123 to 99, the Grizzlies beat the Hornets so easily. Sun Ce only played 19 minutes, scored 11 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, and was replaced. Wazquez, who came on the bench, played.

He scored 5 points and 7 assists in 20 minutes, and Hornets players gave up on defense.

Gasol played for 26 minutes and scored 25 points and 6 rebounds, setting a new high for his personal score this season. His sister-in-law also ate dumplings.

The Raptors and Hornets are the second-last opponents in the east and west. The Grizzlies won without causing any storm. 40 wins and 10 losses, and the Grizzlies became the second team after the Spurs.

40 wins team.

Everyone knows that these two teams will definitely work hard to lose. They tried their best to "overtake" the Timberwolves and Wizards, and they are both bad to the last. Of course, they want to increase the probability of drawing the top three picks.

There was basically no attention to the two games, so there was a certain amount of attention to the match between Sun Ce and Wall. However, Wall played in such an undisciplined team, and his talent was great, but everyone took him to

He should guide the direction he should work hard, but he feels a bit off the line in the rookie season.

In the past two days, there are few news about the Grizzlies' games, but there are also a lot of news about the Grizzlies.

There is a little more interesting thing about one thing. Many head coaches jumped out to show kindness to Randolph, saying that Randolph was the first candidate for the All-Star Power Forward in their minds.

This is a headache for the Grizzlies management.

After playing against the Hornets, the Grizzlies finally ended the most brutal schedule of the season and got two days off. Next, there is only one game left before the All-Star Weekend, a focus battle, No. 12, the Grizzlies

Played 76ers away.

On the 10th, the Grizzlies' first rest day after 8 days and 6 days, the Grizzlies closed for rest, guarding against a No. 3 point guard who had been practicing 192 cm tall after playing against the Hornets last night.

Come and practice again.

However, the venue was closed for a break, and the Grizzlies coaching staff and management did not have a holiday and were having a meeting in the morning.

"Leonard, you heard that many teams with cap space are building momentum for the summer to recruit Zach," General Manager Chris Wallace said to Coach Hollins.

"I understand, they want to use Zach to attract Noah to their team." Coach Hollins also felt in trouble.

People have different cognitions. Sun Ce knew that Randolph wanted to make a decision based on his decision, but the other people's cognitions were not much the same as those of them.

Sun Ce and Randolph are the same agency. Sun Ce keeps praising Randolph, making some team management think that Randolph is the key to affect Sun Ce’s decision, including the Grizzlies management.

"We should reach a contract renewal agreement with Zach as soon as possible to increase the bargaining chips to keep Noah," Coach Hollins suggested.

"It's hard," Chris Wallace said and sighed.

"Why? Don't we have Zach's Bird clause?"

"It's because we have Zach's Bird clause. Zach goes to other teams and he can get a starting salary of more than 18 million for 10 years. We can give him a starting salary of nearly 21 million, of course,

We don't have to give 21 million, but even if we give other teams a starting salary of 18 million that can be given to him, it will affect the fact that we create salary space for Noah.

This summer, we are also Mike and Mark, who have become restricted free agents. To retain their Bird terms, they need to occupy nearly 12 million space. The two of them, plus Rudy, have occupied 27 million space.

On Zach, Ultraspez, Tony...it's hard for us to create the right salary space." Chris Wallace analyzed the difficulties their team is currently facing.

Hearing Chris Wallace's words, Coach Hollins learned about the current situation of the team, and the main reason was Guy!

Guy was reimbursed early this season, but last summer, the Grizzlies signed a five-year contract of $82.3 million, and Guy's salary next season is $15.03 million.

Of course, renewing the contract is an operation that Guy has to do. No one is so stupid that he can let a super genius who averages 20.1 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2 assists, 1.4 steals and 1 block in vain. Although the Grizzlies won this season

There are many balls, but it can be seen that the Grizzlies need a singles point like Guy.

But until now, the need for Guy has gradually decreased, especially Sun Ce's progress rate. God knows what he will improve next season. At this stage, Guy's contract has become a burden for the Grizzlies.

"And the most troublesome thing is that there are so many teams who want to recruit Zach. The starting salary we originally gave is 15 million yuan, so it may be difficult to keep Zach." Chris Wallace pressed the remote control pen, and the conference room

The projector cuts the screen after a while, Chris Wallace presses and says: "Clippers, Hornets, Suns, Jazz, Magic, Eagles, Cavaliers, Raptors, and Mavericks and Diggers."

The head coaches of the Golden Team and the Lakers all publicly stated that they voted for Zach. There are many of these teams that can create more than 30 million in the summer. Many teams will likely provide Zach with

The maximum salary of a 10-year veteran who is not on the Bird clause."

Randolph, which no one wanted before, has become a hot commodity now!

"Oh... Damn, these guys want to steal our people!" Coach Hollins couldn't help but curse.

Just when Chris Wallace wanted to curse, the door of the conference room was pushed open.

"Yes, they want to steal our core, but we won't give them a chance!"

Grizzlies owner Robert Pera pushed open the door of the conference room and walked in, sat next to Chris Wallace and continued: "Chris, you try to negotiate with Zach, if possible, as much as possible

Without being noticed by Noah, let Bill Duffy help us test Noah's tone.

Even if Zach insists on matching the contracts given by other teams, we are not in despair. First of all, Noah may not leave with Zach. Also, I have discussed with the Cavaliers boss Dan Gilbert.

Well, we will contact some teams to put pressure on the league and adjust the rookie contract system. If we can get the support of more than half of the bosses, the league's system clause committee will be able to re-examine the rookie contract system.

I've contacted some media, including Evans, Ross, Durant, Griffin, and their agents, who will use various ways to create public opinion for this matter, and I've asked our press officer to go and t.n.t

There discusses this matter and builds momentum for us.

Of course, our own negotiations with Zach are very important, but based on my understanding of Bill Duffy, he is a person who knows how to repay. Maybe Zach's contract renewal will not be so troublesome. What's more important about us is to let Noah get involved in the matter.

You can renew your contract on the hat, this is the key. He is our future superstar and cannot get such a low salary.

Leonard, you don’t have to worry about these things. Your job is to get a good record. Don’t treat this as a pressure. Coach well. The results are the key to keeping them!"

After listening to the boss's words, Chris Wallace and Coach Hollins were quite shocked. Is this the young boss who "buy a team as a vvvvvvvv...vip audience"?

They have done so many things and have sorted out what the team should do at this stage, they just need to execute them.

This diamond prince can gain a foothold in Silicon Valley in her 30s, which is really not an ordinary person! People have already considered all aspects.

I didn’t interfere in the matter of general managers and head coaches in the past because I didn’t need it, and I might not be good at it, but I intervene in operations in times of crisis, which is bigger than theirs!

Chris Wallace is thinking about saving salary space, while Robert Pera is different, he is preparing to start from the direction of the league! His vision is completely different.

The Grizzlies coaching staff and management once occasionally complained that the boss didn't care about anything, but now I suddenly realized that it's great to have such a decisive boss and such an excellent business mind.

...

...

Randolph's home.

After receiving a call from Chris Wallace, Bill Duffy came to Randolph's house to discuss with Randolph about the contract renewal.

People's ideas will change as time goes by. When Bill Duffy and Randolph discussed contract renewal with the Grizzlies management at the beginning of the season, both of them were very satisfied with the starting salary of about 15.5 million yuan, that would be fine.

Ensure Randolph is the highest paid player of the Grizzlies and ensure Randolph's status.

At that time, this was also the way Bill Duffy could help Sun Ce maintain his core position in the outside world. The more stable Randolph's position in the team, the more stable Sun Ce's position in the same company was.

But now it's different. Other teams can give Sun Ce a larger contract according to the Arenas clause. Although this clause was originally intended to help the parent team retain a second-round rookie, this clause is limited to the rookie clause.

Other teams can only give the league an average salary, which is almost a middle-class contract, and the Grizzlies are likely to create space of 3 million to 4 million to renew Sun Ce.

At the beginning of the season, Bill Duffy was willing to let Sun Ce get $1 million to $2 million, sign a two- to three-year contract, and stay with the Grizzlies, because the Grizzlies will definitely give Sun Ce a core position on the outside.

Going to other teams may not guarantee such a status.

Changing teams is not necessarily a good thing. For example, Ariza, who jumped from the Lakers to the Rockets, first told Ariza to give him a core position, but he went there, and then he was traded in less than a year.

Of course, it is mainly a matter of strength. The facts prove that Ariza's excellent performance in the Lakers is mainly related to the system. Sun Ce is obviously a player who needs a suitable system. Bill Duffy, another team, is worried that Sun Ce will not be able to bear the heavy responsibility like Ariza.

.

But until now, Sun Ce is still making progress. At this stage, it is almost recognized that even if Sun Ce changes teams, without the system bonus, he still has the strength of 15+8+6 per game, and the number of assists may increase. After all,

The Grizzlies' offense is so bad, so Sun Ce doesn't have to stay.

Of course, Bill Duffy hopes that Sun Ce will stay. Changing a team means everything will start from scratch, and the Grizzlies are aiming to become a championship-level team.

But it’s not just Sun Ce. As the season deepens, Randolph’s market is much better than before. Moreover, because of Sun Ce’s relationship, many teams especially want Randolph.

It is almost certain that other teams will give better quotes than the Grizzlies in the summer, and the Grizzlies dare not give high quotes easily.

Bill Duffy didn't know whether this was happiness or trouble. When he signed a contract with Randolph, he begged his grandfather to find jobs for Randolph everywhere, and kept telling the general managers, boss, Randolph had already

It changed, but no one believed it. I searched for a long time before I found Mengcun. It was because Chris Wallace believed in his character that he got Randolph a two-year contract. Now Randolph

There is really a market, but it has become a troublesome thing.

After communicating with Randolph, Randolph did not answer positively, but asked, "Bill, what is your opinion?"

Bill Duffy is a real person. When it comes to Randolph's contract renewal, he wants to repay kindness, but he doesn't want Randolph to suffer losses. He can only say: "I hope you stay."

Noah also stayed, and it was difficult to have such a good team that could hit the championship, but the starting salary of 3 million is not a small amount, but it will be more than 10 million in a few years."

Randolph nodded. He was very satisfied with Bill Duffy's true character and replied: "I also hope to stay, but it depends on Noah. I will choose to take less than 1,000 if he stays.

Duo Wan, but I don’t want to put pressure on him, I hope he can make the choice he wants, you know what I mean, Bill.”

Bill Duffy really didn't expect Randolph to say that!

The outside world generally believes that Randolph will affect Sun Ce's decision, and Bill Duffy also thinks so. Sun Ce builds momentum for Randolph and holds a concert with Randolph. Legend has it that Sun Ce will continue to play this year's All-Star Game.

Randolph found someone to perform pre-match performances and the league officially approved Randolph's application...all evidence.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a big reversal!

But Bill Duffy won't tell this, as it will inevitably affect Randolph's market value. Even if the Grizzlies management knows this information, they will use it to give Lan

Dorf lowered the price.

Although Bill Duffy hopes that Randolph and Sun Ce will stay, that situation is not what he wants to see. Being kind does not mean cutting the flesh and feeding the eagle.

However, Bill Duffy didn't know what Sun Ce was thinking.

Bill Duffy and Sun Ce have been working with him for more than a year, and they don’t know much about Sun Ce. Sun Ce rarely talks about this, and his personality is elusive. No one knows what decision he will make.
