Chapter 775: Griffin put on the shelf

Right now, the Clippers have two draft picks on hand, one in each round and one in the second round. The fate is that the 2012 first round pick was sold by Stern in the previous transaction.
This also led to Richard's idea of ​​using the 2012 draft picks for the 2011 draft picks, which was completely defeated.
There is still a second round of signing left in 2012, which is definitely not a big deal...
Right now Richard has a headache about how to get more draft picks.
Judging from the current Clippers situation, if you want a good draft pick, it is estimated that you can only take Griffin or Sun Yue to trade.
Whether it is Griffin or Sun Yue, the transaction value is quite large.
Griffin is just a rookie season, playing 24 points and 13 rebounds per game. Many experts predict that Griffin may become the top three power forward in history.
If this super talent is visible to the naked eye, if it is placed on the trading market, it may directly lead to the boiling of the trading market. Those who rebuild the team, who do not want to get players like Griffin.
The strength is extremely strong, the key is that the style of the ball is explosive and good-looking. Since his rookie season, the All-Star starter, I know how popular this product is.
If you can get this kind of player, the team can directly start the reconstruction, with Griffin as the core, a little reinforcement, it is completely a team that stabilizes the playoffs.
As for Sun Yue, his strength is naturally not as good as Griffin. Although his scoring average is also in the top 20 in the league's scoring list, but the offensive efficiency is a bit worse, and the value is certainly not as high as Griffin.
However, Sun Yue also has its own advantages, the contract is cheap...
A four-year contract of only 15 million US dollars, this contract is simply cheap. It's not like the price.
In this way, Sun Yue is a baby pimple for teams that are interested in strengthening but are suffering from no salary space.
It is foreseeable that if Richard releases the desire to sell Sun Yue, it is estimated that there will be many teams interested.
But now Richard has no plans to sell Sun Yue...
The four-year 15-million-dollar contract was so cheap that it was the key to smashing props on Sun Yue. If you sell it now, it is really a little loss. It is better to use it for a few years.
Griffin can be taken out, if there is a suitable chip, Richard Dexing may really sell Griffin.
After all, Griffin is Richard's most important chip at hand, and it can even be said to be Richard's only available chip.
In the Clippers that Stern left for Richard, the value of all the players added together, maybe Griffin will occupy 90% of the weight, or even more...
In this case, Richard wants to rebuild, then it must be a big deal.
...
After the All-Star game, Richard negotiated a deal with Griffin with several well-connected teams.
When they learned that Richard had the idea of ​​trading Griffin, these teams were obviously shocked by Richard.
In their view, Griffin is undoubtedly the best cornerstone for the reconstruction of this Clipper. Now Richard is going to sell all cornerstones. How come it is not surprising.
Richard and these teams are discussing Griffin, but they are only releasing a signal that Griffin is not a non-sale product of the Clippers. If there is a suitable chip, Richard will take action. Sell ​​Griffin.
...
A few days later, more than half of the league’s top executives knew the Clippers had intentionally shot Griffin.
This kind of news is naturally circulated in small circles. At present, the outside world does not know Richard's thoughts.
If you let the outside world know, it is estimated that there will be no small waves...
If others don't say it, Griffin can't stand it.
Is your own performance bad? It can be called a rookie season performance. In this situation, the boss still has to sell himself, there is no place to reason.
...
Soon, the first team couldn't sit still and called Richard's phone for a deal.
Minnesota Timberwolves!
Many experts predict that Griffin's future achievements may be higher than that of Garnett. In this case, the Timberwolves management can't sit still.
Right now, there is a Beasley in their team, just relying on a Beasley, how can there be a chance to revive the Timberwolves...
And now the Clippers are going to fight Griffin, let them see the hope of the rise of the Timberwolves.
They can also roughly guess the purpose of Richard's shot against Griffin, certainly thinking of using Griffin in exchange for some future draft picks.
In this case, they gave two quotation schemes.
The first is to send Corey Brewer plus an 11-year first-round pick in exchange for Griffin.
This plan is undoubtedly sincere. The Clippers are currently ranked in the bottom of the Western Conference and the league in the bottom of the league. Their draft picks are estimated to be no worse.
Brewer's strength is still quite good. Last season, he averaged 13 points per game. The defensive end is also awesome. That is, the Timberwolves now have Beasley and Wesley Johnson, who just got last season. As a result, they were unable to give company commander Brewer more playing time.
Richard first rejected this first plan...
He didn't need the Timberwolves such a high pick, guaranteed the top four picks, if Richard really got it, he really didn't know how to choose.
As for Brewer, the strength is naturally good, and he is a member of West Lafayette, but it is too similar to Sun Yue's style. The style of the two people is almost completely a player carved in a mold.
And Sun Yue's current strength is slightly stronger than Brewer, in this case, winning Brewer can only be placed on the bench, some gains and losses.
As for the second trading plan, it is actually quite sincere, sending Beasley plus the top ten picks for 12 years...
To be honest, the Timberwolves can be said to be quite sincere. In order to get Griffin, he even sent Beasley.
Beasley is actually pretty good at the moment, and is stronger than normal.
Because of Richard's reasons, Beasley is now strict with himself, and has not caused much trouble.
The performance on the court is not as casual as it normally is...
In addition, he is still very young, and cultivate it well. Although it is difficult to reach the level of Durant, at least it can reach the All-Star level.
But now in order to get Griffin, a power forward with an innate talent, the Timberwolves are willing to put up Beasley, and then added the first round of protected draft picks.
Richard almost agreed to the Timberwolves' trading plan...
That is, the 2012 draft picks given by the Timberwolves. If 11 years of draft picks are given, Richard estimated that he would agree without saying anything.
But now Richard doesn’t really want the 12-year draft pick. This draft is actually an embarrassing draft year after shaving off No. 1 Nongmei. The first round is nothing. Richard has nothing to do with it. player of……
In this situation, Richard directly rejected the Timberwolves' offer.
Anyway, there is no hurry to sell now, it is always necessary to shop around and seek to maximize the benefits.
Next, the Kings, Wizards, Raptors, and even Green Kai found Richard, hoping to buy Griffin from Richard.
Buying Griffin is definitely a profitable trade. As long as the chips are not too exaggerated, capable teams hope to get Griffin.
For these teams, Richard also rejected their offer plan.
Either they don’t have the chips that Richard wants, or they want to play the autumn wind like Green Kai, and want to take advantage of Richard...
Richard's cheapness is so easy to account for. For such a team, Richard naturally closed the trading channel decisively, giving them no chance at all.
After nearly a month of screening, Richard finally selected the last two more reliable trading partners.
One is a knight and the other is an eagle.
The Cavaliers want Griffin, which is normal, but James just left. They must need a popular star to save the ball.
There is no doubt that Griffin is a pretty good choice.
The style of the game is explosive, and the data is good. The Cavaliers management is confident that after winning Griffin, the Cavaliers' market will return to its peak.
For this reason, the Cavaliers can be regarded as a capital, willing to take out the combination of Valejo plus Ramon Sessions or Morris Williams, plus an 11-year first-round pick in exchange for Griffin.
An inside player plus a decent point guard, whether it is Sessions or Mobi, these two point guards are good, and the Clippers lack a point guard...
In terms of draft picks, the Cavaliers now rank second from the bottom of the league, which is only one more win than the Timberwolves. The pick must be very high.
Richard knew that the Cavaliers would be the top pick...
It seems reasonable that Richard should not have room for rejection.
A top pick, plus two absolute starter level players, and even quasi-all-star level players ~EbookFREE.me~ in exchange for a Griffin, Richard does not look at any loss.
But for the price quoted by the Eagles, for Richard, the temptation is also enormous.
The Hawks are willing to exchange their core el Al Horford with an 11-year first-round pick in exchange for Griffin's quick starter Blake.
There is no doubt that this offer is no less attractive to Richard than the Cavaliers offer.
Although I asked for more Blake, Blake actually had no value in Richard's eyes. It was definitely not in Richard's reconstruction plan anyway. Now that the Eagles want it, just give him...
Under normal circumstances, the Eagles have actually been on the rise in the last two seasons.
But after all, this is just a normal situation. The Hawks have a good record because they have Joe Johnson, Josh Smith and Al Horford troika...
Now at least they don't have Joe, the most important single in the troika, which leads the Hawks to feel a little bit meaningless now.
