That's certainly a good thing for the Grizzlies!

If there is a trade in the middle of the season, the extra 1.22 million salary cap to the luxury tax threshold can better avoid triggering the luxury tax.

This is very important for them to renew the contract of players next season, if they pay taxes for three consecutive years, they will not dare to pay taxes next year, N times the super luxury tax, no matter how much money the Grizzlies make, it will not be enough to pay.

Previously, it was rumored in the media that Sun Ce's investment company had invested in a new sports company, and was pulling some consortiums to inject capital and strive to jointly buy the Clippers.

This could be a violation of NBA rules and also affects the Grizzlies, whose decision to keep Paul George was based on a number of reasons.

One important point is that if Sun Ce's investment company really buys the Clippers, Sun Ce may not be allowed to go to the Clippers, and may not even be able to buy it even if he is given the right price.

For the first time in NBA history, an active player buys a team, and only Magic Johnson owns NBA shares when he was a player.

Bill Duffy has received a notice of investigation from the NBA, and Sun Ce knows about it, but the notice clearly states that this investigation will not affect Sun Ce's right to participate in the game, and it is a necessary process for the team to sell.

And, even if the league agrees, and the owners of other teams oppose it more than 50 percent, Sun's investment company can't buy the Clippers.

However, because these things are still chasing the wind, Sun Ce is not involved in the operation of the investment company at all, and his work ethic is very trusted by the Grizzlies management, so neither the team nor the league has officially brought this matter to the table.

Sun Ce didn't encounter any trouble, and after the media tossed around, they found that no one responded from the league, Sun Ce, Grizzlies owners, and other team owners, so it was over.

……

……

On the 17th, he rested for a day, and in the evening Sun Ce practiced the Nash training method, and after a night, Sun Ce came to the FedEx Arena with a radiant face.

The 19th is tomorrow, and their Grizzlies preseason will continue, and even if the time difference between the players has not reversed today, Coach Hollins has also arranged basic training.

Running, stretching, shooting, massage physiotherapy are all ways to help the players recover.

It's just that the rest of the team saw Sun Ce practice left-handed shooting at 8 o'clock in the morning with the help of old Hardaway who had not yet fallen through the jet lag and looked desperate......

Richard Jefferson, Gobert, Hardaway Jr., and Livingston were amazed by Sun's resilience.

Others, I feel that old Hardaway is so pitiful......

……

There's a reason why the big teams don't want to play in Europe or Asia.

The first wave of jet lag adjustment is fine, but the second wave of jet lag adjustment is difficult.

On the 19th, the Grizzlies ushered in a game against the Bucks at home, Sun Ce did not play tonight, and the Grizzlies rotated according to the 13-man activation roster for the regular season.

In preseason, the team may not care if they win or lose, but the players who play certainly do.

And the Bucks, a team that formed a lineup of Holiday this summer, Mayo, Caron Butler, Ilyasova and Monroe, went to the playoffs and played seriously in the preseason!

As a result, Beverley and Paul George, who were not in good shape, were ......caught up by Holiday by Holiday

97-79, the Bucks defeated the Grizzlies on the road, ending the Grizzlies' two-game preseason winning streak.

Sun Ce watched the whole game in a training uniform, and the Bucks played very well, but Sun Ce found that the best game on the opposing guard line was not Mayo signed by the Bucks for 3 years and 24 million, nor Caron Butler, who spent 9 million a year to sign, but Chris Middleton, a second-round pick in the second round, who got 17 points and 6 boards tonight.

A B-level mid- and long-distance pitcher, the defensive end does not make good use of his weight, more than 100 kilograms like papier-mâché, but he is only in the second grade, and he is generally very good.

……

In the preseason games, Coach Hollins mainly focused on observing the state of the players and trying and adjusting the technical and tactical coordination.

On the 21st, the Grizzlies beat the Magic team 125-89, the Magic team is very bad, very bad, and this year it is going to be signed for the top pick.

Former Spurs championship member Jacqui Vaughn was selected as head coach, and he wanted to attack without offense, and he wanted to defend without defense.

On the 24th, the Grizzlies came to Toronto, which has begun ice and snow mode, to challenge the Raptors away.

When Sun Ce saw the Raptors sign Ujerry as general manager in July this year, he knew that the changes in the Raptors were about to begin.

did not renew Calderon, corrected Lowry, gave a 3-year 36 million early contract extension, 3 years and 28.5 million to renew DeRozan, who was regarded as a "soft egg", and traded away last season's starting center Banjani to correct Valanciunas, forming a core trio and building a team around the three.

Sun Ce looked at DeRozan opposite before the game, and looked at the other party's hairy - what is this guy going to do! It's just a preseason, big brother! Not!

Sun Ce is not interested in DeRozan, he is looking at the ability evaluation of the opponent's three core players - DeRozan, A-level, Lowry A+ level, Valanciunas A-level.

The 27-year-old Lowry has entered his prime, looking at the details of the ability evaluation, Sun Ce and Paul George have compared, and Lowry should be the weaker in the A+ level.

Of course, weakness is relative, and the quasi-top level is the quasi-top level, and under the right team and the right tactical system, it can compete with superstars.

The 24-year-old and DeRozan and the 21-year-old Valanciunas both have a first-class edge and above.

It's a really great core lineup!

Coupled with Ujri, the general manager, it is difficult to deal with in the regular season.

As for the playoffs...... There is no James in the East......

Sun Ce found out that after James was not in the east, the east became so lively!

The Heat, the Bulls, maybe the 76ers would be better without Howard, the Knicks and Nets, the Cavaliers, the Grizzlies in the East, plus the Raptors, Bucks and maybe the Pistons...... James is not in the East, and the East is suddenly worth seeing!

Sun Ce has always felt that after entering his prime, James's dominance in the East is too strong, so strong that other teams may have lost their competitive hope.

Sun Ce looked back and thought about the West, the Lakers, Spurs, and Warriors are the three major rivals, the Mavericks cannot be ignored, and the Thunder Durant is also very strong although he will not be able to return until around the Christmas War at the earliest.

The Pelicans and Trail Blazers have also had an interesting season this season.

Sun Ce was puzzled, the league pattern was completely different from what he had envisioned at the end of last season! It's getting so weird!

There is a feeling of "the coming of prosperity"!

If he can't figure it out, Sun Ce can only find someone to blame - it's all James! Muddy the waters of the Alliance!
