On July 17, the NBA free market ushered in another big news. Bill finally reached a buyout with the Suns, and then confirmed that he would join the Clippers after the clarification period. For the Clippers, their offseason operation does not seem to be over. There is also a veteran who can use the basic salary and is paying close attention to Paul, the former All-Star point guard. Once they can sign, their lineup is still very luxurious.
In the 24-25 season, the Clippers achieved 50 wins and 32 losses without being favored, and faced the Nuggets in the first round of the playoffs. The situation was in great momentum, but unexpectedly it was eliminated 3-4, but the team did not choose to rebuild it, but chose to further improve the lineup. The Clippers' goal is to set the summer of 2027, but they did not give up the next two seasons and still wanted to remain competitive, and now they have taken action. During the offseason, the contracts of the Clippers Nemells, Coffey and Simmons have all expired, and now the three of them will basically not return. In addition, the Clippers also chose to cut off Eubanks' non-guaranteed contract, and the latter soon found the next one. Then he sent Powell away through a transaction. His new season was due to the expiration of the contract and faced the issue of renewal. In the end, the team chose to send him away and chose to let go when the value was the highest. Although it was a pity, it was also a very good choice.
5 players left the team one after another, and the Clippers quickly found a replacement. First, in the inside, the team introduced veteran Lopez to serve as Zubac's substitute to improve the depth of the inside. In the past two seasons, the Clippers have been relying on Zubac alone in the interior. Now he is not only surrounded by Lopez, but also Collins. The Clippers obtained the athletic Collins through trades, whose outstanding physical fitness can complement Zubac and also release Leonard to return to the familiar No. 3 position.
, and Powell's replacement is Bill. It should be noted that Bill is still younger than Powell. In addition, Bill, who has more than 50 million, is disliked, but he, who has more than 5 million, is still very likely to become a hot commodity. In this way, the Clippers successfully made major changes to the lineup, and at the same time became more competitive, forming a 10-person luxury rotating lineup to strive for the championship.
The starting lineup can be ranked: Harden, Bill, Leonard, Collins and Zubac, while Dunn, Bogdanovic, Jones Jr., Batum and Lopez the Big Big. Don't forget Paul who may sign.
