Chapter 147: Sign the Spurs

After getting off the plane, Tang Tian and Feigen went out of the airport together.
Feigen had already made an appointment with Spurs general manager RC Buford and will sign a rookie contract in the office today.
Tang Tian also took out his mobile phone to call Kawhi Leonard and Corey Joseph. Before leaving from New York, he had already contacted the two rookies of this year's team through Feigen. To report.
Both were out of the airport on the phone.
"Godfather! Godfather!"
But what surprised them was that there were dozens of Spurs fans outside the airport to welcome them.
Feigen took the phone to the side to continue calling, Tang Tian then greeted Joseph and hung up the phone, and then walked towards the fans.
Because of the "godfather" relationship, he is probably the most popular No. 31 rookie. This battle is really unprecedented.
There are even a few reporters in the crowd, which really fits his identity as a Don. Not low-key Spurs rookie.
Tang Tian knew that these fans must have waited a lot of time, and he cooperated with them in the past and signed a photo with them, and also accepted a short interview with the local media.
Feigen waited aside for ten minutes, and the two turned to taxis.
"You don't have to waste time on this." Feigen said after getting on the taxi.
"I know." Tang Tian didn't say much, he knew the importance of fans as a coach in his previous life.
The driver recognized Tang Tian and chatted with him while driving while smiling, and Tang Tian also responded with a smile.
Fagan looked helpless on the side. This is probably the most patient rookie he's ever seen, not at all consistent with his age.
Over half an hour, the car arrived at the AT & amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; T Center Arena, the home of the Spurs. After they got out of the car, they waited at the door for a while. After Leonard and Joseph came over, they were together Entered the arena.
Leonard looked as expressionless as when he was in NCAA. It was Joseph, a rookie from Canada. This rookie from Canada was very talkative and took Tang Tian to talk about NCAA.
"If we could win the University of Texas at the beginning, we might have played against you in the Western Conference finals, Kawai. Speaking of which you have played with Tang in the championship. All three of us are in the Western Conference. This is really fate. "" Joseph played NCAA for only one year at the University of Texas.
The University of Texas is the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference this year. Before Kangda University, it was a pity that it was upset by the University of Texas at 32 to 16. Otherwise, the three of them would really be opponents who all played against. Teammates, really like fate as Joseph said.
Tang Tian smiled and patted Joseph on the shoulder, Leonard remained expressionless.
"Kaihuai, be happier, we will be a member of the Spurs immediately. This is a great team." Joseph said with a smile when he saw his expression.
Leonard turned to look at Joseph, still expressionless, then turned his head again.
Joseph smiled a little embarrassedly, and then continued to chat with Tang Tian, ​​and he didn't ask for it anymore.
Tang Tian also glanced at Leonard at this time, and did not know what the child had experienced, such a character.
A group of people have entered the arena during the talk, and a staff member came over to lead them to the direction of the office.
Entering the office, the team's general manager RC Buford is already inside, but to their surprise, the team's head coach Popovich is also inside, sitting by the window and seeing them come in Time to look up.
Fagan they went to say hello to Buford, Tang Tian greeted Joseph, and went to say hello to Popovich.
"Master, do you drink red wine tonight?" Tang Tian said with a smile.
Popovich laughed loudly after listening, Tang Tian this is really the most interesting rookie he has ever seen.
Joseph looked at Tang Tian with some surprise. He thought he was talkative enough, but he didn't expect Tang Tian to be fiercer than him.
"Red wine is served another day. I signed a contract today. After signing, I will take you to familiarize yourself with the arena." Popovich said with a smile.
"Lady hard."
Tang Tian said to greet Joseph to sit down.
Popovich smiled and looked at Leonard behind him, a strange look flashed in his eyes.
Tang Tian's enthusiasm is like fire, but Leonard looks cold and ice, the rookie style this year's pick is really a little bad.
Both Leonard and Joseph are in the first round of the show. Both of them have fixed contracts. After the agent over there was confirmed, they signed soon.
Tang Tian is special as a second-round pick. His contract has multiple situations and needs to be discussed now.
Popovich first took Leonard and Joseph to familiarize themselves with the arena, leaving Fegan and Buford in the office. The two sat down to start negotiations.
Tang Tian sat aside and listened.
Buford showed the Spurs' sincerity, they are willing to provide a full guarantee contract for four years as the first round of the show.
However, Feigen insisted on signing a one-year guarantee contract, and the two sides were very divided.
The negotiations lasted for more than half an hour, and finally talked about Buford changing the four-year full guarantee to a three-year guarantee, but Feigen still insisted on a one-year contract, even if it was not guaranteed.
It seems that it is just the change of the contract period, and it seems that the conversation is light and light, but it is actually the same as the real fight on the battlefield.
The NBA contract is very complicated, and only professional brokers and general managers can talk about it. Www.EbookFREE.me ~ Take the simplest years as an example. The four-year full guarantee contract represents four years of child labor, and the team is still the team in the next two years. The option, in three years, can retain Tang Tian's bird rights according to the rules of the alliance. In two years, there is at least an early bird right and the Arenas clause, but in one year, nothing will happen.
Buford talked about frowning at Tang Tian at the end, to tell the truth he was really reluctant to deal with Fagan.
Tang Tian smiled and looked at Buford without speaking. Obviously, he meant that this kind of thing was only left to the agent.
Negotiations persisted, and Popovich returned to the office.
Buford saw Popovich coming in and cast a helpless look on him.
Although Buford is the general manager, he was promoted in 2002. Before that, for eight years, the general manager of the team was Popovich.
Popovich sat down in the past and asked about the differences between the two parties.
At the end, he also glanced at Tang Tian. After seeing the latter's expression, he turned his head to talk with Buford for a while, and finally made a final decision.
"Two-year guarantee contract."
Obviously, Popovich gave the limit that the Spurs can withstand. They can't spend a year training a rookie.
Tang Tian got up and sat next to Fagan at this time, which was the secret code between the two.
Feigen nodded and agreed.
The one-year contract is what Tang Tian wants most, because the shorter the period, the shorter his time as a child laborer, but he also knows that the Spurs will most likely not agree, so two years has been completely acceptable to him. Before the Heat gave the draft, he asked for it.
