The Clippers have taken a qualitative leap in strength after welcoming superstars Leonard and Westbrook to become a strong contender for this season's championship. Their roster depth and quality have reached the top of the league, but Clippers management is not satisfied with this, and they are looking to further improve the team through trades.
According to the latest news, Bulls guard DeRozan has expressed his interest in joining the Clippers. The All-Star guard has been a great player with the Bulls, and he has great scoring ability and great game intelligence. If the Clippers can get DeRozan, then their backcourt will be further improved and they will be better equipped to cope with the challenges of the playoffs.
At the same time, Harden also communicated with DeRozan privately and expressed his welcome to DeRozan's joining. As one of the core players of the Clippers, Harden's recruitment is undoubtedly a huge help for the Clippers. Harden and DeRozan worked together during their time with the Rockets, and the relationship between the two was also very good. Harden is well aware of DeRozan's ability and value, and he believes that DeRozan's arrival will bring more wins to the Clippers.
In order to get DeRozan, Clippers management plans to use Hyland, Mann and Powell as trade subjects. All three players are very good players and their role with the Clippers is indispensable. But in order to improve the team's strength and commercial value, the Clippers will need to make some sacrifices. They believe the deal is worth it, as DeRozan's arrival will bring more wins and commercial value to the team.
If the Clippers can pull off this deal, they'll have five superstars, including Leonard, George, Harden and DeRozan, as well as Westbrook. Such a squad will be extremely competitive and they will have the quality to challenge any team. However, they also face some challenges. First of all, the issue of George and Leonard's contract extensions has been plaguing the team. If they can't agree, then they could leave, which is undoubtedly a huge loss for the Clippers. Secondly, the issue of squad depth also needs to be addressed. Although they have four superstars, they still need to be strengthened in other positions.
Overall, the Clippers have shown great quality and competitiveness this season. They need to continue to work hard to improve the strength and commercial value of the team. If they can pull off a trade and win the championship, it's going to be a perfect season. Both the players and the fans will be immersed in laughter and tears. Such a victory will also play a positive role in the future development of the Clippers. Let's look forward to the Clippers' exciting performances in the next games!
