The Clippers reinforcement plan has changed! Entering the battle for superstars, asking for the number one hottest price, Ballmer has learned the idea

June 10th, the NBA Finals are still continuing. For some teams that were eliminated early, it is currently the critical time to plan for strengthening and trading. The Clippers started high and closed low this season, and won the fifth record in the Western Conference in the regular season, which brought some surprises to fans, but the gap between the seven-game battle with the Nuggets in the first round of the playoffs also disappointed fans. After entering the offseason, the biggest problem facing the Clippers is strengthening. For example, the team's No. 4 position is the priority for upgrading, and small cards with hidden injuries must return to the No. 3 position to ensure stable playing time each season. At the same time, the substitute center and point guard also need to be upgraded to enhance the team's competitiveness in the West.

Today, US media Action Network reporter Matt Moore brought the latest news of the Clippers' reinforcement. It is reported that the Clippers have contacted the Suns and discussed the deal about Durant. Law Murray said in a podcast that the Clippers' interest in the Celtics Holiday was exaggerated, and the Clippers were actually looking for bigger fish. Like other teams in the league, the Clippers also contacted the Suns about Durant's trade. In fact, a few days ago, it was already reported that Durant was being fought over by multiple teams. At that time, the Suns reporter John Gambadoro reported that the Clippers were a dark horse worth paying attention to in the Durant trade battle.

At the beginning of this season, the Clippers did not reach a contract renewal with George, nor did they use him to trade, but let him go for nothing, and then made minor repairs to the lineup. Although the team reduced the salary pressure and George also played in an average form with the Sixers, it also shows that Ballmer has begun to return to "rationality" after spending several seasons and does not want to engage in arms races anymore. If the news is true today, it will be very good news for the Clippers, which will send a good signal that the boss Ballmer has learned the idea and no longer aims to save money and reduce taxes. Instead, he should make good use of Xiaoka and Harden's end of his career and continue to make big efforts to enhance the competitiveness of the Clippers.

Although the Clippers have the idea of ​​strengthening, the current situation is extremely unfavorable to the Clippers. Compared with competitors such as the Rockets and Spurs, the Clippers cannot come up with attractive good chips. They have neither young talents nor high-quality first rounds. If players are used to trade, Harden and Xiaoka will definitely not trade. You won’t want it to give the Suns. It’s only Zubac. The key is that Zubac is the basis for the Clippers’ reconstruction in two years, so the Clippers themselves are reluctant to leave. Therefore, judging from the current situation, although the Clippers boss has become interested in restructuring the Big Three, his ideals are full, but his reality is skinny. Let’s take a look at other transactions. He doesn’t have to have superstars like Durant, but he can also compete for Bucks Portis and the Timberwolves’ Reed. The most important thing is to trade for players that suit the Clippers’ own.
