In the case of sitting on the big lineup, the Clippers stopped in the first round due to injury, Harden, George and Wei Shao and other core players have all expired, and the Clippers are facing serious challenges in the offseason, but the huge challenge is also accompanied by the opportunity to reshape the lineup, among which the American media "fadeawayworld" gave the Clippers a perfect reinforcement plan, 2 for 1 Klay base salary to sign Paul, the second round of Hu Bronny, and comprehensively upgrade the 5-star team.

Step 1: Re-contract George and Harden

George and Harden, as the core of the team, both delivered good performances in the 23-24 season, even if both of them have declined to a certain extent from their peak, but they are still the first tier stars in the free market this summer.

Among them, George wants to get a salary cap for at least 3 years, but the small card has previously cut his salary to renew his contract, which has caused the Clippers to be reluctant to provide George with a cap salary, and with George cold in the free market, it is believed that George will eventually return to the Clippers.

Because according to the current situation, no team will pay more than 50 million annual salary to compete for George, and if it is slightly lower than the maximum salary, the Clippers can fully match the contract.

Compared to George, Harden is in slightly better shape, because the Clippers' expectation for him is to be a three-man and play the No. 1 brain.

According to the performance of the 23-24 season, Harden fully meets the needs of the Clippers, so the Clippers should go all out to keep him, while compressing the annual salary to 30 million as much as possible to facilitate subsequent signings and trades.

Step 2: 2 for 1 Klay (sign and trade, $75 million for 3 years)

Trade plan: The Clippers send Powell + Coffey to Klay from the Warriors.

The Warriors offered Klay a two-year, $48 million contract, but Klay chose to decline and tried to get a three-year contract, which fully met Klay's requirements.

For the Clippers, Klay will significantly increase the Clippers' three-point production, and even if his form declines, Klay is still one of the best high-production three-point shooters in the game.

Step 3: 3 for 1 Bruce Brown

Trade plan: The Clippers send Mann + Hyland + Tucker to get Brown from the Raptors.

The Raptors have been looking to cash out Brown further after they were traded, as his age and style don't fit the Raptors' current rebuilding pace, and a younger Mann is clearly the better option.

For the Clippers, the deal boosted the team's forward depth and overall ball handling, as well as disposing of Tucker's garbage contract.

Step 4: No. 46 to pick Hu Bronny

The Clippers hold the No. 46 pick, and the American media traded to intercept Bronny with the 46th pick to increase the team's possibility of getting James at a low price in the future.

Even if you can't get James, it's not a luxury to draw with a No. 2 pick, because according to the plan of the American media, it will be difficult for the original No. 46 pick to get a rotation position.

Step 5: Middle-class exception to sign T Harris ($12.8 million)

If it weren't for a big contract of more than $30 million, Harris would still be a good starter-level forward who can provide reliable defense and offense, and has a decent overall production.

What's more, Harris spent his prime with the Clippers, and a return has the potential to activate his projection attributes.

Step 6: Sign Paul with a base salary

Not surprisingly, the Warriors will cut Paul to make room for salary, and for Paul Sr., championship and family are obviously more important.

His family is in Los Angeles, and the Clippers have a stronger championship imagination than the Lakers in the same city, and he has also played for the Clippers for a long time, so returning to his old club would be a good choice.

If all goes well, the Clippers will be upgraded to a 5-star lineup.

Starters: Harden, Klay, George, Jr., Zubac;

Subs: Paul, Bruce Brown, Harris, Theis and Bronny.
