Give up being the second leader for letters! A salary of 50 million is 5 million. If you become the fourth leader, the Clippers will make a big profit

August 10, there is very little news from the league today. In this period, we can talk about the strengthening of some teams in the offseason. In this summer, many teams in the league rely on excellent operations and have reached the level of championship competition. For example, the Clippers, Nuggets, Rockets, plus the Thunder, Cavaliers and Knicks, the championship competition in the new season may be more intense, but in comparison, the West is obviously more intense than the East, after all, the East is only the only one of the two.

The Thunder are the defending champions on the Western Conference. Their three young men will increase the ball in the new season. Even if they have not strengthened, he retained the core lineup. Their lineup has proved that they can succeed, so they are the biggest obstacle for all teams to win the championship. The Nuggets have introduced Cameron Johnson, Valanciunas, Bruce Brown and Hardaway. The team not only reduces spending, but also increases the lineup thickness. They will be very competitive under the leadership of Jokic.
The Rockets retained their core lineup during the offseason, and traded Jaylen Green and Dillon for Durant, strengthening the team's offensive stability, and at the same time, they introduced Finney Smith to replace Dillon to leave the team. Under such circumstances, the Rockets are also optimistic that they can win the championship. After all, the talent of this team is not worse than that of the Thunder, and now there are top stars to drive the team. The Clippers are the most perfect team I think in strengthening this offseason.

Although after they formed their current lineup, many fans questioned that they were too old. After all, the average age is 33.2 years old, the oldest in history, but this team has made up for all their shortcomings as much as possible, which makes people see the operational ability of their management. Even if they fail to win the championship in the end, it is estimated that the Clippers will pay a lot of attention to it next season, after all, it is the youth of some fans.
In the offseason, Harden chose to cut his salary and renew his contract, and Harden's salary cut also helped the team win Lopez and Bill. Among them, Bill's joining Harden personally recruited. In order to make Bill willing to join, Harden even staged a scene of recruiting Bill's general manager. He told Bill and his agent how Powell played at the peak of his career by his side. He wanted to tell Bill that you can do this with me, and this also touched Bill.

You should know that after Bill was bought out by the Suns, he received a lot of attention from the team. When he had an annual salary of 50 million, everyone thought it was expensive, but now it is not more than 7 million. A former All-Star, and even now he still has the ability to peak. In this case, he has changed from a premium player to a great value. Therefore, according to the US media at that time, there were nearly 20 teams in the league who wanted to get him, among which the Bucks were the most active. They directly stated that the team was the second core in addition to the letters.
Under the temptation of the second in command, I thought Bill would be moved. After all, having enough ball rights can prove himself, and playing around the letters can also get more attention. However, Bill was eventually convinced by Harden to join the Clippers with a two-year, 12 million contract, with an annual salary of 5.35 million in the first year. Bill made a sacrifice when he came here. After all, he may just be the choice of the third or fourth in command of the team. This team includes Harden, Leonard and Zubac, but he still chose this place.

In the offseason, many teams signed buyout players, such as the Trail Blazers who won Lillard, the Lakers who got Ayton and Smart, but to say the best signing this summer, I think the Clippers who won Bills. In addition to getting Daluo and Bill, the team also won Collins. Before getting Bill, they traded Powell for a real No. 4 position. Collins also gave the Clippers more choices in the inside combination, and Bill's arrival made up for Powell's departure.
Another operation is to win the old cannon. Paul came to the Clippers in the last season of his career. He gave up the starting position he wanted and was willing to assist Harden. This is what the Clippers need. They need a qualified substitute point guard. Last season, the team's substitutes were often chaotic and had no rhythm. Now with the arrival of Paul, Harden can also get more rest time.

The Clippers' lineup thickness in the new season is very terrible. They have the ability to rotate 11 people. Under such circumstances, even if Leonard is in the regular season, they are probably able to make it into the playoffs. In the playoffs, who dares to say that they will win the Clippers? Although they were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs last season, they lost to the Nuggets in the first round of the tiebreak, while the Nuggets lost to the Thunder in the tiebreak. In fact, the Clippers last season were not very big from the championship, and now they are closer to strengthening.
As long as the Clippers can stay healthy in the new season, they have a good chance of winning the championship. Having said that, what do you want to say about the Clippers now? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
