On July 2, Beijing time, the second day of the opening of the NBA free market, Klay is undoubtedly the biggest focus of the day, he rejected the Lakers' 4-year $80 million higher offer, and chose to sign a 3-year $50 million contract and then switch to the Mavericks, teaming up with Doncic and Irving to attack the championship again, at the same time, the Clippers who let go of George are also low-key to complete the lineup reinforcement, the free market opened for 2 days, the Clippers have signed 6 players, including 5 new aid Harden small cards to compete for the championship, The 16-man roster is out.

Give up George

On the first day of free agency, the Clippers' contract extension talks with George collapsed, and the latter immediately signed a four-year, $212 million salary cap with the 76ers.

Woj revealed in the latest revelation that the Clippers are not sincere enough to renew George's contract, and there seems to be no strong desire to keep him, not only willing to offer a three-year contract instead of the four years that George is asking for, but also unwilling to provide a trade veto within the contract.

In fact, it is no wonder that Clippers management is disappointed in George, in the five years that George and Xiaoka have teamed up, the two have earned $368 million from the Clippers, but only won 13 playoff games for the Clippers.

During this period, the Clippers have paid a total of $371 million in luxury taxes over the past four seasons, ranking second in the league behind the Warriors' $579 million.

With the implementation of the new collective bargaining agreement, the penalties for the second-tier luxury tax line have increased significantly, and the Warriors and Clippers have also tacitly started tax avoidance operations this summer.

6 people were signed in two days

After George's departure, the Clippers have not stopped adding to the team, signing six players in the first two days of free agency, including five new signings.

The first one: 2 years 70 million short contract to leave the No. 1 core Harden, the contract is fully guaranteed, and the second year is a player option.

The second payment: 2 year-end salary Taobao Porter Jr

The Clippers signed a two-year contract with $2.24 million in annual salary, with a player option for the second year, and the contract was fully guaranteed, including a 15% trade guarantee.

The third stroke: poaching Jones Jr

Shortly after George officially signed with the 76ers, the Clippers filled the gap in the wing rotation with a three-year, $30 million contract to fill the gap in the wing rotation.

Fourth: Welcome back Batum

Batum, who was sent away in the Harden trade, returned to the Clippers for two years and $9.6 million, further solving the vacancy of the wing rotation after George's departure.

Fifth: Take down the defensive titan Dunn

Haynes revealed that the Clippers have successfully acquired Dunn, but the specific contract and method have not been announced.

Yahoo Sports legend Jake Fischer followed up by pointing out that the Clippers want to get Dunn in a sign-and-trade deal.

Sixth: sign a contract with Bamba

According to a new report from Woj, the Clippers acquired Bamba on a one-year contract, and he and another new signing, Batum, both played for the 76ers last season, who acquired George in free agency.

The 16-man roster is out

Potential starters: Harden, Jones Jr., Leonard, Mann, Zubac;

Subs: Westbrook, Batum, Powell, Bamba, Dunn, Hyland, Coffey, Kobe Brown, Porter Jr., PJ Tucker, Jordan Miller (two-way).

It is not difficult to see from the roster that the Clippers will definitely adjust the roster through trades in the future, because there are as many as seven guards on the current 16-man roster: Harden, Mann, Bo Kobe, Westbrook, Hyland, Kevin Porter Jr. and Dunn.

Team reporter Joey Linn made it clear that the Clippers will complete at least 1-2 trades in the future, and Wei Shao has been put on the shelf, and it has been revealed that the Nuggets are actively operating to get Wei Shao.

The current situation is that Wei Shao and the Nuggets are interested in each other, Jokic strongly wants the team to get Wei Shao, and he very much wants Wei Shao to join, because he has always wanted to play with Wei Shao, and this is not the first time Jokic wants the team to get Wei Shao.

Jordan Jr., who only renewed his contract with the Nuggets not long ago, also played an active role in it, pushing the two sides to join forces again, so it is generally believed in the league that even if Wei Shao is not traded, Wei Shao will eventually join the Nuggets (it was previously reported that if the Clippers cannot complete the deal, they will cut Wei Shao before the start of the season).
