Chapter 349: Persuasion
In this brand new season, the Los Angeles Clippers faced quite a test last season. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info Griffin has only signed a one-year contract extension with the team. You can see his current state of mind about the team. Last season, it was a $17.32 million contract at the 10-million-level level.
This season is $13.03 million a year to continue playing for the Clippers.
"I wanted to leave this season, and you know that the salaries and conditions offered by other teams are quite tempting. But last season I felt good. And there's a lot of change here in Los Angeles [with the Clippers], and I'm in pretty good shape. It's been a season for you. ”
Griffin's face was somewhat haggard, and he was 30 years old this year. In fact, I know in my heart that for an athlete, his physical condition will begin to decline in a few years. This means that salaries may be shrinking, or they are already starting to shrink.
The playing time is gradually decreasing, and the statistics will also drop a lot. There are enough veterans in this team now, and the management has hinted that there may be a lot of changes next season. This "adjustment" does not know who is leaving the team.
Finally, Griffin, who is very healthy for a season, still has a certain ability to get a contract of more than 6 million a year if he chooses to leave the Clippers. It's just an estimate of a team that only wants to be strengthened or doesn't really need it.
And the likes of the Jazz, Bulls, Thunder and Boston Celtics are different! These teams have all felt a little lackluster or missing something over the past few seasons. Maybe the addition of Lipin will give them a different season!
There are also teams such as Chen's Nets and the Knicks managed by Zen masters, the Kings and the Phoenix Suns all hope for Griffin's arrival! It is estimated that these teams will all offer contracts with an average unit price of 14 million + US dollars a year!
As early as two years ago in the playoffs, when he gave Riffin an injury and went down the bench with some gaffes, he had already begun to waver in his heart. The Clippers worked so hard in the playoffs as if they were under some kind of spell, and they couldn't finish a season.
It's not a small blow for every team on this team! During this period, I also experienced some things, and I don't know what exactly was said here. Both Paul and Jordan Jr. went to great lengths to keep Griffin. After a long time, feelings are really difficult to let go.
Or maybe he didn't think much about it at all, and it didn't matter if it was compared to other teams in the NBA. But Paul said for a while, "It's okay if you go to other teams, it's your choice, but you may end up crippled in the playoffs~"
"My legs are crippled and I don't want to play here anymore. I've played so many seasons and then what? Griffin, who smiled, then suddenly raised his voice in a serious manner.
"Our era is about to be replaced by these newcomers. But there is a variable here, and that is the newcomers, the new players who may be on the top will have an impact on our opponents. What if the opponent is strong, you ask? Hey, aren't we still there?! The three of us can beat them up on the field, believe it or not?! ”
“......”
'The new players are a variable if we have any more injuries in the team. There are only two variables that we know now. Maybe the previous variable cancels out this one, and guess what?! ”
Seeing that the other party was a little shaken in his heart, Paul took advantage of the victory to chase and added. Come to think of it, and that's true. This season, why don't you sign for another year! The management already knew that he was leaving, so they cut his salary by several million dollars in the past few years to prepare for the future!
......
In order not to make the players feel too tired, the team intends to stay in the quick loan team for a few more days. Chen also likes this place. It's about the same as before, there aren't many people here. In some places, it also looks a little depressed. However, the temperature and air all give people a good feeling.
Next game is a trip to the Staples Center in Los Angeles. It's against the Clippers! Griffin is rumored to be heading to the New York Knicks, and the swap chips are likely to be Anthony!
That way, the Knicks can do a lot of things. They sent away superstar Anthony. In exchange for an equally good star player to Lipin! The Nets also have this idea, and it's not an exaggeration to say that it's strong!!
It can also play fast attack, and it is energetic and flexible in footwork! Physically strong, can dunk easily, shoot accurately, and sometimes the ability to pass the ball quickly is really coveted!! However, the Nets can only give a contract of up to $10 million for one year.
If the Knicks can trade Griffin, there is no doubt that Porzingis will become a new star in New York! The fourth and fifth positions can be switched freely. Noah doesn't have to worry too much about his poor shooting sometimes! Compared with the combination of Rose and Noah, Rose and Griffin, many people are also looking forward to it!
I feel that some teams in the current NBA already have this idea, and it is estimated that there will be a lot of changes next season.
This season, he averaged 19.9 points, 8.3 rebounds and 5 assists per game! Fauvist power forward! The physical fitness is very good! And it's nice to know that he also has great athletic ability! But the last few years have not been very easy for him.
Consecutive regular season games with a good record! The Clippers, who led back-to-back Western Conference standings, stopped the playoffs. But now that he's decided to play for another year with the Clippers, he's ready now!
An injury to any of the Clippers' Big Three is a good thing for the rest of the team. For example, if Griffin is injured, Jordan Jr. will struggle on the defensive end! If Jordan Jr. is injured and can't play, the Clippers' rebounds will immediately give the opposing team a chance!
If Paul is injured and can't play, the team will have one less efficient playmaker! The overall operation of the team will change a lot! But now the team is figuring out how to solve this problem.
Redick, now the Clippers' point guard! So far this season, he has averaged 14.5 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game! Another Clippers veteran. What I'm good at is that my shooting accuracy is relatively high!
He's also the third-highest scoring player for the Clippers right now! With 28.1 minutes of playing time, the effectiveness is not low! Strong defensiveness! However, his height and vitality are on the weak side.
Redick on the field is an athlete who will shoot an arrow before you know it! This is the scariest thing about him!
The Clippers' style of play, now that the Big Three are healthy, the team's combat power will be at an average level! That is, the traditional powerhouse of the West! If the Nets want to win against them, they need to have a good performance in terms of lineup change and speed accuracy to have a chance to win the game.
