Chapter 339 Trading rumors (910, pink setting sun trumpet rewards plus more)

Tang Tian's answer was very official, even a bit polite, but it immediately aroused heated discussions among fans and the media.

Although he did not give a positive answer, he did not deny the possibility of leaving the Spurs!

But this is actually Tang Tian's true thoughts.

The reason why he said that, instead of telling some falsehoods to show his loyalty, was because he felt it was unnecessary.

Because the future free market itself is full of many uncertainties.

If he really showed his loyalty, but left the Spurs in the end, it would actually become someone hacking his information.

So, he chose to tell the truth.

Back in San Antonio, Popovich opened a bottle of 90-year-old red wine, and dragged Tang Tian to chat in the coach's office.

"Don't worry about the fact that you were asked to play as a substitute before, that is a new rule set by the team."

After drinking for a while, Popovich spoke.

"During the game against the Rockets? Father, I forgot about it."

When Popovich mentioned this, Tang Tian probably guessed that he came to him because of what he said in the previous interview.

"I have been coaching in San Antonio for 22 years, 6 years as an assistant coach, 16 years as a head coach. This city is really great, and the culture here, in this business league, it is a rare quiet place."

What Popovich said next also confirmed Tang Tian's conjecture.

"Yes, old man, I like this city, I like your coaching style, and I like playing with Tim and Manu."

Tang Tian also spoke his mind to Duncan.

"Haha, that's good, don't worry about the contract, I will try my best to get it done."

Popovich smiled and picked up his glass.

What he wanted was actually Tang Tian's words.

Tang Tian also picked up the wine glass, and the two drunkards clinked glasses and drank it down in one gulp.

After drinking, Tang Tian returned to the apartment and lay on the bed with a lot of thoughts in his head.

The Spurs can offer him the maximum contract, and judging from the All-Star votes and endorsements, he doesn't need a big city to boost his popularity.

So staying here is a very good choice.

But he really doesn't want to think about these things now. After all, as a restricted free agent, the future is not entirely up to him.

The more he thought about it, the less sleepy he became. He simply took out his phone and started planning another important thing.

This year's All-Star Game will take place on February 16 at the Toyota Center in Houston.

On February 16, in addition to being the opening day of the All-Star Game, this day is also Olsen's birthday.

After the relationship was formally established, she could no longer act as if she hadn't seen it like before.

So you have to be well prepared.

Time has entered February, and the All-Star Game is getting closer and closer.

In addition to being constantly asked by reporters whether he would like to play for other teams, Tang Tian also received an invitation to the league's three-point shooting contest again.

But he refused.

For things like individual competitions, it is enough to win the championship once.

He doesn't need to rely on this kind of honor to make a living, so several consecutive championships are not very attractive to him.

This year, he will basically only play in the Rookie Game and the All-Star Game.

Fans are looking forward to the All-Star weekend, but the management of each team is busy with the upcoming trade deadline.

This year's trade deadline is different from last season's suspension season. It is February 22, which is the fourth day after the end of the All-Star Weekend.

Therefore, the words of the All-Stars are destined to be accompanied by various rumors.

Because the league is working hard to implement the new luxury tax policy, this year's rumors are much less than in previous years.

Among them, two of the four-team deals in the summer, the Magic and the Lakers, became the core of the rumors.

Because the transaction value of the protected draft picks obtained from the transaction is constantly decreasing, the Magic began to pin their hopes on young players and are trying to "exchange money" with other teams.

The Lakers once had rumors that they were worried that Howard would trade Howard if he did not renew his contract next year.

However, this rumor was quickly denied, and soon there were rumors that the Lakers were targeting the Suns' small forward PJ Tucker.

In addition to the Magic and the Lakers, the Kings, Rockets and Knicks are the three most active teams.

The Kings have completely given up on their roster and started offloading various young players.

The Rockets continued to make minor repairs in order to hit the playoffs.

After the Knicks achieved unexpectedly good results, they began to try to strengthen.

Basically, it's all small fights.

But just the day before the start of the All-Star Game, a piece of news that broke out quickly became the focus of fans' attention.

According to Woj, the Rockets made a trade proposal to the Spurs. They used Chandler Parsons to offer Tang Tian, ​​but the Spurs rejected it.

As a second-year rookie, Parsons averaged 15.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1 steal per game this season, shooting 48.6% from the field and 38.5% from three-point range.

His statistics are second only to Harden in the Rockets, and he is not much worse than Tang Tian, ​​and he has also shown very good potential as a second-year student.

In addition, he signed a 4-year child labor contract with the Rockets, and the transaction value is very high.

Because he will face the issue of contract renewal next year, maybe Tang Tian only has half a year left in the Spurs, and the Rockets traded Parsons with a 4-year contract but was rejected.

This can only show that the Spurs attach great importance to Tang Tian, ​​and they are also confident in keeping Tang Tian next year.

Woj's news is very reliable. The Rockets made this move, which shows that they can't wait for next summer.

Alexander is trying to copy Yao Ming's legend!

One stone caused a thousand waves, which also showed that in the hands of the managers of the teams, Tang Tian's market value was very high.

During this period of time, the biggest headache belongs to Spurs general manager RC Buford.

Holt's order is very dead, that is, it cannot exceed the luxury tax.

In the eyes of this boss who sold tractors, can you compare to Duncan no matter how good you are Tang Tian and your potential?

Moreover, Tang Tian is not the only young man in the team. Leonard and Green also have great potential.

Even really counting, Tang Tian is just a top 3D who can pass the ball, and the upper limit is only a championship puzzle.

So regarding Tang Tian's matter, it is his bottom line not to exceed the luxury tax.

In terms of the trading market, because the Spurs are defending the title, it is impossible for Buford to move the team.

This means that all the pressure will be concentrated until next summer.

He now feels like an ant on a hot pot, and he might lose his position as the general manager of the team.

On February 14th, there were only two days left before the start of the All-Star game. Amid rumors flying everywhere, Tang Tian, ​​Leonard and Duncan got on the board together and headed to Houston to participate in the 62nd NBA All-Star Game.

Tang Tian is the All-Star starter, and Duncan is the All-Star substitute.

As far as Leonard is concerned, he failed to participate in the All-Star Weekend last year. This year, he has improved significantly and will participate in the All-Star Rookie Game as a sophomore.
