148: Crazy Summer under the Influence of the Butterfly Effect (Votes for Monthly Tickets Please!)_3

But teams competing for an all-rounder champion like Horace Grant were simply too many, so the Mavericks decisively put up $10 million and ended all suspense.

Horace Grant himself was also willing to leave, as a role player, he had already won five championship rings and no longer had much desire for championships.

So if he had to choose one over the other, he would rather pick the big contract.

Given that he, who was no longer eager for championships, might not be able to perform as he had in the previous two years, and considering Grant also wanted to leave, Roger didn't interfere much with the transfer.

They spoke over the phone, and Roger wished him continued freedom in airplane meals.

In the eyes of the fans, Horace Grant's departure was a huge blow to the Magic, but Orlando fans still believed in Shaq's words: "Everything goes smoothly with just two things, me and Roger."
