The Clippers signed 3 people in a row! upgraded 15 people, with a salary of more than 200 million, Harden said ruthless words again, and the American media posted heart-piercing data

After 3 wins and 1 loss in the opening game, the Clippers did not stop the pace of reinforcement, and got Harden, a top backcourt player, through a big deal, forming a Big Four lineup of Wei Shao + Harden + George + Leonard, but not a winning streak, but a 6-game losing streak, and the team's ranking fell all the way to the bottom four in the West, only better than the Spurs, Grizzlies and Trail Blazers.

In the face of such a situation, the Clippers decisively completed the reinforcement of the lineup, signed three players in one go, and upgraded the 15-man squad with a salary of more than 200 million.

First signing: Tyse is about to be signed

According to Woj, Theis, who completed a buyout with the Pacers, will sign with the Clippers after the clarification period.

The interior has always been a weakness for the Clippers, and offseason signing Plumlee suffered a sprained medial collateral ligament in his left knee and is expected to miss two months, leaving the team with a stretched interior rotation.

Second signing: Primo on a 2-year contract

Clippers reporter Andrew Greif was the first to reveal that the Clippers signed Primo to a two-year contract, with the second year being partially guaranteed.

As the No. 12 pick in 2021, Primo played in four games for the Spurs last season, averaging seven points, 3.3 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game.

Third signing: Xavier Moon on a two-way contract

According to the official announcement of the Clippers, the team converted Primo's two-way contract to a full-time contract, and at the same time, they used the freed two-way contract to sign Xavier Moon.

With three signings, the Clippers' roster has been raised to 15 players, and the specific roster is as follows

Projected starters: Westbrook, Harden, George, Leonard, Zubac;

10 subs: Powell, Tucker, Theis (signing soon), Mann, Plumlee, Coffey, Brown, Hyland, Primo, Boston Jr.

According to salary expert Bobby Marks, the Clippers spent more than $200 million after completing three signings, making the Clippers one of only two teams in NBA history with a salary of more than $200 million after the Warriors.

It's worth mentioning that the Clippers' luxury tax bill has increased from $99.2 million to $142.3 million since Harden joined.

In an interview with Chris Haynes of The Bleachers, Harden said he didn't attend training camp and was still looking for form, so it will take some time and will help the team become the best Clippers it can be.

During this period, Harden also released cruel words: "When we figure everything out, we will be very scary. （When we figure this out, it's going to be scary）”

This is not the first time that Harden has made such harsh remarks, and during his time with the Nets, Harden also publicly stated: "A healthy James Harden... It's scary, scary moment. ”

Therefore, the American media did not take this sentence seriously, and posted a set of heart-wrenching data, detailing the consecutive defeats that Leonard has suffered when he played for various teams in high school and college.

There is no losing streak in high school, 2 consecutive losses in college, 4 consecutive losses under the Spurs, 3 consecutive losses under the Raptors, and the Clippers are currently on a 6-game losing streak.

Next, the Clippers will face the Rockets, who have won six in a row, and it will be difficult to end the losing streak, but fortunately, they will continue to play against the Spurs in the future, and the losing streak is not expected to last long.
