Jerry West: Clippers Were Really Stuck Before Blake Griffin Trade
The Los Angeles Clippers made the difficult but likely prudent decision to
trade Blake Griffin just a few months into his new five-year, $171 million
contract.
“Don’t be afraid to make that tough decision if you need to,” Steve
Ballmer recalled West telling him.
“No one wants to do that, particularly with someone like Blake Griffin,”
West says now. “It was very difficult for everyone, especially Steve,
because he really liked Blake personally. But this franchise was really
stuck. There was nowhere for it to go. You have to figure out how far away
you really are and how we can get there.”
快艇队在去年夏天用五年1亿7100万美金的价码留下 Blake Griffin
结果后来却选择在球季中把他交易到东区的活塞队
总管 Jerry West 近期接受纽约时报专访时
谈到此事也强调没有人会想要这么做，对于每个人都是个困难的决定，特别是老板 Steve
但是当时球队已经陷入困境当中，必须想办法处理
短评或心得：
而活塞队尽管获得Griffin的加入，但最后仍未抢进季后赛的席位。
