Chapter 1014 (1/2)

Link and Rachel left Memphis on June 30, just a few days after their 27th Birthday, officially embarking on their long planned trip to Europe.

Of course, the world doesn't stop because link left Memphis.

The day they left was exactly the day when the NBA free agent market was in turmoil. All teams have plenty of cash in hand to spend the next few days.

As the new TV broadcasting agreement is about to come into effect, the league's wage cap will increase by at least 30% next year. Each team has more maneuverable space, the owners will not miss this opportunity to take money to smash the champion.

At noon on June 30, shortly after link got on the plane, Kevin Durant suddenly announced that he would jump out of his last-year contract with thunder and enter the free agent market.

At first, everyone didn't take it seriously. Because jumping out of the contract doesn't necessarily mean you will leave.

James also jumped out of the contract this summer, but as we all know, he just wants to sign a new contract with the Cavaliers for a higher price.

Now the League salary cap soars, Durant jumps out of the contract to seek a higher salary, which is not a difficult thing to understand.

But in the afternoon, Durant said in an interview with reporters, ”I jumped out of the contract to find a new home. I love Oklahoma, I love the fans and teammates there. But I think it's time for me to make some changes in my career

Durant's words shocked the whole league.

Kevin Durant, considered a superstar in the League at the same level as link and James, suddenly announced that he wanted to leave thunder!

In an instant, the whole public opinion and the free agent market exploded.

Now, there must be a lot of teams planning their summer signing order. In addition to thunder, at least half of the 29 teams have made Durant their number one target!

In a flash, the news of Jimmy Butler's decision to leave the Grizzlies fell.

People naturally care more about Durant than Butler.

”There's no doubt Kevin is disappointed that thunder didn't make it to the playoffs this year.”

”This is the sorrow of the small ball Market. They have managed to cultivate a superstar, but there is no way to let him die here.”

”There's nothing sad or sad, Oklahoma City Thunder didn't seize the chance to win the championship, and their management didn't work hard for it. I'm not surprised Durant wants to leave

Experts from all walks of life hold their own opinions, and everyone is trying to analyze Durant's mental process. On the Internet, predicting Durant's posts or trends, reading and forwarding are incredibly high.

Bill Simmons was not involved in the farce, and fans were looking forward to him writing an analysis of Durant's future ownership and future direction of his career.

As a person who has a thorough understanding of the NBA League, Bill Simmons' prediction and analysis ”hit rate” is often very high.

But Simmons has been slow to act and has just made a comment on his social media.

”Finally, Kevin Durant's popularity overtook link, and he finally experienced the feeling of being the league's overlord and made headlines once again. It's a pity that it was in this way. I have nothing to say at the moment, but in a few days, the answer will be revealed. ”

Simmons is obviously indifferent to such things. Durant's incident can only show one problem - the existence of link has accelerated the growth of the ”huddling” ethos.

Because it turns out that linck can't do it alone. Even, you don't have to work with link after you get together.

Other stars want to occupy a place in this era, they must unite to resist the enemy together.

Simmons shook his head, as if never before in NBA history.

Because one player is too strong, several other powerful players have to keep warm...

Durant's decision, in fact, reflects link's greatness from the side.

With this kind of thinking, it is not difficult to predict Durant's ownership. How many teams in the league are strong enough to have the chance to defeat link after Durant joined?

Durant is ready to find out his news, which has become the talk material of the fans in these two days, and also makes the waiting of the fans no longer so painful.

In July, the first day after the official opening of the free agent market, fans saw what it means to spend money like water.

Just 24 hours after the free agent market opened, the League spent a total of $1.5 billion!
