Maddie now earns an annual salary of about $23 million, but Richard would rather Stern trade Maddie with Carman before packing some cannon fodder players......

Maddie is also in a contract year, and after coming under his hands, he can at least break out for a season, although he certainly doesn't expect Maddie to lead the team to win the championship, but at least it can attract some popularity to the new Clippers.

And Eddie Curry has a hairy popularity, if he hadn't appeared in this trade, I'm afraid most fans in the league would have forgotten about the existence of this product.

……

Carman was traded, and that wasn't the worst thing for Richard.

What made Richard most uncomfortable was that Eric Gordon was also sold by Stern......

The strength of the round face Deng is quite strong, in fact, he has the strength to become the big leader of the team, but his fate is unlucky, and the 11-12 season has experienced season reimbursement, and his form has begun to decline.

Last season's round-faced den was in the second season of his career, averaging about 17 points per game, and with a little training, he is an excellent scorer who averages 20+ per game, and the key is that he is still in the rookie contract, and the trade value is quite large.

If Roundface Deng is still on the team, then Richard is actually quite cost-effective whether he uses it for himself or trades it for draft picks.

But the round-faced den was also sold by Stern and sold to the New Orleans Hornets for James Posey, who is about to retire.

James Posey at his peak is actually still valuable, his defense is quite good, and although the three-point point is unstable, he can be considered to be able to get it.

But now James Posey is 34 years old and entered the league in 99, and it is estimated that he will retire in these two years.

What made Richard even more painful was that the deal didn't even give a second-round pick......

Carman's deal, at least got a second-round pick, and the round-faced Deng only got a Posey, not even a second-round pick.

Roundface Deng was sold to the Hornets, and Richard could probably guess Stern's idea, which was nothing more than wanting the Hornets to have a higher market value.

It seems that how much money the Hornets sell has little to do with the league, after all, this money is for the boss, not the league, but if you think about it, the relationship is still quite large.

The high price of the Hornets will definitely lead to an increase in the market value of other teams, and the market value of each team will increase, and the total market value of the NBA will also increase.

This is something that is beneficial to the entire NBA, Stern will naturally do it, as for whether to pit Richard or not, then he will definitely not be able to manage so much, anyway, he is retiring, what can Richard do with himself......

In this way, Stern emptied Richard's family foundation and directly sold the two best players of the Clippers last season.

The current Clippers can really be described as poor and white......

There are no decent newcomers on hand, no stars of the playing year, and even draft picks are missing.

The only thing to be thankful for Richard is that Stern didn't completely kill the matter, and still left Richard a good thing......

That's Griffin.

Griffin was drafted by the Clippers last season, but Griffin didn't play in his rookie season and has been recovering from injuries, and this season is definitely going to play.

It is equivalent to saying that Richard only has one Griffin left at the moment, and there is one Monroe who has just been acquired in the draft.

Monroe's strength is okay, but the head coach of any team cannot use Monroe as the cornerstone of the team to rebuild the team, which is definitely a brain clip.

As for Griffin, it looks like a good building block for rebuilding......

But Richard was simply too familiar with Griffin.

To say that Chris Paul may drop the chain at a critical moment, then Griffin is almost the existence of a chain that will definitely fall at a critical moment......

It's not that he is not in good shape after he debuts, but that he can't play because of injuries at all.

Anyway, in Richard's impression, Griffin hasn't played a few playoff games seriously, even if his regular season statistics are like a tiger, but there is nothing worth praising in the playoffs.

Is Griffin strong? Naturally, he is very strong, and in the entire history of the NBA, he can be counted as a power forward.

But is it good to use? It's really not easy to use at all, after all, you can't play in the playoffs, and no matter how strong your strength is, what's the use.

The playoffs are the best time to show the value of a star, and it's clear that Griffin hasn't shown his true value as a star.

Although Richard has a lot of injury scrolls on hand, he is not too worried about Griffin's injury, but the devil knows how many times Griffin will be injured in the playoffs, and perhaps the family foundation that Richard has accumulated over the years is not enough for Griffin to make a playoffs.

So, Richard didn't have much interest in using Griffin as the cornerstone of his reconstruction.

That is, there is really no one at hand now, so the only way to play Griffin out is to start rebuilding with Griffin first, and then use Griffin as a bargaining chip......

Under normal circumstances, Griffin had a super-high stat of 22.5 points, 12.1 rebounds and 3.8 assists in his rookie season, and the value of this trade would be extremely staggering.

And this is also the reason why other stars on the team have taken some of the ball, and now that Griffin has become the only seedling of the Clippers, it is estimated that the statistics can be further improved.

Anyway, Richard doesn't have to count on any results this season, let Griffin brush it well, it's best to brush up on his earth-shattering data, and then use Griffin as a bargaining chip to start the rebuilding of the Clippers.

The current period can be said to be the most difficult period since Richard entered the league, and it can even be said to be the most difficult period since he crossed over.

Because he coached in the NCAA before, although the situation is similar to the current Clippers, they are also poor and white, but it is much easier for the NCAA to absorb players after all, after all, it is not like the NBA has so many rules.

Although it is difficult at the moment, Richard is enjoying it, and the Clippers are completely on their own, and this feeling of slowly moving them out of the difficult situation is quite good.

……

"I can't even get a decent starting lineup, it's really ......" Richard looked at the Clippers' roster for the new season, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

The position of center, Monroe can be played, although Monroe is more suitable to play power forward, but there is Griffin on the power forward, and letting Monroe play as a substitute is really too luxurious for the current Clippers team, so he simply put Monroe in the center position.

Monroe is 211 cm tall, his arm span and tonnage are okay, and his rebounding ability is also passable, so it is not a problem to play the No. 5 position.

And after removing these two positions, Richard's players at hand are really unsightly.

If nothing else, the Clippers' starting lineup for the new season will be......

Center Monroe, power forward Griffin, small forward Rasol Butler, point guard Craig Smith, point guard Steve Bregg.

Richard was speechless, and the next two were all nobodies, but because the Clippers were really unavailable, he could only put them in the starting list.

If you really want to talk about it, Richard doesn't mean that he can't improve the strength of these three nobodies, at least if the fame is smashed, the strength of these three nobodies can still be improved a lot, and he may be able to improve to become a qualified starter.

But in Richard's view, this is completely more than worth the loss, unless he has his brain in water, it is definitely impossible to waste the famous points on these people.

This is a complete waste, with these famous points, Richard would rather use it on domestic players, so that he can accept some in his heart.

In addition to the five-man starting line-up, there are stars like Marcus Camby on the bench.

However, Camby, as a player of the 96 golden generation, is actually only one step away from retirement, and may be able to mix in the league for another two or three years, but it can only be regarded as a gangster, and it is difficult to play the kind of performance at the peak.

Camby is now 36 years old, who would expect him to lead the team to victory......

Moreover, even Camby, who was at his peak, was definitely not the top of the 96 golden generation, and even his historical status was far inferior to that of Daben.

Big Ben is also a DPOY plus a championship several times, and Camby doesn't have anything too valuable on hand other than a DPOY.

Under normal circumstances, in fact, halfway through last season, Camby was sold to the unjust Trail Blazers.

Why is it said that the pioneers are wronged? Because Camby is currently getting an annual salary of tens of millions, but his performance on the field can't match this contract at all.

If you think about it carefully, it is really true to say that Paul Allen is the wronged leader, after Paul Allen took the helm of the Trail Blazers, the contract signed by the wronged leader is estimated to be on par with the Knicks.

Of course, now because of Richard, the Trail Blazers have Oden and Aldridge on the inside, and they naturally don't look down on Camby, and this contract did not happen, which means that Richard still has to bear Camby's tens of millions of annual salaries until the end of Camby's contract in the summer of 2012.

It's hard......

Although Camby's strength is not very good at the moment, but even so, Camby is the strongest one on the Clippers' bench at the moment, and even a few players Richard has never heard of it......

……

Originally, Richard was still thinking about studying the lineup to see if he could find a three-melon and two dates, and take them out to trade, but there are still some dusty players in the league at the moment, and Richard naturally wants to get these high-quality players who have been overlooked.

But now after watching the lineup, Richard's heart is cool, because there are really no decent chips.

Camby, the strongest on the bench, Richard estimates that no one wants it, after all, Paul Allen is a stupid and rich man with a lot of money is quite rare in the league.

The other bench minions, Richard was embarrassed to go to other teams to open their mouths.
