Richard had a phone call with the Eagles president and made a deal directly.

The Hawks sent Al Horford, the team's core interior lineman, plus a first-round pick that could be on the verge of the lottery, in exchange for Griffin and point guard Blake from the Clippers.

As soon as this deal broke out, many people thought Richard was crazy, and he was really willing to sell Griffin, a big forward who seemed to be qualified to hit the top three in history!

That's Griffin, what a joke, many Clippers fans are counting on Richard and Griffin teaming up to take the Clippers out of the quagmire.

Now it's a good thing, Griffin didn't finish this season, and was directly sold by Richard.

When Griffin learned the news, he was dumbfounded......

He asked himself that his performance was already the limit of what he could achieve, after all, this was his rookie season, and with such statistics, it was impossible for anyone to be dissatisfied.

And there has never been a conflict between himself and Richard, he really can't understand why Richard had the idea of selling himself!

And most crucially, Griffin feels like he's selling cheaply......

Dare to love yourself, a super power forward at the top three levels in history, worth such a thing?!

A first-round pick on the edge of the lotto, the value is there, but it's not very high......

A fourth-grade baby-faced insider with only 15+9 data, he hasn't even made it to an all-star!

Thinking of this, Griffin was naturally very difficult to accept.

"Knock knock......" There was a knock on the door of Richard's office.

"Come in!" Richard shouted from inside his office.

The person who came was Griffin, and he must have come to Richard to ask for guilt.

Thinking of these young and potential players, who would want to leave a city like Los Angeles?!

Big cities naturally have more opportunities and can get more endorsements.

Just imagine, if Kobe Bryant wasn't in Los Angeles, who could say whether he would have the achievements and popularity he has now.

When Griffin was drafted by the Clippers, he was actually quite excited, and he basically got off to a perfect start in his career.

The two-thirds season that I have played now proves this even more, with extremely exciting data, and my start is quite perfect.

But now this perfect start is about to be ruined, how can he not be angry.

"Huh? I was just looking to talk to you, young man. Richard said with a smile as he watched Griffin enter his office.

After all, if you want to sell Griffin, you should always have to talk to Griffin.

"Coach, I don't understand why you would want to sell me?" Griffin asked, looking ugly.

That is, Richard has accumulated enough majesty in the league for more than ten years, otherwise if he were to change to other head coaches, it is estimated that they will be greeted by Griffin's roar and roar at the moment.

"Naturally, I want to get more chips for the team, and then start rebuilding." Richard said with a smile.

"But am I not the best building block for rebuilding? Do you think Al Horford's babyface is better than me? Could he be a better building block than I am?! Griffin asked slowly, forcing the anger in his heart.

Richard immediately waved his hand, "No, young man, I didn't say Horford was better than you. ”

"You're really strong, but we're not just going to get a Horford in this deal, don't forget that first-round pick!"

"The first-round pick, just the first-round draw on the edge of the lotto? Coach, I promise you that you will definitely regret this deal, and this trade will definitely be the most regrettable decision of your career! Griffin said confidently.

Now that the deal is a foregone conclusion, it's too late for him to say anything......

However, he still had to tell Richard that selling himself was definitely not a wise choice.

"Young man, I'm looking forward to this day, and I hope you can prove me wrong with your performance." Richard said to Griffin with a calm face.

Griffin nodded solemnly, "I will, Coach!" ”

With that, Griffin turned and left Richard's office.

Sun Yue was standing outside the office, he just saw Griffin rushing towards Richard's office angrily, afraid that Griffin would lose his mind and beat Richard, so he kept guarding the door......

Now that he saw that nothing major had happened, he was also relieved and entered Richard's office with a grin.

"Regrets?" Richard smiled bitterly when he saw Griffin leave.

How could it be regretted that this lottery fringe pick, if nothing else, will bring Richard Kawhi Leonard......

One Horford may not be as good as Griffin, but what about one Horford plus one Leonard?

So how can I regret it, I don't seem to have ever regretted the transaction I made.

Take 10,000 steps back, even if you don't get Leonard in this draft, there is still a black and rough Butler waiting for you with the 30th pick, even if there is a Horford and a Butler, the value is definitely much greater than Griffin.

……

"What are you doing here, boy? Why don't you train well? Richard looked at Sun Yue.

"Hehe, let's go to training......" Sun Yue turned his head and ran.

Although he has been with Richard for many years, he still has an inexplicable sense of fear or awe of Richard.

He really regarded Richard as his elder, and in his opinion, Richard may be the so-called strict master among the high apprentices......

And he is naturally a high disciple.

Will Griffin become the boss of the team when he is gone?

It's all beautiful to think about......

The more she thought about it, the more beautiful it became, Sun Yue left Richard's office and went to the training ground to train hard.

These years of training have also made him truly aware of the importance of physical fitness.

At present, after all these years of hard work, his physical fitness has improved a lot compared to when he first entered the league, and I am afraid that several times the backcourt players in China will not be able to find any player who can compete with Sun Yue in terms of physical fitness.

Sun Yue's training attitude, Richard naturally saw it, otherwise, he would not have given Sun Yue a chance to grow.

……

Three days later, Al Horford was on the team, and Griffin was on his way to Atlanta to report.

Horford's temperament is quite low-key, and he has never heard of him fighting for the ball with his teammates, so his integration into the team has been quite smooth.

Who doesn't love such a strong player who doesn't fight or grab? Especially the baby shark is simply crazy.

Now is the contract year of the little shark, he naturally wants to play a decent data, and strive to sign a decent contract next season, the maximum salary or an annual salary of more than 10 million will definitely not want to, but even if there is an annual salary of 5 million, it is not bad!

When Griffin was there, the little shark played very hard, how could Griffin give him the ball, generally as long as he had the ball at hand, even if it was passed to Sun Yue on the outside, he would not pass it to him......

Well, Horford's style of play is completely different from Griffin's, and his playmaking skills have improved the Shark's stats a lot.

Of course, the team will definitely lose, and the Clippers are still firmly in the bottom three of the West.

……

The regular season is coming to an end, and Richard is relieved that the most difficult first season has finally passed, and from next year, their Clippers will not have to work so hard.

Because the draft picks on hand for next year have already been sold, the Clippers will definitely not mess up next season.

This kind of thing of making wedding dresses for others, Richard naturally would not do it.
