Those who like and support the Los Angeles Clippers, don’t sleep, get up! Because when you wake up, you will be surprised to find that the Los Angeles Clippers suddenly have another championship team with the Big Three! From now on, your team not only has James Harden and Kawai Leonard, but also has three-time All-Star Bradley Bill who will join. He is the most perfect filler after Powell left the team.

According to Shars Charania, a well-known ESPN reporter, Bill's agent Mark Bartelstein revealed that his client Bradley Bill has finalized a buyout agreement with the Phoenix Suns and will join the Los Angeles Clippers after spending a 48-hour clarification period. Shams said Bradley Bill and the Los Angeles Clippers reached a two-year $11 million franchise contract, with the second year of the contract including player options. NBA salary expert Keith Smith revealed that the Los Angeles Clippers will use the remaining part of the full middle-class special case to sign Bradley Bill, with the specific details of his two-year 11 million contract: $5.334 million in the 2025-26 season; $5.6217 million in the 2026-27 season.

It is reported that Bradley Bill voluntarily gave up his salary of $13.8 million in the remaining two years of $110.8 million contract during the buyout process with the Suns. Because only he gave up $13.8 million can the Sun use the extended clause to cut it off, and the Sun will pay Bill the remaining contract amount in five years. After the Suns bought out Bradley Bill through extended terms, this will allow them to successfully avoid luxury taxes and limit their salaries below the tycoon line. In the future, they can save money by trading draft picks, which gives the Suns a flexibility in lineup allocation.

It is reported that the reason why Bradley Beal chose to join the Los Angeles Clippers after reaching a buyout with the Phoenix Suns is the most direct relationship with Harden, because James Harden played a key role in the recruitment process! It should be noted that several teams including the Miami Heat, the Milwaukee Bucks, the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Los Angeles Lakers have been having in-depth conversations with Bill and his agent Bartelstein in recent weeks. They all wanted to sign Bill after he reached a buyout, but in the end the Clippers stood out in this battle to successfully bring Bill to Los Angeles!

With Bill joining soon, the Clippers will also form a new three giants of Ka + Harden + Bill. In the new season, they will once again launch the most violent impact and challenge the championship! It is particularly worth mentioning that after Bradley Bill joined, the Clippers can still sign another person with a basic salary contract, and Chris Paul, who had previously had an affair with the Clippers, may be on the way! There is no doubt that the Clippers' lineup in the new season will be very competitive. The defenders include: Harden, Bill, Chris Dunn, Bogdan, Cameron Christie, Kobe Sanders (two-way); the forwards include: Leonard, Batum, Jones Jr., Baldwin (two-way), Kobe Brown, Flowers (two-way); the centers include: Zubac, Collins, Lopez, and Needhauser.

There is no doubt that the Los Angeles Clippers are the big winners of Bill's buyout, because they recruited the three-time All-Star guard to his own with just a two-year, 11 million contract! Bill, who earns an annual salary of 50 million, may be disgusted, but Bill who earns an annual salary of 555 is definitely very fragrant! In contrast, in order to get Bradley Bill, they gave Chris Paul + 4 first round swaps + 5 round picks + No. 7 picks for the first round. But the final result of 11 for 1 was Bill’s contract buyout, and they undoubtedly lost completely! But no matter what, now everything will be the past.

Congratulations to the Clippers for successfully introducing Bradley Bill. I hope that the new three giants composed of Ka Little Card + Harden + Bill can defeat all the parties in the new season and bring back a championship trophy to Los Angeles in June next year! Come on, the Big Three of the Clippers!
