There is a chance that the upper limit will exceed that of Paul George, even if Paul George achieved 20+5+5 with the Hornets last season.

Previously, the big deal between the Clippers and the Hornets was called a loss by critics.

Now, with Nash winning the championship with the Clippers and the Hornets getting the No. 1 pick, everyone is saying the Clippers are making a lot of money.

Many people even said there that you should never make a deal with the Clippers. They are devils and they are sure to make a profit without losing anything.

Regarding this alarmist voice, the Mavericks and Bobcats did not stop. They are still scanning the draft market, hoping to get draft picks that satisfy Li Zhen.

After all, the potential superstars the Clippers have in their hands are so good.

If the previous changes were not enough to make Li Zhen depressed, the next phone call he received made him feel a little bit off guard.

Eddie Griffin chose to leave.

No, it should be said that he chose to leave basketball and pursue an artistic path.

He sincerely told Li Zhen on the phone: "Bruce, actually I lost my love for basketball a year ago. I am very grateful to you for saving me from despair and allowing me to gain honor, respect and wealth.

But now, I want to take a path that I really love, and I want to be a classical artist."

Forehead….

Li Zhen was stunned on the spot.

He didn't know what Eddie Griffin was thinking.

Eddie Griffin is the person closest to him in the NBA. They have been good friends since he first came to the Lakers to play in the summer league, and they have continued to this day.

Li Zhen originally thought that they would continue to cooperate. Li Zhen even thought in his mind that if Eddie Griffin was willing, the Clippers could provide him with a salary until he could no longer run on the court.

However, Eddie Griffin personally ended his career before he reached the age of 33.

He told Li Zhen that he was not short of money. After investing with Li Zhen for so many years, he had earned more money than most NBA players. And he asked Li Zhen to rest assured that he did not have to worry about his livelihood for the rest of his life. He now has no regard for material things.

His needs are not high. Now he just wants to pursue the path of art and spiritual needs.

What else can Li Zhen say?

Wish him all the best.

I hope everything goes well for him in Germany. I hope classical music can accept him as a layman.

The departure of Eddie Griffin made Li Zhen feel emotional.

…

The 2012 draft was indeed lackluster. Li Zhen glanced at the list and even stopped the Mavericks and Bobcats' plans to search for rookie picks.

Although in this list, he saw a few names that looked 'familiar' to him.

However, none of them are very suitable for the Clippers.

Therefore, he simply ignored everything and let the general manager handle the three draft picks he had hoarded this season.

There is no point in opening the Heavenly Eye if you open it too much. It is better to open it blindly.

The day of the draft is coming soon.

During this period, Li Zhen was tortured by the women in Los Angeles. On the weekend before the draft, he was finally allowed to travel to New York on business. When he arrived in New York, he did not stop his own work. After all, Sharapova and Ji

Selko has been stationed in New York.

These past few days have been day and night, and I have been working hard to make up for it.

When Li Chen appeared at Madison Garden, the fans in New York did not boo him, but greeted him with applause and cheers.

This surprised Li Zhen.

"Maybe they no longer regard the Clippers as their opponent."

Kevin Garnett's mouth is very direct, as if he has wiped it with shi.

He has bought out his contract with the Celtics, and everyone knows that he will join the Clippers as a free agent. The Clippers have already fired him from his three-year, $10 million contract.

There is also his former teammate Ray Allen. Ray Allen is higher, with 8 million US dollars in 2 years.

After all, shooters are popular.

Garnett doesn't have any objections to this. He has given up making money a long time ago. The money he makes from the NBA is almost as much as Eddie Griffin makes from investing with the Blues.

One can imagine what an astonishingly rich man Eddie Griffin is now.

No wonder he is no longer greedy for material things and now pursues classical music.

People, when you have more money, it is easy to engage in spiritual pursuits.

But isn’t this pursuit all bullshit?

"Do you think you are weaker than the stars who left?" Li Zhen asked Garnett.

Of course, Garnett denied it. He said that he is still very powerful and is still the top center in the league.

Center?

Li Zhen remembers it. Let Garnett play center next season.

We can only let Garnett play center. After all... Anthony Davis and Nowitzki are not serious center talents. Milicic probably can't be retained. He has reached the contract year, and with his current net worth,

The Clippers won't be able to keep him unless they pay tens of millions of dollars in annual salary.

In fact, the Chicago Bulls have been hooking up with him.

The Chicago Bulls have been active recently. After losing to the Knicks in the Eastern Conference finals last season, they began a league-wide hunting plan.

According to inside information from the media, Brandon Roy has decided to join the Bulls.

This made Li Zhen particularly excited. Roy and Rose are both the types of players Li Zhen likes, and the careers of these two people have changed because of him. If they really join forces and perfectly integrate into Thibodeau

Tactical system. The New York Knicks' life in the Eastern Conference was not so easy.

Thinking of this, Li Zhen even thought about sending Milicic to the Bulls. The Bulls also hoarded some swingmen.

Moreover, products produced by Thibodeau must be durable.

…

With the whole world knowing, the Los Angeles Clippers selected Anthony Davis with the No. 1 pick they obtained from the Hornets.

This thing really... doesn't come as a surprise at all.

The Clippers store even couldn't wait to put Anthony Davis' No. 23 jersey yesterday.

Immediately afterwards, the Clippers used their first-round pick No. 22 to select Jae Crowder from Marquette University. This was a candidate recommended by Jimmy Butler because they are alumni. Jimmy Butler claimed that Jae Crowder

Louder is a top 3-and-D player, and the Clippers listened.

I haven't even finished reading Claude's information.

There is no way, the tone of this draft has been set, the emphasis is on participation.

After all, they all won the top prize. The rest is up to you.

Then he picked a Nigerian center and Khris Middleton of Texas A&M University.

Finally completed this mission.

Immediately afterwards, the Clippers' transaction seemed to trigger a shock bomb.

First of all, guard Gordon Hayward, who has superstar potential, was sent to the Charlotte Bobcats. The Bobcats paid cash plus a 2013 first-round pick and a 2014 second-round pick.

This cash refers to... the first year's annual salary of Gordon Hayward's first contract after his rookie contract expires. At that time, the league will pay the remainder to the Clippers after taking a cut.

The Clippers traded Gordon Hayward for a training fee of at least tens of millions of dollars, and also received an unprotected first-round pick in 2013, and the second-round pick in 2014 was regarded as a tie-in.

Then, the Clippers sent Blake Griffin to the Dallas Mavericks, who paid cash and a 2015 first-round pick.

Trading patterns refer to Gordon Hayward.

It is also a transaction in which a potential superstar is exchanged for training fees.

However, the next step was that DeAndre Jordan's trade was stopped by Lao Li. Because... the Chicago Bulls made a better offer, and the Miami Heat were also competing.

They crossed paths and even disrupted Li Zhen's plan.

However, these two families are really willing to give capital!
Chapter completed!
