Chapter 218 (1/2)

The 2011 NBA draft conference was a bit cold, because on the same day, the players' representatives and owners met for four hours, all wearing the same gray T-shirts and the words ”insist” on their chests, expressing their tough stance to the League - insisting on the player Union's proposal to reject a five-year $500 million pay cut.

But in the end, no progress has been made in the negotiations. The two sides agreed to hold talks again on June 28 and 30. At that time, if it is not successful, the free agent market will not open, and the NBA will officially enter the suspension!

In this context, the popularity of the draft convention plummeted. But even so, one or two pieces of news caught people's attention. For example, O.J. Mayo was traded to the Brooklyn nets by the Grizzlies!

”There has been a lot of speculation about the Mayo deal since the middle of last season, but last season everything was calm and nothing happened. Just when everyone thought Mayo would continue to play for the Grizzlies, Chris Wallace suddenly did it

”Mayo has been thrown away like a burden. His style of play and his current state are not suitable for Grizzlies. What's more, the Grizzlies have found the player they really want to cultivate - link! The Grizzlies almost sent Mayo to Brooklyn. This shows how much the Grizzlies want to get rid of their flower show. ”

”Hopefully Mayo will find a good form in Brooklyn because next season is the last year of his rookie contract. Whether you can sign a big contract next year depends on Mayo's performance in Brooklyn next year! Hopefully, Mayo will be able to perform well enough with Deron

Although Mayo is no longer the attention of the super star, but after all, has been a fire. It's still quite shocking that people were suddenly traded at the draft convention.

But in this deal, nobody cares about Jimmy Butler. Even, a lot of people don't know who Jimmy Butler is.

But this neglected rookie is exactly the focus of this deal for Grizzlies!

Chris Wallace believes that Jimmy Butler can be made the next Tony Allen. But the real performance of a rookie is often thousands of miles away from the template.

At the beginning, Mayo was considered to be the upper limit for Jordan and the lower limit for Kobe Bryant...

anyway, after the draft conference ended, link's heart was finally relieved. After that, he can begin to enjoy his holiday life in peace and contentment.

”You can't turn me down this time, link. The off-season has come, you can't use training as an excuse

Randolph even ”pressed” on the phone, so that link did not even have a chance to quibble.

Two days after the draft convention, the bored link went to Randolph and asked him what he had planned. Besides, professional fishing gear is ready to go to the Mississippi River for a bumper harvest.

This time, Randolph told link, ”fishing? Do you really think that the only vacation life of NBA players is fishing? ”

”Besides fishing, do you have any better activities to recommend?”

”Are you interested in the auction? In New York. ”

”Not interested, I don't buy, I don't play with collections.” Link skimmed his lips. He only saw such things as auctions on TV.

”You're stupid. The auction is just a cover. The dinner after the auction is the beginning of the real wonderful moment! In order to hold up the auction, the organizers invited many celebrities to attend. As a famous player of the New York Knicks team, I was naturally invited. It will be very busy that night, link. I decided to take you with me. You should thank me

”I Cao...” listen to Randolph said, link deeply experience what is called thick skinned can be invincible! Also NIMA, a famous player in New York, a famous tumor in New York.

”Come on, I'll take you to the scene. I'm a little star at least. I can't go fishing in the Mississippi every day. ”

”I'll think about it, Zach. I'll give you an answer this evening, will you? ” Link waved his hand. He didn't really have any interest in dinner parties, nor was he interested in meeting stars.

Before the afternoon, Randolph called again. So, there was the conversation.

”You can't turn me down this time, link. The off-season is here, you can't use training as an excuse

”I...”
