: Eight hundred and thirteen: more than just business

Latest website: The scandal between Iguodala and the Warriors has spread all over the city.
In this time period when the superstars have not yet started to act, Iguodala, the Grizzlies' two consecutive champions, is the biggest player in the free agency market.
His contact with the Warriors has become the focus of heated discussions among fans in recent days.
In the NBA, there are few secrets about transfers. Once there is a bit of trouble, the news will be revealed immediately.
After all, just relying on breaking news about the transfer news can feed a group of basketball reporters and an entire industry.
Those famous basketball reporters usually have a very large and complicated network of relationships, so it is not difficult for them to get inside information.
When Cole came to negotiate with Iguodala, it is impossible for Cole and Iguodala to know.
As long as a third person knows about this, 99% of the incident will be revealed.
Iguodala looked at the news about him and curled his lips. Unexpectedly, he could also be the "protagonist" this summer.
For 4 years, 48 ​​million yuan, this is indeed a very attractive price for Iguodala.
And Cole is right. In Oakland, in the Bay Area, Iguodala would be more convenient to invest.
Iguodala has always longed for big cities. When he came out of the 76ers, he wanted to go to big cities.
But Memphis, Iguodala changed his mind.
He likes to play for the Grizzlies and he likes to fight in the Federal Express Arena.
He likes Randolph's jokes every day, the fruits and vegetables that Gasol brings to everyone from time to time, likes Tony Allen's card game, likes Conley's piano performance...
The most important thing is that he likes the team that always tells everyone "The game is not over, let's continue fighting", that can always turn the tide at critical moments, can always hold everyone tightly together, and can always Let those who love him love him more, and those who hate him hate his leader even more!
The first 8 years of Iguodala's career can be said to be ineffective. Only five playoff games have been played in eight years, four of which were round trips, and the best result was the second round. People expected him to be the Jordan of Philadelphia, but he just wanted to play the role of Pippen.
He was not happy, and the team lost patience.
However, it was in Memphis that he thought he had reached the pinnacle of his career. Iguodala still remembers that on the first day he came to the Grizzlies, Link told him, "Hey, we have to do something together. As long as we work together, it should make the dome of the Federal Express Arena less empty. "
At first, Iguodala didn't take it seriously. He only uses the Memphis Grizzlies as a springboard. He hopes to get out of his contract a year later and sign a big city team. He doesn't want to waste time in the backcountry of Memphis, let alone daydreaming with a draft pick.
However, as the season progressed, he found that he really liked it.
I like the fans, teammates, and everything they won together!
Thinking of this, Iguodala opened his own safe and took out the exquisite championship ring.
The championship ring, several honor pennants on the Federal Express Arena... Iguodala knew that the loser, or the leader, did not joke with him!
When waiting for the second championship ring to be awarded, Iguodala hoped that he would still be standing in the Federal Express Arena, standing next to his teammates, instead of waiting for the ring to be mailed.
Although he has only been in Memphis for two years, Iguodala feels that his feelings for Memphis and the Grizzlies are more profound than for Philadelphia and the 76ers. He can't forget everything he experienced in Memphis, and now thinking of the road they have taken to the championship, Iguodala can't help but giggle.
In the past 8 years, my career has been ineffective. It was Memphis, let him experience the taste of victory.
This year, he is 30 years old, not too old or too young. As a front guard swingman, it can be regarded as the final prime time.
Now, he holds two championships and two championship rings. He has the opportunity to hit three consecutive championships and create a dynasty with his favorite team!
Three consecutive championships, dynasty, how many people can get such an opportunity? Even if there is a second chance, can the 30-year-old one wait for it? Even if there is a second chance, can you play as happy as in Memphis?
Iguodala looked at the championship ring in his hand and fell into thought again.
48 million in 4 years, this is an attractive price. In all respects, Iguodala seems to have no reason to refuse.
People say that the NBA is a business, and Iguodala believed in it before. But Iguodala now deeply realizes that not everything can be described as "just business".
The time they spent together, the time when they cheered the O'Brien Cup together, the time when they piled arhats on the court, the time when they struggled for each other... these have nothing to do with business.
48 million in 4 years. From a business perspective, Iguodala knows very well that if he refuses this offer, he is the number one fool.
But why have to think about basketball from a business perspective?
Just as Iguodala was struggling, his cell phone rang suddenly.
It's Link.
"Link." Iguodala tried to make his tone sound lighter.
"Ego, where are you now? When are you going to go back to Memphis? You haven't forgotten, Zach's wedding in August this year."
Iguodala thought that Link was calling to persuade him to stay, but he didn't expect to tell him about Randolph's wedding.
Randolph didn't know if it was too long for everyone to complain, and finally decided to marry his girlfriend this summer. Why is it "finally"? Because Randolph and his girlfriend had already given birth to three children before!
"I remember, Link, how could I forget Zach’s wedding? In fact, I’m in Memphis right now, and I’m at home." Iguodala smiled, it’s really hard for him to imagine leaving this group of guys. life.
"Are you in Memphis? Didn't the news say that you were in New York?"
"Have you seen the news?"
"Of course, who doesn't know the news now."
"So, what do you think about this?" Iguodala shook his head. Link's ability to change the subject is superb! Pretending to ask about attending the wedding, in fact, I just want to ask if I am in Memphis!
"How can I see it, that's 48 million in 4 years, man. I can't say selfishly, hey, 48 million, in Memphis, we can create brilliance together. This kind of nonsense, I myself feel shameful. Must. Admit it, you need that contract, Igo. But..."
Iguodala didn't speak, he was waiting for Link to finish the words after the "but."
"But if you really ask me what I think, I certainly hope you stay. You are not here, who will pull us during the fight? If you go to Oakland, the number of times we get suspended for next season will definitely increase by 200%."
"Hahahahahaha, okay, it turns out that my job with the Grizzlies is to fight."
"Hey, you are our Dinghai Shenzhen, Yigo. However, the choice is yours. No matter how you choose, I will support you. Unfortunately, I can't help you with this..."
"Don't say that, you are worth that maximum salary, and you have no reason to lower it. Even if I really leave, it has nothing to do with your maximum salary, understand?"
"Understand, no matter what the result is, you must tell me in advance, okay?"
"Of course, I promise, you will know about me before all reporters." Iguodala listened to the phone and looked at the championship ring in his hand.
For a moment, he almost made up his mind and almost shouted the phrase "Fuck 48 million".
"Then ~EbookFREE.me~ rest early, Igor, see you at Zach's wedding."
"Goodbye, Link."
After hanging up, Iguodala took a deep breath. Just about to go to wash and sleep, the phone vibrated again.
This time, it was not a phone call, but a news feed.
After seeing the push news, Iguodah frowned and opened his mouth wide.
"Zach Randolph decided to implement the player option, stepped out of his final year contract and became a free agent."
"What!?" Iguodala was shocked, Randolph jumped out of the contract? Why is that? He is getting married this summer. Does he still want to wander into the muddy waters of the free agency market?
When Iguodala was surprised, Randolph sent a text message.
The content of the message is simple, "Don't worry about anything, sign Grizzlies."
