The Clippers' infighting has sparked widespread attention and discussion. The contradictions and disharmony within the team have led people to question their fighting ability and cohesion. If the Clippers continue their losing streak and can't solve the problem in time, then the time for a trade may not be far off.

At the same time, they also need to consider making adjustments through transactions and other means to inject new vitality and fighting power into the team. Only in this way can the Clippers get out of the predicament and get back to the championship ranks.
