Reverse Growth Superstar

45 million in 3 years. To be honest, the price is higher than Link's expectations.

At first, Link imagined that he could have an estimated 12 million a year. After all, this is 2011, the labor negotiations have not ended, the new sky-high live broadcast contract has not been signed, and the league salary cap has not yet skyrocketed.

Link just remembers clearly that in 13 years when the Warriors first signed and then exchanged for Iguodala, the contract offered was 48 million for 4 years. Calculated, Iguodala at that time was also 12 million a year.

Although Iguodala is not a superstar, but at that time "Big Brother" is definitely a leader-level player. In the season before the move to the Warriors, Iguodala averaged 18.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 5.3 assists and a terrible 2.0 steals in the playoffs! Compared with Link, the data is worse than ever.

And Iguodala was only 29 years old at that time, just in time. But Link is younger than Iguodala at the time and has more room for growth than he was at the time, so it's okay to get an estimate of 12 million when the data is close.

Who knows, it was a small surprise that the Grizzlies had directly signed a three-year 45 million contract.

"Originally, Chris Wallace wanted to sign a 4-year long contract with you, but I didn’t agree. Because no one knows what will happen after the labor-management negotiations are over. If the salary cap soars by then, you will definitely be signing a 4-year contract now Suffering. Therefore, to show my sincerity, I am willing to sign with the Grizzlies for 3 years. After 3 years, if all goes well, I think they should come to you with the maximum salary.

"Maximum..." Link licked his lips, what a dreamy word, now he is only three years away from him.

"I believe in your strength, just like I was determined to only sign you and the Grizzlies for one year at the beginning. The result? Now, one year later, your value has doubled tenfold! Some people say that the long contract Safe, that way, even if the player is not in good condition, you can get the full salary. Sign a short contract, if the player is not in good condition, the price will drop immediately. But your performance makes me confident, Link. Look at you all this summer What did you do? Let the championship Dallas Mavericks almost collapse. I believe that in three years, you will not be unemployed and will not fall in price. In addition to the maximum salary, we can refuse any invitation from any team!" Austin is already drawing Lin. Ke and his bright future, when he chose to be Link’s manager, he was already fantasizing about these.

However, the actual situation is much smoother than Jeff Austin imagined!

"At that time, they might drive a cash truck to see me." After Link finished speaking, he suddenly shut up.

The last person who said this sentence has never seen a team give him a maximum salary in his life. Bad luck, bad luck...

"Of course, all of this is just a preliminary plan. Specifically, we have to wait until after the labor-management negotiations. I have done as you requested, Link. Set the Grizzlies as the first signing target, and it will also allow you to be in the gray The Bears will continue to play for three years. With me here, you don't have to worry about anything. The only thing you need to do is play well! You played well this year. I believe that in the future, the Grizzlies and you will have a better future!"

"Thank you for your care, Mr. Jeff Austin." Link suddenly felt very heartwarming. Sure enough, a good manager can make a player's career more effective.

"By the way, Link, you just said you studied the 2011 draft roster? What? You are also interested in the next future star?"

"Um... take a look. By the way, Mr. Austin, have you heard of Jimmy Butler?" Link suddenly had a bad taste, wanting to hear what people now think of the superstars in the future .

"Jimmy Butler? Hell, why are you and Chris Wallace paying attention to this kid."

"What did you say?" Link opened his mouth suddenly.

"Damn it."

"Next sentence!"

"I said, your lovely general manager, Mr. Chris Wallace, also mentioned that guy named Jimmy Butler to me last time." Austin stretched out his hands with a dazed expression.

※※※

The NBA games of the 10-11 season are all over, but Chris Wallace knows that the war on the team's general managers has just begun.

This year, labor-management negotiations went very poorly, and the NBA may usher in the fifth shutdown in league history. There is no doubt that this has had a great impact on the signings of the teams.

But there is one thing that will never be affected by labor negotiations, and that is the draft conference!

This year, the Grizzlies can reach the Western Conference Finals, which surprised Chris Wallace. When he signed for Link, he really just wanted to add to the team's third substitute. Unexpectedly, Link actually played an extremely incredible potential. And this season, the progress of Randolph, Gasol, Conley and others are also very obvious.

The Grizzlies reached the Western Conference finals and almost turned the championship, which made Chris Wallace unable to sit back and watch. They now have a further possibility. If Wallace does nothing, he thinks he will owe the team a lot.

In the middle of the season, rumors about the trade between O.J. Mayo and Rudy Gay have never stopped, and many teams have indeed asked Wallace for prices. But Wallace did not let any transactions happen for the sake of safety.

But now, when the team reached the Western Conference Finals, when Link and Randolph had a great chemical reaction, Chris Wallace felt that the shackles tied to him seemed to disappear instantly.

In April this year, the Grizzlies have renewed their contract with Randolph in advance. A few days ago, Wallace also reached an verbal agreement with Jeff Austin to renew Link. In other words, the Grizzlies’ core lineup has been established, and they finally found a clear development direction from so many years of chaos.

Now that the direction is clear, there is no time to delay what remains to be done! Sign up, reinforce, let the Grizzlies go one step further, and strive to win the Western Conference championship, and even the championship!

Wallace knows that this sounds crazy, relying on a bunch of "despised" players, want to win the championship?

But it turns out that the Grizzlies can really make things crazy. A year ago, who would have thought that the Grizzlies, who couldn't make the playoffs, could play in the Western Conference Finals?

The free agent market will not open for the time being, and Wallace has decided to start from the draft.

This year, the Grizzlies only hold a second-round pick. In all second-round picks, Wallace chose a senior rookie named Jimmy Butler.

The scout report clearly pointed out: Jimmy Butler is a player full of energy and willing to defend, but lacks scoring ability and lacks explosive power.

Wallace has watched many of Jimmy Butler's college game videos and sent scouts to observe for a period of time. He believes that Jimmy Butler is entirely possible to be trained as the next Tony Allen!

Therefore, he decided to win Jimmy with his second-round pick. But these days, Jimmy Butler's draft market suddenly rose from No. 56 to No. 33, which made Wallace extremely nervous.

The opportunity to reinforce through the draft is only once, if it is missed, it will be the next year. Therefore, Chris Wallace decided to trade a first-round pick.

It doesn't need to be too high, just use the last part of the first round!

As for the bargaining chips...Chris Wallace believes that O.J. Mayo’s trade rumors should be ended...

Link's changes to the Grizzlies history may be much greater than he imagined.
