Hello friends who follow the NBA! Since the start of the negotiation period between free agents and their teams in the last two weeks, the Warriors have barely communicated with Klay, and the Warriors have not made any offers for Klay. The Warriors' behavior chilled Klay, who felt that the Warriors' attitude towards him had not been sincere enough, so Klay was determined to find another team. However, the Warriors are willing to participate in Klay's sign-and-trade trade to help him get a bigger potential contract. Let's take a look at the morning news.

11. Little Jordan talks about Griffin
Nuggets center DeAndre Jordan talked about his former partner Griffin on the show, saying:
Griffin is one of the best players in the league and I feel like he's being looked down upon and he's not getting the credit he deserves. Throughout his career, Griffin's ability to adapt to the game has been phenomenal. When he first entered the league, Griffin was a slam dunk master who dominated the highlights, and he was also a playmaker.
If he were in his prime, he could have earned $500 million in his career. He's that kind of player, brother. I think if he still wants to fight, he probably still does. His work ethic is one of the strictest I've ever seen in my basketball career.
