In the three-year playoff journey, the total record is 0 wins and 12 losses...

"LOGO Man" Jerry West said: "This team is not easy to lead."

After not performing well in the playoffs for three years, the owner of the Grizzlies is anxious.

There are no big stars willing to come to Memphis. There are no big stars, and the results are neither good nor bad. The results are neither good nor bad, and no one wants to come to Memphis...a vicious cycle.

This won't work!

Pau Gasol played for the Grizzlies for five years and his record was 0 wins and 12 losses in the playoffs.

The Grizzlies management believes that this is basically the limit of the Spaniard as the core leader of the team.

What’s the point of spending it like this anymore?

Let’s do it again!

So, they traded Shane Battier for Rudy Gay, and this was just a signal.

Next, it's Gasol's turn.

Seeing the management busy selling the team and rebuilding the team every day, as if rebuilding only takes a year or two, LOGO Man felt exhausted both physically and mentally.

I really want to change a place and start over...

Well, in a book that Wayne read, if the Grizzlies want to rise again, they have to wait until the young diamond king Lao Wu owner buys the team and signs an undrafted guy named Link. This will be considered nirvana.

Rebirth.

But that's just that, in reality, the Grizzlies' rise will definitely take much longer than that.

The key to whether it can rise depends on the second-round pick sent by the Trail Blazers.

After Pau Gasol learned that he had been traded, he told the Grizzlies a shocking secret, thinking that it was a peaceful breakup: "My younger brother is better than me, so you must not miss him!"

As for the Grizzlies, believe it or not, Gasol can't control them.

I don’t know what Xiaojia feels: "I obviously had the opportunity to go to the big football market, but you pushed me to go to the big country. You are my brother!"

In fact, after Gasol was traded to the Trail Blazers, the most anxious person was not West, but Popovich!

"Haha, that's a few coins in exchange for 100 yuan!" After the deal was concluded, Popovich responded in an interview with reporters.

Can old thief Vicki not be irritable?

The Lakers used to have a glorious bandit tradition of "picking guards to grab centers."

Later, some pioneers formed the group Wei Ge and his sister-in-law. This damned western region left no way for people to survive!

All monsters!

Popovich was really anxious and jumped in a hurry.

You guys are really playing this game, it's not fair at all!

When Wayne first came to the West, Popovich thought that the Trail Blazers were not a threat anyway.

But now that Gasol has joined the Trail Blazers, the situation is different.

Although Gasol has played so far, he has three honors: Rookie of the Year, First Team Rookie and All-Star Reserve.

Oh, he was selected as the All-Star substitute last season because Stoudemire was out for the season.

In terms of honor, Gasol is not even a serious All-Star player.

But he is really strong.

He averages close to 20+10 points per game, is skilled in the low post, has a height of 213cm and a wingspan of 230cm, and his defense is above average, not to mention top-notch.

His playing style is just not that exciting, but his defense is not as vulnerable as he thought.

Gasol may not be that interesting as the cornerstone of the team, but he's more than enough as a support player!

Can Popovich not be grumpy?

A lottery team, a fringe playoff team, has now suddenly become a powerhouse.

How can this be fought?

Randolph: You are the coin, and your whole family is the coin! The bad old man is very bad!

Well, in this transaction, people say that the draft pick is the main part, and Zach is just the balancer.

It is estimated that the fat man who is used to breaking things will rise early in Memphis after this stimulation.

I don't know why, but seeing Popovich being so irritable, even though it's none of Wayne's business, Wayne still felt secretly happy.

You are the one who is angry!

Let me tell you, even if I can't meet you next season, I, Brother Yao, can still clean up the mess for you.

Are you kidding me by taking a combination of drugs? Humph!

This season is truly the Wild West.

The Lakers, Spurs, Suns, Mavericks, Nuggets, Jazz, and Trail Blazers are all very strong.

Mosaic may not want to be expelled from the ranks of "strong teams", so on the third day of the free agent market, they lured the big money with 58 million in four years.

Originally, the salary offered by the Bulls was higher than that of Mosaic, and they gave me 60 million for four years.

As a result, Goulei lied: "Let me tell you, Ben, Mosaic is a team with a great center tradition! Moreover, our coach Van Gundy is very good at defense, and you will definitely shine in his hands!"

We still have Tracy and Shane Battier, and we will strengthen this summer. We are closer to victory than the Bulls!

And being in the west can save you from killing each other with your old friends, so why not?"

Da Ben was deceived and became lame, so he boarded Mosaic's pirate ship.

This is very harmful to the bull.

Although the offer offered by Mosaic is not higher than that of the Bulls, it is still a full 10 million more than the Pistons. There is still a chance of winning, so Ben naturally prefers places where he can win.

At this point, the Houston media started to go awry again.

"DPOY+ scoring champion, Mosaic is about to take off, heading straight for the championship!"

How come there are so few repertoires for the championship every year?

The Eastern Conference teams fainted in the bathroom crying.

Everyone who could be signed was signed by Western Conference teams.

However, this is just the beginning. The battle to grab people in the West has just begun.

The Lakers and Trail Blazers simultaneously targeted the defensively active second-round pick Trevor Ariza in 2004. As a result, the Lakers struck first again and recruited Ariza for 9.3 million in three years.

Paul Allen is really angry and insists on forcing me to use my money power?

So after the Blazers failed to sign Ariza, they immediately poached James Posey, the hero of the Heat's championship last season, with a two-year, 15 million contract.

Posey has a player option after this season, but even if the rest of the contract is executed, it will only be worth 6.4 million a year.

Now the Trail Blazers are directly paid 15 million in two years. On average, the annual salary is 1 million less than that of the Heat. Can this be tolerated?

For a puzzle-type player like Posey, to be honest, one championship is enough, and it is still profitable!

So, he readily agreed to the Blazers' invitation.

It’s not that I don’t love Miami, but they really give too much away!

Posey had just been taken away, and the Lakers traded Chris Mihm and Smush Parker from the Warriors for the Green Hat.

After all, Green Hat is a point guard who is familiar with the triangle offense. The Jackson needs him now and he must answer the call.

The Warriors actually didn't want to let him go, but Lao Yu cried, made a fuss, and hung himself. Anyway, he was just making a fuss, and finally forced the Warriors to make a deal.

After Fisher, the Trail Blazers took action again, first renewing the contract of white center Przbilla, and then giving the 36-year-old "kidney fighter" Mourning, who only received a veteran's basic salary of 1.1 million last season, a shocking offer.

4.5 million per year for a person!

This is probably the legendary money war...

Mourning was also confused because he was actually still considering whether to continue playing next season.

After all, he has won a championship, and it is time to enjoy his retirement life. But if he continues to earn more, Mourning will not refuse.

Now money suddenly fell from the sky, and Mourning said he couldn't control it.

"Fuck!" Pat Riley was speechless. He had originally prepared 2.5 million a year to keep Mourning, and he felt that this was already very sincere.

After all, few veterans can still get a salary increase at this age.

Who knew that the Pacers' 4.5 million would completely disrupt Riley's plan.

Now how can you ask Riley to get the 2.5 million?

and......

Forget about poaching Posey, but still poaching Mourning, just be a human being!

Mourning hesitated for a while, and finally told Riley very apologetically: "I decided to go to the west to see how dangerous it is."

Riley: Look at Hammer, you are just greedy for his money!
