Reverse Growth Superstar

Latest website: After the 2014 draft, the top three players in the draft, especially Wiggins, naturally became the most watched people.

Wiggins signed a five-year shoe contract with Adidas, worth 11 million, just after the draft.

Stepping into the pinnacle of life overnight, I was talking about a guy like Wiggins.

The defending champion has always had a sense of presence in the draft. Even if Link was in the draft, people were indifferent to the Grizzlies' draft.

Except for the diehard fans of the Grizzlies, no one remembers what the Grizzlies did in the draft.

Looking at the ending of Jamal Franklin, you know what a second-round show means to a championship-level team. Maybe Dinwiddie and Jokic will be traded this time next year?

Therefore, let alone fans from other places. Even many local Memphis fans are indifferent to Dinwiddie and Jokic.

The draft is over, and now people are more concerned about the next free agent market and transfer market.

Will LeBron James stay in Miami? If James is gone, will Bosh stay? Will Anthony and Kobe join forces? Where will star veterans like Nowitzki and Gasol go?

These news, just looking at the headline is enough to make fans climax collectively.

However, the Grizzlies themselves have shown enough attention to these two second-round picks.

Dinwiddie and Jokic came to the Grizzlies to report the day after the draft.

Dinwiddie was not surprised that he was selected. Although he fell to the second round, he always believed that he would not lose.

He just wants to quickly prove himself and try to gain a foothold in the NBA.

Jokic was obviously surprised by his current situation, because he always thought that his trial with the Grizzlies was completely messed up, and he never expected that he would return to Memphis again.

For Dinwiddie, the Grizzlies deal is simple. Once the transfer market opens, the Grizzlies will offer Dinwiddie a three-year contract. And Wallace also explained that unless Dinwiddie first proves himself in the development league, otherwise he will not enter the rotation lineup.

But he can train with the main players of the Grizzlies, which is a little benefit given to him by the Grizzlies.

Dinwiddie has no objection to this, and the second round show has no right to choose. As long as there is a chance, we must seize it.

As the team’s star, Link also encouraged Dinwiddie, "Come on, I was also in the development league. The starting point is not important, what is important is the process."

Dinwiddie was very encouraged. As a second-round pick, he did not expect to be personally interviewed by the team's head star, which made him feel that he was valued.

What's more, Link is a role model for almost all second-round picks and losers. His successful example has inspired countless such players to work hard. So this chicken soup is very convincing to say from Link's mouth.

Dinwiddie is full of enthusiasm now, just want to immediately put into training. As long as he maintains this drive, Link believes that he will not be worse than the original history.

As for Jokic, the situation is much more complicated than Dinwiddie. On the first day of the report, Chris Wallace said bluntly, “If you don’t lose weight, I’m afraid you will not even reach the level of the development alliance now.”

Jokic, who had just been happy for a while, immediately turned black, scratching his head embarrassedly.

"But don't worry, we have formulated a complete weight loss and training plan for you. In the next year, we want you to go to Europe to polish for another year. Of course, we will send a nutritionist and a physical trainer to monitor the whole process. You, help you complete training."

After listening to Wallace's words, Jokic curled his lips. He felt he was happy for nothing.

Called back to Europe by the team to play for another year, there is a feeling of being returned. Those players who did not land in the NBA immediately after the draft, most of their lives never get the opportunity to land in the NBA again.

Jokic knew that he was in a bad situation now.

So looking at that terrifying training plan, Jokic did not show Dinwiddie's enthusiasm, but was very frustrated.

Can't eat fried food, can't drink carbonated drinks, it might as well kill him!

Although the personnel of the two sides finally reached a consensus, they agreed to return to Europe for another year. But before leaving, both Link and Wallace could clearly see the unwillingness on Jokic's face.

"It seems that your big fat boy wanted to give up before he even started." After all Jokic's staff left the office, Wallace shrugged at Link.

Jokic’s fighting spirit is very problematic, which may be more serious than his size problem.

"He is different from most basketball players because he didn't really love basketball when he was a kid. I heard that when his father forced him to practice basketball, he would cry every time before training." Link was also a little dumbfounded, Jokey Qi is indeed a very special case.

"In any case, we will give him a year. After a year, let's see what he can become. Now, leave Dinwiddie and Jokic alone. It's you, Link. The transfer market will soon It’s going to start, you should be ready to sign."

"I stayed here for so long, just for this. My manager Jeff Austin will come to Memphis the first day the free agent market opens, and we can complete the signing on the first day." Link laughed Laugh, he is not so concerned about his signing this summer.

"Actually, I don't think Mr. Jeff Austin has to come. Because he will come or not, our quotes are the same. Don't worry, Link, we will do our best to renew your contract with the maximum salary."

"I have no doubt about this." Link is ready to hand over the next five years to Memphis.

July 1, the first day the NBA transfer market opened. Early in the morning, Jeff Austin and Link came to Chris Wallace's office.

In addition to Chris Wallace, Grizzlies owner Robert Pera also attended the signing scene.

The two sides shook hands with each other, then exchanged a few words, and the negotiation officially began.

After the negotiations began, Pella and Wallace seemed a little embarrassed. They gave the sample contract to Austin and Link respectively, and said apologetically, "According to the rules of the league, this is the maximum salary we can come up with."

Link opened the contract and looked at it. It was $93 million in 5 years. That's a lot, it's already an astronomical figure!

Why did Pella and Wallace act as if they owed themselves.

"I know that this summer, James, Anthony and even Chris Bosh and other free agents will sign a contract worth hundreds of millions of dollars. To be honest, we agree that Link is more valuable than them. But according to the rules, Players who have played in the league for 0-6 years can only receive a maximum salary of 25% of their salary cap. We also used the Bird clause for this purpose, increasing Link’s annual salary increase and adding everything that can be added. , The total salary can only be up to 93 million U.S. dollars. Unfortunately, the contract does not exceed 100 million. However, this is due to the rules of the league. We tried our best."

Before Link could ask any questions, Wallace took the initiative to explain.

Jeff Austin smiled. As a professional manager, he certainly understands the league rules. "I understand that no team in the league can offer a higher price than this. If it weren't for the rules, I certainly believe you. I am willing to offer a contract of 100 million yuan."

"If there are no rules, 200 million, no, 300 million I would be willing!" Robert Pera hurriedly answered.

"Of course, I firmly believe in this. There is no more to talk about the amount of the contract. This maximum salary is already the highest salary allowed by the rules, and I think Link is also very satisfied. But... "

"Oh, yes. In addition, the contract also comes with the right to veto the deal~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and the last year is a player option. Link can jump out early and choose a contract with a higher renewal amount. These , Even if it’s a small compensation that we can’t exceed 100 million in the contract amount.” Before Jeff Austin could say the content behind “but”, Wallace rushed to answer.

Austin nodded contentedly, and Wallace was really sensible, "Then there is nothing wrong, Link, if you think there is nothing wrong, you can sign the contract now."

Link raised the pen and signed his name on the contract worth 93 million US dollars.

In the past, he could only sign a contract for 10 days and 10 days. But now, one sign is five years, and one sign is close to 100 million yuan.

Of course, the most important thing is. In the next 5 years, he can continue to show his fists in Memphis!

When Link signed his name on the contract, Robert Pera knew. The plan to establish a dynasty is already on the agenda!

"Happy cooperation, Link, let us embrace more champions!" Pera stood up, and the big rock in his heart finally fell.
