If a team doesn't win a championship, there are various reasons. For example, the small ball market can't get big stars, such as the internal contradictions of the big three, each with their own thoughts, such as the conflict between the stars and so on. But the Clippers haven't won the championship in recent years for only 1 reason: Their luck is so bad! Fans often say that the championship needs strength + luck, and the Clippers definitely have this strength, but this luck is really too bad!
I remember when Leonard and George joined the Clippers, many fans were optimistic that the Clippers would win the championship in a short period of time. At that time, Beverley was still in the Clippers, and he said publicly: Don't give me any Lakers championships in Los Angeles in the future, or James championships, in my opinion, his era is over, another new era is about to begin, and then I will win at least two championship trophies with the Clippers.
Now look at it, it's just a joke. Beverley was traded by the Clippers, while Leonard and George were still lying on the injury list, and there was no way to return, and the Clippers seemed to have been cursed by injuries and had not been able to play in the game in good health. Under such circumstances, the Clippers still showed tough competitiveness, and West's clever hand trade made fans hope for the Clippers again, believing that as long as the Clippers can be healthy, Leonard and George will come back, and the championship is at their fingertips!
The Clippers sent Bledsoe, Winslow, Johnson, and the 2025 second-round picks, with Powell and Covington from the Trail Blazers. The deal was dubbed by fans as a "robbery"! Powell arrived with the Clippers and became the new leader of the team in the absence of Leonard and George. He played in three games for the Clippers, averaging 21 points, 3.0 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game. Sadly, he only played 3 games for the Clippers before he suffered an injury, and this season is probably going to be reimbursed for the season!
On February 14, Beijing time, the Clippers officially announced that Norman Powell was diagnosed with a fracture of the inner sesamoid bone of his left foot, and has not yet decided on surgery, nor has he returned to the schedule, and will be out indefinitely. The Clippers are really miserable! Powell was injured on Feb. 11 against the Lone Rangers, when he broke through a layup and fell out of the line, which led to the injury.
The Clippers have almost everything they need to win a championship: a boss who is willing to spend money, a player with strength, a coach who has won a championship, and West, who always completes all kinds of robbery deals. But West's various clever hands could not withstand the bad luck of the Clippers! The Clippers are really miserable! Don't look at the Lakers have played badly in these 2 seasons, but the Clippers want to replace the Lakers in Los Angeles, it seems that there is still a long way to go!
