Jim Butler''s departure was both unexpected and reasonable.
It''s true that three consecutive titles are what many players dream of. Many people, not to mention three consecutive titles, want to win a championship, it has to pay the whole career to work hard.
Even so, they are not necessarily available.
But it is not certain that the team that has won three consecutive titles can maintain the status quo. After all, everyone has his own pursuit and goal. Not everyone wants to repeat one thing in a team.
Especially after winning the championship three times in a row, people''s psychology will change.
Not to mention three consecutive titles, even after winning the championship once, the champion lineup is not a few cases.
Dallas Mavericks in 2011, the Lakers after the last three consecutive championships, and so on, are living examples.
No team can always dominate one side, the huge mobility of players is also one of the greatest charm of NBA.
In this regard, the famous NBA coach, the current heat general manager Pat Riley has studied and summarized this situation, he called this psychological image "greedy.".
Pat Riley is more than just a well-known manager, which is not enough to sum up his greatness. Riley''s understanding of basketball and NBA is very thorough.
He is one of the few people to win the championship in the league as a player, coach and general manager, not because Riley is lucky.
He can lead the team to win the title in the coaching position, also can clinch this kind of earthquake magnitude transfer as the general manager of the heat three.
He has his own ideas on basketball. He has predicted that the boundaries between different positions of basketball will become more and more blurred in the future. There will be five players about 2.05 meters in the game on the basketball court.
Now, this trend is becoming a reality.
The greed of champion teams is also a very real theory put forward by Pat Riley.
A game, a series or even a season may not reflect the influence of participation on players'' enthusiasm and motivation.
But what about two seasons? How about founding a dynasty? In the third and fourth season, when you are still quietly staying at the bottom corner and hitting the open three points, combined with the inertia of the champion team "I used to climb the mountain top", can you still maintain the concentration when you first attack the champion, and still feel that it is interesting, passionate and honorable to see the same faces every day to play 82 matches?
After a team wins in one year, the next year, all players want more time, more money, higher status or more shots.
They will think, "I''m already a champion, I should always have some of my own privileges, instead of doing things like pick and roll, three open points every day, and give the spotlight to another person.".
He wants to be on his own and create his own Championship era.
He''ll think he''s won enough titles and maybe he should continue his career in a different way.
Everyone has their own ideas and desires. This is the greed of the champion team, an inevitable phenomenon that occurs in every winning team.
Pat Riley saw this phenomenon thoroughly many years ago and put forward a theory. He knew that the players in the League were not a series of data, but real people.
You can''t get everyone to think alike, just like igordala doesn''t like being a star, but some people are crazy about it.
Many years ago, guard Gary Neal, who was discovered and trained by Popovich, said when he left the Spurs, "the Spurs are really a great team, but no matter how many championships and victories you win there, you will never be the leading role. The protagonist is Parker, Ginobili, Duncan. No one will remember you
So Gary Neal chose to leave.
Therefore, it is not a team that always wins and always wins the championship, and everyone will stay forever.
Don''t talk about these role players, such as James, Garnett, Paul and other superstars, have not achieved the end of the team.
And those who end up in the first team are not necessarily as glamorous as they seem.
Although Duncan has become a symbol of the Spurs, at the beginning of the millennium, he was infinitely close to Orlando Magic.
Although Kobe is now the totem of the Lakers, he used to want to play in Chicago. If it wasn''t for Pau Gasol, God knows if Kobe is still in purple and gold.
At the beginning, link was also a little difficult to accept that Butler was going to leave.
But when he went back to think about it the next day, link was relieved.
He not only accepted the fact that Butler wanted to leave, but also was ready for more people to leave.
This summer, is a beautiful summer. But inevitably, it will be a summer of parting.
"What''s the matter? You''ve been distracted since you came back from dinner with Jimmy yesterday Rachel, who is watching TV in link''s arms, touches his face, and link regains his consciousness."It''s nothing. I''m thinking about our tour route, hehe." Link smiles. He doesn''t want to bring his work troubles to Rachel.
"It''s very kind of you to take a bath. The water should be hot already."
"It''s still early. It''s only eleven o''clock."
"You have to rest early today. Do you forget that you have to go to the rookie training tomorrow?"
"Oh, yes." Link slapped his head. Tomorrow is the day for the Rookies of this year to go to the FedEx stadium for trial training.
And link will naturally come to the scene, as far as possible to let the Grizzlies bring some useful people back to the team.
Because the Grizzlies have always been the champion team, there is no high ranking draft right. The low ranking draft needs link''s experience from the future.
Time flies, by the way. I don''t know how joachic and Ding Weidi, who were selected last year, grew up one year later.
One of them is in Europe, and the other is in the development alliance. Before they start to make an appearance in Grizzlies, it is time to make a choice again.
Link gets up to go to the bathroom, but just a few steps away, he turns back and looks at Rachel. "Aren''t you together?"
Rachel smiles, turns off the TV and gets up from the sofa.
"All right."
When link arrived at the gate of the FedEx stadium the next day, he found many fans gathered outside the stadium.
They''re all here for Jimmy Butler.
This morning, Butler officially announced that he would not renew his contract immediately, but would test the free agent market.
There is no doubt that this is a deep-water bomb for the whole free agent market.
Although Butler is not the leading star of the Grizzlies, he has undoubtedly played his worth. Everyone believes that there will be a lot of teams competing for a big contract for Butler.
So early this morning, fans gathered at the gate of the stadium. Some of them had signs that said, "stay, Jimmy," and some had "get out, traitor.".
It seems that fans have different views on Butler''s departure.
Link shook his head. Parting was unpleasant but had to be experienced for all.
Soon, link crossed the players'' aisle and came to the training hall. As last year, the rookies are warming up.
Seeing Memphis''s "King''s Majesty" driving, rookie players instantly become serious.
"Good morning, link." When Joel saw link, he waved at him. "What''s the matter with you? The dark circles are so heavy. "
"Er... I went to bed a little late yesterday Link scratched his head sheepishly.
He even suspected that Rachel''s urge to take a bath was a trap from the beginning...
"pay attention to rest. How is your injury getting along?"
"It''s almost recovered. As long as you don''t exercise hard, you won''t feel any pain. By the way, the matter of Jimmy... "
" Jimmy has talked to the management, and he insists on leaving, and claims not for the money. I think it''s an irreparable situation for us to lose Jimmy. Besides, we have no advantage in the price of the contract. I''ve heard that many teams are ready to sign up for Jimmy for nearly 100 million in five years. We can''t come up with this number at all. Because this summer, we have to renew mark. Next summer, we have to renew Conley''s contract. We don''t have much room to operate
"Well... No way. This is the NBA." Link shook his head and didn''t continue to regret too much.
"But I have worse news than Jimmy." Joel looked at link seriously.
"Worse news?"
"I''ve heard that Kevin Durant is likely to jump out of his last year''s contract and enter the free agent market. Moreover, Golden State Warriors will be his first transfer target
"Watt
Link is completely stupid, Durant left thunder a year earlier than the original history!
The face of history has changed beyond recognition.
