The Lakers failed to grab the players again, Bill refused to join the Purple and Gold Army, Harden was the key figure in recruitment

On July 17, a famous NBA reporter reported that after Bill and the Suns reached a buyout agreement, they clearly joined the Clippers. The Lakers were once again snatched by teams in the same city, and both sides also snatched Lopez. According to Clutch Points reporter Brett Siegl, although the Lakers have in-depth exchanges with Bill and his team, Bill himself is not interested in joining the Lakers, even if the Lakers really lack a shooting guard.

Although the Lakers already have Reeves as the shooting guard, they still want to find a better offensive shooting guard, and Bill is a good choice. Unfortunately, Bill believes that the Clippers are better than the Lakers, so he will join the Clippers after the clarification period after the buyout. The contract between Bill and the Clippers is a two-year contract of $11 million, which is really a bargain price, with an average annual salary of only $5.5 million, which makes many people in the league greedy, and the Lakers can also provide this contract.

However, the biggest contributor to the Clippers recruited Bill was Harden. Harden personally had a conversation with Bill and his team and persuaded Bill to join the Clippers. Harden and Bill have always had a good relationship, and their partners have also interacted, so it seems that Bill joins the Clippers as expected. The Clippers have always lacked a strong third-scoring point. Now with the joining of Bills, the Clippers' firepower will be further improved next season, which will be better.

Next season, Bill will play as the starter, and the team will also formulate tactics for him, Harden and Xiaoka. Bill has been questioned for a long time, and he wants to prove himself after buying out with the Suns, so Bill may explode next season. Even if Xiao Card is absent in the regular season, Bill can help Harden, so Harden doesn't have to carry the team forward alone.
