One Thousand Two Hundred and Four: The Older You Get, the More Coquettish You Become.

The free agent market in the summer of 2019 has just opened on the first day, and all fans have been bombarded with all kinds of blockbuster news.

Sure enough, the alliance structure has undergone drastic changes. The top players of many teams changed clubs, and the entire league's ranking was instantly overturned.

The Los Angeles Lakers, who failed to reach the playoffs last season, were ranked at the top of the rankings by ESPN overnight.

The joining of Anthony Davis finally gave the Lakers hope after so many years of failure.

The forward combination between him and James is fascinating.

What's more, the Lakers are still chasing Vucevic, Leonard and others.

As long as they can introduce one of them, the Lakers can take off from the same place.

The Nets, which were tepid last season, have also become the most powerful championship contenders.

Before the free agent market opened, there were messages saying that Durant and Irving might come together in New York.

At that time, everyone speculated that they would join forces in the Knicks. But surprisingly, they all chose the Nets.

With Durant and Irving, plus Dinwiddie and DeAndre Jordan, the Nets' championship lineup was instantly formed.

And they were also ranked second in combat power index.

Of course, the New York Knicks are embarrassed now. They freed up 70 million in salary space to wait for Durant and Irving, but in the end, they didn't use any points.

Then, I don’t know if it was out of anger or something, but New York used all the 70 million to sign a power forward...

Ordinary people really can’t keep up with the thinking of the Knicks management.

In addition, the Philadelphia 76ers also spent crazy money to create a quite luxurious lineup.

The five-star lineup of Ben Simmons, Embiid, Horford, Harris and Richardson makes the 76ers extremely competitive.

The Miami Heat acquired Jimmy Butler. With him, the Heat regained the capital to enter the playoffs after Wade retired.

The Dallas Mavericks, who ranked second from last in the Western Conference last season, signed Porzingis, and the combination of him and Doncic is also very exciting.

Those teams in the second or even third tier before,

They have all become championship contenders this summer.

On the contrary, those powerful players from last season have suffered more or less impact.

The Golden State Warriors went to Durant, and no one knew if they could maintain their dominance.

You know, without Durant in the playoffs last season, the Warriors had no power to fight back against the Grizzlies.

Although they got D'Angelo Russell, Russell obviously has not reached Durant's height.

The Toronto Raptors, who finally rose to prominence, had to face the embarrassing situation of Leonard leaving just one season after acquiring Leonard.

Although Leonard has not yet decided on his next home, he still has the possibility of staying on the team.

But whether it is Los Angeles or other cities, they are more attractive than the snowy Toronto.

The defending champion Memphis Grizzlies have inevitably become a weakened team.

Four regular rotation players were walked away overnight and two veterans were retired.

The Grizzlies now can't even put together a complete team, let alone a championship.

Moreover, Link only renewed his contract with the Grizzlies for one year, which was interpreted by the outside world as a signal that "Link is beginning to lose confidence in the Grizzlies."

So much so that many people have already started discussing which team's jersey Link will wear next summer.

This era has changed after all, and the idea of ​​one person, one city is already outdated. People wouldn't be surprised if Link did decide to leave Memphis.

Watching the Grizzlies' strength diminished, Sam Smith was the happiest.

On the question of "can Link surpass Jordan?", Sam Smith has always been an opponent.

One of his social media updates also triggered heated discussions.

Seeing that his remarks were so popular, Sam Smith updated his news again on the evening of July 1. This time, he said very openly: "Next season, the Grizzlies will only be ranked in the middle and bottom of the top eight at best. If they experience injuries, they won't even make it to the playoffs! Championship? Come on, the Grizzlies have already won it. Enough is enough, now it’s time for someone else to take it.”

Sam Smith's prediction of the Grizzlies' record next season once again aroused heated discussion.

Some people say that he is talking nonsense, and some people think that Sam Smith's words are rough and unreasonable.

An hour later, the former Bulls expert gave his own professional analysis, proving that he was not stupid.

"First, let's look at the free agent market. We all know that the Grizzlies need to add new blood now. But on the first day, 90% of the high-quality free agents have been signed! The rest, IMHO, is still up to Less than a championship puzzle level.”

"In other words, it will be difficult for the Grizzlies to find high-quality puzzle pieces in the future. Of course, you can say that there is Leonard on the free agent market. But unless Leonard can accept 5 million a year, he and Memphis will be It will never be involved.”

"Some people will say that the Grizzlies can be traded. However, the Grizzlies have no trading chips. At the moment, the only trade value of the Grizzlies is Jokic, but not every team can afford Jokic's salary. matched."

"And Conley and Gasol...with all due respect, no team will be willing to accept them. The contracts of Conley and Gasol are undoubtedly premium in current terms. Their existence, It’s also the main reason why the Grizzlies’ cap space is locked up. All I can say is that the Grizzlies shouldn’t have given them such a big contract a few years ago.”

"The remaining Vince Carter and Iguodala, even if they are traded out, will not be able to bring much strength to the Grizzlies. Trades and free agent signings will not work, so the Grizzlies' lineup next season will not work. It would be too competitive.”

"The last time the Grizzlies rose quickly after three consecutive championships, it was because they had several high-quality rookies. But this time, except for Dillon Brooks, who has glass attributes, the Grizzlies have nothing worth mentioning. Rookie players. If they want to follow the old path of relying on young people to re-emerge, the Grizzlies will not be able to do so."

"Finally, I must remind everyone that Link is already 31 years old! Whether he can still perform at such a high level next season remains a question mark. Athletes' dominance begins to decline after 30. This is something most people think about. It's inevitable. What's more, Link is still an Asian player. Look at Jeremy Lin, look at Yao, you can't help but worry about Link's status."

"If Link's dominance declines, the strength of the Grizzlies' lineup will also decline. Then, the Grizzlies' dynasty may collapse completely. It is not impossible to directly enter the reconstruction period. The Grizzlies can dominate the league for so many years without rebuilding. It’s already amazing. It’s time for them to enter the next reincarnation.”

Sam Smith made an analysis and made the Grizzlies miserable, as if they will be at the bottom of the Western Conference next season.

But a lot of what he said is also true. There are no high-quality free agents, no potential rookies, and no possibility of trading.

Even the most die-hard Grizzlies fans can't argue with these points.

As for Link's condition, he didn't say it was okay. When he mentioned this, many people became worried.

Yes, without realizing it, Link has become a "thirty-year-old man".

Link naturally also saw this extremely popular social media trend.

But he doesn't have time to have a war of words with Sam Smith now. Link still has a lot to do this summer.

Most of the high-quality free agents do already have a home, but not all of them are impossible to find.

While Pella and Wallace were busy, Link also wanted to use his personal connections to do something.

In fact, he has made an appointment to meet someone tomorrow. And that guy is definitely a quality player who has been overlooked!

As for my status at the age of 31...

Seeing Sam Smith say that, Link almost laughed out loud.

Status decline? It doesn’t exist. I’m getting more and more slutty as I get older!

During the training for the finals last season, Link had filled up his last little piece of work, harvesting the agile bodies of Grant and Hill in his rookie season.

His path of reverse growth has reached its peak!

Next season, Link will let Sam Smith have a good look at what it means to be a superstar with reverse growth!
