When Link and Rachel witnessed the happiness of others in Spain, the NBA summer transfer market was already in full swing.

As soon as the market opened, the Brooklyn Nets and the Celtics planned a seismic trade involving eight people and three first-round draft picks.

The Nets sent out three future first-round picks in 2014, 2016 and 2018, and then met with the expiration contracts of Gerald Wallace, Marshan Brooks, Chris Joseph and Humphries. In addition, they also used the sign-first and then exchange for Bogans in exchange for Celtics Garnett, Pierce and "Jets" Jason Terry.

This means that the era of the three Celtics has completely ended.

Two years ago, when Ray Allen chose to leave the Celtics, Garnett and Pierce were full of abuse and accusations against him. But now, they have left Boston themselves.

Don't say anything, the transaction is beyond the control of the players. In fact, Garnett has the right to veto the transaction in his contract, but he still agreed to the transaction.

After trading the two Celtics elders, the Nets' lineup has become extremely luxurious. They have All-Star players in all five positions, namely Garnett, Pierce, Deron Williams, Joe Johnson and Brooke Lopez. There is no doubt that this makes the Nets have the opportunity to challenge the Heat and the Grizzlies to win the championship.

But at the same time, the total salary of only five starters of the Nets reached an astonishing $82 million, and they will inevitably pay high luxury taxes in the new season. But for the Russian rich boss of the Nets, this luxury tax is not worth mentioning. As long as the Nets can win the championship, he will be willing to spend as much as you ask him to spend.

This explosive deal completely ignited this fanatical summer. Of course, the Nets' lineup also made the bosses of NBA teams ashamed.

It's really too expensive!

But is it necessary to be equal to the championship? Competitive sports are not that simple.

After the Celtics trade with the Nets, Dwight Howard, who was frustrated with the Lakers last season, finally found his new home.

After 88 million in four years, Howard settled in Houston and entered this city with the tradition of center forward. How much he and James Harden can make the Rockets play is undoubtedly the most concerned thing for fans.

Before the new season begins, people are curious about the situation next season. With powerful opponents such as the Heat, Spurs, and Thunder, now the Rockets and the Nets have joined the battle again.

People have said that it is extremely difficult for the Grizzlies to successfully defend their title next season!

In addition, changes in personnel such as Josh joining the Pistons, Mayo joining the Bucks, Millsap joining the Hawks have also really whet the appetite of fans.

But under the bombardment of this many transfer news, the news that the Grizzlies won consecutive victories in the summer league are not eye-catching.

"Win again?" Link, who was still on vacation in Spain, was still very happy after seeing the news of the Grizzlies winning four consecutive wins in the summer league.

Indeed, the results of the summer league cannot represent the true strength of a team. This kind of game is more like a show for high-ranking rookies, and some low-level players have the opportunity to find jobs. It is a pity to lose, and there is nothing to be happy if you win.

However, Link was still very excited to see Jimmy Butler, Tobias Harris and Snyder playing smoothly in the summer league.

These three people will be directly included in the team's main lineup next season. Needless to say, Butler and Harris, a few days ago, the Grizzlies also signed a one-year contract with Snyder. This guy who looks like a German and looks like a villain will be the chief assistant coach of the Grizzlies next season!

So their ability to perform well in the summer league also indicates that they are worth looking forward to in the regular season next season.

Butler played well in the summer league in Harris and was simply a superstar in the summer league. Snyder also performed very well in the summer league, which shows that he does have a good coaching foundation.

A more mature Butler and Harris, coupled with Snyder Link, who is completely capable and independent, believes that the Grizzlies' strength will be greatly improved next season.

"Are you still watching the news about the transfer period?"

Just as Link fantasized about the Grizzlies' performance next season, Rachel in a swimsuit appeared in front of Link.

Link's eyes were instantly attracted by Rachel. He is worthy of being a female basketball star in high school, and his figure is really great.

"Does it look good?" Rachel turned around in front of Link's eyes.

Today, Gasol and Link made an appointment to drive a boat to the island to play, so Rachel excitedly tried on her newly bought swimsuit after lunch.

"Well, you are definitely the dazzling star on the entire ship today."

"Haha, when did you get so sweet? By the way, Link, when are you going to start training this year?"

"It's probably August, and I feel like I'm almost rusted." Although I'm still in Spain, Link has actually started planning this summer's training. Like last year, Link plans to set up a training camp himself and find a group of like-minded people to work together.

The trainer must be Chris Brickley, and they worked very happily last summer. As for the training partners, Link also plans to add some fresh blood based on last year.

After all, I am the champion now and FMVP. My appeal in the league is more than one level than before. Link believes that those who receive his invitation will definitely be very happy to join the training camp.

This year, there is no training match for Dream Team to practice for Link. So from the beginning of forming the training team, you have to choose the highest-level one.

The holidays for NBA players seem to be very long, but for players like Link, it is very short-lived.

From the end of June to the end of July, Link can rest during this month. But starting from August, preparations are basically in progress.

Training from August to September, and at the end of September, the new NBA season training camp will begin again. So, Link really has no free time.

"You have only been resting for half a month so early." Rachel's tone was a little disappointed. She thought she could be with Link for a longer time.

"Don't think so, you have to think about it. We have almost a month left to relax." Link laughed. He was not at all resentful of training.

Although the trip to Spain is tempting, the days of living with Rachel every day are also sweet. Although Link signed a large contract of $300 million this summer, he became the most highly-watched star in the United States.

But Link knew very well that if he trained hard this summer, he would be one step away from the peak Hill, which was more attractive than anything else.

Since Link had already won the ability of Grant Hill in the 202-03 season last season, if you upgrade this time, Lin would be able to get the ability of Grant Hill in the 201-02 season!

The 2001-02 season was Hill's second season with the Magic. Although McGrady has successfully replaced him in the past year and has become the Magic's signature player, Hill's performance after his comeback is still good.

In the first game of the season, Hill scored consecutively on the "Dream" in his twilight years, scoring 22 points, and let Carter and Peterson make 4 of 24 shots. Then, 28 points and 17 points and 16 rebounds against the Spurs seemed to announce that the "Devil Mountain" of the past has returned, and his bounce is still as fierce as before. Against the Lakers, Hill scored 21 points, 13 rebounds, 9 assists, and almost had a triple-double. For the Nuggets, 23 points and 11 rebounds, it seems that the gap period of a year has not affected anything. Hill is still the same Hill and the super small forward.

But everyone knows what happened next. Hill's fourth surgery completely changed his career trajectory.

But Link doesn't have to worry about being injured. Hill's near-peak condition before his injury is enough for Link to kill all the people in the new season!

And it is well known that Hill's peak period was in the 1990s. But after 2004, the league revised its defensive rules and canceled the famous handhek, and did not allow defensive players to make any hand and front forearm contact with offensive players outside the free throw area, which means that they can only rely on sliding and moving to determine the opponent's offensive direction.

In the following three years, Nash won the MVP again, Wade and Parker won the MVP in the finals, Ginobili made great achievements, Kobe won two scoring kings, NBA officially entered the era of offense as king, and a group of outside players began to rise.

After the rules were revised in 2004, the real shooting rate of outside players increased sharply, and the number of free throws increased sharply, and outside players began to dominate the game instead of the big guys.

But when this rule was introduced, Hill no longer had the ability of the past. If Hill was not injured and caught up with the nohandhek era, could he rise like other outside players?
