Chapter 941 The youth storm that is about to sweep the alliance

The Clippers and Timberwolves initially negotiated a deal around Brand, but it has not been very smooth, because the Clippers have greater ambitions and they want to get Love.

But the Timberwolves were unwilling to send Love away, and even once regarded it as not for sale.

But with Love becoming more determined to leave the team and the Clippers getting more and more chips, the transactions between the two sides centering on Love have gradually become possible.

On the night of the draft, the deal between the two sides was finally reached.

The Los Angeles Clippers sent the 28th pick and two second-round picks, plus the 2011 first-round pick, and the 2012 second-round pick and first-round pick swap rights, plus Elton Brand And James Johnson and Steve Blake, in exchange for Kevin Love and Milicic of the Timberwolves.

The Clippers took out extremely sincere and generous chips, and finally brought Love from the cold Minnesota to sunny California.

Love's time in Minneapolis for the past two years is over.

In addition to George, who was previously selected with the eighth overall pick, the Clippers successfully completed the scheduled reinforcement plan on the night of the draft.

George and Love will be the best additions to the Clippers' No. [-] position and Harden's No. [-] position.

Coupled with Hill, Harden Harden and Jordan, the Clippers are about to blow a youthful storm that sweeps the league.

But what kind of results can such a lineup achieve in the end~? ! , It depends on Lan Shengli's training of the new lineup.

Although the draft is still in progress, the Clippers' draft is over.

They have no draft picks and no room for manipulation.

"Let me just say, I will definitely have the opportunity to bring you to the Clippers, I did it~!!"

Here, Lan Shengli had already left Madison Square Garden, and immediately called Love, talking.

"Haha, I definitely believe what Coach Blue said~!!, I really can't wait to join Coach Blue's team~!"

Le Fu responded with an excited tone.

"Me too, the feeling I have now is like going back to the UCLA time three years ago~!"

Lan Shengli said.

"Yeah, but this time maybe we won't be able to cooperate for only one year, at least two years, haha~!"

Love said with a smile.

"Not necessarily. If you don't perform well, don't make progress, and don't meet the expectations of the coaching staff and the team, maybe we will consider "returning the product"~!!, haha~!!"

Lan Shengli also said jokingly.

"Haha~, then it looks like I'm going to train as hard as I can this summer, haha~!!"

Love responded with a smile.

"Haha, of course, work hard~!"

Lan Shengli continued to respond.

Because Love is in Los Angeles, the Clippers took George directly back to Los Angeles from New York.

Two days after the draft, the Clippers held a new press conference for Love and George.

Because another new aid, Milicic, returned to his hometown of Serbia after the start of the offseason, so he was unable to come to Los Angeles to attend the press conference.

"Remember what I said to you during the joint trial training before~?!"

At the backstage of the press conference here, Lan Shengli met George and said.

"You said, I look forward to playing for my hometown team~, and it's not the Purple and Gold Army~"

George responded immediately.

"Haha, memory is good~!!, now that I have achieved this, it's up to you~!"

Lan Shengli responded with a smile.

"Look at me~?!, what are you looking at me~?!"

George frowned and asked.

"Everyone says that Los Angeles is the Lakers belonging to the purple and gold team, and the Clippers are redundant. Such remarks can only be proved by better results and more attractive styles of play, so can you It's up to you to make the Clippers and Lakers equal in LA~!"

Lan Shengli explained.

"Don't worry, since I'm back in my hometown, and since the Clippers have chosen me, I only have one goal, which is to help the Clippers win the championship and let everyone know that there are not only Zijin Lakers in Los Angeles, but also Red, White, and Blue Clippers~!!"

George said in a very firm and determined tone.

"Hmm~!!, the goal of each of us is like this~!!, come on~!"

Lan Shengli shook George's hand and nodded in response.

"Hello rookie, I have booked you to carry my bag for me next season, haha~!!"

This side is still in the background, Le Fu and George met, and after a simple handshake ceremony, Le Fu said with a smile.

"Haha, as a Clippers player, strictly speaking, you are also a rookie~!!, so I can't carry your bag for you~!!"

George also responded with a smile.

"Okay~, then I can only pray that the team can sign some undrafted picks, haha~!!"

"Haha~, I support this idea~!"

The two continued talking, laughing, and chatting.

If a young team wants to perform well, the young players must have cohesion and solidarity, or more generally, a good personal relationship, which is really important.

While speaking, the new aid conference has already begun.

Attending the meeting were the general manager of the Clippers, Lan Shengli, George and Love.

"We are very happy to announce to everyone who cares about the Clippers today that the team will introduce the first two new aids this summer~!! Paul George and Kevin Love~!!"

The general manager of the team said very excitedly.

"The ability that George showed in college, that kind of talent, that kind of ability that is different from ordinary people is very rare in this class of rookies. We are really happy to select George with the eighth overall pick. His long-term goal~!!, and Love is already a player who has proven himself in the NBA~!!, his team cohesion, his decision-making ability and professionalism are all recognized by the entire league, so Although we sent away the equally good Brand, Johnson and Blake, we are really excited about getting Love and Milicic who has championship experience~!!"

The general manager continued.

"Besides, these two young players are from Los Angeles. Our Clippers' ability to recruit players who have gone out of Los Angeles is also the goal of the team in recent seasons. We believe that these players who play for their hometown teams can Play even better~!!, and work hard for the rise of the hometown team~!!"

The general manager said, and the speech ended.

Lan Shengli shook his head, saying that he had nothing to say, so the next step was the questioning session.
