Light bulbs reunited, but the cap on this Clippers is still Leonard

Paul officially joined, and the Clippers' signing work finally ended successfully.

There is no doubt that it is another wonderful and hopeful offseason. In March last year, the Clippers were writing an article that may be the most dangerous team in the West. The main reason at that time was that they were good in core form, good lineup depth, and excellent players at both inside and outside, offense and defense. However, after the playoff test, especially after seven games with opponents like the Nuggets, three lineup problems were still exposed:

First, Harden has no substitute, and once Harden comes off the court, the Clippers' offense is prone to chaos;

Second, Zubac has no substitute, and when Azu rests, the Clippers have to use Ben Simmons to top the No. 5 position, which proves not a good choice;

Third, the team does not have a serious fourth position, and when Gordon meets a size like Gordon, it is difficult to play for Leonard or Batum;

Unexpectedly, after an offseason effort, all the above problems were solved.

Paul is here - Harden has a substitute

Even though Paul is over, he still has a full starter last season and has a stable output of 8.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, 7.4 assists and 1.3 stops per game, with only 1.6 turnovers. With such a level, not to mention that Harden is more than enough to play a substitute, even if he occasionally starts, it is completely OK. Therefore, in the new season, Harden not only has a substitute, but also has the capital to appropriately reduce the burden.

Collins is here - finally there is a serious 4 position

The logic of the basketball world is always changing. For example, in the past two years, top teams have basically had 4 and 5 positions of sufficient size, Jokic and Gordon of the Nuggets, Harten and Chet of the Thunder, Turner and Sika of the Pacers, etc. After the deal came to Collins, the Clippers also had it. Moreover, Collins is also a young, with space attributes and strong ability to go down, and can occasionally swing to the 4th position of No. 5. Just thinking about it, Collins was already filled with snot bubbles from George and Clarkson to Harden and Paul.

Dalou is here - Zubac has a substitute

Dalou is indeed old, 37, slow down, and late in reaction. This is the reason why the Bucks gave up the contract renewal. However, similar to Paul, Daluo's attendance last season was still excellent, with 80 games, starting all of them, playing 31.8 minutes per game, and still able to contribute high-quality franchise protection and scored 1.7 three-pointers with a 37% shooting percentage. The same thing is said, playing as a substitute is enough, and occasionally starting is no big problem.

As for Bill

To be honest, the reason why Bill was scolded so badly was mainly due to his high salary and too many injuries, and the Suns' unsatisfactory record. You have to say how bad he is, it’s really not true. From the Wizards to the Suns, to be honest, Bill made great sacrifices in his role and ball rights. Now, joining the Clippers for 11 million in two years, what other bicycles do you need? Compared to Powell, who just played the best performance in his career, who wanted to renew his contract with a big contract, it was so fragrant.

In this way, the Clippers' main rotation lineup next season is as follows:

Point Guard: Harden + Paul

Quantity: Bill + Bogdan + Dunn

Little Front: Leonard + Jones Jr

Big Front: Collins + Batum

Center: Zubac + Dalu

Always getting older, the depth and intensity are indeed good.

Today, a friend shared with me a data:

From 2013 to the present, the Clippers have achieved a total of 646 wins and 400 losses, ranking second in the league in the same period, second only to the Warriors. Among the top nine teams with the same period, only the Clippers have not won the championship yet, which is really embarrassing. The offseason champion has been calling for so many years, and this Clippers, which has built a team with Leonard as the core, is also the last time to make a move. To be honest, whether you can seize the last opportunity depends on Kawaii himself. Last year, he lost to the Nuggets in the tiebreak, and the performance of the card was not considered a draw, but except for G2's 39 points, the remaining 6 games had only one game of more than 25 points, which is obviously not enough.

In the new season, how good is Kazi's physical condition, attendance, and whether he can persist in the playoffs and the depths of the playoffs will all determine whether the sunset will be red.
