The Los Angeles Clippers voluntarily gave up Paul George this offseason, and many fans said that the Clippers lost, and the Cajiao duo was dismantled, and nothing was gained. The Philadelphia 76ers are indeed bold and dare to give George a big contract of $212 million for 4 years, George's data and strength have declined last season, and four years later, George is 38 years old and has an annual salary of more than $57 million, which is likely to become a premium garbage contract. Not all stars at the age of 38 can maintain the stats and strength of the peak like James. After the Clippers lost George, they made a fortune with a muffled voice! The Clippers signed 6 people in a row, Harden recruited a small team, and then formed a super big three lineup.

After the NBA free market opened, the Lakers, Bucks, Suns and Nuggets and other strong teams did not have any excellent signing operations, Laker Pelinka did nothing, the Lakers did not get a new signing, the Bucks and Nuggets players only did not get in, and they did not have a new signing, which is very strange. Conversely, Clippers management has the most signings in the league. According to the official report of American media ESPN, since the opening of the free market, the Clippers have made 6 consecutive signings (Harden renewed), and 5 new signings have joined (Derrick Jones Jr., Bamba, Kevin Porter Jr., Dunn, Batum), and the Clippers are the team with the most new signings in the league.

Defensive titan Batum rejoined the Clippers for two years and $9.6 million. It's worth mentioning that one of the reasons Paul George wants to leave the Clippers is because of Batum and Covington. George previously said on his blog that after the Harden trade, he and Leonard had to do the dirty work of defense, which was originally done by defensive giants such as Batum and Covington, so George felt unhappy about the loss of Batum and Covington and others, he was very tired and wanted to leave the team. Batum averaged 6.3 points + 5.8 rebounds + 1.3 assists + 1.0 blocks per game, and the statistics are really inconspicuous, but his defensive efficiency has always been at the top of the league.

Derrick Jones Jr. joined the Clippers for 3 years and $30 million, and his statistics are good: 9.1 points + 3.5 rebounds + 1.2 assists + 1.0 blocks per game, and his defensive ability is also very good. Bamba joined the Clippers with a salary at the end of the year, Bamba averaged 4.4 points + 4.2 rebounds + 1.1 blocks per game, the data is mediocre, this guy has a very prominent height and arm span, but the basketball IQ is low, and fans say that his brain can't keep up with his physical talent. Dunn joined the Clippers, he averaged 5.4 points + 2.9 rebounds + 3.8 assists + 1.0 steals per game last season, and he is also a defensive stalwart. Obviously, judging from the likes of Batum, Derrick Jones Jr. and Dunn, the Clippers have brought in mostly defensive giants.

Kevin Porter Jr. joined the Clippers for 2 years and $4.8 million. Kevin Porter Jr. is a prickly player, and if he doesn't mess with things and plays well, he's a very good helper indeed. What I am most afraid of is that Kevin Porter Jr. will do things in the locker room and affect the unity of the team. Kevin Porter Jr. is only 24 years old now, and he previously averaged 19.2 points + 5.3 rebounds + 5.7 assists + 1.4 steals per game with the Rockets. And Kevin Porter Jr. also blasted 50 points + 6 rebounds + 11 assists in a single game, and he is the youngest Mr. 50 points + 10 assists in NBA history.

According to the latest report from the NBA reporter of the American media, the Clippers are actively pursuing DeRozan, and Harden is also recruiting DeRozan Jr. DeRozan is now the only big fish left in the free market, and the whole league wants him. DeRozan and Harden are young, they have grown up playing together since they were children, and they have a good relationship in private. When DeRozan suffered from depression, the most difficult period was when Harden accompanied DeRozan. DeRozan averaged 24.0 points + 4.3 rebounds + 5.3 assists + 1.1 steals per game last season. DeRozan is physical, averaging 37.8 minutes per game last season, the most in the league. NBA reporters reported that in the past five seasons, DeRozan has shot the most in the league in the number of mid-range shots, and his mid-range shooting rate is as high as 52.3%. The Clippers hope to poach DeRozan back and continue to compete for the championship around the Big Three lineup of Leonard + Harden + DeRozan.
