This is of course a good thing for the Grizzlies!

If there is a transaction in the middle of the season, the extra salary cap of 1.22 million yuan can be added to the luxury tax threshold, which can better avoid triggering the luxury tax.

This is very important for them to renew their contracts next season. If they pay taxes for three consecutive years, they will not dare to pay taxes next year. The super luxury tax of n times is not enough for the Grizzlies to make a lot of money.

It was previously rumored that Sun Ce's investment company had invested in a sports company and was driving some consortiums to invest in capital, striving to join forces to buy the Clippers.

This may violate the NBA regulations and also affect the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies' decision to keep Paul George was considered for many reasons.

One thing is very important, that is, if Sun Ce's investment company really buys the Clippers, Sun Ce may not be allowed to go to the Clippers, and may even not be able to buy it even if he is given a suitable price.

This is the first time in NBA history that active players buy teams. In NBA history, only Magic Johnson owned NBA shares when he was a player.

Bill Duffy has received an investigation notice from the NBA, and Sun Ce also knows it, but the notice clearly informs that this investigation will not affect Sun Ce's right to participate in the game and is a necessary process for the team to sell.

Moreover, even if the league agrees and the opposition ratio of other team bosses exceeds 50%, Sun Ce's investment company cannot acquire the Clippers.

However, since these things are still stolen, Sun Ce does not participate in the operation of the investment company at all, and his professional ethics are trusted by the Grizzlies management. Therefore, neither the team nor the league formally mentioned this matter to the face-to-face discussion

.

Sun Ce did not encounter any trouble. After the media made some trouble, they found that no one responded to the league, Sun Ce, the Grizzlies boss, and other team bosses, so it was left alone.

...

...

On the 17th, he rested for a day. In the evening, Sun Ce practiced Nash training. After a night, Sun Cerong came to the FedEx Stadium with radiance.

On the 19th, tomorrow, the Grizzlies' preseason will continue. Even if the time difference between players today is not reversed, Coach Hollins has also arranged basic training.

Running, stretching, practicing shooting, massage physiotherapy, helping players recover through these methods.

However, the rest of the team saw Sun Ce practice left-hand shooting at 8 o'clock in the morning with the help of the old Hardaway who had not yet reversed the jet lag and was desperate...

Richard Jefferson, Gobert, Hardaway Jr. and Livingston were amazed at Sun Ce's recovery ability.

Others, I feel that Old Hardaway is so pitiful...

...

There is a reason why strong teams are unwilling to play in European or Asian games.

The first wave of time difference adjustment is fine, but the second wave of time difference adjustment is difficult.

On the 19th, the Grizzlies ushered in a home game against the Bucks. Sun Ce did not play tonight, and the Grizzlies were rotated according to the regular season 13-player activation list.

In preseason, the team may not care about winning or losing, but the players who play must care.

The Bucks team formed the team with Holiday, Mayo, Caron Butler, Iliasova and Monroe this summer, and went for the playoffs and played very well in the preseason.

serious!

So, Beverly and Paul George, who were in poor condition, made the two defensive gates that were defending Holiday in turn, were broken to the sky...

97-79, the Bucks beat the Grizzlies away, ending the Grizzlies' two consecutive preseason wins.

Sun Ce watched the whole game in training suit. The Bucks played very well, but Sun Ce found that the opponent's forward played the best in the defender was not Mayo, who was signed by the Bucks in three years and 24 million, nor was it.

Caron Butler, who spent 9 million yuan to sign for a year, was sophomore second-round pick Chris Middleton, who scored a beautiful data of 17 points and 6 rebounds tonight.

A mid- and long-distance pitcher with B-level strength is not good at using his weight on the defensive end. More than 100 kilograms look like paper, but he is only in the second grade and is generally excellent.

...

The preseason game passed one by one, and coach Hollins mainly focused on observing the players' status and trying and adjusting the technical and tactical cooperation.

No. 21, the Grizzlies played the Magic 125-89, and the Magic sucked, very bad, and this year they were signed for the No. 1 pick.

Jacque Vaughan, a former Spurs champion, was selected as the head coach. He had to attack but no offense and not defend.

On the 24th, the Grizzlies came to Toronto, which had already begun ice and snow mode, and challenged the Raptors away.

In July this year, when Sun Ce saw the Raptors sign Ujeri as general manager, he knew that the changes in the Raptors were about to begin.

Calderon did not renew his contract, and helped Lowry to renew his contract with 3 years and 36 million yuan in advance, and 3 years and 28.5 million yuan in three years and 28.5 million yuan in DeRozan, who was regarded as a "soft egg", traded to last season's starting center Ba

Niani reigned Valanciunas and formed a core trio to build a team around the three.

Sun Ce looked at DeRozan opposite before the game, and saw the opponent mao - what is this guy going to do! It's just a preseason, brother! Not so!

Sun Ce is not interested in DeRozan. He is looking at the ability evaluation of the opponent's three core players - DeRozan, level A, Lowry a+, and Valanciunas a-level.

The 27-year-old Lowry is entering its peak period. Judging from the details of ability evaluation, Sun Ce compared with Paul George. Lowry should be the weaker level in the A+ level.

Of course, weakness is relative. The quasi-top level is the quasi-top level. It can compete with superstars under the right team and the right tactical system.

Both DeRozan and 21-year-old Valanciunas have top-notch margins and above.

It's a very powerful core lineup!

With Ujiri as the general manager, it is difficult to deal with in the regular season.

As for the playoffs... there is no James in the East...

Sun Ce discovered that after James was not in the east, the east became very lively!

The Heat, Bulls, maybe without Howard, the 76ers will be better, the Knicks and Nets are included, the Eastern Grizzlies are included, plus the Raptors and Bucks may

And the Pistons... James is not in the East, and the East will be intrigued all of a sudden!

Sun Ce always felt that after entering his peak period, James was too dominant in the East, so strong that other teams might have lost their competition.

Sun Ce looked back and thought about the three strong rivals of the West, the Lakers, Spurs and Warriors. The Mavericks cannot be ignored. Although Durant, on the Thunder, had to be in the Christmas game at the earliest to make a comeback, he was also very strong.

The Pelicans and the Trail Blazers have also gained some attention this season.

Sun Ce was puzzled. The league structure was completely different from what he had imagined at the end of last season! It became too weird!

It actually feels like "a prosperous age is coming"!
