Chapter 707 Operations During Offseason
In this year's free agent market, in addition to James, the top big fish, there is also his good friend Melon Anthony, the big fish.

In addition to these two big fish, there are only big fish in the player market this year, such as Xuebu, Da Dasao, Foreskin, Nuo Tianwang, Hayward, Kyle Lowry, etc., but these players are either too old , or the wrist is not enough, anyway, compared with James and Anthony, the attractiveness will be somewhat discounted after all.

The Grizzlies' black bear contract will expire next summer, but his last year is a player option. He hopes to jump out of the contract and sign a new contract with the team.

The Black Bear's contract has the last year left (worth $1650 million). If he jumps out of the contract and renews with the team, it is estimated that this will be the last big contract of his career, because he is about to turn 33 years old.As a heavy low-post offensive insider, he is now on the decline.The deterioration of athletic ability is inevitable and obvious.

Before the finals, the well-known Yahoo reporter Woj revealed that the Black Bears' agent Raymond Brasser had started preliminary discussions with the Grizzlies on renewing a long-term contract.

"We have always trusted Robert Pera (the owner of the Grizzlies) and Chris Wallace (the general manager of the Grizzlies)." The Black Bears' agent said in an interview with Yahoo Sports, "Chris and I have Working together for years. He's a good guy."

The Grizzlies are of course willing to renew the Black Bears, because if they don't renew, their salary space cannot add a star of the same level.Not only that, judging from the past few seasons, the importance of the Black Bears to this team on the offensive end is self-evident.If the team wants to hit three consecutive championships next season, it will be very important to renew the black bears.

Of course, it is impossible for the black bear to get the same salary as the previous contract, because with his age and future competitive state, it is impossible to pay this price back.Moreover, the Grizzlies are already paying the luxury tax. If he is still at the top salary, the team may have to give him up because of the salary explosion. next home.

The key to the current negotiations between the two parties lies in the contract period and the total salary.Judging from the current results, the possibility of continuing cooperation is very high.

On June 6, the 26 NBA Draft was held as scheduled.As the Grizzlies with the league's first record last season, there is only one first-round pick with the 2014th pick.

For them, there are two options, one is to choose a rookie as a young blood, and the other option is to trade this draft pick to strengthen the lineup.

On the night of the draft, the Grizzlies chose to trade the draft pick. They traded the first-round pick and the team's rookie guard Franklin plus some cash to the Denver Nuggets to get their center Costa. Koufoss.

Koufos is 213 tall and graduated from Ohio State University. He was selected by the Jazz with the 08rd pick in the first round of the 23 draft.

2012年1月26日，库佛斯和掘金队达成一份为期3年价值900万美元的续约合同，其中掘金握有2014年的球队选项。

Although the Grizzlies easily won the championship last season, they also exposed some problems. One of the problems is that the team lacks a backup center.Both Ed Davis and Arthur are power forwards. Once the White Bears are troubled by fouls or injuries, no one can replace him.

Koufos is not that kind of star center, but he has a simple style of play, defensive line, hard work, and is a very good substitute insider, which is very suitable for the style of the Grizzlies.

After the deal happened, a reporter wrote on the Internet: "Memphis has made up for another shortcoming, and they are now even more perfect!"

Xie Kai is still under the contract, so he doesn't have to worry about the contract. After the championship celebration, he returned to his home in Los Angeles to stay for two days, and then went to Hawaii to help Lay's Potato Chips shoot a summer advertisement .

After filming the commercial, Xie Kai made an appointment with his good friend Wei Shao and others to vacation in Hawaii.The sudden end of the season made him a little uncomfortable for a while.After being busy for more than half a year, it always feels a bit unnatural to relax all of a sudden.

Westbrook joked that he had been fishing for a long time, but none of the fish took the bait. I wonder if they were all caught by Beverly...

After a week of vacation, Xie Kai and Zhou Jing returned to China and started their offseason journey.

When he arrived in China, Xie Kai did not start training right away. He was busy with various business activities, but his consciousness training did not stop, and he never gave up on practice.The reason why he didn't start his training plan immediately was not because he thought he was invincible, but because he was adjusting himself.

The consumption of a season is too great. Even an iron man needs to rest. He needs to rest to recover his physical fitness and heal his injuries at the same time.Although he didn't have any major injuries, he had quite a few minor injuries. The playoffs were too intense, and few people who made it to the finals didn't have any injuries at all.

On the NBA side, after the free agent market opened on July 7, various signings and transactions began one after another.

The Grizzlies can move a lot, although their room for manipulation is limited.General manager Chris Wallace worked very hard to help the team strengthen again, because previous owner Robert Pera promised him to let him go, and money was not an issue.

With the backing of his boss, Chris Wallace let it go.

On July 7, the deal with Koufos was officially completed.On the same day, the Grizzlies waived their offer to Ed Davis, and Davis became an unrestricted free agent.After the Koufos deal is completed, it has already indicated that Ed Davis will not appear in the Grizzlies lineup next season.

On July 7, the Grizzlies announced the implementation of Koufos's team option for next season.

On July 7, the Grizzlies traded with the Jazz for next season's second-round pick to get this year's second-round pick Janelle Stokes.

Stokes is 203cm tall and is a power forward.

On July 7, the issue of the renewal of the black bear Zach Randolph was officially completed.On the same day, Randolph's agent, Raymond Brothers, announced that the Black Bears would implement a $5 million contract with the team next season, and the Black Bears also agreed to renew a two-year, $1650 million contract with the Grizzlies.

This is almost a win-win, because the Black Bears don't have to give up their huge salary of 1650 million in the last year.And the Grizzlies are not at a disadvantage, because the renewal period is not long, and the average salary is only 1000 million, which is a lot lower than his previous contract.After this contract ends, the Black Bear will be 36 years old, and it should be the end of his career by then.
