On the media day, Xie Kai, who had just renewed his contract, naturally became the target of "siege" by media workers. People asked him mainly about the early renewal of the contract, including the number of years of the renewal, the total amount, additional terms, etc.

wait.

Of course, Xie Kai remained tight-lipped and was unwilling to discuss the details of the contract. However, he revealed on the media day that the attitude of the team's owner and management made him finally choose to renew his contract with the team in advance.

Reporters did not obtain the details of Xie Kai's contract extension at the media day, but they still dug up a lot of information about the signing.

After the media day is over, the training camps of each NBA team also begin.

On the second day, Woj revealed the details of the contract signed by Xie Kai: a five-year, fully guaranteed contract of US$80 million, the last year of which is a player option, effective in the summer of 2012, with no other additional terms.

The announcement of the details of Xie Kai's contract has finally brought the previously discussed Rose clause incident to a temporary end. Judging from the details of this contract, he has given up on the five-year, $94 million super contract that he could theoretically get through the Rose clause.

contract.

It is worth mentioning that if Xie Kai enters the best lineup or wins the regular season MVP after the end of this season, he can be regarded as the first player to give up enjoying Rose's clause.

On the same day, the Grizzlies also made a signing. They signed undrafted point guard Jeremy Page to a two-year, $2 million contract.

Jeremy Pargo is the younger brother of former NBA player Genero Pargo, who previously played in the Israeli league.

The Grizzlies signed Jeremy Pargo but lost veteran captain Shane Battier.

Shortly after Woj announced the Grizzlies' signing of Pargo, he announced that Battier would join the Heat.

Battier returned to his old club, the Grizzlies, through a trade last season, and performed well in the second half of the season and in the playoffs. The Grizzlies also wanted to renew his contract, according to Memphis local media "Business"

"Appeal" news, he himself really hopes to stay in Memphis. However, there are huge differences between the two parties in terms of the length and amount of the contract.

Battier hopes to get a multi-year, fully guaranteed mid-level contract. However, due to salary pressure and because the 33-year-old captain is expected to decline in the future, the Grizzlies are only willing to provide a basic salary or a partially guaranteed mid-level contract.

The term is up to 3 years, including team options.

The negotiations between the two sides eventually reached a deadlock. At this time, the Heat extended an olive branch, and Battier subsequently fell into the arms of the overall runner-up.

Losing Battier is definitely a loss for the Grizzlies, but they are also a little helpless. They have already re-signed Rudy Gay with a maximum salary, and they are unwilling and afraid to invest too much money at the No. 3 position.

Some teams will give premium contracts to some meritorious veterans after winning the championship, but the Grizzlies do not fall into this category. They have not won the championship yet, and they have not even made it to the finals.

On December 13, the Grizzlies officially announced the early contract extension with Xie Kai. The contract details were exactly the same as previously disclosed by Woj.

As for why Xie Kai gave up the super contract that was very likely to be obtained with the Rose clause, there was a lot of discussion after the news came out. The number of posts about this discussion on the Internet simply exceeded that of Derek, who was able to obtain a 94 million super contract.

Those who look down on Xie Kai think that the reason why Xie Kai chose to renew his contract in advance instead of waiting for the end of this season to try to get a bigger contract by triggering Rose's clause is because he is not strong enough and not confident enough. Because he does not have enough.

It's time to enter the best lineup again, so I still choose the safe way and renew the contract in advance to get the maximum salary.

Xie Kai's fans believe that Xie Kai did this so that the team would not be so tight in terms of salary, which would help them renew Xiao Jia's wife's contract and have more possibilities for operations in the free market.

There are a lot of rumors outside. Grizzlies general manager Chris Wallace said in an exclusive interview with ESPN: "The team's main task at this stage is to renew the contracts of several key players in the team from last season. I am very happy to be able to do so."

Renewed the contract with Kane Shetty. He is a very good player. He is only 23 years old. He has great potential and fits the style of our team. He is very professional in this signing and has made certain achievements.

The whole team is grateful for the sacrifice. This is a win-win contract extension, and we are very confident in our cooperation in the next few years!"

Chris Wallace spoke, and the previous remarks about Xie Kai's lack of confidence suddenly disappeared. Even the general manager of the team thought that Xie Kai had made sacrifices, and it was hard for outsiders to say anything more.

.

One day after Chris Wallace gave his explanation, the Grizzlies officially announced that they would renew the contract of main center Marc Gasol with a four-year, $58 million contract.

The details of the contract have not been disclosed, but the general situation of the contract is this. This is a big contract with an average salary of nearly 15 million US dollars. For the little sister-in-law who was born in the second round of the draft, it is definitely a lucrative contract.

There is no doubt about Xiao Jia's ability. He is the core of the team's interior defense. He averaged a double-double in the playoffs and is the guarantee of the team's defensive quality. His rookie contract expired in the summer, and many teams want to poach him.

He, the most active among them is the Rockets.

The Grizzlies were also determined to keep this inside tower, and they finally got their wish.

The younger sister-in-law was very happy after getting the big contract. He left a message on his Twitter: "I am very happy to continue to stay in the Memphis Grizzlies. This is like my home. Thank you to Kane Shay and the Grizzlies."

Fans. I love you, love, love!”

This tweet was forwarded by many fans in the media. Many people speculated why the sister-in-law would thank Xie Kai on Twitter. Everyone agreed that it was because Xie Kai gave up the opportunity of Rose's clause, which also gave the Grizzlies enough

I have the confidence to compete with the Rockets for my little sister-in-law.

This explanation is reasonable. Although Xie Kai's big contract will not take effect until next season, once Rose's clause is triggered and a super contract is signed, the team may have to pay luxury tax next season.

After completing Xiao Jia's contract extension, the Grizzlies' starting five have all completed their contract extensions. They have well retained the lineup that made it to the Western Conference Finals. Although they have not yet received strong reinforcements, the current team

The lineup is already quite strong. You must know that this team has already reached the Western Conference Finals without quasi-All-Star small forward Rudy Gay.
Chapter completed!
