Chapter 704

Granger's face was very dull.

"Coach, I really don't want to leave the pirates, or you can think about it again..."

If the scene in front of me is known by other teams, I'm afraid I can spit three more liters of blood.

Other teams are asking grandpa to tell Grandma that they want to keep young stars like Granger, and even offer some "humiliating" conditions.

But it's better to go to the pirate team. On the contrary, it's young stars like Granger who beg to stay in the team, even if they want to reduce their salary, so as to get the chance to stay in the team.

"Besides, after leaving the pirate team, I really don't know which team to join. I have a serious selection problem..." Granger said painfully.

"Go to the trailblazers. It's a good choice. They can give you a top salary, and they're good at it." Richard timely recommended Granger to join the Blazers.

Granger was shocked. He didn't expect Richard to recommend himself to the trailblazers, because trailblazers are not a good choice.

First of all, there is a position conflict between Durant and Granger in the trailblazer team. Although the two players can play in the positions of small forward and point guard respectively, the data of the two players will surely decline at that time, and the matching effect will not be ideal.

Secondly, at present, the news of the alliance that the trailblazers want to trade xiao'ao is widely spread, and Granger is also very clear.

Without xiao'ao, the Blazers will be able to swallow their contracts next season, but Granger is not particularly eager for money.

Without xiao'ao, the strength of the pioneers will decline again. Even if Granger wants to leave the pirate team, he will surely want to join a strong team.

So in any case, joining the Blazers is not a good choice. Although the Blazers can give the top salary, other teams can also give it.

For their own strength, Granger still has sufficient confidence.

As a matter of fact, there are several teams that have contacted Granger in private because the pirates haven't heard that they want to renew their contract with Granger.

These teams can not only promise Granger a top salary contract, but also a series of other guarantees.

However, Granger refused all of them. At least before winning the championship this season, even if Richard told his team today not to renew his contract, he would not consider leaving the team.

This is what a professional player should have

……

Looking at Granger's face, Richard couldn't help explaining.

"Danny, what I'm going to tell you is confidential. Only two or three people in the League know about it."

"At the end of the season, Greg and Durant will be swapping. You know what I mean

"Besides, you should also know the relationship between me and the trailblazers. After you go to the trailblazers, you don't have to worry so much. To put it mildly, if Macmillan dares to treat you badly, I can get him out of Portland that night."

Granger was stunned and murmured, "Greg? Our Oden?! "

Richard nodded and confirmed Granger's idea.

Crazy, crazy!

Granger's whole body is dead. He didn't expect Richard to be so crazy that he even sold Oden!

That's Oden, the super center called O'Neill's successor!

Now Richard wants to sell him. Granger doesn't know what Richard is thinking

Durant in Granger's view is good, but it is just good, even now Durant's strength is not as good as his own, how to compare with Oden!

When Richard saw Granger's surprise, he also smiled bitterly. He didn't want to sell Oden himself, but the old man played tricks on him.

……

"I know you don't want to play in a strange environment, but now Greg will also go to the trailblazers, you won't feel strange there."

"The core players over there are all the West Lafayette players, all of them are their own people."

"The key is that the strength of the Blazers will start to take off when you and Oden join, and will become a team that is qualified to compete with the Spurs and the Lakers in the West!" Said Richard with a smile.

Granger's face also showed a smile and a long sigh of relief after a pause. From Richard's description, it seems that the franchisee is a good choice.

Of course, if he could stay in the pirate team, Granger would still prefer the pirate team, even if his salary was reduced.

"Go back and train well. In the finals of this season, try to get a fmvp and leave the pirates in a beautiful way." Richard continued with a smile.

Granger nodded solemnly. Now that he was doomed to stay at the pirates, he also wanted to leave the pirates in the wind and light.

After all, fmvp is a rare opportunity. After joining the pioneer, although the strength of the pioneer is not weak, who knows how many years it will take to see the hope of winning the championship.Maybe I won't get a chance to win the championship in my life. It's not impossible.

……

Richard was relieved after Granger left.

I'm also worthy of Paul Allen. I've done all the help I need. I can't say it's a help. After all, it's my family.

……

With the deepening of the competition schedule, the pirate team has remained invincible so far. Sometimes, the fierce fighting force has not yet started the competition, which makes the opponent lose the fighting spirit.

On March 27, the pirates went to Los Angeles to play away, not against the Lakers, but against the city's clippers.

After seeing Richard, Stevens was also full of sobs.

In a blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed. At the beginning, Richard and I entered the League at the same time, but only as a teaching assistant.

In more than ten years, Stevens's coaching experience can't be said to be successful. After taking charge of the clippers, although he let the Clippers enter the playoffs, they are all just playoff threshold level teams, and they can't make a difference in the playoffs at all.

Once upon a time, Stevens, who just joined the clippers, thought that he would one day become such a great coach as Richard.

I have been with Richard for many years and learned a lot. It may not take me long to build the clipper into a super power in the West.

But the reality is to pour cold water on Stevens.

And now Stevens is facing not only doubts about his coaching level, but also despair of the Clippers team.

He has been in charge of the Clippers for many years and found that there are many problems in this team.

In particular, owner Stirling has the biggest problem.

Because Stevens is also a white man, sometimes when sterling and Stevens talk alone, they don't have too much scruples, and sometimes they show discrimination against black people.

Sterling not only discriminates against black people, but also all people of color. Of course, homosexuality is also the object of his discrimination

That explains why Sterling hates Magic Johnson so much.

……

Stevens can't tell Richard about this kind of thing, because Richard is also of color. Based on his understanding of Richard, if Richard knew about it, he might take someone to catch Sterling tonight.

The first five of the Clippers are all black players. There are 12 black players in the 14 players

As a boss, sterling is different from Richard and Cuban, who treat players as brothers. He seldom meets with players, even if they meet, they are all condescending.

He thinks of the players as his employees, and of course that's true.

Players with the boss's money, playing for the team, in essence, is the hire.

But if the boss treats the players with the attitude of employees, how can the players try their best? After all, no matter whether they win or not, they are all paid so much.

Stevens now realizes that the clippers have always been such a fish belly, the owner of sterling is to blame, he did not know to respect the players.

But even if he realizes this, what can he do? He can only rot in his stomach and look at it step by step.
