The three major focus of the Clippers during the offseason: renewal of Harden + 1 key 4 position + 1 substitute guard

In fact, it is very simple for the NBA Clippers to upgrade their lineup during the offseason. It depends on whether the team management is willing to spend money. It is nothing more than solving three fundamental problems.

First, contract extension with Harden. Harden will definitely refuse to execute the $36.32 million next season's player option contract during the offseason, so of course he hopes to reach a contract renewal with the Clippers, provided that both salary and term are satisfied, otherwise Harden's last big contract cannot be met, and he may be recruited by other teams to leave the Clippers.

Second, the No. 4 issue of the Clippers. In fact, everyone knows that the Clippers need a more reliable No. 4 position on both offense and defense that is more worthy of relying on. Leonard is indeed unable to adapt throughout the season because his physique is a bit unsatisfied with risk resistance. Collins of the Jazz and Cameron Johnson of the Nets are both very suitable for the Clippers. As long as there is enough trading weight, you can trade successfully.

Third, Substitute guard. When Harden comes off the court, there will always be a problem of chaotic lineup. No one can think of Harden's orderly organization and connection. Similarly, the Clippers will not be willing to spend a lot of money to recruit substitute guards, so Zhu Holiday obviously can't come, but the old man Paul or the big ball Lonzo Ball is very suitable. It doesn't require $10 million to recruit, and the defensive end is also very powerful.
