613: stay, stay, go

The luxury yacht floats on the sea, and Mark Gasol lies flat on the bow face down.

His newlywed wife, Blaisha, was wearing a swimsuit, and also faced downwards, lying on Gasol's back.

The two of them pressed each other tightly together, and every inch of their skin was closely connected.

Randolph sighed, "It's still the Spanish who can play," and continued fishing. Link smiled and shook his head. Gasol was usually quite shy, but he didn't expect to be so unrestrained in front of his wife.

"Hey, do you want to try it?" Rachel leaned into Link's ear and uttered these words gently. Link's ears could even feel the heat coming out of Rachel's mouth.

"Ah!?" Link suddenly blushed.

To be honest, if he was so close to Rachel, Link would definitely not refuse. But as a Chinese at heart, Link didn't want to do that in front of so many people.

"Hahaha, you're actually shy! Just kidding, let's go into the sea and go for a tour." Rachel led Link to the side of the boat and jumped out of the water flexibly.

Link curled his lips, he wanted to say, "It's better for us to go back to the hotel and try again."

As a result, Rachel was just kidding...

Link shook his head and jumped out of the water. Of course, his posture was not as elegant as Rachel. He was directly a "deep water bomb" and exploded a large splash of water.

Randolph's hands were trembling slightly, and he couldn't jump into the water to hit people. Link kept jumping around like this, and only then did he get a ghost if he could catch fish.

Rachel and Link were playing in the water, Iguodala was sunbathing on a lounge chair and reading, and Conley was preparing his newly learned cocktail for everyone. Today, everyone had a great time going out to sea.

But Tony Allen did not organize the game on the ship today, but kept fiddling with his phone absent-mindedly.

Just as everyone was about to forget the existence of Tony Allen, he suddenly shouted, "Guys, I have basically reached a contract renewal with the Grizzlies!"

Hearing this shout, Gasol no longer enjoyed the soft "sponge", Randolph stopped fishing, and Conley temporarily put down his work.

Everyone gathered around Tony Aaron and looked at his mobile phone screen.

"My manager just completed the talks with Wallace, and it was 20 million in four years. When I went back to sign the contract, the contract would officially take effect. In the next four years, we can continue to fight side by side again!"

Tony Allen was very excited. His contract expired this year and entered the free agent market. But he never thought of leaving. From the beginning, Tony Allen's goal was to stay with the Grizzlies.

Similarly, the Grizzlies also want to keep Tony Allen. Although the Grizzlies' wings are already saturated, Tony Allen, a ruthless man who can be selected as the best second team in the bench, is really not going to let go.

So the two sides hit it off and finally concluded the contract today.

20 million in four years. Looking at the entire NBA league, this is indeed not a high salary. But compared with Tony Allen's previous signing of 2 years and 9.7 million in three years, 20 million in four years is already a sky-high contract for Tony Allen.

Tony Allen knows that he is not a superstar, and he doesn't want to be a superstar. So, he also knows what the price of a player like him is worth. 20 million in 4 years, Tony Allen is satisfied, and the Grizzlies are also happy.

"Cheers to Tony's successful contract renewal!" Everyone raised their glasses together to celebrate Tony Allen's signing of a new contract.

Link finally breathed a sigh of relief when Tony Allen was able to stay in the team.

Although Tony Allen did not leave the Grizzlies this summer in the original history, there have been too many different things in this history than before. Link is really worried that Tony Allen will leave the Grizzlies early.

Fortunately, the accident did not happen.

Tony's ability to stay in the team is also the first good news for the Grizzlies in the transfer market this year. Because before that, the Grizzlies had already left several people.

Not to mention Bathir and Stevens, who announced their departure the second day of winning the championship, will also go to Toronto after the free agent market opened. After the free agent market opened, South American defender Vasquis, who always had an inspiration last season, also went to Toronto.

Vasquis did not renew his contract with the Grizzlies this summer, but accepted a two-year, $13 million contract for the Raptors.

For Vasquis, he was already very satisfied to win the championship once in his career. Next, he just wanted to make more money. After all, role players like them are the easiest to go bankrupt after retirement. There is no harm in accumulating more assets now.

Therefore, Vasquis chose Toronto, which had a higher quotation. However, Link still sent blessings to Vasquis. As he said, there is no right or wrong in this choice, it is just a pursuit of different things.

After Vasquith, Darrell Arthur also announced his departure.

Arthur was expected to become an All-Star player at the beginning, but the premature Achilles tendon rupture limited his development. He was very happy to win the championship in the Grizzlies, but he also knew that in the Grizzlies, his chances were getting fewer and fewer.

So, Arthur accepted the Nuggets' offer of 9.3 million yuan in three years. He was willing to go to a place where he could shine and heat instead of sitting on the bench to win the championship.

Finally, Asia's No. 1 center Haddadi announced his joining CBA. So far, the Grizzlies have left four players and one coach since winning the championship. Tony Allen is the first player to expire but choose to stay.

"We will definitely be able to create more brilliant achievements in the next four years. Do you think so, Link?" Tony Allen said, looking at Link who was in the water.

"Of course, Tony, we still have a lot of glory to create!"

The strongest sword-bearing guard will continue to escort around Link!

After a few more days of playing in Spain, everyone said goodbye to the newlywed Gasol couple, left the beautiful Spain, and each started their remaining holidays.

In the past few days, the free agent market has continued to operate. The Grizzlies have finally taken action and made some signings.

First, the Grizzlies signed last season's finals opponent, playing for the Heat's sharpshooter Mike Miller, to fill the vacancy left by Battier.

Mike Miller was pardoned by the Heat last week. Since Miller has two years and $12.8 million in the next two seasons, he has to use the pardon clause on him in order to save on luxury tax expenses. In response, "Dragon King" Bosh also publicly expressed his dissatisfaction, believing that Miller's departure will make it more difficult for the Heat to win the championship again.

Just after being pardoned, Miller joined the Grizzlies with a veteran minimum salary. For this reason, Miller refused to offer higher-paid Rockets and Thunder, as well as the Nuggets who promised playing time. It can be seen that Miller wanted to follow the Grizzlies and win another championship!

Seeing Miller joining his old rival Grizzlies, Bosh probably got angry. Now, the difficulty of winning the championship continues to increase!

In fact, it is not the first time Miller has played for the Grizzlies. His peak period in his career was with the Grizzlies. In the 2006-07 season, Miller, as one of the core of the Grizzlies, averaged 18.5 points per game with a super exaggerated three-point shooting rate of 43.2%! So his return is really similar to Bathier's return a few years ago, and it is considered a return home.

After adding Miller, the Grizzlies' lineup is actually quite full, but they are missing a good point guard.

Vasquis' departure has indeed had a great impact on the Grizzlies. Of course, Conley is an unstoppable starter, but he cannot play 48 minutes in every game.

The Grizzlies are still missing a substitute point guard, but in this year's free agent market, it is difficult to find even qualified substitute point guards.

Link has also been paying attention to the news about the free agent market for this reason. He is very clear that if he wants to defend the title, the strength of each position will not be careless.

So two hours before leaving Spain, Link finally saw the news that the Grizzlies strengthened the point guard.

"This season, St. Mary's star point guard Matthew Delavidova will join the Grizzlies' summer league training camp. He is expected to get a Grizzlies' offer, but it is still unknown whether it can stay in the end. It is reported that the Grizzlies are looking for a No. 1 player."

"Dravedova?" Link was a little surprised.
Chapter completed!
