At noon on July 2, the eagerly awaited Memphis fans finally waited for the Grizzlies' first signing this summer.

Derek Ross posted a photo with Link in the showroom on his social media. At the same time, the Grizzlies officially announced that they signed Derek Ross for two years of $13 million!

Next season, he will wear the No. 1 jersey back and compete in the Federal Express Arena!

Ross originally wanted to continue wearing No. 25, but he mustered up the courage to change back to No. 1.

He told himself, if he didn't even have the courage to catch up with him, how could he challenge the world to compete for the championship?

Rose's joining made Grizzlies fans extremely excited.

Although Ross is no longer the youngest MVP of that year, he is not the best player in the league.

But Ross is very popular. No matter which team he joins, fans there will be warmly welcome.

Therefore, Rose's arrival still made Memphis fans more relieved.

Of course, some people are not optimistic about this contract.

Among them, the most active one is Sam Smith.

The Grizzlies just announced that they had signed Ross less than ten minutes after Sam Smith's social media account was updated again.

"Derick Ross? If the Grizzlies think that signing such a player can continue to win the championship, then good luck."

There are many people who have the same idea as Sam Smith. The Grizzlies took Rose, which is indeed a good signing.

After all, the Grizzlies don’t have many choices now. There are fewer and fewer high-quality players in the free agent market.

Moreover, the Grizzlies only have a little salary space.

How much money does it cost to do as much as you want? It is indeed very good to sign Ross under such circumstances.

But will this signing really bring the Grizzlies closer to the championship? No one would think so.

Compared with Whiteside's trade and Reddick's joining the Pelicans and other big news, Ross' joining the Grizzlies did not cause much waves.

The same thing is true, no one believes Rose anymore.

Those who believe in him may only be him and Link.

That night, when all the fans were waiting for the latest transfer news.

A comment suddenly appeared under Sam Smith's social media updates.

"Shut up your stinky mouth and take a good look at me."

Link finally responded to Sam Smith!

At the same time, Link posted a p-picture of himself and Rose fighting side by side in Grizzlies jerseys on his social media.

The above words are very simple: "Two MVPs cannot lose. The top scorer may have parallel products, but MVPs do not."

※※※

Link finally responded to Sam Smith, which made Grizzlies fans cheer.

Link is still the same Link. Although he has become a husband and father, he still will not be gentle to his enemies.

Link's sentence "The top scorer may have a parallel product, but MVP does not" has received a lot of likes.

Link knew very well that Rose was definitely not the kind of player who was willing to be mediocre.

And to be honest, his current state is better than most people think.

It is no exaggeration to say that there is no big difference between Rose now and Wade, who helped the Grizzlies win the championship a few years ago.

Even in projection, Ross is more stable than Wade in his twilight years at that time.

Wade could help the Grizzlies win the championship at that time, why couldn't Ross?

After Dinwiddie and others leave, Ross will play the role of the Grizzlies' sixth man next season.

Link believes that Ross can make the Grizzlies' second squad quite threatening.

Of course, signing Rose is definitely not enough. The Grizzlies now have only 8 people in full play, and they can’t even be considered a complete team.

At least three or four more people have to be signed, so that the Grizzlies' lineup will be considered complete.

But soon, Chris Wallace and Robert Pera made progress.

Link is not the only one who is trying to recruit players.

Early in the morning of July 3, the Grizzlies officially announced that they signed the third and fourth position swinger Jay Michael Green with a one-year and $4.8 million contract.

Green is 2.06 meters tall and has a wingspan of 2.19 meters. He has solid defense, reliable three-pointers, excellent athletic ability and strong style. He is a truly top-notch player.

He is the typical power forward in the small ball era, able to play from the third to the fifth.

He can be understood as a Harrell who has weak defensive and athletic abilities but has enhanced projection ability.

Last season in the Clippers, he shot 41% of his three-point shooting percentage!

This forward who is hard, black, can shoot three-pointers and is not very old should be very popular, and it should not be the Grizzlies' turn.

That's true, Jay Michael Green is considered one of the best non-superstar players in the free agent market this summer.

As many as 8 teams have offered him quotes, and the amount is not low.

But in the end, he chose the Grizzly Bear, which doesn't have much money.

The reason is simple. When Chris Wallace said the words "You can help Link to the top", Jamie Chel Green completely fell.

Like Link, Green is a undraft pick. He once played in the Development League and even had the idea of ​​simply giving up the NBA and going abroad to make gold.

It was Link's success that inspired him and prevented him from giving up on the NBA's dream. In the end, he survived and became a hot player in the NBA league.

Link has always been an idol of Jamie Cheung, and he cannot refuse the temptation of playing with Link.

Just like back then, countless people wanted to play with Jordan.

So, Jamie Green chose Memphis. For the sake of the championship and to fight side by side with his idol, he would rather give up some money.

His arrival also greatly supplemented the Grizzlies' position 4, which had been evacuated.

The Grizzlies fans applauded again, thinking that the Grizzlies' current salary space would not be able to defeat Green. Unexpectedly, Link's influence played a role again.

However, this is not the last signing of the Grizzlies today.

On the afternoon of the 3rd, when fans were still discussing how Jermichael Green would play with the Grizzlies next season, Wallace finalized another signing.

The No. 13th pick in 2011, averaged 14+6 per game at his peak. Forward Markieff Morris, who played for the Oklahoma City Thunder, entered Memphis last season.

He signed a $3.6 million one-year contract with the Grizzlies.

Markieff Morris has a lot of offensive methods, but the three-pointers are still a bit of a bad idea.

In the eyes of many people, what the Grizzlies now needs is the space-type fourth position. Taking a fourth position that likes to attack with the ball but is unstable in three-pointers will not help Link at all.

Compared to Markieff Morris, his twin brother Marcus Morris is obviously more suitable for the Grizzlies. Unfortunately, Marcus has agreed to sign with the Spurs.

But what was unexpected was that one and a half hours after signing Markkeff, the Grizzlies really won Marcus Morris!

Marcus Morris and Markieff Morris not only look exactly the same, but also plays similarly. But overall, there are still some differences. One of the two brothers plays inward and the other is outward.

Marcus's three-pointers are much more reliable than Markieff. Last season at the Celtics, his three-point shooting percentage is as high as 37.5%, and he can average 13 points per game.

In fact, the reason why the Grizzlies signed Markieff Morris was to attract his brother to join. The Grizzlies' real goal is Marcus!

Originally, Marcus had agreed to sign a contract with the Spurs. But when he heard that the Grizzlies had signed their brothers and hoped that they would also join, Marcus released the Spurs pigeons and instead signed a contract with the Grizzlies Lightning.

The relationship between the two brothers Marcus and Markieff is very good. They played the same team until college. After entering the NBA, they also briefly gathered in the Phoenix Suns.

Both brothers enjoyed the feeling of fighting side by side with each other and expressed their desire to play for the same team more than once.

Now, there is finally another chance to play in a team, and there is hope of winning the championship, so the two brothers will naturally not refuse.

With Marcus verbally agreeing to sign a contract with the Spurs, the Grizzlies came to attract deep brotherhood and got Marcus.

It’s just a pity that the Spurs fans, the high-quality players they got ran away just like that.

At this point, the Grizzlies completed three signings in one day, and their lineup has basically improved.

Although the luxury of the lineup is greatly reduced compared to the three consecutive championships, it is absolutely impossible to reach the stage of reconstruction.

The most important thing is that these three Grizzlies were "snatched" from the opponent, and they were all players that people originally thought the Grizzlies could not sign.

Green was going to renew his contract with the Clippers, but was attracted by Link's personal charm.

The Morris brothers had reached an agreement with the Pistons and Spurs respectively, but were packaged and accepted by the Grizzlies.

Including Rose, who had been preparing to sign a contract with the Pistons but was convinced by Link, the Grizzlies had accidentally snatched four people from other teams!

The quality of these four contracts is beyond Sam Smith's imagination.
Chapter completed!
