The hero is old and the two top point guards join forces again, can they still compete for the championship?

There are still a lot of news about the Clippers' offseason in the recent offseason. The boss Ballmer said in an interview that the team will definitely maintain the championship lineup next season. Leonard renewed his contract early last year during the offseason, and there were no rumors about leaving the team. Clippers reporters said that Harden is preparing to jump out of the contract and sign a 1+1 contract with the Clippers. Harden has no scandal about leaving the team either. The Clippers are expected to re-sign veteran Batum because Batum still wants to stay in the team to compete, and he plays well in the playoffs, with wonderful performances on both offense and defense, and plays like a 3D player. The contracts of the Clippers Powell, Coffey and Ben Simmons are about to expire. Powell can sign a contract of up to 4 years of $128.5 million this summer. The Clippers are not in a hurry to renew Powell. If necessary, it may be used for transactions and exchange for top stars. Powell played well in the regular season, averaging 21.8 points + 3.2 rebounds + 2.1 assists + 1.2 steals per game, shooting percentage of 50% and three-point shooting percentage of 41.8%. However, this year's playoffs, Powell's performance was a bit inaccurate: he averaged 16 points + 2.4 rebounds + 2.4 assists + 1.1 steals, with a shooting percentage of 47%, and a three-point shooting percentage of only 35% (the efficiency declined a lot).

Clippers guard Kofi, whether he returns to the team depends on the market conditions, Kofi Bogdan has not played a role in the playoffs. Of course, Tyron Lue would not use Bogdan, which may be a reason. Therefore, many Clippers fans believe that the Clippers should replace head coach Tyron Lu, assistant coach Xiao, and the coaching effect is better than Tyron Lu. Ben Simmons has defense and organization, but has no shots, no points, and is not very useful. I don’t know if Ben Simmons can fool a big contract this summer. Many fans speculate that he is only worth a basic salary.

First, the Clippers are interested in trading to get Celtic defender Zhu Holiday. Although Zhu Holiday's data and efficiency have declined this season, his defensive ability is still favored by many teams. Teams such as the Mavericks and the Clippers are interested in pursuing Zhu Holiday. The Clippers' team building idea has always been based on defense. Without defense, it is difficult to reach the championship level. As the Celtics' double-team maximum salary increases year by year, the Celtics' Super Five Big Five's salary explodes, and they may make big moves this summer's offseason.

Second, US media NBA reporters reported that the Clippers are a dark horse worth paying attention to in the Durant trade battle. At present, the Suns have actively sold Durant to the entire league. The next home that the Suns management likes is the Rockets, because the Rockets have the Suns' first round pick in their hands. They want to exchange Durant for their first round picks and young stars. However, the Rockets management wants to trade Antetokounmpo the most, after all, Antetokounmpo is younger and has a more future. Durant's next home he likes is the Spurs or the Clippers, because Durant wants to go to a team that can win the championship. The US media made a trading plan for the Clippers about Durant: the Clippers used Powell + Jones Jr. + Bogdan + 2 first rounds, and Durant was given the trade. Third, Clippers reporters reported that the Clippers and Chris Paul are expected to reach a reunion intention, and All-Star veteran Paul may return to the Clippers this summer. You read that right, Paul might return to the Clippers with a basic salary because he wants to play in Los Angeles and be with his family. Unexpectedly, 35-year-old Harden and 40-year-old Paul are about to reunite in the Clippers. The light bulb combination has come back, but unfortunately both of them are no longer at the peak. Chris Paul is a free agent this summer, and teams such as the Mavericks, Rockets and Clippers are interested in signing Paul.
