The NBA league has always had strict restrictions on the trade of draft picks, and the "7-year rule" only allows teams to trade draft picks for the next 7 years.

Steve Ballmer may not be aware of these details, and he has only made a "small" request to Gary Sachs, the current team's executive, to trade for the player he wants at all costs.

But it's also a technical job, and Gary Sachs is very aware of the team's draft picks, and if the rules allow, everyone can theoretically have four first-rounders, and that's close to the limit.

However, for the Clippers, because of the 2011~2012 season, the team traded Aminu, Eric Gordon, Chris Carman and the 2012 first-round pick from the Hornets to Chris Paul, 2015 second-round picks and 350,000 US dollars in cash.

So affected by the rules, if you want to trade the first-round pick, you have to start with the 14-year first-round pick.

If you want stud, it doesn't seem to have too many advantages, and in terms of the quality of draft picks, if you really trade Li Ze and the Clippers make the playoffs, these first-round picks are likely to be outside the 15th.

Even if Gary Sachs sent away all unprotected signings, the theoretical advantage was not much, so during the Olympics, in addition to playing the emotional card, he also kept running around.

As a newcomer to the manager's circle, Gary Sachs knew he was going to be slaughtered, but he was ready for it, and the deep-pocketed boss didn't seem to care if the deal made sense.

The managers of each team, in the offseason, heard the tone of Li Ze's agent Chapman, for some small ball markets, Chapman all secretly refused, and the attitude was very clear, we are going to the big city.

Such news could not be better for Gary Sachs, but for some small ball markets who are interested in getting Li Ze, this kind of news can be regarded as bad news.

Of course, many of the top iron managers still made theoretical four-round limit offers, while others began to explore the possibility of trading Durant.

Durant's agent, Kleiman, has also been wandering around since the offseason, and the Thunder obviously don't want to spend money on taxes, so Durant also has the possibility of a trade.

For the future of the big employer, he secretly contacted the Lakers, Warriors, Nets, Knicks, and Bulls in private, and expressed his willingness to the teams in the big ball city.

Since Durant's contract next season is 16.67 million US dollars, if teams want to trade Durant, they must not only pay draft picks, but also trade and balance, and if they play role players, they will basically lose most of the main rotation.

Despite the huge cost, there are still many teams that follow the trend, and role players + 2 first-round picks + 2 second-round picks + draft swap rights are considered basic operations.

But for the Lakers, none of this is a problem!

General manager Mitch Kupchak made an offer for Kevin Durant with a 2013 first-round pick, a 2013 second-round pick, a 2014 second-round pick, a 2018 first-round pick plus Andrew Bynum.

And after communication, the Lakers showed that draft picks are negotiable, but the four first-round picks are the limit, and the offer can be adjusted at any time.

After Durant's offer didn't make substantial progress, the Lakers turned their mind to the turtle again, but for the All-Star guard, the offer became 1 first-round pick + 3 role players.

If the Thunder want to tie the trade, then role players such as Artest, Luke Wharton, and Steve Blake can also be considered good options, and next season, Artest's $7.26 million contract is in its final year.

Similarly, Andrew Bynum's big contract is also in the final year, with a salary of 16.89 million, and the Lakers sent an All-Star center and said that other role players are also exchangeable, which really makes Presti a little excited.

Obviously, with Kobe Bryant, the Lakers will only want to strengthen next season, and no matter if they trade to any of the trio, they can greatly improve the team.

Compared to the Nets, whose players are all leftovers, the Knicks don't have many draft picks after swapping Anthony, and the overlapping functions of Gibson, Noah, and Ibaka provided by the Bulls, the Lakers' All-Star center is really good.

After all, in these years, a big center with low-post ability is also a hard commodity, and the most important thing is that even if you take into account the player's intentions, it must be a good choice to play for the Lakers!

At the beginning of August, Kleiman received a call to return to the city, and also saw Ted, the agent of the turtle, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

"Sam, Kevin had a great time in Russian City, if you plan to trade him, please let us know in advance,"

Entering the office, Kleiman sat in front of Presti and said straight to the point, Presley heard the other party's straightforward words, and felt a little helpless, the shareholders didn't spend money, but they asked him to take the blame:

"Rest assured, we fully respect the choice of players, and I'm very happy to see Kevin's performance at the Olympics, and let's get together today mainly to confirm Kevin's intentions."

When Kleiman heard Presley's words, he said with a relaxed expression:

"We respect City, but if there's a trade, we're more inclined to the big-ball teams, you know, Kevin and Nike have a 10-year, $300 million mega contract, and the players also need more exposure for commercial reasons."

Presti returned to his seat, for such a choice, it was not surprising to him, the championship is there, the big contract is also available, Durant is only bad for honor and exposure, and the big ball market is indeed more conducive to commercial development.

"Of course, I understand your choice, wait until mid-August, the deal will be completely settled, you can stay here for a few days, the Lakers, Bulls, Nets, Knicks have offers, we can wait for Kevin to come back and talk about this in detail."

Hearing such an answer, Kleiman was also prepared, leaving MVP, it is indeed a good choice, of course, there is still half a month, everything is possible.

Turtle's agent, Ted, basically expressed the same wish after meeting Presti, and he also knew that compared to the other two, Turtle's trade value was not high.

After all, it would be nice to refer to Chris Paul for the All-Star level point guard market, and the managers of each team also have an idea in their hearts.

Building a team with point guards as the core is too limited, coupled with the fact that the turtle still has technical shortcomings, agent Ted believes that his employer will most likely stay in the city.

Mo Gou of the Rocket Team, after finding out Li Ze's wishes, was very sorry in his heart, he thought that the team had the elements of the Celestial Empire, and Li Ze would like the Rocket Team.

As a result, Chapman refused mercilessly, saying that Li Ze would not play for the Rockets at all.

And he also learned about the wishes of Durant's agent Kleiman, and the other party also did not want to play in Houston, which was very embarrassing, considering that the Thunder would definitely respect the choice of core players, Mo Gou directly switched targets.

The shrewd team manager first traded Kyle Lowry to the Toronto Raptors in exchange for Gary Forbes and a 2013 first-round pick.

Subsequently, the chicken thief quoted Jeremy Lin for a three-year, $25 million contract, with an annual salary of $5 million in the first year, $5.225 million in the second year, and $14.8 million in the third year.

The Knicks were immediately angry enough by this offer, and the "poison contract" generated by the "Arenas clause" made the team unable to match at all, and could only watch Lin leave the team frantically.

When Gary Sachs of the Clippers saw that the Rockets had acquired the Raptors' 2013 first-round pick, he immediately came to his senses, and found out that the opponent's target was James Harden of the Kings, and immediately split up with his staff.

However, what made Gary Sachs feel a little speechless was that James Harden didn't even have a professional agent, and in this case, through a friend of a friend's friend, finally got him to date the current executive of the Kings, Jeff Petri.

After the two met, they blew each other in business, and everyone was in a somewhat similar situation, one was the boss of the team, and the other was that the team was about to change the boss.

On Friday, August 3, a low-key three-way deal was formalized, with all three teams sending an email to the league office indicating the details of the deal.

On Monday, August 6, the league officially approved the first three-way trade of the 2012 offseason.

The Rockets sent Kevin Martin, Jeremy Lamb, Patrick Patterson, Marcus Morris, a 2013 first-round pick (from the Raptors), and a 2014 first-round pick;

The Kings sent James Harden, Jimmer Fredette, J.J. Hickson, and a 2014 second-round pick.

The Clippers sent Caron Butler, Reggie Evans, a 2015 second-round pick, a 2016 second-round pick, and a 2017 second-round pick.

In the end, the Rockets got James Harden, Caron Butler, J.J. Hickson, a 2014 second-round pick, a 2015 second-round pick, and a 2017 second-round pick.

The Clippers got Marcus Morris, Jimmer Fredette, Jeremy Lamb and a 2013 first-round pick (from the Raptors), a 2014 second-round pick and a $3 million trade exception.

The Kings get Reggie Evans, Kevin Martin, Patrick Patterson and a 2014 first-round pick.

After the deal was exposed, all sports media were stunned.

The Kings packed the brush in exchange for Kevin Martin, a consistent scoring point averaging 17 points per game, and a first-rounder.

For the Rockets' selection of Harden, basically no one is optimistic, and the bearded ballster was completely rotten last season, crazy obsessed with three-point shooting, throwing out a 33.6% three-point shooting rate.

And the Clippers traded the starting wing players who averaged 12 points per game for two rookies and a brush? Even if you add another first round, it's a bit of a no-draw.

After all, this first round was exchanged for Kyle Lowry, and the Rockets earned a starting wing for nothing!

The 2.01-meter-old Caron Bart is 32 years old, and although he is older, this is a former All-Star substitute. And this and Hickson's contract expires next year.

On TNT's show, host Ernnie Johnson is commenting on the first three-way trade of the offseason with the Big Three:

"The Clippers are disintegrating, Nick Youngker and Randy Foye, have become free agents and have been offered, trading away Calomba Teller is definitely not a smart choice!"

"There aren't many rotation players left who made the playoffs last season, so do they want to count on veteran Billups?"

Charles Barkley spoke eloquently to the camera, seemingly believing that the Clippers had collapsed, while O'Neal, who was next to him, praised the Rockets' trade options:

"James Harden is definitely underrated, and the Rockets made a good deal! And the team's salary space is still very healthy! ”

Kenny Smith saw that the two were intentionally or unintentionally belittling the trade between the Kings and the Clippers, and immediately shook his head with a smile, and then said in the affirmative:

"We all know what the hell the Clippers want, as long as they can get from the Thunder to Kayce, I think it's worth it!"

Host Earnie Johnson immediately shook his head when he heard Kenny Smith's words and said:

"But that's too much to pay, and after trading a lot of draft picks, the Clippers have to sign players from the free market to bolster them, which puts them in a huge predicament, not to forget that Griffin just underwent left knee surgery in the offseason."

“.”

On the morning of August 7, the Clippers, who completed the trade, were now qualified for the stud, and Gary Sachs received another call from Steve Ballmer:

"I hope you're ready, and after the Olympics, I want to see Kayce report to Los Angeles and get ready for the press conference and we're going to talk to Fox Sports about the broadcast contract!"

Steve Ballmer hasn't been happy for the past month, and the board doesn't seem to want a bad old man to lead Microsoft forward, and some employees have reported it directly to the board that he has management problems.

Hearing the serious voice of the big boss, Gary Sachs hurriedly made a guarantee:

"No problem boss, I'll bring the MVP back to the Clippers, four unprotected first-rounders plus three first-round swaps, and we'll send role players to tie Kayce's contract."

The president, who had just taken over the team and didn't know much about the rules of the trade, immediately asked a somewhat layman's question:

"Why not seven first-round picks, don't care about rookie players, we can wait for big players to come to free agency and then use the salary cap to sign them, and we don't need to think about luxury fees for me!"

Gary Sachs on the other end of the phone hurriedly said that this was already the biggest bargaining chip:

"Rest assured boss, this is almost the biggest chip allowed by the rules, in the history of the NBA, there is no such trade at all, and the other party simply can't refuse."

“OK！ Don't keep me waiting! ”

“.”

On the second day of the three-way deal, the managers of the teams had a vague sense that something was wrong, and Gary Sachs made a low-key offer to the Thunder.

"2013 1st round pick (from the Raptors), 2014 1st round pick, 2016 1st round pick, 2018 1st round pick."

"2015 first-round pick swap, 2017 first-round pick swap, 2019 first-round pick swap."

"Morris Williams (contract expiring) or (Andrew Jordan) + Jamie Lamb or (Eric Bledsoe)"

When Presti saw this offer from the Clippers, he almost thought that the other party was crazy, this is basically all the chips of the Clippers for the next seven years, and in order to equalize, the other party also took the initiative to help clean up the garbage contract.

As a result the Clippers studed out for the next 7 years.

"God! It's crazy, the Clippers are almost overdrawn for the future, and if there are injuries to the players, it will be difficult for the team to complete the rebuild in a short period of time. ”

"Four first-rounders without protection, this kind of deal, it seems to be the first time in history, I have a hard time believing that the team manager would make such a choice."

The staff in the office couldn't help but discuss wildly when they saw such an offer, overdrawing the team's future and going for a change player, which is almost impossible to see in the NBA.

Although some of the first-round trades were not worth much, the sincerity of the Clippers, Presti did feel it, and he couldn't help but feel the emotion when he saw the office staff chattering about the trade:

"Maybe only a layman can make a trade decision like this, but the 2013 Raptors' first-round pick might have a chance to pick up the top 15."

Presti, who has been following the free market, thinks the Clippers will be difficult to strengthen in the future, and when you think about Blake Griffin's knee injury, maybe the Clippers will be silent for two or three years.

Picked up the phone in his hand, dialed directly to Li Ze's agent Chapman, and then thought about the investment in INS of Big Machine Records, Presti whispered to himself:

"Billionaire sports reality show."

Belgravia, London, can be regarded as a wealthy area, and the place where Li Ze lives is the villa that the blonde sister just bought for 6.5 million pounds last year.

On the morning of August 13, Li Ze first received a call from Coach Ben, and then when it was almost noon, he received a call from Coach Dunleavy Sr., and the two were basically lobbyists for the Clippers.

"Are you going back to Amelika? A rare holiday, why not spend more time in the UK? ”

Seeing that Shakira was only wearing a white T-shirt, blinking her big eyes, and looking like she was going to continue to accompany me, Li Ze felt that the blonde sister must have been on science and technology at ordinary times, although she was without makeup, her skin was in very good condition.

"You can go on vacation when you go back, and I plan to release a new album in '13, so you can have a good rest this time!"

Thinking of the current album song reserves, the blonde sister was in a good mood, although the whole album was going to be divided into half of the songs, but a few of the singles she liked very much were produced by Li Ze.

This part of the share, Li Ze basically gave it all to her, and 9% more income, which is a lot of beautiful money! Her albums have been selling very well, and they are also very popular in Spanish-speaking regions.

Seeing Li Ze busy preparing lunch in the kitchen, the blonde sister couldn't help, so she had to send her blessings of love:

"If we work hard tonight, maybe this time we really have it!"

"Ahem."

As soon as he heard this, Li Ze almost choked on his own saliva, and when he saw the blonde sister looking at him with a smile, he immediately opened his mouth and promised:

"I promise to do my best"

Without waiting for Li Ze to finish speaking, the blonde sister suddenly turned red, jumped directly on Li Ze, hugged him and shouted loudly:

"You can't talk nonsense at home!"

By the evening of the 13th, Amerika's sports reporters had been completely blinded, and the 9-for-1 offer in the middle of the night turned out to be true! And the Clippers seem to be negotiable, and there has never been such a phenomenon in the current history of the NBA.

Four unprotected first-rounders, three first-round swaps, role players on the team were picked at random, and the Clippers went completely crazy to help with garbage contracts.

ESPN's sports broadcast that night revealed the Clippers' trade chips in detail, and then the managers of each team were dumbfounded, and draft pick swaps have rarely happened in the past.

And, in order to increase his persuasiveness, the program also listed in detail the famous transactions in the history of the NBA in the past 10 years:

"In the 2004 NBA Finals, the Lakers failed to defend their title, Kobe Bryant and O'Neal deepened, and finally the Lakers chose to send away the Big Sharks, and the Heat made 4 for 1, Odom, Caron Butler, Brian Grant and a first-round pick were exchanged for O'Neal."

"In the 2007 offseason, the Celtics decided to change things and traded five players including Jefferson and Gerard Green and two first-round picks from the Timberwolves for Garnett."

"In 2010, LeBron James became a free agent, and the sign-and-trade decision gave the Cleveland Cavaliers a 2011 2nd round pick, a 2012 2nd round pick, a 2013 1st round pick and a 2016 first-round pick."

"In 2011, the Knicks sent four rotation players, second-round picks in 2012 and 2013, first-round picks in 2014 and 2016, and ended up with Anthony, Billups and three role players."

Obviously, before that, the managers of each team defaulted to the league superstar 1 for 4, 2 first-round picks with 2 second-round picks, plus good role players, and it was already fine.

And now, the rule-breakers are out, and the Clippers don't have second-round picks to show their sincerity, and the remaining three are all first-round swaps

Seriously inflated the price of MVP! The first round simply turned into a cabbage!

After the news came out that night, it was just morning in the Celestial Empire on the other side of the ocean, and when the fans were still praising Li Ze's performance in the Olympic Games, the blockbuster news of the Clippers' 9-for-1 team fell directly on the heads of the fans.

The Tiger Pounce forum collapsed again for 10 minutes, and when fans were able to post normally, the number of replies to this pinned news post was increasing wildly:

"Li Zeniu X! Basically, one person changed the other team, and I really haven't seen this meeting. ”

"It's over, the dynasty is gone, the three consecutive championships are gone, it's all over, the Clippers have two sick numbers, Chris Paul has been seriously injured, Griffin has left knee surgery and quits the national team, just this main force, take the head to play in the Finals"

"The management of the Thunder team is not a good person! The dynasty team said that it would be demolished, what a good opportunity! ”

"With the retention of Durant and Westbrook, plus so many draft picks, the Thunder completed the rebuild in an instant, and seriously, four first-round plus role players may be able to change to an All-Star."

"Lakers Championship! Li Ze waited to regret it, the Clippers hadn't done it for so many years, and the Crouching Tiger easily crushed it. ”

"The Thunder are disintegrated! I'm stable! The Heat dynasty is about to begin. ”

"Rich and capricious, Ballmer won't be a blind conductor, the Clippers don't even have a reliable rotation, and Paul and Griffin's attendance is not as good as Westbrook and Durant."

“.”

On the morning of Aug. 14, Chapman was with an agent and a lawyer, who had just gotten off the plane and were on their way to the Chesapeake Energy Arena.

When he arrived near the stadium, various sports reporters hula surrounded him, and at the same time, the Russian fans on the periphery were also screaming:

"Stay! Kayce, I'd like to see you play in Osoa next season! ”

"Farke Bennett! You deceived us! You've ruined the dynasty team in the city, Farker! ”

"We need Kayce to stay in the city, why don't the team consider paying the luxury tax"

Sports reporters are frantically pressing the shutter, and everyone knows what it means for Li Ze to return to Russia, the deal is about to be reached, no one wants to let go of such big news, and everyone has sent invitations:

"Kayce, ESPN reporter, we can always arrange an interview if you have time!"

"Yahoo Sports reporter, Kayce, what do you expect from next season? How can the Clippers strengthen in the offseason? ”

"We've emailed, Kayce, remember to look at the mailbox, TNT needs you for the show, and I say hello on behalf of Inside the NBA"

Seeing that more and more people were gathering, Li Ze hurriedly said loudly:

"Okay guys, there's still a lot of time in the offseason, there's no need to rush it, I'll be interviewed for sure."

"We're on the front page!" "Shet! Why, we have already made an appointment! ”

“.”

Coming to the team's office area again, Presti immediately took the team's uniform team to applaud Li Ze, and Coach Brooks led the coaching staff to applaud as well.

"Sorry, Kayce, trust me, it's a really tough decision, no one wants to see that happen, but sometimes, I can't sway the shareholders, and the Thunder will always have the door open for you."

Boss Bennett was the last to come forward to hug, seeing that the other party seemed to be a little depressed, Li Ze smiled and said to everyone:

"Business is business, I am really happy to live in Russia for three years, thank you again for your support!"

"I don't want to comment on the team's decision, I'm proud of you for the performance in the city over the past few years, keep up the good work, Kayce, keep chasing those great achievements!"

Coach Brooks pulled Li Ze and whispered in a low voice, obviously, he was not satisfied with the choice made by the team, he had a chance to lead the team to achieve a dynasty, but unfortunately, Kim's thighs were gone

"Thank you for your blessings!"

Chapman took the lawyer and sports agent to complete the formalities of the transaction, and Li Ze saw his teammates who had returned to the Russian City at this time, and everyone entered the Chesapeake Energy Arena together.

Looking up at the two championship flags in the sky, Li Ze suddenly said:

"It's a pity, I thought there would be at least three flags raised over the stadium, keep coming up, only two flags aren't cool at all!"

The turtle was a little depressed, the two started to partner in college, and finally separated, but when they heard Li Ze's words, they immediately said with a smile:

"The 3rd flag will be raised, and the Thunder will definitely retire your No. 10 jersey, it's unique!"

Durant, who was dressed in a strange color scheme and dressed casually, was in a good mood, and immediately said loudly while everyone was there:

"I'm in for a treat tonight, next time I'm in Los Angeles, and I'll let Kayce treat us well, don't think about basketball in the offseason, let's enjoy life together!"

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became a lot more lively, and Ibaka hurriedly said at this time:

"Today I have a treat and thank Kayce for taking care of me, when I first came to the team, I couldn't even speak English well"

Li Ze is not interested in parting with any injuries, the NBA circle is so big, everyone looks down and doesn't look up, there is no need to be so sad, in order to enliven the atmosphere, immediately shouted loudly:

"Don't rob it, I'll pay for it tonight, I have to report to Los Angeles tomorrow, if you're here for a vacation, remember to contact me!"

"Oh!"

In the afternoon, all the staff of the Thunder team held a farewell party for Li Ze in the press conference room, of course, this is also to say goodbye to the community and fans, and Mick Cornet, the mayor of Russia, also came to the scene to express his gratitude to Li Ze.

"Kayce, you are always welcome in the city, and distance will not cut off our connection!"

This elephant party person also doesn't want to see Li Ze leave, every NBA player who gets a big contract will give back to the local community every year, the small gold owner is gone, and Mr. Mayor secretly screams in his heart that it is a pity.

Li Ze immediately stepped forward to shake hands with the other party, and then said with a sincere face:

"Of course, I won't sell a house in Ojo, I come back here every year, I love the city."

In the afternoon of the same day, the deal between the Clippers and the Thunder was officially reached, and the two sides sent an email to the league, just waiting for the alliance to be officially confirmed tomorrow, and in the evening, everyone on the Thunder team turned on the carnival mode, and Li Ze drank everyone down again.

On the morning of the 15th, Durant hung up the phone in a daze, and the agent Kleiman explained his affairs, listening to his left ear and his right ear, he drank too much last night, but he got up near noon and his head was groggy.

I turned on the TV casually, then took out the juice from the refrigerator, and after a large glass was filled, I lay on the bed beautifully, when Stephen A's voice came to my ears, and I quickly turned my eyes to the TV.

"The Clippers traded four first-rounders, three first-round swaps, Morris Williams and Jamie Lamb to Kayce, Kerr Aldridge, Lazar Hayward!"

"The Clippers are basically 9-for-1, and Jamie Lamb is still the No. 12 pick this year, which is almost a 5-round trade in the first round, although it seems a little crazy, but I still think that the Clippers' selection is okay, and the effort will definitely pay off!"

Stephen A, as a guest, once again gave his opinion in an exaggerated tone, and Kip Bayless immediately laughed when he heard such a point of view, and immediately retorted:

"Blake Griffin has knee injury concerns, Chris Paul has also had major injuries, and both are indeed All-Star caliber players, but looking at the Clippers lineup, what's left now? They have overdrawn the future! ”

"The overall winner? No, no, no, if there is an injury, it would be God's care to make the playoffs, and Kayce has yet to prove that she can play on a team other than a superteam. ”

"As for the Thunder, without Kayce, they will say goodbye to the Finals completely, Kevin Durant simply can't lead the team to win, I want to say that the opportunity for other teams came, and the Clippers managed to ruin both teams with a trade!"

Durant, who was lying on Ge You, gradually propped up his upper body, listening to the sports columnist Kip Bayless running with his mouth full of trains, frantically outputting all kinds of outrageous opinions, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth:

"Shet! Can this be black too?."

When the league confirmed that the Clippers' unspoken rule-breaking trade was officially formed, Amerika's sports reporters were completely excited, and it was crazy that one team option could bring so many first-rounders to the Thunder!

In the press conference room of Staples Arena, Chris Paul was in a good mood, and Blake Griffin, although he was still recovering, came to the scene to support Li Ze with a smile.

General manager Gary Sachs almost burst out laughing, and the deal almost broke all-time records, and his name is sure to appear in NBA history regardless of the future.

The media in Los Angeles are equally happy, the new season is coming alive!

The Lakers will definitely continue to strengthen, and it is unknown what kind of record the Clippers can play after overdrawing the future, and more importantly, the topic of sworn enemies in the same city can finally be stirred up.

At the press conference in the morning, almost all of Amika's sports media sent representatives to Los Angeles in droves.

At this time, Li Ze didn't look like a basketball player, wearing exclusive Keds black high-top canvas shoes, wearing blue jeans, a white T-shirt with a black casual suit, and although his hair was cut short, the messy hedgehog head looked very energetic.

Sitting on the chair obediently, next to Chris Paul and the surface brother Griffin, seeing the reporters on the scene, Paul said happily to Li Ze next to him:

"It's finally possible to work together, like I said in New Orleans, the super backcourt is guaranteed to win a championship, and I suggested that Gary trade you over in the offseason, which feels great!"

The first thing that came to mind for the superficial brother Griffin was not basketball, the two had similar tastes, and he had already begun to imagine the life of "playing ball" together in the future:

"Kayce, remember the days when we had a party together after the NCAA? It was definitely my happiest time, the old guys were so boring, and it was great to have you back in Los Angeles! ”

“？？？”

Chris Paul was a little sensitive when he heard the old guy's three words, and just wanted to reason with Griffin, Steve Ballmer, who was wearing dark gray trousers and an off-white shirt, walked to the podium.

The Clippers staff hurriedly maintained order on the spot, and Ballmer threw the script aside, and then shouted into the microphone quite passionately:

"Cool! It's really cool! I am very happy today! ”

"Oh!"

shouted, the old man began to applaud passionately, the reporters on the scene looked confused, and Li Ze and the three people on the stage were also dumbfounded, good guys, they laughed at themselves when they came up, but fortunately, the staff of the Clippers team gave face, and hurriedly followed along.

"I'm so proud of this Clippers team! I'm so proud of our management and I think we've found the perfect combination! ”

"What I want to say is, no matter what the history of the team is, don't care about the history of the team in the same city, I'm here just to win, the first round? Semifinal? No, we're going to make it to the finals, we're going to win them all! ”

"Welcome to here, thank you to the media friends who are here today, I am honored to stand here and introduce you to the best players in the league!"

"Kayce, who is about to turn 22, has been named to the All-Star team three years in a row, has won the scoring title two years in a row, and has won MVP and FMVP two years in a row, and I'm very excited that our management is bringing the best players in the league to the Clippers."

"Oh! Come on, I'm so excited, Kayce! As a member of the Clippers, say hello to everyone! ”

Steve Ballmer began to applaud passionately again, and continued to incite the atmosphere of the scene, the staff of the Clippers hurriedly chirped, and the media reporters at the scene also stood up and applauded Li Ze.

Li Ze looked confused, this kind of scene was indeed the first time he had seen it, he quickly got up, raised his hand to the people in front of him, and then hugged and high-fived Ballmer, the old man seemed to have found the feeling of selling computers back then

“YE！”

Seeing their boss yelling again, Chris Paul and Griffin were also dumbfounded, this is a press conference?

The next scene was a little uncontrollable, with head coach Vinnie De Nagro wearing a formal suit and watching his boss's speech grow louder and louder, and always felt that this press conference seemed to be a bit off-topic.

"I've seen thousands of games in Seattle, I'm a real fan, I don't like to share the stadium, and in the next few years, I'm going to have a Clippers arena in Los Angeles!"

"I'll be in the new arena and hoist the championship flag that belongs to the Clippers!"

“.”

The media reporters in the audience heard that Ballmer wanted to build a stadium, and their first reaction was not to believe it, and then they suddenly realized that this old man might be playing really, and he could do whatever he wanted with the ability to make money

The whole press conference finally turned into a passionate speech by Steve Ballmer, all kinds of big cakes almost killed the media reporters in the audience, new sponsors, new stadiums, new stars, this Microsoft president has a super ability to draw cakes!

After the big boss finished his speech, Li Ze and the three got the opportunity to be interviewed, probably to give face to the new team, and everyone didn't ask too many embarrassing questions, and finally hello, hello, hello everyone, the press conference ended completely.

In the evening, Chris Paul had a treat at home, and the management and core players were all present, which was regarded as picking up the dust for Li Ze.

However, what makes Li Ze speechless is that the current core players of the Clippers seem to be 4 people, and Andrew Jordan saw Li Ze's almost happy flowers, and he had a hunch that he would be able to eat cake in the new season.

Everyone had eaten almost enough, and began to talk to each other, a simple greeting, although the surface brother Griffin was still recuperating from his injury, at this time he wanted to pull Li Ze to play directly, Paul seemed to see Li Ze's worry, and said confidently:

"We don't have to worry about reinforcements, we can sign some free agents, we can sign some capable veterans, and 10 years ago, Ray Allen and I proposed teaming up, but in the end we couldn't work together."

"Now that he's a free agent, I can try to recruit him, and some of my old teammates, I can try to recruit as well!"

Li Ze, who was drinking champagne, almost sprayed directly when he heard Paul's words, and was stabbed by a wave of brothers when he came up, if James knew about this, he might have to find you desperately:

“OK！ It's up to you to do the lineup! ”

Li Ze's expression became more and more eccentric, looking at Chris Paul, who was in a good mood, and always felt that the other party was the real butterfly:

"It feels like the new season is getting more and more chaotic, and the West is about to roll up in the sky"
