On July 2, according to famous reporter Shams, the Los Angeles Clippers, who own Kawhi Leonard, successfully renewed their contracts with All-Star guards James Harden and Batum, used another 2-year, $18 million to introduce champion center Brooke Lopez to serve as Zubac's substitute. President Frank did not stop and strengthened his steps and continued to find better partners for the two superstars. It should be emphasized that the first player who was laid off in the Los Angeles Clippers was born, and this person was Eubanks. The contract with the Clippers was only 1 year and 4.75 million US dollars, without any guarantee. After the latter spent the 48-hour clarification period, he joined the Sacramento Kings and joined forces with Laven, Schroeder and DeRozan.

Eubanks, who played for the Los Angeles Clippers last season, played in 61 regular season games, averaged 4.6 points, 3.7 rebounds, 0.9 assists per game, and played 3 games in the playoffs, averaging 1.3 points, 0.3 rebounds and 0 assists per game. His role on the court is almost optional. The arrival of Lopez is to replace the former. Currently, President Frank still has $5.3 million in his hands, which is less than the triggered No. 1 richest line. If you cut off Eubanks, you can get an additional $4.8 million in salary, which adds up to $10.1 million. The opportunity to introduce Chris Paul is here, and the light bulb combination joins forces again, which is not a problem.

It is worth mentioning that Paul George, who was a former teammate and James' rival, supported Harden in an interview, said. If Harden meets an opponent, he will build the team in this way in recent seasons. As long as he handes the ball to the former, he can create all opportunities. He just met a super team, facing Durant, Curry, Thompson, and Green, four future Hall of Fame players. If he played in this way, if he was young Harden, Alexander, Trae Young, and Doncic, it would be impossible to defeat the latter. Harden, who plays for the Clippers, played in seven playoffs and averaged 18.7 points, 5.4 rebounds and 9.1 assists per game. Without Leonard, he became the most reliable thigh.

Now with the birth of the Los Angeles Clippers' first player being sacked, the expected thing is Eubanks. His career here is over. Whether in the regular season or the playoffs, his contribution and help are limited. Giving up the former will increase the salary space of $4.8 million to help Frank introduce other role players to join. This is a matter of more benefits than disadvantages. It should be noted that Paul George strongly supports Harden's ability and believes that according to his current team building and playing style, he has no chance to meet the young latter, Alexander, Halliburton, and Lillard, and he has no chance to cross him. It's a pity that he met the super team and the Warriors of the Big Four at his peak, perhaps this is his life.
