After the discussion, Griffin expressed his willingness to leave. He has signed a maximum salary, and he will not make more money if he stays, and it will be easy to get a ring at best. The most important thing is that Griffin is the second leader in the Clippers, which makes him very unhappy.

Griffin said the team he wants to go to - Miami Heat!

He's a big fan of going to the beach shirtless and sunbathing, and he goes to the beach every vacation, most often in Hawaii and Miami. Moreover, the biggest weakness of the Heat now is that they do not have a star in charge, and several trades have not been successful, Griffin is the boss when he goes, and no one fights with him.

The only thing he doesn't like is Heat president Pat Riley. The good news is that although Riley is very grumpy, he has only done management and will not interfere in the team's training, otherwise Griffin would not want to go.

It's just that he can't trade with the Heat alone, and he can't get back the person Yang Rui wants, so he can't exchange it for Tristan Thompson, right? That doesn't help the team except for making it easier for TT to fall in love with Khloe Kardashian.

Therefore, manager Olhi contacted the Wizards according to Yang Rui's request, hoping that they could join in and make a three-way trade.

Just curious to be dissatisfied with the team's forward, they took a fancy to the Clippers' "rich handsome" Chandler Parsons.

The Wizards often played the playmaking forward tactics last season, and the "alphabet brother" Antetokounmpo performed very badly, he can break through, can pass the ball, and can't shoot, resulting in the inability to open up space, and the opponent can shrink into the restricted area. Parsons would address that shortcoming, shooting three-pointers alongside Thompson and giving Wall more room to break through with the ball.

The Wizards are willing to send Antetokounmpo and interior core Nene Hilario, and the only obstacle to the trade is that the Wizards are worried that Parsons will not want to renew his contract next season, because he will not jump out of contract this season, and he will be a complete free agent next season.

The Clippers management communicated with Parsons again, and Parsons weighed the pros and cons and found that the Wizards lineup was not bad, and he could get more playing time and play better statistics when he joined, so he was willing to go to the Wizards and renew his contract in the coming year.

All three parties were satisfied, and the big deal was officially announced on July 1.

The Clippers got forward Antetokounmpo, inside the line; The Heat got Griffin; The Wizards got Parsons and Heat center Spencer Hawes, as well as a second-round pick.

For the Clippers, the interior is just a trade-in head. He averaged 29.5 minutes per game last season, 14.2 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.9 blocks, shooting 50.3% from the field.

Next season, Nene will earn $13 million a year, but thankfully, due to his injury concerns, the final year of the 15-16 season is a team option, and the Clippers have the option to cut him. Yang Rui just likes his expired contract, which is convenient to free up salary space to renew others.

The Clippers' real target was Brother Alphabet, who had a mess of stats last season, and he got his wish.

All the media is talking about the Clippers, superstars change teams are not common, but the Clippers have sent away stars for two consecutive years, Paul and Griffin are both people who have won the regular season MVP and FMVP majors, which is unbelievable.

Immediately, some Clippers fans expressed their dissatisfaction, believing that the Clippers' move was just to save money, and the strength of the two in exchange was far from being comparable to Griffin. Basketball experts are also curious, Yang Rui is not short of money, is he very optimistic about the young Antetokounmpo?

Many team managers beat their chests to express regret, knowing that Griffin was so easy to change, they talked to 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 and attract fans when he introduces the team, which has high commercial value, which is worthy of the top salary.

Of course, they certainly won't be able to exchange for Griffin.

Griffin was very happy in the interview, saying that this is the result of negotiations between the two parties, that the management respects his ideas, that he will not be angry about the trade, and that there is no conflict with his teammates. He just changed the environment to see if he could do better.

Yang Rui also posted a message on his Facebook page to bless Griffin and welcome the two new signings, a harmonious group.

The Clippers' new signings responded immediately, and they were even happier because people said that messing with Yang meant winning a championship.

On the 2nd, the Clippers sent short power forward Kenneth Farid to the Celtics in exchange for a protected first-round pick and a second-round pick.

Although Farid is not an All-Star, he is very efficient and can play when he plays, especially his ability to fight for frontcourt rebounds, averaging more than 3 frontcourt rebounds per game for three consecutive seasons. In the last playoffs, Farid averaged 8.2 points and 8.4 rebounds in 24 minutes per game, including 3.1 frontcourt rebounds.

Farid, known as the "half-orc", was still a top-10 protector two years before he got back a first-round pick, and many fans said they couldn't understand it and lost a lot.

In fact, it is normal that the Celtics are now a rebuilding team and are unwilling to send a high draft pick, while Farid is in a contract year and will fight for eight data next season, and it is not easy to find a team willing to renew Farid with a high salary.

The Green Army is definitely willing to renew Farid's contract, because the team currently has a high-paid player named Gerard Wallace, and if he doesn't sign a few people with a low salary next year, he may not even be able to meet the minimum wage.

The situation of the Clippers is even more embarrassing, it is not okay not to send away Farid, even if it is a loss, it must be sent, as long as it does not exchange the players back. Because the inside Clippers are really not short of people, and the players who come will not have a chance to perform, Farid is forced by Draymond Green and Brother Alphabet, and Nene can also play the No. 4 position, the offense is better, and he probably has to be a marginal man to stay.

Sending a team that lacks an inside line, Farid has the potential to play good stats, and it's a win-win.

On the 4th, Robert Thackeray and Wesley Johnson joined the Lakers with a base salary, and no other team is willing to offer a bigger contract, and they don't have to leave Los Angeles to go to the Lakers.

The Lakers signed them for the reason that they were cheap and functional, and the team lacked a meat shield and a swingman with good physical fitness.

The Lakers poached the Clippers for a small bit, and the former Lakers player signing by the Clippers made headlines. They agreed to a three-year, $22 million contract with Pau Gasol with a player option for the third year.

Speaking about the free agency decision at the end of last season, Gasol has repeatedly stressed that joining a team with championship quality is his first choice.

Gasol was so unlucky in this life that he was still empty-handed, never won a championship ring, and did not have a personal accolade. It is worth mentioning that the Lakers, the old club, very much wanted to keep Gasol, but they offered two contract packages, two years of $23 million and three years of $29 million, both were rejected.

Gasol didn't care about making that extra money, he just wanted a championship, and as soon as the Clippers sent out an invitation, he agreed to the conditions without much thought.

He played in 60 games for the Lakers last season, finishing with 17.4 points, 9.7 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 0.5 steals and 1.5 blocks in 32.5 minutes. He shot 45.3 percent from the field, 34.8 percent from three-point range and 77.6 percent from the free throw line.

Gasol and Yang Rui are still a little different in their previous lives, because of Yao Ming's success with the Lakers, many big men in the league are responsible for pulling out the perimeter to shoot three-pointers, and the middle is responsible for passing. Gasol began working on three-pointers during his time with the Grizzlies, averaging 1.2 three-pointers per game last season, which made his overall shooting percentage slightly lower, but the tactical effect was great.

Next season, the Clippers' offensive formation will definitely be more open.
