pardon it next year."

(Note: The new collective bargaining agreement stipulates that the ad hoc clause only applies to players who signed contracts before July 1, 2011, and Perkins and the Thunder signed an early contract extension on March 1, 2011.) ）

Bernard listened to Tang Tiandu's pardon and knew that Perkinster would definitely not stay on the Thunder team for too long, so he nodded and didn't ask any more.

"Case, with the No. 57 pick, we still need to strengthen the inside line."

"Understood." Jones nodded.

The plan I did for the Cavaliers before, because of my departure, was also brought to the Thunder team.

"Also, Mick, you're not in touch with the teams, and if possible, we're going to trade up for first-round picks."

Bernard nodded.

"The next point is to discuss who we pick with the No. 28 pick, and I have a few options here, Draymond Green, Chris Middleton, Will Barton, Jae Crowder, and tell us what you think."

"These guys' drafts are currently in the second round." Chief scout Joseph spoke.

Tang Tian nodded.

"I think Perry Jones at Baylor University is good, he's very physical, he's known as the 'new Maddie' in high school, and he's doing really well in college." Bernard spoke.

"Jones has a very serious knee injury, and he won't be in the NBA for long, so let's talk about the ones I just mentioned." Tang Tian waved his hand.

Although the meeting called for freedom and democracy, after all, he is a traverser, and he is the president, there is no need for such a one-sided discussion, all he needs now is some suggestions.

"I think Jay Crowder is a good fit, he's a swingman who can be Kevin's backup and a talent pool for the No. 2 position." Joseph reacted quickly and continued.

"I think there's still good role players in the free agent market this summer, like Delfino, Petrus, James Anderson, etc., and we can consider selecting a potential player, as this team has done in the last few years, so I think we can consider Will Barton." Bernard continued.

His proposal is also what the Thunder have done for the past few years, recruiting potential rookies.

Tang Tian finally looked at Jones.

"Personally, I think Middleton is more suitable than Crowder, although his defensive ability is not as good as Crowder, but he has a longer arm span, more scoring efficiency, and is very accurate in three-point shooting, and with a height of 2.01 meters, he can be both a starting No. 2 and a substitute at No. 3." Jones went on to say that because Tang Tian had already explained to him about the draft before, he would think more about this aspect.

Three people, three different opinions, each person considers different directions and angles.

Tang Tian didn't make a decision immediately after hearing this, but he had a basic direction.

The current Thunder team, as in the previous life, will definitely not work by hoarding outstanding rookies to change the ball to maintain space, that is, combat power is the first consideration.

"What do you think of Draymond Green?" Tang Tian opened his mouth and said.

Although no one mentioned it, Green is still his first choice, after all, compared to the previous ones, Green has a higher growth in the small-ball era.

Although in his previous life, Kerr began to shine in his rookie third year, but referring to Jimmy Butler of the Cavaliers, no one knows if Green will accelerate his growth.
