Clippers News: The 4-for-1 plan is released, Xiao Ka becomes the second person in history, Paul is expected to return

4-for-1 plan has been released

Recently, the scandal between the Clippers and Hornets star Lamelo Ball has been rumored. First, Lamelo Ball's older brother, Ronzo Ball, said that the Hornets will choose a defender in this year's draft and then trade Lamelo to the Clippers. Yesterday, Lamelo Ball even canceled the attention of the Hornets on social media. Today, the US media gave a trading plan, specifically providing the Clippers with Powell, Bogdanovic, Chris Dunn and Ball in the first round of the 31st year.

For the Clippers, although this plan cost them a lot of money, it is still worth the rewards they get. On the one hand, Ball's arrival has made the team form a Big Three, which can not only share the scoring pressure of Harden and Xiaoka, but also ensure that the team's first and second lineups are connected to the team. On the other hand, Ball's gorgeous style and a large fan base, he can bring more ticket revenue and off-field economic benefits to the Clippers, and for a long time he has become the Clippers' signature figure. Of course, Ball's fragile body and the fact that he has developed some bad habits in playing in bad teams all year round are also the risks of this deal.

For the Hornets, Powell's arrival has filled the score gap when Ball left the team to a certain extent, and he can also play without the ball, which is more suitable for the team's future development; Bogdanovic and Dunn are experienced and have their own characteristics, one is good at offense and the other is specialized in defense, and they can improve the depth of the Hornets' rotation lineup; there is no need to say too much about a first-round pick, it is good to use it for yourself or use it for bundling transactions. Overall, this is a solution that everyone needs to choose, and see if it can eventually become a reality.

Xiao Ka has become the second person in history

Today, the Clippers officially updated social media, congratulating the team forward Kawhi Leonard on becoming the second in history to have averaged at least 20 points, 5 rebounds and 1 steal per game for three consecutive seasons and shooting no less than 40% of the three-point shooting percentage. The last one to achieve this feat was legendary Larry Bird. This season, Leonard only played 37 regular season games due to knee surgery, averaging 31.9 minutes per game, scoring 21.5 points, 5.9 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.6 steals, with three shooting percentages of 49.8%, 41.1% and 81%.

It seems that it is not difficult to look at each data of this achievement alone. After all, it is not the top in the league, but it is very difficult to combine. First, players need to have stable scoring ability; second, players need to have extraordinary talent in steals on the defensive end; finally, players need to have sufficient excellent shooting ability. It can be said that it is quite commendable to achieve this feat, which also proves that the healthy Leonard is one of the most stable and excellent players in the league's offense and defense.

Paul is expected to return

Today, according to famous reporter Marc Stein, veteran Chris Paul will not return to the Spurs, and he will find a new boss in the offseason. Later, the American bookmakers opened the odds list of Paul's next group, and the results showed that the Mavericks, who urgently needed to strengthen the backcourt, ranked first, and the Lakers followed closely behind. The specific top five rankings are: 1. Mavericks: -120 (bet 120 if you win 220), 2. Lakers: +300 (bet 100 if you win 400, the same below), 3. Clippers: +375, 4. Cavaliers: +575, 5. Grizzlies: +900.

The author believes that although Paul ranks third in odds for joining the Clippers, he is likely to return. First of all, Paul has very good memories in the Clippers, and no one will refuse to return to the place where he shines. Secondly, many of Paul's business partners and relatives and friends settle in Los Angeles; finally, the Clippers have good competitiveness in winning the championship and can meet Paul's playing time requirements and team status. Of course, the Clippers also have disadvantages, such as being able to provide salary is likely to be at the basic salary level, and not having Paul's close friends like Lakers James. It is worth looking forward to who will eventually lead to Paul's fortune.
