On the first day after the free agent market opened, the biggest news was undoubtedly that Link signed a five-year, $93 million max salary extension with the Grizzlies.

Link played four years with the Grizzlies, and normally, he was no different from a rookie who had just completed his rookie contract.

Normally, a player who has just completed his rookie contract and signs a team with a maximum salary, even if the maximum salary is not particularly high, is worth his value.

For example, Irving, the draft champion in the same year as Link, "Uncle Drew", if he renews his contract with the Cavaliers this summer, the contract range he can get is between 85 million and 90 million, which is similar to Link.

Although Owen is full of potential, because he is still immature, the price of 85 million-90 million, which is less than 100 million, is still very much in line with his worth.

But when Link, who was in the same class as Irving, was revealed to have signed with the Grizzlies for 93 million, people were very surprised.

Everyone always thinks that Link's salary is too low, and how can his contract be so much higher than Irving's?

It's not hard to explain why people feel this way. Because no player in NBA history has won two championships in the first four years of his career, and has also completed the Grand Slam of individual honors such as Double Team, MVP, FMVP, and Best Defensive Player!

Although Link, like Irving, is equivalent to a rookie who has just completed his rookie contract, his achievements are no longer comparable to those of a player who has just executed his rookie contract!

Link and Owen can't even be compared, and the hard honor is too much different!

Therefore, people will feel that Link's salary seems to be lower than his strength. After all, Anthony, who didn't even make the playoffs last season, was revealed to be able to get at least 120 million!

Outside, most people think that grizzly bears are picking up a big bargain. They left a superstar for the price of an average star!

Of course, there are also those who think that the Grizzlies management is particularly brain-dead. And the reason why this view has emerged is mainly because of the trade veto and player options at the end of the contract.

"The Grizzlies' $93 million contract is the maximum amount allowed under the rules. They don't owe Link anything, so why should they give Link a veto on a deal? Link won't be able to use it in the future, and they won't even be able to take him out! ”

The Grizzlies may have forgotten how Kobe Bryant tortured the Lakers with his trade veto. This kind of overlord clause can't be used indiscriminately. ”

"KD doesn't have a trade veto, LeBron doesn't have a trade veto, Link does. In fact, if you don't count Link, there are only five people in the entire history of the NBA who have veto rights over trades. Hahahaha, the Grizzlies are so pathetic, that's the sadness of a small city team. ”

"Player options? Oh my God, if the Grizzlies don't work in four years, Link will kick them away! ”

"The Grizzlies are so brain-dead, they're completely controlled by Link!"

"A lot of overlord clauses let us see the side of Link businessmen."

"The Grizzlies might as well change their name to Memphis Link."

The next day, Link found that there were countless fans on the Internet who complained about the signing.

The villain has been in office for a long time, and he will be hacked if he signs a contract.

I don't know, I thought it was Link who put a knife on Wallace and Pera's neck, forcing them to add the trade veto and player options.

In this regard, Link was also quite speechless. There are still people who say that Durant does not have the right to veto in the trade, and Link really wants to ask the fans who said this, does Durant have two championships?

To sum up, in terms of amount, those people couldn't find the black spots in this contract, so they simply blackened the terms.

If Link can also sign a contract for 100 million yuan this summer, there will definitely be sunspots who jump out and say that he is not worth so much money.

To put it bluntly, the sunspots are making a point of view, "Link is not worth so much!" ”

Neither Link nor the Grizzlies responded positively to this. Because it doesn't make sense to say anything to Kuroko.

Now, having completed the draft and contract extension, Link has flown to Europe with Rachel to start their sweet summer vacation.

The sunspots are so dark that Link can't see them.

Link is on easy terms right now, but the Grizzlies have a few other players who are still roaming the free agent market.

For example, the Grizzlies two-time champion meritorious player Andre. Iguodala.

Seeing the Grizzlies win Link for 93 million in 5 years, the happiest is undoubtedly the new coach of the Warriors, Steve. Cole too!

After Link signed a contract with the Grizzlies with a maximum salary, the Grizzlies have not much salary space left this season! At this time, he and the warrior can take advantage of the weakness and "steal" the long-awaited Iguodala away!

So after the Grizzlies renewed Link's contract, the Warriors met with Iguodala as soon as possible, and Iguodala agreed.

Kerr is confident of this, as long as he puts the puzzle piece of Iguodala on it, he believes that the Golden State Warriors will start a new era!

The meeting took place in New York, and Iguodala appeared in front of Cole in a suit.

He was polite and didn't play a big name, which surprised Cole.

After all, Iguodala's Grizzlies are not a "polite" team. He also thought that Iguodala would show some gangsterism.

That's when Kerr suddenly realized that people didn't really know about the Memphis Grizzlies.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Andre. In the meantime, congratulations on earning the second championship ring of your career. Cole then put on his own amiable side, trying to close the distance between him and Iguodala.

"Thank you, Steve. Speaking of which, it was a really good memory....... I'm sorry, let's get down to business. Iguodala found himself caught up in the wonderful memories of his post-victory and quickly came to his senses.

"Hahaha, nothing to be sorry about. You have also seen our offer, 48 million in 4 years! I believe that this is a reflection of our sincerity. When Cole reported the figure of 48 million in four years, he was confident.

With an average of 12 million a year, this is a price that Grizzlies cannot offer. If the Grizzlies follow the bid, the salary space is completely locked up. Because of the contracts of Link, Gasol and Randolph alone, it takes up $45.33 million in space.

$45.33 million, equivalent to 71% of this year's salary cap! After the Grizzlies re-signed Link, they will have to use less than 40% of the remaining salary space to get other players. And this 40%, the Grizzlies can't use all of it on Iguodala.

Iguodala nodded, 4 years 4800, which is indeed a very sincere offer for a support player. He also knew that Grizzlies would not be able to offer such a price.

Seeing Iguodala nodding, Kerr immediately stepped up his offense, "In the new season, I can guarantee that the Golden State Warriors will change dramatically." We made the playoffs last season and we have a good foundation. After my makeover, I believe our team can get close to the championship. Stephen. Curry is fully mature, Klay. Thompson also played his value. We have a lot of potential next season and if you want to win the title, I can tell you you can do it in Auckland! ”

"And I know, you've been investing. Places like Oakland are undoubtedly better for investment than Memphis. No offense, but Memphis is too far behind in terms of economy compared to the Bay Area! In the Bay Area, you can not only win the championship, but also build your own business empire! ”

Cole came prepared, he played all the cards in his hand and waited for Iguodala to nod. To use a line from the movie "The Godfather", Cole thinks that what he has given is an "offer that cannot be refused".

As a result, Iguodala did not speak for a long time. He looked at his hands, as if thinking about something.

Finally, Iguodala smiled politely, "I'm glad you guys take me so seriously, but...... I need to think about it. ”

"Of course, this is the big thing that will determine the direction of your career, and you should think about it! I'll wait for your reply, Andrey. We need you, and Auckland needs you. With the Warriors, you get it all! ”

Cole was still confident, and he thought Iguodala would say yes anyway. Thinking about it is just a polite remark before the official cooperation.

But actually, Iguodala said he had to think about it, and that was literal......
