: One thousand two hundred and three: The dynasty is going to fall again? (Fri/Fri)

Randolph and Tony Allen are sitting at Link's house.
Lin Ling was jumping up and down happily holding the toys brought by his two uncles, but the expressions of the three men were a little serious at the dinner table.
"What the are you kidding me?" Randolph looked shocked. He has always been a hippie smile, but he rarely made such an expression.
"That's right, it's not April Fool's Day. Rachel, is Link kidding?" Tony Allen also echoed.
The two came to Link's house as guests today, just to get together with Link after announcing their retirement.
After all, these two people have been with Link for nearly ten years of his career.
At the beginning, Tony Allen was Link's teacher and Randolph was Link's eldest brother. At the beginning, it was they who brought Link to cross the alliance.
In the past few years, when they got old, it was Link who took them to the top of the world.
The relationship between the three is very deep, they are not just teammates, but close friends in this life.
Therefore, Randolph and Tony Allen went to Link's house to relive the past.
But they never expected that Link gave them a surprise instead.
"I'm not kidding, I'll really retire after playing next season." Link said, holding the bottle for another round.
After Link finished speaking, Randolph still stared at Rachel in disbelief. He didn't give up until Rachel nodded affirmatively.
"Why!?" Tony Allen asked puzzledly.
"Because I want to accompany them more." Link said, smiling at his wife and daughter.
Subsequently, the three were speechless. There was silence for about a minute, and Tony Allen took a sip of beer before starting to speak again.
"Next season will be difficult, right? Fuck, you have to say it earlier, I will retire a year later. I will help you if I fight this old bone."
"Yes, does anyone else know?"
Link waved his hand: "I don't know yet, and I don't need to know. Listen, don't tell anyone, even Mike and Mark, understand?"
Tony Allen and Randolph didn't ask any more, they both knew what Link was making.
The situation of the Grizzlies this summer is clear to everyone. If you say it in advance, the salary cut and stay in the team may happen again.
"Do you really want this? This summer... will leave a lot of people. Under such circumstances, can you still achieve your wish?"
When Tony Allen asked, Link sighed.
More money, higher status, more playing time... Pat Riley's greediness is really summed up brilliantly.
But this kind of "greediness" is reasonable.
Is it possible to let others get a low salary in the Grizzlies all their lives? Playing a supporting role in the Grizzlies?
"I don’t know, but I have to do it. Okay, let’s not talk about that. Today I am here to retire you, not you. It’s the offseason, so we can’t talk about anything else. ?"
Link broke the subject, breaking the heavy atmosphere.
However, what Tony Allen said is also a very real problem. This summer, the Grizzlies' personnel changes may be very large.
※※※
Beginning in July, the NBA summer signing and transfer market also officially opened.
It is no exaggeration to say that this summer is definitely one of the busiest summers in NBA history.
Durant, Irving, Kemba Walker, Lillard, Thompson, Leonard, Porzingis, McCollum, including Link himself, and many other stars have made this year's free agent market a shining star!
The stars are brighter than any period in history.
Any contract may change the league structure!
In addition to free agents, Paul George, Westbrook, Jimmy Butler, Chris Paul and other big-name players are also involved in trading rumors.
A week ago, the Lakers had completed the trade with Anthony Davis. However, those are just appetizers.
Therefore, this year's transfer market will definitely be turbulent.
On July 1, the first day the NBA free agent market opened, the league teams began to "burn money".
Among them, the most positive is the Nets.
They first won Durant for 164 million in 4 years, and then they immediately dig Owen from the Celtics for 142 million in 4 years.
When people hadn't realized what had happened, Jordan then moved into Brooklyn for 4 years and 40 million.
In less than an hour, the Nets formed the Big Three lineup!
They also formally changed from the big belly team last season to the championship team next season!
In addition to the Nets, the Warriors are also very quick.
After losing Durant, they immediately renewed Thompson at a price of 190 million in 5 years. After that, he immediately got D'Angelo Russell, who played for the Nets last season, by signing first and then changing.
Although Russell's strength is currently not comparable to Durant, he is also an All-Star guard.
The prospects of the Warriors next season are still very exciting.
In addition, other teams are not idle.
The Blazers kept Lillard with a super maximum salary, and the Bucks also kept Middleton, the best helper of the "Greek monster" with a maximum salary contract.
Kemba Walker settled in North Shore Gardens for 140 million in 4 years, succeeding Owen. Jimmy Butler signed with 142 million in 4 years and then joined the Heat...
The entire league was messed up, and only on the first day of July 1st, many of the core players of the teams have changed teams.
In this lively free agency market, the Grizzlies have also been affected.
But unlike other teams, other teams are signing, but the Grizzlies are being signed by others.
Dinwiddie has joined the Nets with 40 million yuan in three years. After all, in the finals, he did not cause trouble for Irving.
Harrell joined the Clippers for 25 million in two years. This is undoubtedly an important bargaining chip for the Clippers to attract Paul George and Leonard. This second round show has now become a superb role player.
So the team knows that he is an indispensable champion puzzle! If the Grizzlies didn't have Harrell in this year's finals, God knows if they can limit Siakam.
If Siakam can't be restricted, it's not certain whether the Grizzlies can win the championship.
Grizzlies fans are heartbroken, although they have said that they want to bless those who leave, be optimistic. Although everyone knows, they are helpless to leave.
But watching the champions one by one switch to other places, the fans will inevitably feel heartache.
After Harrell, Josh Richardson and Tobias Harris also left one after another.
They are still teammates, because both of them were signed by the Philadelphia 76ers.
Richardson, like Dinwiddie, chose to cut his salary and stay with the team for three consecutive championships last season. So this year, he did not reject the 76ers' four-year $45 million contract.
In fact, even if they refused, Link would let them all go.
Link talked to these guys on the phone as early as the day before the start of the free agency market: "If one of you cuts and stays, you are the idiot. Mature, a player's career is not a matter of volition."
So, watching them leave one by one, Link is not angry.
Just like the fans, there will be some resentment...
After Richardson~EbookFREE.me~ people even directly offered Tobias Harris a five-year contract of 180 million yuan!
Now, Harris has no reason to refuse. How many times can a player like him have a maximum salary in his life?
If you miss this one, there may never be another one!
So far, the Grizzlies have gone four people overnight. Coupled with Randolph and Tony Allen who just announced their retirement some time ago, the Grizzlies are now equivalent to half a team short!
No matter how strong the team is, it will lose half of its players directly.
Looking at the predicament of the Grizzlies this summer, the former bull expert Sam Smith, who has been antagonistic to Link for the past few years, has blossomed.
Beyond Jordan? Go dreaming!
"The dynasty collapsed overnight!"
Sam Smith’s post on social media about the grizzly bears aroused heated discussions.
