The Clippers' heavy signing is approaching, Amen's transformation and Lillard's next home are becoming clear

On the NBA's passionate and variable stage, every dynamic during the offseason can arouse heated discussions among fans. Recently, many major news in the league have been released, and the two potential signings of the Clippers, the change in Amen Thompson's position and Lillard's whereabouts have become the focus of fans and media attention.

will first turn your attention to the Clippers. According to reliable news from multiple parties, the team is only one step away from reaching two shocking league signings. Chris Paul and Bradley Beal are expected to wear the Clippers' jerseys in the new season. Paul, the 40-year-old legendary point guard, averaged 9.2 points, 3.9 rebounds and 6.8 assists per game last season, shooting 44.1% from the field and 37.1% from three-point shooting percentage. His rich game experience and excellent organizational skills can undoubtedly provide strong guarantees for the Clippers' offensive sorting. At the same time, the heartwarming move of the Clippers' commitment to retire Paul's jersey is extremely attractive to Paul, who is about to enter the end of his career. Paul's joining can not only teach young players by example on the court, but also stabilize the morale of the army with his big heart and rich experience at critical moments.

Bill is also strong, playing in 53 games with the Suns last season, averaging 17 points, 3.7 assists and 1.1 steals per game. His super scoring ability, whether it is mid- and long-distance shooting or breakthrough, can pose a huge threat to the opponent's defense. The Clippers had previously traded Norman Powell, which was seen as preparing for signing Bill. Bill and Harden have a good personal relationship. Good chemistry will help the Clippers perform smoother cooperation on the offensive end and improve the team's overall offensive efficiency.

If these two signings are completed successfully, the Clippers' strength will make a qualitative leap. The starting lineup Harden, Bill, Leonard, John Collins and Zubac have strong offensive firepower and solid defensive strength. Paul and Bogdan Bogdanovic on the bench can also provide stable scoring and organizational support at any time. Such a luxurious lineup makes the Clippers a strong contender for the new season's championship, and fans are full of unlimited expectations for the new season.

Look at the Rockets' Amen Thompson, he will usher in a major change in position in the new season and change to the score. Last season, Amen showed his all-round potential, capable from No. 1 to No. 4, and his excellent defensive ability made him selected for the second team of defensive team. He was selected as a point guard in the draft, and he also appeared at the power forward when Jabbarry Smith was injured last season. Now returning to the second position, the combination of Amen and Durant is exciting. Amen is young and energetic and athletic, while Durant has historical singles and shooting abilities. The two can complement each other on the court, adding more vitality to the Rockets' offense and defense.

The Rockets' starting lineup in the new season has also triggered many speculations among fans. The more conventional combinations may be Van Vleet, Amen Thompson, Durant, Smith and Shin Kyung. This lineup combines defense and three-point space. Ethan, Smith and Amen Thompson, the defense of the three forwards can provide Durant with a strong replacement and escort, allowing Durant to play his advantages more easily on the offensive end.

Finally, it is a question of where Lillard is going. The All-Star point guard's future career direction has attracted much attention after a torn Achilles tendon and cut by the Bucks. According to NBA reporter Brett Siegel, Lillard and his team have communicated with several teams that are competitive in the playoffs. Although he is expected to miss most of the 2025-26 season, the teams value him 100% recovery in the 2026-27 season, which is why Lillard is not in a hurry to finalize the agreement.

Celtics are currently one of Lillard's next homes. According to Scott Borges, Lillard and the Celtics have completed a meeting, and negotiations between the two sides are progressing smoothly. Celtic general manager Brad Stevens, main strikers Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown all attended the meeting. Lillard and Tatum are good friends. They used to represent the US team in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics together. Similar injury recovery process may make their friendship stronger and add some possibility to Lillard join the Celtics. In addition, Lillard has always had a strong interest in the Warriors. He is from Oakland and has a close relationship with Curry, Green and Butler. He hopes to fight alongside Butler when he asked for a deal in 2023. It is reported that the Warriors offered Lillard a two-year, 16 million yuan recovery contract, and promised to do their best to strengthen the lineup to win the championship, which is undoubtedly very attractive to Lillard. The offseason of the NBA is always full of surprises and variables. The signing of the Clippers, Amen's position adjustment, and Lillard's next move will have a profound impact on the league pattern in the new season. Fans are looking forward to it, waiting for these suspense to be revealed one by one and witness the exciting events of the new season together.
