But there is also a huge problem in front of Grizzlies general manager Chris Wallace, which is salary space. This thing is not something that they can come out of thin air just by knocking on the head. If the boss is unwilling to pay high luxury taxes, it is impossible to sign Xie Kai without changing the core lineup structure. But if Xie Kai is signed, it will inevitably attack several bigwigs in the team with salary of more than 10 million, otherwise it will be impossible to sign.

In fact, Xie Kai knew very well that the Grizzlies did not want to really give up on themselves. The commercial value they brought to this small-season team is immeasurable. Everyone knows the increase in strength and what happened last season. The team is waiting, waiting for them to take the initiative to apply for a salary cut, just like Daidai back then.

Which of the two big fishes, Xie Kai and Durant, has become the biggest highlight of this offseason. Currently, Xie Kai's top three suitors are the Grizzlies, Lakers and Mavericks. Behind are the Celtics, Knicks, Suns, and Magic.

There are also many teams pursuing Durant, including the Thunder, Knicks, Celtics, Wizards and Warriors.

No one expected that the Warriors actually had room to pursue Durant. But careful people found that they did have room. Because last season's unanimous MVP, Kuritian, signed the offseason after he was injured, with a low annual salary of only 44 million yuan.

If we look at it from the current perspective, it is really inappropriate, but in the season before signing this contract, Curry was injured and only played 26 games.

So Curry's contract is one year away, less than 13 million, which is simply a bonus for the Warriors.

The contract between Thompson and the all-round insider Zhu Meng Green was also signed before the TV broadcast contract was signed, so their contract now seems to be very cost-effective and has bonuses. Adding up so many bonuses, they can just deal with Bogut's contract and not renew the NC Blackhawks, and they can make room to sign Durant!

Oh my God! The team that won 73 last season can still free up the maximum salary to sign Durant? I don’t dare to play this in the game!

As the parent team, the Thunder can provide a super maximum salary of 5 years, and is the team that can give Durant the most money. Moreover, they have superstars like Westbrook and are also the parent team that trains Durant, so objectively speaking, they are the team that is most likely to continue to cooperate with him.

The Celtics entered the Eastern Conference Final last season. They are young and passionate and historical giants. If Durant goes, they can really compete with the defending champion Cavaliers.

Durant is a Washington native, so the Wizards are also considered his hometown team. Since James returned to the Cavaliers to fulfill his promise, many fans also hope that Durant can also go back to his hometown to do something.

Although the Wizards are not a super strong team, they have double-guns in the backcourt Wall and Bill. If Durant goes, they will just make up for the front line and will instantly become a strong team.

Everyone is waiting for the final destination of Big Fish. The fate of many free agents is on Big Fish. Where the Big Fish goes, it will change the recruitment ideas and strategies of many teams this summer.

On July 1, the NBA free agent market officially opened, which means that the agreements that had been negotiated before can be officially announced. Of course, formal agreements will take some time to sign, but many oral agreements are similar to formal agreements. In the West, verbal agreements are highly valued, and verbal agreements have become "gentleman agreements". If they violate them at will, they will become anti-bones. In this league, it is natural that the character collapses. Once you are old, there is still a chance that no one will want them.

After the free agent market opened, there were many transactions signed, but there were not many real celebrity players or big deals. Obviously, everyone was waiting, looking forward to miracles, and looking forward to the big fish being favored.

On July 4, Thunder star Kevin Durant announced on the "Star Stand" website that he would sign a contract with the Golden State Warriors!!!

This is definitely the biggest news so far in the offseason! No doubt!

According to a well-known ESPN reporter Mar, Durant will sign a two-year, $54.3 million contract with the Warriors, and there will be a player option in the second year.

According to Yahoo Sports's leading reporter Adrian OJ, Durant called Thunder manager Sam Presti to notify him of his decision to join the Warriors.

It is reported that during the meeting with the Warriors, Warriors general manager Bob Myers told Durant: "Without you, we can win one or two more championships. Without us, you may also win the championship. We join forces and win a lot."

Durant joined the Warriors? There were only reporters' speculations before that, saying that the Warriors could theoretically offer a maximum salary to win Durant, but they didn't expect that all this would happen.

Many people don’t think Durant will join the Warriors not because he will definitely not leave the Thunder, nor because he will not join a strong team, but because in the just-concluded Western Conference Finals, the Thunder where he was in was eventually reversed and eliminated by his opponent in a 3:1-score lead and missed the finals.

Such an experience made most people think that Durant would not like the Warriors in his heart, and he was in a state of anger, but who would have thought that he would do this.

The Thunder where Durant is located was really a breath away. If Klay Thompson hadn't scored 11 3 points in G6, the Warriors would have kneeled, but such a series would have become the last straw to break the camels.

After learning that Durant joined the Warriors, Xie Kai immediately contacted his good brother Russell Westbrook.

"Russ, it's me, Kane!" Xie Kai said.

Westbrook on the other end of the phone seemed not surprised at all, Xie was calling him at a meeting: "Kain, are you okay in China now?"

Xie Kai said, "I'm fine. KD went to the Golden State Warriors, did he tell you?"

Westbrook smiled bitterly: "No, he didn't need to tell me, I'm not the general manager."

Xie Kai sighed in his heart. Durant is doing this in such a fucking insane way. You want to change teams, but you don’t want to be in the Thunder. You are a free agent, wherever you want to go, but you go to the Warriors, you can put your face down. Have you ever considered Westbrook with your brother, who has been with you for many years? Who has always called Westbrook in front of the media before, but when you join the Warriors, why don’t you even know the good brothers about such a big thing?

Xie Kai didn't want to tell Westbrook too much about how bad Durant was. This could only increase Westbrook's depression and could not solve any problem.

"What about you, what do you think?" Xie Kai asked.
