The most failed deal in history? US media put salt on the Clippers wounds, George s 1-for-9 is indeed a loss

Failed trades in the NBA often occur. Today, the Clippers were eliminated by the Nuggets in the tiebreak. It turns out that their operations in this season were not outstanding. If the team had kept Porter Jr. and Kai Jones, they might have been stronger than they are now. The team sent these two away on the trading deadline and got Bogdan and Simmons. As a result, everyone has also seen that they did not meet the expected level and failed to support the team's substitute in the playoffs, which is not as good as the Clippers' former substitute Westbrook.

After being eliminated today, the US media also revealed the Clippers' next operation plan. It is reported that the Clippers will operate very cautiously during the offseason. They will maintain the flexibility of their salary space. If there are suitable players, they will do their best. The team focuses on the offseason in the next two years. In addition, regarding Tyron Lue, the US Records also stated that the Clippers will not give up Tyron Lue. He is part of the team's plan, which means that the Clippers will not change much during the offseason.

In fact, I think the Clippers have been opening high and closing low, which is not a problem of players and coaches. The team operation department is the key, just as we said just now that if Porter Jr. and Kai Jones were kept, the Clippers might be stronger. To be honest, since Frank became the Clippers' operation president in 2016, the Clippers have been opening high and closing low, because Ballmer is not short of money. The team has always formed a very luxurious lineup, but the team is called the champion every year in the regular season, and was eliminated every year in the playoffs.

When it comes to Frank's worst deal, many fans probably have a deal that is unshakable in their minds, that is, George's deal. Today, after the Clippers were eliminated, the US media also posted screenshots of George and Alexander's deal, and wrote: This is the most failed deal in history. I guess everyone has an impression of this deal, and Leonard is the main reason for the Clippers to complete this deal.

Leonard announced his joining the Clippers in the offseason in 2019, and the Clippers asked who he was interested in joining forces with. He was interested in Butler and George, but Butler did not want to be the second in command. The Clippers found George. At that time, George had just been eliminated with Westbrook in the first round. He had always been eager for the championship and also wanted to join the big football market. After all, no star would refuse in places like Los Angeles, and George also chose to force the palace.

Thunder had long had the idea of ​​reconstruction. After all, the team that had been working with George and Westbrook for three years has never crossed the first round. However, after George decided to trade, the Thunder still asked Westbrook about his opinion. If he was willing to stay in the team, the team was willing to continue to win around him. It can be said that the Thunder gave them enough respect to the first person in the team history, but Westbrook chose to leave, and the Thunder also sent him to the team he liked, and the Thunder could be said to have gained a lot in George's deal.

They asked for 4 unprotected first-round picks, 1 protected first-round pick, 2 first-round exchange picks, and Gallinari and Alexander. Many fans probably know that after this deal, George did not lead the Clippers to success after joining the Clippers, and his playing style also caused dissatisfaction among many role players. In the 19-20 season, the team suffered conflicts in the locker room. In order to appease George, the Clippers sent Harrell away in the trade. After

, George still failed to lead the Clippers to success. He faced an early contract renewal last season. The Clippers hoped that he could sacrifice part of his salary and signed a contract that was close to the super maximum salary, but George just didn't want to sacrifice his salary. In the end, he chose to leave the team. The Clippers paid so much for him and did not touch George. The chips traded by George are probably the height that they finally reached.

Alexander was the No. 11 pick in the first round, but he now played as a top star in the league. He was able to win the MVP this season. After the Thunder got him, he has been building a team around him. It has to be said that Presti has a very accurate view of people. He usually builds a team around high-ranking players, but he has taken advantage of Alexander's talent and started building a team around Alexander. As a result, Alexander played a level far beyond expectations.

The Clippers missed a cornerstone for the next 10 years in order to be quick and quick. What's more important is that Jaylen Williams, who was won by the 12th first round pick in 222, was also the first round pick they got from this deal. The two cornerstones of the Thunder are originally the Clippers players. Perhaps the Clippers really want to achieve their rise, and they should give up Frank. They have many excellent GMs in the NBA circle. Ballmer is not short of money. He can chase excellent general managers such as Connery, which can also make them closer to success.

Except for this season, the Clippers have not spent less in the past few years, but they have never met expectations. Perhaps they should consider changing. Having said that, what do you want to say about the current Clippers? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
