This summer, there was a lot of movement in the NBA free agency, especially our Clippers, who were so low-key that they were full of gold and silver.
Other teams are still there to "high-profile" grab people, but our Clippers have quietly signed five good players who can play, which is a terrible operation!
First of all, we have to talk about the hero behind this wave of god operations, it is none other than our bearded Harden.
Don't look at Harden's leisurely appearance on the court, in fact, everything has already been calculated in his mind.
This time he renewed his contract, but he could see that he didn't jump up and down with the team, and he took his salary with peace of mind, and helped the Clippers save a lot of money to strengthen the lineup.
What an understanding person!
And another big move of the Clippers is about Paul George's contract extension.
Usually for this kind of star-level player, the team has to smash a big contract, but the Clippers played a bold "no contract renewal" this time.
This trick is really ruthless, but it also shows the team's long-term plan, after all, the contract war can be saved, so that there can be enough salary space to bring in other heavyweight players at critical moments.
Speaking of reinforcements, the Clippers really didn't build it this time.
The five new faces, each with their own merits, are all the kind of practical players who can get started right away without taking up too much of the salary cap.
It's like going to the supermarket, where everyone else grabs the expensive organic vegetables, while we in the clippers quietly pocket all the goods that are super cost-effective.
And, don't forget, the Clippers owner is notoriously bold, with so much money that he can't keep up, although he didn't throw a big deal this time, but who knows if he will make another big news next? The future of the Clippers is full of possibilities.
As for Harden, the old man, after the contract extension, he is expected to have more opportunities to show his skills in the new season.
After all, the team's current lineup is not bad, and if Harden can play steadily at critical moments, it is not impossible for the Clippers to hit the championship.
All this makes people look forward to the performance of the Clippers in the new season.
The integration of new signings, the chemistry between Harden and George, and whether the owner has more surprises in store are all topics that fans are talking about.
In short, this summer's Clippers, although they don't have that kind of vigorous and big moves, but this strategy of keeping quiet and silently accumulating strength may be the real winner.
In the new season, other teams are still worried about the salaries and form of the superstars, and we Clippers may have quietly laid everything out and are ready to show their strength.
Harden, the old fox, is clearly the one who sees the farthest.
Under his leadership, coupled with the team's foresight, the future of the Clippers is definitely worth looking forward to!
To tell the truth, if the operation of the Clippers this time is compared to playing cards, it is definitely the kind of "grand slam" that has been played quietly.
Harden and Paul George, the two big guys, one is silently operating in the background, and the other is calmly dealing with it in the front desk, isn't this a standard combination of inside and outside! Other teams are still throwing money at that end, and the Clippers are obviously playing a good hand, steady!
Some netizens commented: "I really don't know if Harden is intent on being the invisible leader of the team, or if he has another deep meaning."
Although the salary he received this time is a lot, it is very restrained in the NBA, which is full of big names.
Does this mean that he is optimistic about the future of the Clippers and deliberately leaves room to hold a Hercules Cup before retiring? "I think this is right, Harden, the old fox, has a very vicious vision, he sees the potential of the Clippers, so he will arrange his future in this way.
Moreover, you said that Harden and George, a partner, it was really a combination made in heaven.
George's calm style of play, coupled with Harden's changeable strategy, isn't this the Clippers' version of "Fire and Ice"! Looking at the tacit cooperation between the two of them on the field, I bet that as soon as the new season starts, other teams will have to rush?
Let's talk about the five newcomers signed by the Clippers this time.
Although the fame is not as good as the star player, this is so cost-effective that no one else.
It's not like shopping in the supermarket, it's more like a hidden version of the baby found on Taobao, and the price is very good! As soon as these five people joined, the bench depth of the Clippers immediately increased, and they were able to play and fight in rotation, and they did not lose to the main force at all.
Some netizens said: "These newcomers, although they are not well-known, but my eyes tell me that these young men have a promising future!" Especially the little guard, who is agile and sharp-eyed, has a bit of a little Harden's demeanor.
"Hey, I listened to the beauty in my heart, the clippers have always had a unique vision, and this time they have picked up the treasure again!
And the Clippers owner's big move, although I didn't see it this time, but who knows if he will suddenly make a big move in the upcoming season? After all, in the world of the rich, how can we, ordinary fans, guess it? The owner's wallet is thick, that's for sure, maybe one day he will make big news and directly turn the Clippers into a super team.
And then you see, in this situation, the Clippers are obviously holding back their big moves.
The other teams are still coming and going, but the Clippers are calm, as if everything is planned.
No, some netizens began to speculate: "The Clippers are going to play steadily and steadily, make a sudden force, and directly impact the championship?" "I don't think this is an exaggeration at all, the Clippers' strategy is obviously to recharge their energy and wait for the opportunity to make a splash!
In short, looking at the operation of the clipper this time, I am really convinced.
is not only the thoughtfulness of the team's management, but also the stable performance of the two veterans, Harden and George, plus a group of newcomers who are about to shine, the Clippers are not only stable, but also full of horsepower and soaring into the sky! It's really exciting, the new season, the performance of the Clippers, it's definitely worth looking forward to!
