Iguodala's affair with the Warriors spread all over the city.

At a time when the superstars haven't even started to act, Iguodala, the Grizzlies' two-time champion, is the biggest player in the free agent market.

His contact with the Warriors has become the focus of heated discussions among fans in recent days.

In the NBA, there are few secrets about transfers. Once there is a little wind and grass, it will be immediately exposed.

After all, just by breaking the transfer news, you can feed a group of basketball reporters and an entire industry.

Prominent basketball journalists often have very large and complex networks, so it's not hard for them to get the inside scoop.

Cole came to negotiate with Iguodala, and it was impossible for only Cole and Iguodala to know.

And as long as a third person knows about it, 99% of the matter will be exposed.

Iguodala looked at the news about herself and pouted. Unexpectedly, he could be the "protagonist" this summer.

48 million for 4 years, which is indeed a very attractive price for Iguodala.

And Cole is right, in Oakland, in the Bay Area, it would be more convenient for Iguodala to want to invest.

Iguodala has always wanted to go to the big city, and when he came out of the 76ers, he wished he could go to the big city.

But Memphis made Iguodala change his mind.

He loves playing with the Grizzlies and he loves fighting at Federal Express Arena.

He likes Randolph's jokes every day, the fruits and vegetables that Gasol brings to everyone from time to time, and Tony. Allen's game of cards, like Conley's piano performance......

Most importantly, he likes the leader of the team who always tells everyone "the game is not over yet, let's keep fighting", who can always turn the tide at critical moments, who can always hold everyone together, and who can always make those who love him love him more, and those who hate him hate him more!

Iguodala spent the first eight years of his career doing nothing. In eight years, he only played five playoff games, four of which were in the first round, and his best result was only in the second round. He was expected to be the Jordan of Philadelphia, but he was hell-bent on playing the role of Pippen.

He didn't play happily and the team lost patience.

However, it was in Memphis that he considered himself the pinnacle of his career. Iguodala remembers his first day with the Grizzlies, Link telling him, "Hey, we've got to do something together." As long as we join forces, we should be able to make the dome of the Federal Express Arena less empty. ”

At first, Iguodala didn't take it too seriously. He only uses the Memphis Grizzlies as a springboard, and he hopes to jump out of his contract after a year and sign for a big-city team. He didn't want to waste his time in the backcountry of Memphis, and he didn't want to daydream with a draft loser.

However, as the season progressed, he found that he really liked it.

Love the fans, their teammates, and everything they win together!

Thinking of this, Iguodala opened the safe in his home and pulled out the delicate championship ring.

The championship ring, several pennants of honor on the arena of the Federal Express Arena...... Iguodala knew that the undrafted leader, or rather, the leader, wasn't joking with him!

By the time the second championship ring was presented, Iguodala wished he was still standing at the Federal Express Arena, standing next to his teammates, rather than waiting for the ring to be mailed in.

Although he has only been in Memphis for two years, Iguodala feels that he has a deeper affection for Memphis and the Grizzlies than he does for Philadelphia and the 76ers. He can't forget what he's been through in Memphis, and Iguodala can't help but giggle now when he thinks about the championship they've taken.

The past 8 years have been a bummer. It was Memphis that gave him a taste of victory.

This year, he is 30 years old, not too big or too small. As a swingman of the guards, it can be regarded as the final prime time.

Now, he has two championships and two championship rings. He has the opportunity to win three consecutive championships and create a dynasty with his favorite team!

Three consecutive championships, dynasty, how many people can get such an opportunity? Even if there is a second chance, can I wait for my 30-year-old self? Even if you get a second chance, can you play as happily as you did in Memphis?

Iguodala looked at the championship ring in his hand and fell into deep thought again.

48 million in 4 years, which is an attractive price code. By all accounts, Iguodala doesn't seem to have a reason to refuse.

People say that the NBA is a business, and Iguodala used to believe in it. But Iguodala is now keenly aware that not everything can be described as "just business".

The time they had through the difficult times together, the times they cheered for the O'Brien Cup together, the times they stacked Arhats on the pitch, the times they fought for each other...... None of this has anything to do with business.

48 million in 4 years, from a business point of view, Iguodala knows very well that if he rejects this offer, he will be the number one fool.

But why do we have to think about basketball from a business perspective?

Just as Iguodala was struggling, his phone rang suddenly.

It's Link.

"Link." Iguodala tried to make her tone sound lighter.

"Igo, where are you now? When are you going to go back to Memphis? You haven't forgotten, Zach's wedding this August. ”

Iguodala thought Link was calling to persuade him to stay, but he didn't expect to tell him about Randolph's wedding.

Randolph didn't know if he had been complained about by everyone for too long, and finally decided to marry his girlfriend this summer. Why "finally"? Because Randolph and his girlfriend have already given birth to three children!

"I remember, Link, how could I have forgotten Zack's wedding? In fact, I'm in Memphis right now, I'm at home. Iguodala smiled, it was really hard for him to imagine life without this group of guys.

"You're in Memphis? Didn't the news say you were in New York? ”

"Did you see the news?"

"Of course, who doesn't know that news now."

"So, what do you think about this?" Iguodala shook her head, Link's ability to change the subject is simply top-notch! Pretending to come to ask about attending a wedding, you are actually asking yourself if you are in Memphis!

"What can I think, that's 48 million in 4 years, man. I can't be selfish and say, hey, fuck 48 million, in Memphis, we can make a great deal together. I feel shameful of this kind of. Admittedly, you need that contract, Igo. But ......"

Iguodala didn't speak, he was waiting for Link to finish the rest of the "but".

"But if you really ask me what I think, of course I want you to stay. You're not there, who's going to pull us when we're fighting? If you go to Auckland, we're definitely 200 per cent more banned next season. ”

"Hahahahaha, okay, it turns out that my role on the Grizzlies is to pull the rack."

"Hehe, you're our anchor, Igo. The choice is yours, though. Whatever you choose, I'll support you. Unfortunately, I can't help much......"

"Don't say that, you're worth that top salary, you don't have a reason to take a cut. Even if I do leave, it has nothing to do with your salary cap, understand? ”

"Understand, no matter what the outcome is, you must tell me in advance, okay?"

"Of course, I promise, you'll know about me before all the reporters." Iguodala listened to the phone and looked at the championship ring in his hand.

For a moment, he almost made up his mind and almost shouted the phrase "fuck 48 million".

"Well, rest early, Iago, see you at Zach's wedding."

"Goodbye, Link."

After hanging up, Iguodala took a deep breath. I was just about to go to bed and wash up, but my phone vibrated again.

This time, it's not a phone call, it's a news feed.

Seeing the news pushed, Iguodala frowned and opened her mouth wide.

"Zach. Randolph decided to exercise his player option and jump out of his final year contract to become a free agent. ”

"What!?" Iguodala stunned, Randolph jumped out of contract? Why is that? He's getting married this summer, so does he still want to wade into the muddy waters of the free agent market?

Just as Iguodala was surprised, Randolph sent a text message.

The text message was simple, "Leave nothing to yourself, sign Grizzly." ”
