After drinking, drinking, chatting, this is a completely different style than the meeting a few days ago.

To be honest, it doesn’t look like a meeting, it’s just a meal.

This should also be the atmosphere that should be there. The Spurs are the parent team, and what they need to negotiate is not a contract, but whether they will match the contract.

"Dang, three-year poison contract, Greg and I have already talked about, and we have the ability to convince management to agree."

Buford spoke to Tang Tian.

He is now the person under the most pressure from the Spurs.

“I’ve met with several other teams and they all offer four years of contract.”

Tang Tian did not hide it either. He knew that Leonard had an unpleasant quarrel with the Spurs in his previous life.

If he really wanted to leave, he didn't want to leave that way.

He chose to communicate frankly, which is his way to maximize his interests. If the Spurs are willing to invest a lot, then they will go there and leave with decent if they are unwilling.

"Do you want to be the core of the team?"

Popovich put down his red wine glass at this time and looked at Tang Tianwen.

Tang Tian nodded.

After all, Popovich has coached in the NBA for more than 20 years and has guessed what he thinks.

In fact, he should also think that if he doesn't serve as the core, Tang Tian really has no reason to leave the Spurs.

Popovich didn't say anything anymore, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

"You are not the core of your ball holding ability now, you need time." After a long time, Popovich said.

"I have confidence, old man." Tang Tian replied calmly.

Popovich was stunned for a moment.

"I knew you were like this for a long time. I knew when I signed a rookie contract."

After a while, he smiled bitterly and nodded.

Seeing Popovich's reaction, Tang Tian felt uncomfortable.

After staying in the Spurs for two years, he had feelings for both Popovich, Duncan and Ginobili's teammates.

Especially for older people like him, the emotional level is the saddest.

"Tim told me about his desire to retire early. He said that if he retires early, the team will have enough salary space to sign you."

Buford spoke at this time.

Tang Tian was stunned after hearing this, and then couldn't help but giggle.

Duncan is always so untalking, but he always chooses to give silently behind his back.

Why did he have such a teammate?

"Old man, if the Spurs are willing to match the four-year contract, I'm willing to wait two more years, but the premise is that Tim will retire in two years."

Tang Tian said.

He didn't want Duncan to retire early because of himself.

In the end, he became emotional and disrupted his previous overall plan.

"good."

Popovich looked at Tang Tian and nodded.

This meeting took place faster than expected, because of Duncan and Tang Tian's compromise.

Various oral agreements are constantly breaking out in the free agent market, and they are unable to sign formal contracts until the end of the July freeze period.

During these days, Tang Tian met with the Rockets, Mavericks and Pelicans to decide which team to sign with in the end.

The content discussed in the second meeting was more detailed and in-depth.

And in this process, Tang Tian also asked a question with a half-joking nature.

"Can I participate in the decisions of the team's management? If I help the team enter the playoffs, or go further."

This is a very sensitive issue, especially since he is still a role player.

So he just said it in a half-joking way.

"Your humorous cell is pretty good." This is Morey's answer.

"Ah haha." This is Cuban's reaction.

"If you can do it, there's nothing wrong with it." Here's Benson's reply.

After knowing the responses of the three teams, Tang Tianxin had basically had the answer.

In fact, when the three teams have their own advantages and disadvantages, he can go anywhere, but this semi-joking topic is something he must do in the future.

He has been watching the show on the wall for two consecutive years, and he can no longer help it.

And more importantly, he is not like the kind of person who plays hard but is dragged down by the management.

Moreover, he is a time traveler, and the effect he can have on management intervention is completely different from James.

On July 11, Tang Tian made the final decision after the NBA freezing period ended.

He asked Feigan to contact the Mavericks and the Rockets first, and then he finally called Dell Demps himself.

He will sign a bid contract with the Pelicans.

Shortly after Tang Tian contacted Demps, Demps met Tang Tian.

The two parties signed the contract soon.

Demps also took a photo and posted a personal tweet.

"The Pelicans' Future, Don and AD."

Soon, Woj also followed up with the report. Tang accepted a four-year contract worth about 40 million for the Pelicans. The starting salary for this contract is 5 million, and the maximum salary for the next two years.

As soon as the news of the signing broke out, it exploded on social media.

"I read it right! My big Pelicans finally stood out?!"

"This decision was really surprising. I thought Don would definitely go to Houston!"

"Yes, the Rockets are best at cultivating Chinese players! By the way, they have been so miserable this summer. They have not pursued Howard, nor have they pursued Tang..."

"I also find it strange. Even if I don't go to Houston, at least I should go to Dallas, Texas is tax-free!"

"It's okay, we're used to it, Dallas offseason forever empty-handed Mavericks."

"Does anyone know the science of the Football Emperor? Why did he choose the Pelicans in the end? Because there are New Orleans roasted wings there?"

"New Orleans don't have New Orleans baked wings! As Pelicans fans, I think Don't have the right choice. We already have AD as the inside core. If Don comes again, he will be the Gemini. Coupled with Holiday and Gordon, they will return to the playoffs in the new season!"

"By the way, are you making Tang Kai too high? He is just a system player from the Spurs. How could he be the core of the team!"

"Yes, if I were Tang, I would definitely pray that the Spurs would match the contract, otherwise if the Pelicans really went, the data would shrink significantly. This might be the first and last big contract in my career!"

"Tang is going to become Tang. Isn't it a matter of no doubt in my heart?"

"Why are there so many dark guys suddenly? Tang is in the second grade! Kobe was still playing as a substitute when he was in the second grade? He has already won two championships!"

"I have to mention Durant's system players, and that has indeed been proven enough. Tang, as a system player, cannot do without the Spurs."

"Will the Spurs match the contract?!"

"Who knows this, but it should be a result soon. According to regulations, the parent team decides whether to match the contract at most 72 hours, and wait and see the show!"

...

ps: My original plan was to finish the final result today, but as I wrote it, I found that there was another chapter. Well, the next chapter, the next chapter is the final result. Sorry.
Chapter completed!
