Two Hundred and Ten: Draft Supplementary Method

45 million in 3 years, to be honest, this price is higher than Link expected.

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 skyrocketed.

Link just clearly remembers that when the Warriors signed and then acquired Iguodala in 2013, the contract was 4 years and 48 million. After all, Iguodala was also 12 million a year at that time.

Although Iguodala is not a superstar, the "first brother" at that time was definitely a leader-level player. In the season before moving to the Warriors, Iguodala averaged 18.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 5.3 assists and a terrible 2.0 steals per game in the playoffs! Compared with Link, the data is even better.

And Iguodala was only 29 years old at the time, and it was in his prime. But Link is younger than Iguodala at the time and has more room to rise than he was at the time, so it is estimated that it is no problem to get 12 million in the case of a close data.

Who knows, the Grizzlies actually directly reported a 3-year 45 million contract, which is a small surprise.

"Originally Chris Wallace wanted to sign you a 4-year long-term contract, but I didn't agree. Because after the labor negotiation is over, no one knows what will happen. If the salary cap skyrockets, you will definitely sign a 4-year contract now. So, to show my sincerity, I am willing to sign with the Grizzlies for 3 years. After 3 years, if everything goes well, I think they should come to see you with a max salary.”

"Maximum salary..." Link licked his lips, what a dreamy word, now he is only 3 years away.

"I believe in your strength, just like at the beginning I was determined to only let you sign with the Grizzlies for one year. What's the result? One year later, your worth has doubled tenfold! Some people say that a long-term contract is more expensive. It's safe, that way you can get your full salary even if the player isn't in shape. Sign a short contract, and if the player isn't in shape, the price will drop immediately. But your performance gives me confidence, Link. Look at how much you've done this summer What did you do? Let the championship Dallas Mavericks almost collapse. I believe that after three years, you will not lose your job, nor will your price drop. Except for the maximum salary, we can refuse the invitation of any team!" Austin is already outlining 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 more smooth than Jeff Austin imagined!

"When the time comes, they may come to see me in a cash truck." After Link finished speaking, he suddenly shut up.

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

"Of course, all of this is just a preliminary plan. We'll have to wait until after the labor negotiation. I've done what you asked, Link. Make the Grizzlies the number one signing target, and it will also allow you to be in the Grizzlies. 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 to play well! You have played well this year, and I believe in the future, the Grizzlies and you can have a better future!"

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

"By the way, Link, you just said you were researching the 2011 draft list? What? You're also interested in the next future star?"

"Uh... just 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 today think of future superstars .

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

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

"Damn it."

"Next sentence!"

"I said, your lovely general manager Mr. Chris Wallace,

The guy named Jimmy Butler was mentioned to me last time. "Austin spread his hands in confusion.

The 2010-11 NBA season is over, but Chris Wallace knows that the war on general managers has only just begun.

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

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

This year, Chris Wallace was surprised that the Grizzlies reached the Western Conference finals. When he signed Link, he really just wanted to supplement the team's No. 3 backup. Unexpectedly, Link actually showed extremely incredible potential. And this season, the progress of Randolph, Gasol, Conley and others is also very obvious.

The Grizzlies reached the Western Conference finals and almost overturned the championship, which made Chris Wallace unable to sit idly by. They now have the potential to go further, and Wallace feels he'll owe the team a lot if he doesn't do anything.

In the middle of this season, the trade rumors about O.J. Mayo and Rudy Gay have not stopped, and many teams have indeed made inquiries to Wallace. But Wallace, to be on the safe side, didn't let any deals happen.

But now, when the team reached the Western Conference finals, when Link and Randolph had an excellent chemical reaction, Chris Wallace felt that the shackles tied to him seemed to disappear in an instant.

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

Now that the direction has been clarified, the remaining things to do are urgent! Sign up, strengthen, let the Grizzlies go further, and strive to win the Western Championship, even the championship!

Wallace knew it sounded crazy, relying on a bunch of "despised" players 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 could not make the playoffs, could play in the Western Conference finals?

The free agency market is temporarily closed, and Wallace decided to start strengthening from the draft.

This year, the Grizzlies have just one second-round pick. Of all the second-round picks, Wallace took a fancy to a senior named Jimmy Butler.

The scouting report clearly pointed out: Jimmy Butler is a player full of energy and willing to defend, but his scoring ability is not good and he lacks explosiveness.

Wallace watched a lot of Jimmy Butler's college game video, and also sent scouts to observe it for a while. He believes that it is entirely possible for Jimmy Butler to be trained to be the next Tony Allen!

So, he decided to take 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 strengthen through the draft is only once, if you miss it, you will have to wait for the second year. So, Chris Wallace decided to trade for a first-round pick.

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

As for chips...Chris Wallace thinks it's time for O.J. Mayo's trade rumors to be put to an end...

Link's change to the Grizzlies' history may be more than he imagined.
