Chapter 399
On the media day, Xie Kai, who had just renewed his contract, naturally became the target of "siege" by media workers.People asked him, mainly around the early renewal of the contract, including the renewal period, total amount, additional terms and so on.

Of course, Xie Kai kept his mouth shut, unwilling to discuss the details of the contract.But he revealed on the media day that the attitude of the team's owner and the management made him finally choose to renew his contract with the team in advance.

The reporters did not get the contract details of Xie Kai's contract renewal on the media day, but they still dug up a lot of information about this signing.

After the media day, the training camps of NBA teams will also start.

On the second day, Woj revealed the details of the contract signed by Xie Kai: a five-year, fully guaranteed contract of 2 million US dollars, the last year of which is a player option, which will take effect in the summer of 5 and has no other additional terms.

The details of Xie Kai's contract were announced, which finally brought to an end the Ross Clause incident that had been discussed uproariously before.Judging from the details of this contract, he has given up the super contract that can theoretically get 5 years and 9400 million US dollars through the Ross clause.

It is worth mentioning that if Xie Kai enters the best team or wins the regular season MVP after the end of this season, then he can also be regarded as the first player to give up enjoying Rose's terms.

On the same day, the Grizzlies also made a signing. They signed the undrafted point guard Jeremy Pargo with a two-year, $2 million contract.

Jeremy Pargo is the younger brother of former NBA player Genilo Pargo, who previously played in the Israeli League.

The Grizzlies signed Jeremy Pargo, but lost veteran captain Sean Battier.

Shortly after Woj announced that the Grizzlies had signed Pargo, he announced that Battier would join the Heat.

Battier returned to his old club Grizzlies through a trade last season, and played well in the second half of the season and in the playoffs.The Grizzlies also want to renew his contract. According to the local Memphis media "Business Appeal", he himself very much hopes to stay in Memphis.However, there are huge differences between the two parties in terms of the number of years and the amount of the contract.

Battier hopes to get a fully guaranteed middle-class contract for many years, while the Grizzlies are only willing to provide a basic salary or a partially guaranteed middle-class contract because of salary pressure and because they estimate that the 33-year-old captain will decline in the future. The maximum number of years is 3 years, and it also includes team options.

Negotiations between the two sides eventually reached an impasse.At this time, the Heat offered an olive branch, and Battier then threw himself into the arms of the runner-up.

Losing Battier is definitely a loss for the Grizzlies, but they are also a little helpless.They had previously renewed Rudy Gay with a maximum salary, and they were unwilling and afraid to invest too much money in the 3rd position.

Some teams will give some meritorious veterans a premium contract after winning the championship, but the Grizzlies do not belong to this category. They have not won the championship yet, and they have not even entered the finals.

On December 12, the Grizzlies officially announced the news of an early contract extension with Xie Kai. The details of the contract were exactly the same as previously revealed by Woj.

As for why Xie Kai gave up the super contract that is very likely to be obtained by virtue of the Ross clause, there have been a lot of discussions after the news came out.The number of posts about this discussion on the Internet simply exceeds that of Derrick Rose, who can get a 9400 million super contract.

Those who look down on Xie Kai think that the reason why Xie Kai chose to renew his contract in advance instead of waiting for the end of the season to try to get a bigger contract by triggering the Rose clause is because he is not strong enough and not confident enough.Because he doesn't have enough time to enter the best team again, he still chooses a safe way to renew his contract in advance to get a maximum salary.

Xie Kai's fans believe that the reason why Xie Kai did this is to make the team not so tight in terms of salary, help them renew their contract and have more possibilities in the free market. .

There was a lot of buzz outside, and Grizzlies general manager Chris Wallace said in an exclusive interview with ESPN: "The main work of the team at this stage is to renew the contracts of several of the main players in the team last season. I am very happy to be able to Renewed with Kane Shetty. He is a very good player. He is only 23 years old. He has potential and fits the style of our team very well. This signing is very professional and he has made a certain contribution. Sacrifice, the whole team is very grateful. This is a win-win renewal, and we are very confident in the cooperation in the next few years!"

Chris Wallace spoke, and the previous remarks about thanking him and not being confident were much, much less in an instant.Even the general manager of the other team thinks that Xie Kai has made a sacrifice, and outsiders can't say anything more.

Only one day after Chris Wallace gave an explanation, the Grizzlies officially announced that they would renew the contract of the main center Marc Gasol with a contract of 4 years and 5800 million US dollars.

Contract details haven't been revealed, but that's roughly what the deal looks like.This is a big contract with an average salary close to 1500 million U.S. dollars, which is definitely a lucrative contract for the little sister-in-law who was born in the second round of the show.

There is no doubt about Xiaojiasao's ability. He is the core of the team's inside defense. He averaged a double-double in the playoffs, which is the guarantee of the team's defensive quality.His rookie contract expired in the summer, and many teams wanted to poach him, the most active of which was the Rockets.

And the Grizzlies are also determined to keep this inside tower, and finally got their wish.

The little sister-in-law was very happy after getting the big contract. He left a message on his Twitter: "I am very happy to continue to stay in the Memphis Grizzlies. This place is like my home. This is also thanks to Kane Xie and the Grizzlies Fans. I love you guys, love love love!"

This tweet was reposted by many media fans. Many people speculated why Xiaojiasao would thank Xie Kai on Twitter. The unanimous opinion was that Xie Kai gave up the opportunity of the Ross clause, which also gave the Grizzlies enough I have the confidence to compete with the Rockets for the little sister-in-law.

This explanation is reasonable. Although Xie Kai's big contract will not come into effect until next season, once the Rose clause is triggered and the super contract is signed, the team may have to pay a luxury tax next season.

After completing the contract renewal of Xiaojiasao, the contract renewals of the Grizzlies' starting five tigers have all been completed.They have retained the lineup that broke into the Western Conference Finals very well. Although they have not yet received strong reinforcements, the current team's lineup is already quite strong. You must know that there is no quasi-All-Star small forward Rudy Gay. Next, this team has already broken into the Western Conference Finals.

The goal of the Grizzlies in the new season is naturally the championship. The young people of this team will still improve and grow. As long as they stay healthy, their upper limit will be very high.
