For teams in the league that have not seen any improvement for many years, they often have such a situation. On the one hand, there is no soul figure in their team who can provoke a heavy burden and perform bravely. On the other hand, they are unable to break the current situation due to various reasons. Some predicaments have been changed drastically.
For some teams with a younger age structure of players, they can formulate clear tactics to fully tap the potential of these young players, even if the young people in the team are not in line with expectations, their own potential transactions Value can also enable teams to get the players they need when they sell them.
Taking a step back, even if the team wants to completely break the existing framework, the salary of these players will not become a burden. However, this kind of break-through idea is not suitable for the current Detroit Pistons. On the one hand, the team's morale is low due to the continuous poor record, on the other hand, there are also many hidden dangers in the salary structure of the team, and the team’s All-Stars Forward Blake Griffin's expensive contract has become a thing that annoys the team's management.
Griffin's annual salary this season has reached a staggering 36.6 million U.S. dollars, which makes the Pistons management who is determined to have something to do with their brains. For one thing, Griffin is because of his agent and the team. The tug-of-war of future career planning makes it impossible to play. Moreover, even if the Pistons have the determination to break their wrists and want to sell off the leading forward, I am afraid that throughout the league, no one is willing to take over and make themselves a fool.
Griffin’s departure is obviously already on the Pistons’ agenda. According to the league’s news, the Pistons are seeking a deal to send Griffin away, and if the deal cannot be concluded, the Pistons will and this A veteran who has been selected to the All-Star six times to discuss a buyout.
It’s no wonder that the Pistons are so eager to make changes. So far this season, the Pistons have only ranked second in the Western Conference with a winning percentage of less than 30%. The not-so-bad ranking is even more desperate. In a state of turmoil, apart from the newcomer Sadiq Bay, who was just elected as the best of the week, the team has no bright spots at all.
And Griffin’s status is also declining,The season-long Regal 12.3 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.9 assists are almost at the lowest level of his career. The continuous injuries over the past few years have crushed his knees and at the same time have made him psychologically riddled. In addition, not long ago. The departure of another former genius, Derek Rose, made Griffin lose a brother who reported to the group to keep him warm, and at the same time, he also had an indescribable "Sorrow of the Fox and Rabbit."
It is obviously not fair enough to give Griffin the current difficulties of the Pistons. In fact, Griffin definitely wants to help the team recover during the past few years of the Pistons. For the iron and blood and glory of the Five Tigers period, he was even willing to pay the price of career reimbursement, but fate did not give him such a chance.
In the middle of the 2017-2018 season, the Clippers sent Griffin, a power forward that had been trained for many years, to the Detroit Pistons. Although the Clippers' such big moves are shocking, they are reasonable. Although the team is already a powerful Western player , But it has gradually consumed the patience of the management before the threshold of the Western Conference Finals. Paul's departure during the offseason has clearly announced the disintegration of the air-receiving team, and Griffin's departure is only a matter of time.
Strangely, it is the Pistons. Although years of mediocrity have objectively promoted changes in the team, it is not necessarily a wise move to invite Griffin, not to mention Griffin since 2015 There is a hidden danger of injury, even Griffin, who is 100% healthy, also lacks the experience of being the first core. It is well known that Chris Paul is the helm of the Clippers in the era of air-to-air city.
Griffin, who came to the Pistons for the first time, must be thinking of something. On the one hand, this is the first time in his career that he leads the team as the team’s core identity. Finn's career is definitely a very important weight.
Another reason is out of a personal emotional vent. Griffin deliberately became the new king of the Clippers after Paul left, but he is no longer in the future plans of the boss Ballmer, and in Griffin had just signed a five-year new contract with the team a few months before the deal, but it was not until the two parties had negotiated that Griffin had just received the information that he was traded.The taste can be imagined.
It’s no wonder that in a game between the Clippers and the Pistons after the trade, Clippers owner Ballmer wanted to greet Griffin, who had finished training, before the game, but Griffin didn’t do anything. Back to the ground trot back to the locker room, at this moment Ballmer of the rich side looked particularly embarrassed. Perhaps it was the resentment of being abandoned and the desire to revitalize the Pistons to give Griffin a strong motivation.
In the 2018-2019 season, Griffin was fully fired and played in 75 games, averaging 24.5 points, 7.5 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game, which made people exclaim that the former "Gilifen" was second in his career. In the spring, at the end of the regular season, he was also selected to the best three teams, and he dragged the Pistons into the playoffs despite being injured late in the season.
This year’s playoffs can be described as tragic for Griffin. In the first two games he failed to play due to injury and the team lost consecutive games, Griffin was three or four in the series. The field resolutely returned, but it is a pity that his return failed to reverse the defeat while also making his injury worse. In the following season, Griffin, who played 18 times, was no different from being reimbursed.
This may be the epitome of Griffin's career grief. Griffin, who entered the NBA as the No. 1 pick in 2009, was reimbursed for the season due to a stress fracture in his leg before he played a game in his career. In the second season, although he quickly staged a "Return of the King" drama and won the belated "Best Rookie" award, his previous injury or retirement still buried hidden dangers for his future.
Griffin at the beginning of his career is famous for his amazing bounce and snap shots. Many well-known inside players have used his snap shots as the background board, but at that time, Griffin was also rough because of the scenery. The technology and the lack of front sight in the long-range projection were criticized. I have to admit that Griffin is a genius in basketball. After his career style has gradually formed, he has honed his superb passing and shooting skills in the team.
If we look back at the original Clippers game, we will find that in the early stage, the team often passed the ball by Paul and Jordan and Griffin played the final finishers.In the later stage, Griffin has often become the initiator of some wonderful aerial shots.
However, it’s a pity that Griffin’s physical peak and technical peak did not seem to appear at the same time. Although Griffin has become a panacea for the team after that, the unexpected injuries were disrupted. His plan. From the current situation, Griffin may not stay in the Pistons anymore, but the contribution he has brought to the team and the shock to the fans are wonderful and profound.
