The reason why Rodman joined the Grizzlies was actually the main reason that he wanted to help Davidson.

But now after looking at the strength of Carter and Dazhi, Rodman felt that Davidson didn't need to help himself at all...

Such two super stars can make the Grizzlies a championship-level team in just two years.

...

This training camp is not a formal training camp, and the players' training is still quite free.

The main reason is that the wage dispute has not been resolved yet, and no one knows when the two sides can reach an agreement.

Some other teams, let alone training, probably won’t even see the players.

But in the Grizzlies, there is no trouble in this regard.

The Grizzlies' players are either new players or fringe players. They have no contract disputes, and the job-paying negotiations have nothing to do with them.

Davidson greeted him, and naturally he had all come over, because it wasn't possible, especially those marginal players. If they couldn't make it through with the Grizzlies, their careers would basically be over.

The informal training lasted for about a week, and many of the players on the Grizzlies team became desperate.

For example, Sam Mark, the original starting striker of the Grizzlies, was in a bad mood after seeing Carter's strength.

Carter is so powerful that as long as Sam Mark is a little rational, he should be very clear that his life will definitely not be so easy from now on.

For these non-star players, it is absolutely torture to have a talented new player in the team who is in the same position and is extremely talented.

This may also be the reason why many old NBA players like to bully newcomers...

However, this situation does not exist in a new team like the Grizzlies, because there are no experienced players in the team.

As soon as the training camp ended, Davidson released a news to the outside world that the Grizzlies put the team's original starting center Bryant Levis on the shelves.

As soon as this news was released, many teams became interested.

After all, a standard seven-foot center who can contribute 16+8 per game in the third grade is quite imaginative.

Many players at the center position are late for a long time, and Levitra's current instant combat power is also good. Even if his strength has not been improved after he wins it, his current instant combat power is enough.

The key is that it is young enough to attract teams that are quite attractive to those rebuilding periods.

The team that contacted Davidson was the Toronto Raptors.

The Raptors and the Grizzlies are definitely relatives who are in the same vein. These two teams in the league are not in the United States.

After entering the league, the drafts of the two teams were very similar. The Grizzlies chose Raheem and Levitra two years ago, while the Raptors chose Stoudemire and Marcus Camby.

The Raptors' idea now is to take down Levitra, then form a double tower with Camby and the other two, and there is a flying mouse on the outside. This lineup is quite attractive.

With the double towers combined with a reliable outside line, almost all team-building ideas for rebuilding teams are this routine, and the Raptors are naturally no exception.

The Raptors are willing to ask Levitra, so Davidson naturally welcomes them with both hands, provided that the Raptors can afford to make bargaining chips.

During the negotiation of wages, transactions and other transactions are definitely not allowed, but this does not prevent the team from negotiating first.

Davidson is willing to send Levitra to the Raptors, but the premise is that the Raptors have to send their first round pick next year.

Levitra, who averages 16+8 per game, can't say who suffers a loss if he only replaces the Raptors' first-round pick.

But the premise is that the Raptors' record cannot be too bad. If it is the top three picks, the Raptors will definitely lose a little.

But I didn't lose much. After all, even if I have the top three picks, I may not be able to choose a player of Levitra of the level.

There are no parallel players in the top three picks in recent years.

At least after the 1990s, the top three players were basically pretty good.

But there are not many top three picks who are not as strong as Levitra...

The Raptors said they had to consider it. Maybe they should consider whether they would get a reliable inside player next year if they didn't make this deal.

Davidson is not in a hurry, anyway, there is still a while before the start of the season.

Under normal circumstances, at this point in time, the new season is about to begin.

But there is still no movement this year. Obviously, there is a high possibility that this season will be suspended.

The season suspension will have little impact on Davidson. Anyway, it will have a greater impact on the players.

If the season is suspended, players will earn less money for every game they play.

In other words, if the players don't play this next season, the players will have no money to make money this year.

What makes the players even more frustrating is that those players with contracts cannot play in other leagues.

They can only spend time with the alliance...

As for those players who happen to be free at the moment, they can go to other leagues to make extra money.

The current wage situation is that both parties are very anxious...

Once the season is suspended, players will not make money. Although the boss does not have to pay the players, other positions, such as coaches like Davidson, still have to pay the salary, and there are other expenses.

Without a game, there is no income, and these bosses are also losing money every day...

Both sides are suffering losses, but no one is willing to give in, and the conflict is so fierce that both sides are unwilling to sit down and talk.

Finally, Stern spoke, and if the two sides do not reach a preliminary agreement around Christmas, they will be cancelled next season.

This scared both sides of the labor and salary. If the next season is cancelled, neither side will be able to bear it.

The two sides then returned to the negotiating table. After a long negotiation, the negotiations were finally concluded, but the time also entered January.

On January 20, the NBA, which had been suspended for three months, finally returned to normal and the season began.

This new season that is about to begin has only been scheduled for fifty games, and the annual All-Stars have also been cancelled.

Davidson was a little lucky. Fortunately, he advanced earlier. If the All-Star cancelled this year, the promotion time would have taken another year.

...

On the eve of the season, the Raptors finally gave an answer, agreed to the conditions offered by Davidson, and took out their first round unprotected draft picks this year in exchange for the Grizzlies' Bryant Levis.

The reason why the Raptors agreed to this deal was naturally thought out.

In their opinion, after getting Levitra, their Raptors' lineup will be greatly improved, and their record will naturally be greatly improved. It is not impossible to enter the playoffs.
