…I am contacting Brooklyn to discuss a trade for Kevin Durant, I am then getting in contact with Durant to make my pitch.
The Pitch
I would tell him that going to the Pelicans will not only bring him another championship, but change his NBA narrative and elevate him to another tier of legend.
If Durant wins a title in New Orleans, it would replicate what LeBron did winning in Cleveland, and perhaps make him the saviour of basketball in Louisiana.
I would say to trust me (Griffin), let me do my job and I will surround you with the best pieces to win, like I did for Cleveland and LeBron.
