Secretly defeating Bill, the Clippers become the invisible king of offseason again

The Clippers have been the most disappointing team in the league for a while. Every time I see their offseason operations, people often think it is the finale of the league in the new season. But the end result was disappointing.

This year's offseason, the Clippers are no longer the protagonist of the past. His few moves still kept them competitive in the inclined West. Even the combat power has increased. So let's take a look at the Clippers' operations this summer

1. The Clippers renewed their contract with James Harden for 81.5 million in two years, and you don't care whether Harden is too upset at critical moments, but he still proved himself most of the regular season. Although he is no longer at the peak, he is still an All-Star player in this league. With a two-year contract renewal, the team will continue to be built around Harden and Leonard. The Clippers' record next season will definitely be the same.

2. The renewal of Batum and the signing of Big Lopez

2, the renewal of Batum for 11.5 million in two years has given the team's rotation lineup more stability. A three-pointer without sinking the ball with one hand is worth 10 million.

Signing a contract with Daluo for 18 million in 2018 is a substantial reinforcement. Although Daluo's form declined severely last season. The defense of the past was no longer stable, but the lean camel was bigger than a horse, and this was Daluo. There is a player with such a defensive level on the bench. What other bike do you want?

3.Trading Powell gets John Collins

Clippers trade Powell. But when you think about it carefully, it is understandable. First of all, his contract is about to expire, and the next contract is about to exceed 30 million. This will inevitably put a lot of pressure on the Clippers. In this case, it is actually a high-level sell.

By getting a younger John Collins, it looks a bit of a loss at first glance. But the Clippers finally got a real number four. This is where it really lies. Of course, some people will say that Powell's excellence will cause problems in the Clippers' offense. Don't worry, the next player is coming soon.

4.2 years, 11 million Bill signed with Bill

, 11 million Bill {2 years, 11 million Bill was too good. I never doubt Bill's scoring ability, although he is also suspected of being a scoring one. As long as he can stay healthy, he will not lack the opportunity to open three-pointers by Harden. As long as he can grasp it, he is one of the best scorers in the league. At least he will be better than Powell.

several operations have given the Clippers more combat power. But this is not over yet because they still have a veteran base salary.

According to the US media, Chris Paul intends to return to the Clippers to complete his last season. If the news is true, the Clippers' lineup will be even sharper.

It is also shameful to say that Paul George's departure made the Clippers fall into a slump, but unexpectedly, in just one season, the Clippers formed a better lineup. The offseason championship is truly worthy of its reputation.
