According to. The T reporter broke the news that Sun Ce and the Grizzlies reached a special 3+1 contract, with a third-year team option and a fourth-year player option, and there is a clause in the terms of the agreement that when the Grizzlies implement the team option, Sun Ce can ask to renegotiate the salary for the next two years.

Originally, people didn't understand why Sun Ce's contract was a long-term contract, because Sun Ce had signed a three-year 1+1 contract, and every time he extended the contract in accordance with the rules of the alliance, he could continue now.

But seeing such a 3+1 contract, I think it can be understood.

It's just that why did Sun Ce sign such a contract?

Soon, everyone knew why......

On the afternoon of the 22nd, the NBA headquarters and the owners of 29 teams in the league except the Clippers held a video conference, and after an afternoon of discussions, an agreement was finally reached!

At 9 p.m. on the 22nd, a news item was posted on the NBA's official website, which read: In this afternoon's owner vote, 18 owners agreed to the draft Clippers sales plan proposed by the NBA official, 5 owners opposed it, and the remaining 6 owners abstained.

With more than 50 percent in favor and less than 30 percent against, the NBA will officially launch an investigation into John Price's economic dealings with Sun Ce through Price's investment group owner John Price's request for an offer to the Clippers.

On the morning of June 23, the NBA headquarters held another video conference with the owners of each team to discuss some details of the sale of the Clippers, mainly one to formulate a special clause.

This time it was unanimously passed!

On June 25, 2014, the NBA officially announced that the Clippers reached an acquisition agreement with John Price, the owner of Price Investment Group, and John Price's bidding group wholly acquired the Los Angeles Clippers at a price of 1.7 billion US dollars.

Also unveiled was an agreement that was dubbed the "Law of Lords" by the media and fans.

This is a restrictive clause, with my consent, all NBA owners voted unanimously to approve the clause, the content of the clause is: Chinese player Sun Ce to join the Los Angeles Clippers, when the playing age is less than 7 years, the salary must reach at least 25% of the salary cap, if the playing age is 7 years or more, the salary must reach at least 30% of the salary cap.

In addition, there is also a restrictive trade clause: when Sun Ce's team trades with the Los Angeles Clippers, if the trade chips do not include Sun Ce himself, it must be reviewed by the league.

As soon as this news came out, the entire NBA fan community was in a sensation!

After the Finals, when the NBA officially launched an investigation into the relationship between John Price and Sun Ce, a new fandom Internet celebrity who bought the Clippers, it stole the limelight from the just-concluded Finals.

Now, it has completely overshadowed the Lakers, who have just become champions and will become the defending champions in a few days.

The enthusiasm of fans for discussing this matter can be imagined, and the most unhappy is Kobe!

He's just won his sixth championship and that bastard is popping up again!

……

……

It's June 28th, and it's a new week, and the draft is about to begin.

And Sun Ce's training has entered the second week.

"Oh my God, Noah, I didn't expect you to become the owner of an NBA team so early."

"I'm not a Clippers owner!"

"Someday you will be."

“……”

Sun Ce really couldn't refute it.

John's purchase of the team, in fact, he just knew, never participated, and on the evening of the 22nd, the league official called him on a recorded phone call and asked him if he was willing to accept the restrictive clause, he agreed, and replied to the fax sent by the league.

Those rumors did not affect Sun Ce, he trained when he should train, rested when he should rest, and occasionally discussed with the team about recruitment, and in the finals, the negotiations between the team and the target team had already entered the substantive discussion stage.

Today is the day of training with Jordan again, and Sun Ce feels that training with Jordan and Payton is simply two worlds.

Jordan made Sun Ce feel the malice of the fat man, if you want to say that the fat man is flexible, who can be more powerful than Jordan of the same age?

And learning from Payton is like learning a defensive textbook.

When Peyton taught Sun Ce, he was more boring, but Sun Ce learned more, for example, today, when he defended Jordan, whether it was what Jordan taught him or what he explored, he was better defended.

Payton taught the basics, took Sun Ce to practice the basic defensive skills, and taught Sun Ce the kind of technical skills he wanted to defend Jordan, but when he came to Jordan, he practiced the defensive basics he learned and tried the defensive methods he thought of.

Originally, Sun Ce felt that the matter of teaching for three days discussed by the two of them was very painful, but after practice, he found that it was too suitable!

From No. 21 to No. 23, he was beaten by Jordan's high and low backs, and the face frame was strong and relied on the feel to make a layup...... After all kinds of ravages, No. 25 to No. 27 learned the basics of defense from Payton, and then asked Jordan to practice defense.

It is said that Pierce and Anthony are offensive kaleidoscopes, why not Jordan? Especially now that Jordan basically only relies on technology, weight, and feel, the most important of which is technology, Sun Ce obviously feels the harvest after pain and torture!

After a morning of practicing with Jordan, Sun Ce still felt that his defense was not good enough, and he calmed down and prepared for the next three weeks of harder and more dedicated training from today.

And Jordan, once again, dragged away with heavy steps...... Jordan thought that after the first day of practice, the rest of the time would be wasted, but as a result, after practicing, the amount of food that day increased greatly, he slept soundly at night, and woke up refreshed the next morning.

But when I didn't teach Sun Ce, I didn't feel this way.

This made Jordan feel that he should be more active, looking at Zhang 20,000 and Abdul-Jabbar, who could still run and jump to participate in racket sports and marathons when he was in his 50s, he felt that he was going to be wasted.

Fortunately, it is possible to attack and abuse the first person in the league without discipline, and adjust and train the defense of the first person in the league.

It's the end of another morning's training, and the second week of training has begun, Sun Ce is used to the rhythm of life at this stage, and the two coaches are also used to it.

I went home at noon and had lunch, and in the afternoon I made an appointment with the old Hardaway to strengthen the rhythm of the breakthrough, as for shooting, after the first week, Sun Ce plans to reduce the amount of training in the afternoon, except for the three-point practice every day, the training of mid-range shooting and breakthrough once every other day, and then every Thursday does have a real day off.

At a certain stage in his career, Sun Ce's training methods are also fine-tuned in the direction he feels better.

On the evening of the 28th, when there were still 24 hours left before the time of the draft, a deal that Sun Ce had been looking forward to since the beginning of the month finally came!

……

Having just eaten dinner, Aldridge wanted to see what melons the league had to eat.

Whether it's a trade or a player's intention to jump out of the contract to test the free market, it really has nothing to do with their Trail Blazers.

Aldridge is going to be depressed, every year, they can only pick up players that other teams don't want every year, and he can't help it, no matter how well he starts with Lillard, Batum, and Matthews, he can't attract other stars.

The prejudice against this team was too great, and Aldridge, who had played with Roy, knew that under the leadership of this leader, they had swept away the darkness of the Portland prison team, and even Randolph regarded Roy as his big brother.

But Roy doesn't look like a good guy either......

The players in their team know that they are completely different from before, but others don't believe it!

So Aldridge can only look at Sun Ce news, watch the Cojanlen trio riot appear at major galas and parties, and look at Wade and the Heat's contract issues......

Yesterday, Wade jumped out of contract with Bosh on his heel, and all of the Big Three that were formed in 2010 jumped out of contract, except for James, who was traded to the Lakers and promised to exercise the player option for the next two years.

It is said that Wade jumped out of the contract in order to help the team save money to renew Chandler, who jumped out of the contract, so there is a tendency to take a salary cut, but Aldridge can't understand that Chandler has bird rights and needs Wade to jump out of the contract and reduce his salary to clear up space?

However, the thing that interests Aldridge the most is the matter of Sun Ce's "buying the team", on the 25th, after the NBA voted to buy the Clippers by John Price, the Clippers have completed the handover in the past two days.

Seeing the surge in trade restrictions between teams with Sun Ce and the Clippers, and Sun Ce's restrictions on even going to the Clippers, Aldridge felt that it was really not a good thing to be a player to buy a team.

Just like Sun Ce, Aldridge estimates that Sun Ce will be hacked as long as he talks about any issues related to NBA transactions and player ownership.

Sun Ce has encountered criticism this month, as a player, Aldridge feels that Sun Ce is really miserable.

However, Sun Ce never came out and said anything, and Aldridge admired it.

Adjust your sitting position, Aldridge turns on the computer and scrolls through the forum!

However, Rao adjusted his posture, but he still didn't sit firmly, and when he saw the headline headline, he was so shocked that he slipped on the floor!

At this time, his mobile phone rang, and his agent called!

……

On June 28, 2014, Sun Ce came home and just had dinner when he received a call from Chris Wallace, whose Grizzlies had reached a trade agreement with the three teams!

The Grizzlies paid Amir Johnson, Hassan Whiteside, Jonas Valanciunas, Patrick Beverley, Tim Hardaway II, a 2014 first-round pick, a 2016 first-round pick, and got Trail Blazers power forward Radmarcus Aldridge!

At the same time, the Grizzlies also acquired the Pelicans' non-guaranteed contract player Greg Stiensma, the Pelicans' 2017 first-round lottery pick, and the Celtics' $60,000 guaranteed contract player AJ Price.

The Beverley and Valanciunas trades were made immediately, with Beverley getting back the Celtics' 2015 first-round pick and Valanciunas returning the Pelicans' two top-three picks from 2015 and 2017.

In addition to the Pelicans' 2015 first-round picks, the Grizzlies' own stay, the Celtics' 2015 first-round picks and the Pelicans' 2017 first-round picks will be packaged and sent to the Trail Blazers, counting the Grizzlies' own two first-round picks, Aamir Johnson, Whiteside, and Hardaway Jr., 7 for 1! As for the two players on non-guaranteed contracts, the Grizzlies gave up when they got the trade.

The Grizzlies and Trail Blazers trade has not yet been officially reached, and it will have to wait until the free market opens, after the contracts of Prince, Richard Jefferson, and Stoudemire expire, and Randolph's salary drops to 15 million, the Grizzlies will be able to reduce the total salary to more than $54.58 million while retaining the bird rights of Larry Sanders, Paul George, Yi Jianlian, and Tony Allen, making room for trades, and will have to wait until the salary cap is announced next season to complete the official trade.

The total revenue of the Finals was $20 million higher than the pre-playoffs predictions, and according to media forecasts, the salary cap is expected to rise again next season, possibly reaching around $71.6 million.

However, even if no deal is officially reached, the Grizzlies have already handed over the right to pick the 25th pick in this year's first round to the Trail Blazers.

Just like in the original time and space, the Pelicans promised the Lakers the right to 3 first-round + 1 first-round swap + Ingram, Ball, and Hart's 7-for-1 trade, and the Lakers couldn't make room for a long time, and the Pelicans still had to wait, and the Grizzlies had reached deals with the other two teams in order to make up the 4 first-round picks that the Trail Blazers wanted.

This is a trade made by the Grizzlies at the request of the Trail Blazers, and if the Trail Blazers go back, Sun Ce feels that his own management will collectively kneel in celebration.

Their Grizzlies only suffered a loss in exchange for Beverley in exchange for one first-round pick and Valanciunas in exchange for two first-rounders, and there was not much to lose, although Beverley is good, but in terms of trade value, it is not high, just like the Celtics were willing to give up Tony Allen outright.

Valanciunas lost here, but their Grizzlies were already streamlining the center position, and the ideal state was to keep two defensive centers, Yi Jianlian played center in a small lineup, and the final decision was to send Valanciunas away.

Originally, it would have been possible to trade a draft pick plus one or two quality role players, but if it was a chip swap, nothing could be more convenient than a draft pick.

In the end, it became two first-round ...... It doesn't matter, it's a big deal to lose a little.

The Trail Blazers are really doomed, and how will the league investigate how they challenge the trade system that the league relies on to survive under the salary cap system with unconventional operations, and most of the other teams and the Trail Blazers trade is estimated to be weighed.

And it's impossible, when the Grizzlies' other two deals were made and the right to pick the 14-year first-round pick was handed over to the Trail Blazers, the Trail Blazers had already sent a notice to Aldridge's agent and had applied to the league to allow Aldridge to contact the Grizzlies.

Sent five players and two first-round picks, this deal, Sun Ce knew that the team had spent a lot of money.

However, it was Aldridge who got it back! Steady profits, no losses!

……

……

At noon on June 29, Aldridge, who had just been traded, came to Memphis in a hurry, stood outside the FedEx Arena, and looked at the image of the Grizzlies team above the FedEx Arena - a fat man who tried to make himself fierce.

Playing the Grizzlies for the last time of the regular season last year, Aldridge is looking forward to the day when Whiteside will play for the Trail Blazers.

I didn't expect this day to come so quickly! Whiteside immediately became a Trail Blazers player, as if his mouth had opened up.

However, when Whiteside went to the Trail Blazers, he Aldridge was no longer a Trail Blazers player!

The deal hasn't been officially made yet, but he's got permission from the Trail Blazers to get in touch with Grizzlies management, to train at Grizzlies arenas, and it's no different if it's just a matter of time.

Now Aldridge himself doesn't know what he thinks in his heart - how happy is he to be traded?

It's not that he didn't think about how angry he would be when he became a commodity and was traded, but he really didn't feel any anger other than sitting on the ground last night when he was scared.

Instead, I didn't sleep all night, and I got up early this morning and took a plane to Memphis.

Coming out of Memphis International Airport and onto Lord's Boulevard, looking at 24 billboards in a row are the same poster – thank God, the Lords will be with us for the next 4 years.

Aldridge saw Sun Ce's poster and thought that he was about to become teammates with Sun Ce, and he felt like he was so excited that he exploded!

It's nearly impossible to join the Grizzlies as a free agent, the Grizzlies have salary space, and he Aldridge is a free agent, and it's too difficult to meet both conditions at the same time! So he didn't think about it at all.

But now, he looked at the Grizzlies' arena and thought it wasn't a big deal to be traded as a commodity......

……

The Grizzlies spent a lot of money to dismantle most of the main rotation to bring in Aldridge, revealing a signal to the public that in the next few years, they will stick to the core goal of building a team around Sun Ce, which will not change!

Regarding the Grizzlies' introduction of Aldridge, fans feel that the Grizzlies are not losing, but they may not be particularly profitable.

Whiteside's ability is obvious to all, if the Grizzlies don't send Whiteside, then the Grizzlies will not make blood, two picks will definitely not be high in the first round, four role players, in exchange for an All-Star, blood will not be lost.

But by sending away Whiteside, the Grizzlies may only be able to make a small profit, because the Grizzlies sent Valanciunas away at the same time, and the Grizzlies have no real big center.

As for Gobert...... Ignored for the time being, he played a total of 31 games in his rookie year, averaging 9 minutes per game, which was not even as good as Jimmy Butler back then.

If the starting combination of Randolph and Aldridge is sent, fans feel that the Grizzlies' interior defense is still not much better, and Randolph's defense at power forward is not a black hole, and Aldridge is not bad at defending by playing center, but the duo is certainly not very good, and it is impossible to let Aldridge play as a substitute.

But to get Aldridge, I personally think that if they were Grizzlies management, they would do the same, Randolph is 33 years old, and he can get an All-Star-level power forward who is only 29 years old in the summer, and he is at the peak of his prime, and he does not shake the core trio on the outside, even if the interior is emptied, it is not a big deal!
