Chapter 844: [Big deal, big blood exchange]


In order to send Griffin away, the Clippers management is painstakingly. Not only does it need to communicate with other teams, but also Griffin's own willingness, otherwise it will affect the image of the Clippers and appear unapproachable.
After the discussion, Griffin expressed his willingness to leave. He has signed a top salary, he will not make more money to stay, at most it is easy to get a ring. The most important thing is that Griffin is the second owner of the Clipper, which makes him very uncomfortable.
Griffin said he wanted to go to the team-Miami Heat!
He is a person who especially likes to go to the beach shirtless and basking in the sun. Every year he goes to the beach for vacations, most like Hawaii and Miami. What's more, the Heat's biggest weakness now is that they are not the star of the game, and several transactions were unsuccessful. Griffin went to be the boss, and no one competed with him.
To say that the only thing he didn't like was Heat President Pat Riley. The good news is that although Riley is very irritable, he has only done management and will not intervene in team training, otherwise Griffin would not be willing to go to death.
It's just a deal with the Heat alone. If you can't change the person Yang Rui wants, you can't change it back to Tristan Thompson, right? In that way, in addition to facilitating TT and Kohler Kardashian to fall in love, it does not help the team.
Therefore, manager Orsh contacted the Wizards in accordance with Yang Rui's request, hoping that they could join in and have a tripartite transaction.
After being curious, they were not satisfied with the team's strike line. They were interested in the Clippers' "rich and handsome" Chandler Parsons.
The Wizards often played forward striker tactics last season. "Letter Brother" Adetokounmpo performed poorly. He could break through, pass the ball, and fail to shoot, resulting in no space for the opponent. The opponent can shrink into the restricted area. Parsons joining will solve this defect, and Thompson will make a three-pointer, giving Wall more room to break through.
The Wizards are willing to send Adetokounmpo and Nene Hilario. The only obstacle to the deal is that the Wizards are worried that Parsons will not renew the contract next season because he will not jump out of the contract this season and he will be a completely free man next season.
The Clippers management again asked Parsons to communicate. Parsons weighed the pros and cons and found that the Wizards lineup is not bad. Joining can get more playing time and play better data, so he is willing to go to the Wizards and renew the contract in the next year.
All three parties were satisfied, and the big deal was officially announced on July 1.
The Clippers got forward Adetokounmpo inside and inside; the Heat got Griffin; the Wizards got Parsons and the Heat center Spencer Hawes and a second-round pick.
For the Clippers, Nene is just a transaction. He averaged 29.5 minutes per game last season, scoring 14.2 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.9 blocks. He shot 50.3% from the field. He has every skill, but he has no tricks.
Next season, Nene’s annual salary will reach 13 million. Fortunately, due to his injuries, the last year of the 15-16 season is a team option, and the Clippers can choose to cut it. Yang Rui is interested in his expiring contract, which is convenient for freeing up salary space to renew others.
The Clippers' real goal is the messy alphabet brother of last season's data.
All the media are discussing the Clippers. It is not common for superstars to change teams, but the Clippers have sent away stars for two consecutive years. Both Paul and Griffin have won regular season MVP and FMVP Grand Slams. It is unbelievable.
The Clippers fans immediately expressed their dissatisfaction, thinking that the Clippers' move was just to save money, and the strength of the two players was far from comparable to Griffin. Basketball experts are also surprised that Yang Rui is not short of money. Is he very optimistic about the young Adetokounmpo?
Many team managers expressed their regrets by beating their chests. If they knew that Griffin was so good, they would negotiate with the Clippers in advance. Griffin's popularity is very high. Even if he can't lead the team to win the championship, he can sell tickets to attract fans and have a high commercial value, which is worthy of the top salary.
Of course, they certainly can't change Griffin.
Griffin was very happy to be interviewed, saying that this was the result of the negotiation between the two parties. The management respected his ideas, he would not be angry about the transaction, and there was no conflict with his teammates. He just played in another environment to see if he could do better with his team.
Yang Rui also sent a blessing to Griffin on his Facebook page, and welcomed the two new aids.
The Clippers' new aid immediately responded, and they were even happier because people said that mixing with Yang Rui meant winning the championship.
On the 2nd, the Clippers sent the short power forward Kenneth Farid to the Celtics in exchange for a protected first-round draft pick and a second-round draft pick.
Although Farid is not an All-Star, it is very efficient and can be played in the field, especially the ability to grab frontcourt rebounds. He has averaged more than three frontcourt rebounds in three consecutive seasons. Farid averaged 24 minutes per game in the last playoff game, scoring 8.2 points and 8.4 rebounds, including 3.1 offensive rebounds.
Farid, known as the "Half Orc", returned to a first-round draft pick two years ago or was protected by the top 10, and many fans said that they couldn't understand it and lost money.
In fact, it is normal. The Celtics are now rebuilding the team and do not want to send a high draft pick. Farid is in the contract year. Next season, he will become a statistic team and will look for a team that is willing to repay Farid with a high salary. It's not easy.
The Green Army is definitely willing to renew Farid, because Gerald Wallace is currently a high-paid player. If he does not sign a few people with high salary in the coming year, he may not even meet the minimum wage standard.
The Clippers are even more embarrassed. Farid can't do it without sending him away, even if he loses money, as long as he doesn't change the player back. Because the Clippers are really not short of people, there will be no performance opportunities when the players come, Farid is forced by Draymond Green and Letter Brothers, Nene can also play No. 4, and the offense is better , He left probably to be a marginal man.
Sending a team that lacks an inside line, Farid may play good data ~EbookFREE.me~ is a win-win situation.
On the 4th, Robert Sackley and Wesley Johnson joined the Lakers with a minimum salary. No other team is willing to make a bigger contract. They go to the Lakers at least without leaving Los Angeles.
The reason the Lakers signed them is that they are cheap, and second, they are functional. The team lacks a physical shield and a good swingman.
The Lakers dug the Clippers, and the Lakers players made headlines before the Clippers signed. They and Paul Gasol reached a three-year contract of 22 million US dollars, the third year is a player option.
After the end of last season, Gasol repeatedly mentioned the decision of the free market that joining a team with the strength to compete is his first choice.
Gasol was so unlucky in this life, so far he was empty-handed, never won a championship ring, and did not get his personal honor. It is worth mentioning that the old team of the Lakers very much hoped to retain Gasol, but the two contract schemes they offered, $23 million in two years and $29 million in three years, were rejected.
Gasol didn't care about making more money. He just wanted the championship. As soon as the Clippers sent out an invitation, he agreed to the terms without much consideration.
Last season he played 60 games for the Lakers, averaging 17.4 points, 9.7 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 0.5 steals and 1.5 blocks in 32.5 minutes. His shooting percentage was 45.3%, his three-point percentage was 34.8%, and his free throw percentage was 77.6%.
Gasol and Yang Rui are still a bit different in the past. Because of Yao Ming’s success in the Lakers, many big men in the league are responsible for pulling out three points from the outside and making a pass in the middle. Gasol started practicing three-pointers during the Grizzlies. He averaged 1.2 three-pointers per game last season, which made his overall shooting rate slightly lower, but the tactics played a big role.
Next season, the Clippers offensive end formation will definitely be more open.
