In the summer of 1998, Duncan's rookie contract expired and did not ask the Timberwolves to issue a super premium contract for himself. He was willing to reduce his salary appropriately and stayed in the Timberwolves to work hard to defend the team's title.

In Duncan's opinion, winning is the most important thing. He has had a great time with the Timberwolves, and fans also like him and support him.

When Ray Allen first entered the league, he also loved champions more than high salaries and did not make a fuss about leaving. The Timberwolves had room to renew his contract. Gugliotta's contract will just expire next year.

In the summer of 1997, Garnett, who had just finished his second season, suddenly spoke to the Grizzlies and Lions, and proposed a six-year, maximum salary renewal requirement of 135 million yuan, because he averaged 18 points, 10.4 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.6 steals and 2.1 blocks per game, proving his strength and attracting fans and improving his home attendance.

If the management does not give high salaries, Garnett will leave after the contract expires, and Vancouver is not a place to stay. There is indeed no big-name star willing to join the Grillies, and the management gritted his teeth and renewed his contract with Garnett.

In the summer of 1998, Marbury, the second leader, learned from the boss's good example and took this path of forcing the palace, with very good reasons.

Why don’t I give him a high salary? I also have to renew my contract or leave. I have always wanted to play for the team in my hometown of New York.

Garnett himself accounts for 60% of the salary cap. How did the Grizzlies renew their contract with Marbury? They could only bear the pain and send him away. The process was like the Timberwolves in the parallel world.

With Garnett, the Grizzlies' record was not bad either. After missing some excellent new players, the NBA team's lineup gradually became messy.

The Grizzlies did not select point guard Mike Bibby, and the seventh place was selected point guard Jason Williams. Bibby was the second one selected by the Nuggets. He was lucky and was directly trained to have the ball.

What has not changed is that the Mavericks chose the "tractor" Robert Trayler again, and then went down to exchange for Nowitzki from the Bucks. The Bucks management was really blind.

Many major events happened in the 1998-99 season, but the NBA was still suspended. Soon after the game started, Jason Williams, the "white chocolate" proposed a deal to leave the Grizzlies.

Williams, who just entered the league, plays very fancy and attracts a large number of fans in just 10 games, but his football is gorgeous and unreal. The Grizzlies are as bottom as last season, and then Garnett angers you and let this city down!

This is certainly not Garnett's line…

He punched the "White Chocolate" in the locker room, and his face turned into "Red Chocolate", shouting a golden sentence, "Some people don't know who the boss of this team is yet to do so!"

The Grizzlies' geographical location is already bad, and they have such bad teammates. Who can stay with anyone with a little ambition?

Williams is not the kind of low-key player. He immediately made things worse. He refused to accept the apology and held a press conference to angrily say: "Garnett doesn't want me to steal his limelight, so I'll go and go to a team without a ball dominance, anywhere."

Grizzlies fans are also divided into two groups. Many people like to watch Williams perform. The variety of breakthroughs and various passes are better than the "iron-blooded jump shot".

The Grizzlies' internal strife cannot end. Other teams will raise prices and will not exchange chips for Williams. Garnett's contract with the top in the league, and he is still a thorn who has never played in the playoffs. No team will ask him, and the Grizzlies' management can only trade Williams.

Finally, "White Chocolate" and his teammates packed them and exchanged them from the Clippers for James Robinson and Darick Martin.

After the transaction, the Clippers' offense became very gorgeous. The boss Donald Sterling was almost laughing crazy. He went to watch the game at home without losing any home game. He especially liked Williams. The Clippers also had more fans. Although the Clippers still had a low winning rate, they played wonderful basketball performances.

The Grizzlies are completely bearish after the trade...

Under the leadership of Duncan, the Timberwolves successfully defended their title in the shortened season.

Jordan retired, the Western Conference Jazz were aging, and the Timberwolves performed very strongly and had almost no threat. In the finals, they beat Ewing's Knicks absent 4-1.

At this point, the "Wolf King" will become the title that accompanied Duncan throughout his life. He won two MVPs and reached the peak of his career in his fourth season.

The Spurs were missing a "Stone Buddha". **Vic traded Van Horn to the Nets the next year, and he looked down on this soft boy.

In the summer of 1999, the Timberwolves renewed their contract with Ray Allen with a high salary, giving up the original team's core and accurate power forward Gugliota, who joined the Suns with two championship rings with a high salary.

In the era of low salary cap, no team can win three stars in one go. Except for the Lakers and the Knicks, Ray Allen's rookie contract, the Timberwolves' trident can only disband.

From 2000 to 2002, it entered the era of the Lakers' "ok combination" dominating the league.

The Timberwolves then rose again because the management exchanged point guard Changcey Billups, and successfully renewed the contract in 2002 with a not-so-large five-year contract. He and Ray Allen and Duncan cooperated very well.

In 2003, the Timberwolves won the championship again under the guidance of the new Trident, and Duncan won two MVPs.

In 2004, the Timberwolves lost to the Lakers F4 due to injuries, but the Pacers won the final championship.

Guo Xu was very surprised to see this news. Reggie Miller actually realized his dream!

The Pistons signed coach Larry Brown, but did not sign Billups. Bob Sulla and Michael James were the point guard tragedy, and Rashid Wallace was introduced and he never played against the Pacers.

The Lakers in the F4 in the finals may be able to beat the Pacers, but Malone was injured and Kobe was also in the Hawks County. Losing 2-4 was considered a good luck.

Artest was very successful in the finals against Kobe, and was the team's second scoring point. Before the Battle of Auburn Hills Palace, he had become the team's hero. O'Neal Jr. and Brad Miller performed well.

After winning the championship, Reggie Miller became a perfect life and was whispered to the sky by the media and fans. He is indeed more admirable in this world, one person and one city, and successfully helped the team win the championship at the end of his career. This season, the Pacers have not yet introduced Stephen Jackson, and Miller is a shooting guard and has a high value for honor.

In 2005, Duncan led the team to win the fourth championship and won the FMVP again. This year, he is heading towards his fifth championship. The Timberwolves' lineup is luxurious, with the Trident leading role players.

The Grizzlies began to rebuild, forming the "Three Bears" lineup and making four playoffs. The best record was in the second round. Because they did not rank at the bottom, they also missed Paul Gasol.

The Grizzlies have average record, but Garnett scored 20+10+5 every year, won the rebounding champion three times, and was selected into the best defensive lineup many times. He was called "a star of the same as Duncan" by kg fans!

The kg secrets are very envious of Duncan, and there are such comments on the Internet.

"Garnett is the most underrated in history. If he was selected by the Timberwolves, he would definitely not have fewer championships than Duncan."

"Leave the Grizzlies early, don't let your loyalty hurt you."

Guo Xu also found out that Gasol was selected by the Bulls in 2001, and the Bulls traded again to form the double towers, with a good record. Guo Xu's youngster Jason Richardson joined the Nets and entered the finals twice with Kidd and Martin.

Richardson is still with the Nets, and has been selected as an All-Star once, and he is doing well.

Guo Xu looked through his two phones, but couldn't find Richardson's phone number. His predecessor didn't send a small number? What did he do in this world?

Because I contacted Guo Xu often, I had already memorized the important number, so he decided to contact my childhood friend first...—
