NBA’s aging star system

Chapter 17 The deal is concluded

Life is impermanent, the large intestine wraps the small intestine.

Su Tian originally thought that his draft was rough enough, but he didn't expect it to be even rougher. He had just lamented what happened to Wiggins in the draft, and now it was his turn.

"Bill, where did I get traded?" Su Tian didn't care anymore. Anyway, I have a system. What should I be afraid of? It would only be two years later to win the championship.

"It's the Cleveland Cavaliers, but the deal hasn't been reached yet, they've just given a verbal commitment. They seem to be making some big moves, so don't talk about it in public for the next two days."

"Knight?!" Su Tian really didn't expect that the day before, he was still dreaming about the beautiful life in Los Angeles, and he would be going to Kecun in the blink of an eye.

"Oh, okay, no problem, but the summer league is about to start, what should I do?" Su Tian asked with some confusion.

"You don't have to worry about the summer league. You were still a member of the Clippers before the trade happened. Su, I told you, as a professional player, you have to have a professional spirit. You just need to play well. As for the things off the court. , just leave it to me, this is my job."

Bill Duffy's words also made Su Tian feel relieved.

After the conversation with Bill Duffy, Su Tian had no intention of practicing anymore and was thinking about his future with the Cavaliers.

If everything is the same as before, James will return to the Cavaliers this season and Wiggins will be traded to the Timberwolves for Love.

Moreover, this year's Cavaliers also reached the finals, and the lineup is the Seven Jedi that is widely rumored on the Internet.

"If you put it this way, don't I have a chance to win the championship in the first year? I will definitely win one in the second year?" Su Tian thought wildly, "Isn't this better than staying with the Clippers?"

But now is not the time to think about this. In a few days, Su Tian will represent the Clippers in the Las Vegas Summer League. The league will start on July 7 and last for ten days.

Each team will basically sign rookies after the summer league. Su Tian doesn't know whether they are trading their own signing rights or making a deal after signing.

Because of NBA regulations, players cannot be traded within 30 days after signing.

Su Tian shook his head and stopped thinking about this.

A few days later, the summer league started, and Su Tian had already arrived at the team's designated hotel.

The day after Su Tian arrived in Las Vegas, on July 2014, 7, James published an open letter in Sports Illustrated announcing his return to the Cavaliers.

This news also caused a huge sensation in the outside world. These sensations had nothing to do with Su Tian. Su Tian just read the news reports and stopped caring.

As for the summer league, it is basically composed of rookies and undrafted players, and there will be many players who play hard.

Su Tian doesn't expect to play well in the summer league. He just hopes that he can stay healthy and play a complete game. Su Tian doesn't want to become a player ruined by injuries.

Therefore, throughout the summer league, Su Tian played very smartly, passing the ball when he needed to, and shooting when he could. Only when there was a better opportunity, or when the fast break was a one-on-one, would he choose to break for a layup.

Although Su Tian was not drafted high, he was also a first-round pick and had a lot of playing time. Playing smart like this ensured Su Tian's scoring efficiency. Not to mention the new badge Su Tian got, the King of the End.

Ten days later, the summer league ended, and Su Tian averaged 13.8 points, 5.6 assists, 3.1 rebounds, and 1.2 steals per game.The data is not against the sky, but the efficiency is quite high, with a 41.2% three-point shooting percentage and a 48.5% shooting percentage.

The summer league was over, and the Clippers didn't talk about signing a contract. Su Tian was not in a hurry. He was practicing while taking advantage of the opportunity to feel the prosperity of Los Angeles.

Just when Su Tian was getting bored, he received a phone call.

Moreover, it’s not easy to refuse this call, it’s his dad.

"Baby, how are you doing lately? Are you eating well and are you short of money?" Such distinctive words came from the other side of the phone, which also made Su Tian stunned for a moment.

"Uh, okay, okay, no shortage, no shortage. Why did you suddenly think of calling today?" Su Tian responded quickly.

"It's like this. I read on the news that your KFC University has a guy named Su Tianle, who has the same name as you. He went to the NBA to play basketball. Do you know about this?"

"Um, dad, my place is called the University of Kentucky, not KFC." Su Tian held his head helplessly.

"Oh, please pay attention to the key points, don't you tell me, do you know?"

"Dad, let's just say, is it possible that Su Tian is me?" Su Tian said while suppressing a smile.

"Ah, it's really you. Are you really fake? Don't lie to me."

"Really, it's me." Su Tian responded.

"Hey, good guy, hey, baby, it's really our baby, hey? Why are you so calm?"

"Do you know there is something called the Internet? Do you know there is something called a video? I have known it for a long time, but you don't know yet." A strong woman's voice came from the side.

Su Tian suddenly felt friendly when he heard the scolding on the phone.

"Okay, okay, stop talking. Baby, weren't you studying? Why did you suddenly run to play ball? I didn't even know you were playing so well."

"Well, I also discovered it suddenly. Maybe it's because I'm gifted. Who knows?" Su Tian responded hesitantly.

"Okay, since you're all in, let's fight hard, show off our style, and show off our momentum!" The other side also started to cheer Su Tian up.

"Okay, okay, I understand. You should also take care of your health and enjoy yourself. I will be able to make money from now on. You don't have to worry about me." Su Tian said.

After ending the call with his parents, Su Tian also relieved a lot of his anxiety. During this period, Su Tian seemed not to take it to heart, but in fact he was more or less worried.

Now a phone call with my parents has relieved me a lot. After all, our parents are our most solid backing.

The day after the phone call between Su Tian and his parents ended, news of the transaction came.

The signing rights of the Los Angeles Clippers' 28th pick Su Tian and the Cleveland Cavaliers' 33rd pick Joe Harris swapped, and the Cavaliers also added some cash.

Su Tian was relieved when he saw that the deal had settled.

Immediately afterwards, Bill Duffy called, informing Su Tian to prepare to go to Cleveland, and they wanted to sign a contract with the Cavaliers as soon as possible.

In fact, in the eyes of the outside world, no, the outside world didn't see it at all. To the outside world, this was just a small fight. Not worth reporting. Even if the outside world sees it, they will only think that it is just one rookie replaced by another.

After a while of running around, Su Tian finally arrived at this place called Kecun.

Looking at the street scene that was very different from Los Angeles, Su Tian couldn't help but sigh, this Cleveland is indeed worthy of its name as a village.

Su Tian followed Bill Duffy and walked into the Cavaliers' arena, where the staff received them.

The contract is a standard contract for rookies, with 3 million in three years and a team option in the last year.

After signing the contract, Su Tian was about to leave. Before he could go out, he saw a man walking towards him, smiling as he walked. It's just that the smile is a bit crooked.

"Su, hello, I'm the head coach of the Cavaliers, Tyronn Lue." The man stretched out his hand as he said.

Regarding the head coach and the contract, there are some minor changes. The head coach was originally David Blatt, and Tyronn Lue was only an assistant coach, but Tyronn Lue is so interesting, and everyone has a deep memory.

The standard rookie contract was originally supposed to be a team option for two years after four years. Let’s change it slightly.
