Before the trade deadline this season, the Clippers' logo men did a good job, they exchanged Bledsoe, Winslow, Keane Johnson, a future draft pick for powell and Covington of the Trail Blazers, a deal that was turned out by many experts as a robbery trade.
The Clippers seized the psychology of the Blazers who wanted to rebuild, and won the Powell who averaged 19 points per game, which is also considered the starting point for the Clippers to restart the goal this season, if Powell can make up for the lack of Leonard and George in the regular season and bring the team into the playoffs, perhaps in the playoffs these two big guys will choose to pay, the Clippers also have the strength to become the spoilers of the West.
But the so-called people are not as good as the sky, logo men can be counted, but also can not be counted as injury problems, Powell played 3 games for the Clippers, in the average 26 minutes per game, Powell can get 21 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists, shooting 47.6%, three-point shooting 42.9%, which also let the Clippers see hope.
But the injury came, in the Clippers and Lone Rangers game, Powell had an injury in the third quarter, and then limped back to the locker room, at first the Clippers thought that Powell was injured to toe, but after another examination on February 14, the Clippers announced that Powell was diagnosed with a fracture of the sesamoid bone in the inner left leg, and Powell has not yet decided whether to operate, but it is certain that Powell, who is out of the game indefinitely, will reimburse the season.
New signings became a flash in the pan, the Clippers' hopes were once again dashed, their playoffs this year are almost impossible, the Clippers will also bear Powell's salary, which also makes many fans pay attention to Powell's reimbursement, Clippers owner Ballmer can get how much compensation from insurance?
As we all know, in order to protect the interests of team owners, the league forces the team to buy insurance for the top three salaried players in the team (premium players are 1.5%-4%, actually according to the player's injury history), but usually the team will buy insurance for all players in the rotation lineup, but insurance is not the player injury can be stimulated, according to the relevant regulations, players are only because of the same kind of injury, miss more than 41 games, the insurance is activated, and the insurance only pays 80% of the player's absence salary outside of 41 games.
Powell is injured, but this season Powell has played 40 games in the Blazers, 3 games in the Clippers, and his season attendance has exceeded 41 games, which also means that Ballmer is difficult to activate the final insurance payment terms, the 15.52 million salary that the Clippers need to pay this season is also completely lost, and the Clippers owner Ballmer is also empty, and can only look forward to the arrival of next season.
