Chapter 388 Restricted Free Agent Tang Tian (Fourth Change)

"What's up?"

Tang Tian stopped, turned around and asked.

"I have something to tell you."

After Davis finished speaking, he glanced at Walker.

The way Tang Tian looked at him probably meant that he wanted to communicate with himself alone.

After saying hello to Walker, Tang Tian asked him to wait in the car first.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

After Walker left, Tang Tian continued to ask.

"I want you to teach me to win," Davis said.

"ha?"

Tang Tian looked at Davis suspiciously, the words that came out of nowhere were a bit out of date.

He waited for Davis to say the following, but the latter didn't make any extra movements other than staring at him with wide eyes.

This... counts as recruitment?

Tang Tian came to his senses a little bit.

It's just this awkward atmosphere...

If the Pelicans really sent him to recruit, then the person who manages the team should have his head caught in the door.

But the thick eyebrows and big eyes of Davis in front of him are quite cute.

"Are you asking me to go to the Pelicans?"

Tang Tian took the initiative to say.

"Yes, Mr. Demps asked my opinion. He asked me if I would like to play with you. I am very willing. You are a member of the championship and have a super big heart. We will be very compatible."

Davis spoke.

Tang Tian nodded.

"You agree?"

Davis was overjoyed.

puff!

Tang Tian almost vomited blood.

I nodded to let you continue talking!

Don't be so cute, please!

"Go on."

Tang Tian said.

Davis didn't react until he heard what Tang Tian said.

"Coach Williams is also very willing to coach you, and he also played under Popovich, saying that he will be very compatible with you."

Monty Williams also played under Popovich? This is the first time I heard of it.

Davis saw that Tang Tian hadn't responded yet, and then continued.

"Our team is rebuilding. You will get more opportunities than the Spurs. Here you have the opportunity to be an All-Star."

When Davis said this, Tang Tian couldn't help scratching his forehead.

I'm already an All-Star starter brother!

Your lobbying ability is really poor.

"Is there any more?"

Seeing Davis stop, Tang Tian asked.

"I'm done."

Davis shook his head.

"The Pelicans sent you here?"

Tang Tian continued to ask.

"No, I am accompanying Norlens in the draft today, and I happened to see you when I came out just now."

Davis shook his head and said.

Tang Tian nodded after listening.

It's okay to come by yourself, it's just that Davis is a little cute, not that the Pelicans management is really stupid.

"I am still a member of the Spurs. I will be a restricted free agent when they make a qualifying offer, so let's talk about it after the team contacts me. This is about my future career, so I can't give you Answer."

Fearing that Davis would misunderstand him again, Tang Tian continued to speak.

And he probably knows Davis' ability to understand, so to put it bluntly.

"Okay, then I'm waiting to join us with you, Eric and I have been training."

Davis continued.

Tang Tian nodded, indicating that he understood.

After chatting for a few more words, Davis went back to the arena first.

Looking at Davis' tall and thin back, Tang Tian suddenly felt that today was a new acquaintance with Davis.

But Davis' words also made him realize that in the next period of time, he probably won't be able to calm down, and he won't be able to train well.

"what did he say?"

Back in the car, Walker asked curiously.

"What else can I say, worship me, come and get to know me."

Tang Tian said with a smile.

He didn't tell Walker the truth because he was afraid that Walker would start recruiting him again.

The Spurs haven't offered him a qualifying offer yet, and he's still a Spurs player in theory, so he doesn't want to talk about these topics prematurely.

The draft is on June 28th, and there are actually only 3 days before the free market officially opens on July 1st.

After handling the draft conference, the management of each team finally freed up their hands to prepare for the upcoming free agent market.

The next day, Tang Tian received a call from Fagan early in the morning, saying that he had come to San Antonio and had received a qualification offer from the Spurs.

A one-year 1.08 million qualification offer contract, from this moment on, he has officially become a restricted free agent.

The so-called qualification quotation is a one-year guarantee contract issued by the parent team to the players.

The amount of the contract is related to the length of the team, whether the rookie contract has been fulfilled, and the number of years.

But basically it is 125% of the previous year's salary or the league's basic salary + $200,000.

After the offer, the player will officially become a restricted free agent, and the home team will also have the priority to match the player.

For Tang Tian, ​​as long as the Spurs are willing, no matter what contract he negotiates with other teams, he will eventually stay with the Spurs.

While sending this text message to Tang Tian, ​​Fagan also told him that several teams had already contacted him immediately.

In the new labor-management agreement in 2011, there are regulations on NBA free agents and team contact.

"A free agent can negotiate with a team at any time during the July freeze period, and after the July freeze period ends, they can sign a formal contract with any team."

The regulations are clearly written. Before the freeze period begins at 0:00 on July 1, the team must not negotiate with the players.

But for each team, words are always at their disposal.

The so-called negotiation is a word that is difficult to define.

The league's consistent bottom line is that as long as NBA teams and free agents don't start negotiations about contract details and the like, that's not crossing the line.

Therefore, it is very common for a team to contact Feigen at this time, and it is not even considered a violation.

Like.

"Hey, Dan, I'm throwing a party, come with Don."

Another example.

"Hey, Dan, we are interested in signing Tang, we don't talk about the contract, we talk about ideals and the future."

some type of.

Anyway, it's impossible for you to know what they are doing, so the alliance can't control it if it wants to.

This is why there are clearly regulations, but at 0 o'clock on July 1st, a large number of verbal signings will burst out immediately.

Tang Tian met Fei Gen in the apartment, and Fei Gen also gave Tang Tian the list of teams that had contacted him.

Lakers, Rockets, Bobcats, Pelicans, Eagles, Mavericks, Cavaliers.

There are a total of 7 teams, four of which were rumored during the regular season last year, and the remaining three are newcomers.

Of course, this is certainly not all. Poison contracts require salary space.

Some teams, such as the Clippers and the Heat, which are psychologically shadowed by him, probably want him very much, but they have no salary space.

It's hard to think about a deal flip, and they're not going to take the risk of doing it without a commitment.
