On February 5, Beijing time, according to the report of ESPN Fame Woshen, the Clippers reached a deal with the Blazers, and the Clippers sent Bledsoe, Winslow, Keane Johnson, and the 2025 Pistons second-round pick to the Blazers to get Powell and Covington. The deal is seismic because from the Blazers' point of view, it is to give up the season, and from the Clippers' point of view, once George and Little Card return, this team will be the first favorite to win the championship in the playoffs.
The deal is enough to show that Clippers owner Ballmer has not lost faith in the team, and after the deal, the Blazers' total salary this season will be below the luxury tax line and will create a $6.5 million deal exception, and the Clippers' total salary this season will be raised from $93.9 million to $112.9 million. Ballmer continued to spend money to pave the way for the Clippers.
After the deal is reached, as long as the return of Little Card and George, the Clippers' lineup will be very terrifying, Reggie, George, Powell, Little Card, Little Mo, and mann, Zubac, Ibaka, Kofi, Hatten, Boston and others on the bench. It has to be said that Clippers consultant Jerry West has completed another exquisite deal.
Jerry West, who currently serves as general counsel for the Clippers, has been instrumental in the trade for Paul George and the signing of Kawhi Leonard. The most memorable thing is that he replaced Kobe Bryant with Divac in 1996, creating a three-game championship for the Lakers, West was a Lakers celebrity before the stalemate with Bass, and now his title of "Lakers Famous Host" cannot be saved.
On February 2, West publicly shelled the Lakers: I was disappointed about my career, my relationship with the Lakers was terrible, I still don't know why, maybe I should go play elsewhere instead of the Lakers. I have a great relationship with Jenny, but she has some weird people around her and they do weird things. (The reason is that the Lakers have a text message informing West that he has been cancelled for a lifetime season pass, which is a huge shame for the Lakers.
West has spent his career with the Lakers, and the Lakers have also retired his jersey, he also won a championship trophy for the Lakers, and after entering the Lakers management, he has already won the OK group triple crown, so it is too ridiculous that he has been cancelled for his lifetime season ticket. But this time, the logo master won back a city, and he used the Clippers' trade with the Blazers to prove that he was stronger than Pelinka and Jenny Bass.
