On July 2, Beijing time, the Los Angeles Clippers sent 3 messages, let's take a look.
乔治离队内幕曝光
Not long ago, Paul George refused to exercise his $4,880w player option for next season because he couldn't agree with the Clippers about a contract extension, and was ready to test the free market (George wants a four-year salary cap, but the Clippers are willing to give a three-year salary cap). Yesterday, George reached a four-year, $212 million max contract with the 76ers, officially ending his five-year Clippers career. It is worth mentioning that Clippers owner Ballmer is worth as much as 100 billion dollars, not only the richest of the 30 NBA owners, but also once ranked in the top ten of the Forbes list in the United States. It can be said that as long as the league rules allow, he has the capital to provide the maximum salary to 15 members of the team, which also makes many fans quite concerned about why the Clippers want to stick to the bottom limit and not make concessions on renewing George's contract.
今日，快船随队记者Law Murray报道了乔治的离队内幕，Murray说道：“上赛季常规赛中后期，快船连吃败仗、战绩有所下滑，乔治公开质疑球队特质，这让主帅泰伦卢和其他球员感到困惑和愤怒。 季后赛首轮，在小卡受伤无法上场的情况下乔治没有挺身而出，打出了季后赛生涯最糟糕的表现，那时候快船管理层就觉得乔治配不上多年顶薪。 休赛期，乔治在自己的播客节目中疑似嘲讽队友伦纳德不愿意带伤出战，这直接成为了压垮快船心中底限、坚决不在续约乔治一事上做出让步的最后一根稻草。 ”谁能想到19年对为家乡球队效力感到欣喜若狂的乔治会在5年后以如此不愉快的方式和快船分手，着实令人唏嘘。 不管怎样，既然离开了，也希望就此翻篇，祝福乔治在76人越打越好，快船也能重新扬帆起航。
全能战士回归
Today, ESPN's WOJ reported that free agent Batum has agreed to a two-year, $9.6 million contract with the Clippers. The 35-year-old Batum is 2.03m tall, weighs 105kg, and plays the No. 3 and No. 4 positions on the field. Batum played 16 seasons in the NBA, played a total of 1,053 regular season games, averaged 10.4 points, 5 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.6 blocks in 29.7 minutes per game, and scored 5x5 data many times, making him one of the league's all-round fighters. From 20 to 23 years, Batum has been playing for the Clippers and is one of the team's important rotations. Earlier last season, Batum was sent to the 76ers in a trade involving Harden.
For the Clippers, Batum's return has multiple benefits and effects. First of all, Batum is familiar with the Clippers' system, and it doesn't take much time to run in to quickly integrate, and he has comprehensive skills, can shoot suddenly, and has good air cutting skills, which can enrich the Clippers' offensive tactics; Second, although Batum's individual defense is not as reliable as when he was younger, he still has excellent help defense ability and can increase the aggression and margin for error on the Clippers' defensive end; In the end, Batum's arrival allowed Leonard to return to the familiar No. 3 position, which also reduced Leonard's physical consumption and avoided unnecessary injury risks to a certain extent.
32+10后卫加盟
今日，据NBA名记Chris Haynes报道，快船用一份一年底薪合同签下了自由球员克里斯邓恩。 现年30岁的邓恩身高1.91m，体重92kg，在场上司职后卫，他是16年首轮第5顺位秀，在NBA打了8个赛季，累计出战333场常规赛，场均上场23.2分钟得到7.9分3.3篮板4.2助攻1.4抢断，最高拿过32分10篮板。 而随着邓恩加入后，快船后卫线多达8人，分别是哈登、威少、波特、鲍威尔、海兰德、邓恩、曼和克里斯蒂（今年46号签）。 其中，除了威少确定离队（被交易或裁掉），还将至少有1-2名球员会被纳入交易谈判。
Dunn is a player with obvious strengths and weaknesses. The advantage is that the offensive end has a strong breakthrough ability and good organizational tandem skills; Defensively, he has both awareness and ability, and can take on the heavy responsibility of marking the opponent's arrows in the backcourt. The disadvantages are poor projection, lack of stability on the offensive end, and hot temper and uncontrollable, which is easy to have conflicts with opponents on the field, affecting the team's tactical deployment. Overall, it was worth it for the Clippers to sign Dunn, who was in his playing years, with a base salary.
