Jones's home is in downtown Houston, and he lives in a two-story and half-small bungalow, the standard configuration of ordinary white-collar workers in the United States.

Jones is very enthusiastic about Tang Tian's visit. After all, even in the Rockets, the two haven't had much contact with each other. Now they are gone, and there is no relationship at all.

Mrs. Jones sat aside after making coffee for the two.

"I hope you go to Cleveland to help me." After a brief greeting, Tang Tian opened his eyes.

"Cleveland?" Jones hesitated for a long while holding the coffee cup in his hand.

"I'll make you my deputy general manager. I don't know much about the manager's work, so basically, most of the things will be left to you. Even if necessary, the team can be organized by you I'm only responsible for the general direction. "Tang Tian bluntly said, he gave Jones the greatest freedom.

Jones was clearly agitated, but didn't know why he was still hesitating.

"Is there anything wrong?" Tang Tian asked in confusion.

"It's nothing, it's just ..." Jones stopped talking.

"You should go. Alexander's reason for firing you cannot be justified." Just then, Mrs. Jones said indignantly.

Jones turned and stared, and Mrs. Jones shut up immediately.

"By the way, I don't know why you were fired by the Rockets? You have worked with the Rockets for more than ten years?"

"fifteen years."

"Yeah, fifteen years, this has been more than half of a person's working life, which really makes people understand."

Jones hesitated again, he seemed reluctant to say.

"Mrs. Jones?" Tang Tian looked at Mrs. Jones.

Mrs. Jones turned to glance at Jones.

"I think the team should stay with you. This team is because of your dynasty, but Darrell said that the current lineup Tom can continue to win the championship. We argued, and Darrell seemed to know that I was right His evaluation was too arbitrary, and he was deadlocked after the trouble, and Dikembe also supported me. In the end, Alexander made a choice and I was fired with Dikembe. "Jones sighed and said finally.

After Tang Tian heard it, he couldn't help laughing.

This is a palace fight, is Morey driving all those who disobey him?

"Now it seems that this is a good thing." Tang Tian said with a smile.

"You came to Cleveland. Our two guys who were fired together aren't just doing something right? Oh right, and Dikembe, my coaching staff is not alone now, he is in charge of guiding the inside line. Intuitive. "

Jones glanced at Tang Tian and said, "If Dikembe can go, I will go too."

Seeing Jones's wind turning so fast, Tang Tian also realized that he was blaming himself for the dismissal of Uncle Mu.

"Of course." Tang Tian said with a smile.

After spending two days in Houston, Tang Tian took the Jones to a plane to Cleveland.

It was a good trip.

Back in Cleveland, the Cavaliers also officially signed a contract with him.

A three-year 30 million base contract with an incentive clause to win the championship can reach a maximum of 40 million.

This is also the biggest coaching contract of NBA so far. Of course, in addition to Tang Tian's outstanding coaching ability, there is a large part of the reason because he also serves as the general manager of the team.

Along with him was Jones, who also won a three-year, three-million-dollar contract, a lot bigger than his contract with the Rockets.

Because he didn't have much interest in daily work and trust in Jones, he threw all the rest of the manager's team to Jones, and he himself focused on the coaching staff.

The general manager is only to have absolute say in player management. His job is still the head coach, which is what he is good at.

"Dante, how are you going to prepare for the interview?" After signing the contract, Tang Tian kept calling and called Dante to his office.

"Yes, it's almost ready. I thought it would take a while, but things are going faster than I expected." Dante said, passing a report to Tang Tian.

"Who doesn't want to be the first assistant of the dynasty godfather?" Tang Tian said with a smile.

After taking the report and looking at it, it is the person who intends to interview, accompanied by their resumes, and there are many people like Tristottes and Pitt Meyers who have nba head coach resumes.

It seems that the job competition of coach NBA is more fierce than that of players.

His plan, interview is only part of it, and then he has to meet with assistant coaches of other teams.

But after turning over, a name made his eyes light up, and even the previous thought was instantly dispelled.

Dwayne Casey.

This name is unfamiliar to most people in the league, even if it is known, at most it is: Oh, that failed coach.

He joined NBA in 1989 and worked as an assistant coach for more than ten years. He won the first head coach in 2005 and coached the Timberwolves for a season and a half, 53 wins and 69 losses.

Such resumes are not uncommon in NBA, and they are uniformly labeled with losers.

But Tang Tian knew very well that this man who coached the Raptors for ten years and became the first coach in team history is an excellent coach.

"Is Casey sure to come?" Tang Tian asked Dante again, because it said that Casey was now the Mavericks' first assistant coach.

"Yes, the people above are sure to come." Dante said affirmatively.

"Good job." Tang Tian smiled, he really likes his peer Dante now.

"Start the interview tomorrow, first come first."

Dan made his head, and went on to arrange it.

"Huh! Comfort!"

Tang Tian sat on the soft chair of the general manager and couldn't help shouting.

Sure enough, the feeling of being in control is much more comfortable than the Rockets and Morey fighting with each other.

The next day, Tang Tian waited in the conference room for the first group of people to come for an interview.

What he never expected was ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ Casey was also among them.

It feels a bit impatient to be put into his arms!

I interviewed a batch and knew that there was Casey in the next batch. Tang Tian also sat upright.

Three people came in, and Tang Tian's gaze fell on Casey at first glance.

Dark skin, big nose and long ears, with a moustache moustache, looked a bit like a black elf, but those eyes were bright and clear, and at a glance, you knew that there was someone in the stomach.

Tang Tian took a moment to look away from Casey.

But just then, he noticed that the two people who came in together knew him.

Paul Silas, the guy who had interviewed the first assistant coach on the Rockets with himself, even came.

The other, Sam Cassel, a veteran who was still playing for the Celtics a year ago, came to interview the teaching assistant directly after his retirement!
