On the first day after the free agent market opened, the biggest news was undoubtedly that Link renewed his contract with a maximum salary of $93 million for five years.

Link played for four years with the Grizzlies. Normally, he was no different from a rookie who had just fulfilled his rookie contract.

Usually, a player who has just completed a rookie contract signs a maximum salary with the team. Even if the maximum salary is not particularly high, it is worthy of his value.

For example, the draft No. 1 pick "Uncle Drew" Irving, who was the same year as Link, will be able to obtain a contract range of between 85 million and 90 million this summer, similar to Link.

Although Irving has great potential, since he is still young, the price of 85-90 million to 90 million is still very consistent with his value.

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

Everyone always thinks that Link’s salary is too low, and why is his contract so much higher than Irving?

It is not difficult to explain why people feel this way. Because there is no player in NBA history who has won the championship twice in the first four years of his career, and has also completed the personal honors and Grand Slam achievements of MVP, FMVP and the best defensive player!

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

Link and Irving cannot even be compared, and the hard honors are too different!

Therefore, people 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!

In the outside world, most people think that the Grizzlies have taken a big advantage. They only use the price of an ordinary star to leave a superstar!

Of course, in addition to this, some people think that the Grizzlies' management is particularly treacherous. The reason why this view appears is mainly because of the veto power of the final contract transaction and the player options.

"The Grizzlies' $93 million contract is the largest amount allowed by the rules. They don't owe Link anything, so why do you have to add a trade veto to Link? Link will not be easy to use in the future, and they can't even take him!"

"The Grizzlies may have forgotten how Kobe tortured the Lakers with his trade veto. This kind of overbearing clause cannot be used randomly."

"KD has no trade veto power, and LeBron has no trade veto power, but Link has. In fact, if Link is not counted, only five people in the entire NBA history have trade veto power. Hahahaha, the Grizzlies are so pitiful, this is the tragedy of the small city team."

"Player option? Oh my God, if the Grizzlies don't do it in four years, Link will kick them away!"

"The Grizzlies are so stupid. They are completely under Link's control!"

"There are many overlord clauses that allow us to see the side of Link's businessman."

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

The next day, Link found that countless fans complaining about the signing of the contract appeared on the Internet.

If a villain is a long time, he will be hacked if he signs a contract.

If you don’t know, you might think that Link was holding a knife on Wallace and Pera’s neck, and it seemed like they were forced to add the trade veto and the player options.

Link was also speechless about this. There were people who said that Durant had no veto power to make a deal. Link really wanted to ask the fans who said this, does Durant have two championships?

To sum up, in terms of the amount, those people could not find the black spots of this contract, so they simply turned the black out of the terms.

If Link could sign a 100 million yuan contract this summer, there would definitely be a dark man who would jump out and say that he was not worth so much money.

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

Neither Link nor Grizzlies responded positively to this, because it was completely unreasonable to tell anything about Kuroko.

Now, after completing the draft and renewal, Link has flew to Europe with Rachel to start their sweet summer vacation.

Even the dark guys were so dark that they could not see them.

Link is relaxed now, but the Grizzlies still have some other players who are still wandering in the free agent market.

For example, Andre Iguodala, a meritorious player in the Grizzlies' two consecutive championships.

Seeing the Grizzlies defeating Link for 93 million in 5 years, the happiest thing is undoubtedly the Warriors' new coach Steve Cole!

After Link signed a maximum salary contract with the Grizzlies, the Grizzlies have little left in their salary space this season! At this time, he and the Warriors can take advantage of the opportunity to "stole" Iguodala whom he had been thinking about day and night!

So after the Grizzlies renewed their contract with Link, the Warriors immediately made an appointment with Iguodala, and Iguodala agreed.

Cole is confident about this. As long as he puts the puzzle of Iguodala on it, he believes that the Golden State Warriors will usher in a new era!

The two sides chose to meet in New York, and Iguodala looked like a suit and tie when she appeared in front of Cole.

He was polite and did not act like a big shot, which surprised Cole.

After all, the Grizzlies where Iguodala is located are not a "polite" team. He thought Iguodala would show some banditry.

At that time, Cole suddenly realized that people actually didn't really understand the Memphis Grizzlies.

"I'm glad to meet you, Andre. At the same time, congratulations on getting the second championship ring in your career." Cole also put on his kind side, trying to narrow the distance with Iguodala.

"Thank you, Steve. Speaking of which, it's really a wonderful memory... Sorry, let's talk about the serious matter." Iguodala found herself in the wonderful memories after winning the championship, so she hurriedly came back to her senses.

"Hahaha, there is nothing to be sorry for. You have also read our offer, 48 million in four years! I believe that this can reflect our sincerity." When Cole reported the 48 million in four years, he was confident.

The average annual price is 12 million yuan, which is the price that the Grizzlies cannot offer. If the Grizzlies bid, their salary space will be completely locked. Because the contract between LvLink, Gasol and Randolph occupies 45.33 million US dollars.

45.33 million US dollars, equivalent to 71% of the salary cap this year! After the Grizzlies renewed their contract with Link, they can only use less than 40% of the remaining salary space to deal with other players. And this 40%, the Grizzlies cannot use all of them on Iguodala.

Iguodala nodded, 4,800 in 4 years. For a support player, this is indeed a very sincere offer. He also knows that the Grizzlies cannot offer such a price.

Seeing Iguodala nodding, Cole immediately strengthened his offensive, "What I can guarantee in the new season is that the Golden State Warriors will undergo a huge change. We made it into the playoffs last season, and we have a good foundation. After my transformation, I believe our team can be close to the championship. Stephen Curry is fully mature, and Klay Thompson has also made a fortune. We have unlimited potential next season. If you want to win the championship, I can tell you that you can also win it in Oakland!"

"And I know, you have been investing. A place like Oakland is undoubtedly more suitable for investment than Memphis. No intention to offend, but compared with the Bay Area, Memphis is really too behind! In the Bay Area, you can not only win the championship, but also build your own business empire!"

Cole came prepared. After playing all the cards in his hand, he waited for Iguodala to nod. To describe it, Cole believed that what he gave was a "unrejectable proposal."

As a result, Iguodala didn't speak for a long time. He looked at his hands as if he was thinking about something.

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

"Of course, this is a big thing that determines the direction of your career and should be considered carefully! I will wait for your reply, Andre. We need you, Oakland needs you. In the Warriors, you can get everything!"

Cole was still full of confidence. He believed that Iguodala would agree in the end. Considering it was just a polite statement before the formal cooperation.
Chapter completed!
