But at that time, Calvin stayed in Portland. He wanted to stay with Ah Gan and win more championships.
As the dream of winning the championship was fulfilled and with age catching up, the Heat offered Calvin terms he couldn't refuse.
Riley invited Calvin to the Heat to serve as a sports coach and become part of the management team.
This position was higher than his at the Trail Blazers, offered a better salary, and greater development opportunities.
Hearing Gan Guoyang so angry, Calvin laughed, "Don't be like this, Sonny. If you ruin Riley, no one will pay me. It's about changing jobs; the Trail Blazers will find a better and younger trainer."
Gan Guoyang still tried to persuade him, saying, "There's no one more suitable than you. You should talk to me so we can go find Old Tang together."
