This offseason, many teams have been strengthened, the most typical example is the Thunder and Spurs, the Thunder signed Caruso and Harten, just to solve the two major shortcomings of the lineup, last season they were the first in the West, there is no reason to play worse in the new season, some American media not long ago also predicted the new season of the Western rankings, the first is the Thunder, followed by the Timberwolves and the Mavericks. With the addition of Paul and Barnes, the Spurs have undoubtedly improved their strength a lot, and Wembanyama will take off completely after having Paul by his side, and the Spurs in the new season may at least have the strength to impact the play-offs.

The Mavericks knew the reason they lost to the Green Army in the Finals, mainly because they didn't have a third scoring point except for Eastern Europe, so they signed Klay, who was definitely better than Jones Jr. despite the severe decline in competitive form. There is also the king to form a big three lineup of Fox + DeRozan + Xiaosa, which is very competitive, the Pelicans are signing Dejounte Murray, the Warriors are also actively strengthening, Melton, Lee Kyle and Hield are all good new signings, so it seems that the West is becoming more and more wild, and it may be that except for the Trail Blazers, they will impact the playoffs. There is also a team that is considered to be weaker, but this is not the case.

That team is the Clippers, who failed to keep George in the offseason, who joined the 76ers for $212 million in four years, and George's departure was due to the Clippers' reluctance to give him a big contract, and George thought he had a better chance of competing for a championship with the 76ers. Theoretically, the Clippers should not be as strong as last season without the giant George, but this offseason the Clippers management is very active, they have signed 6 new signings, namely Chris Dern, Kevin Porter, Cameron Christie (rookie), Jones Jr., Batum and Bamba, while renewing Harden's contract, exercising the team option of Westbrook and Tucker, which is considered a contract extension of 3 people.

Point guards: Harden, Westbrook, Hyland, Chris Dunn

Quarterbacks: Mann, Powell, Kevin Porter, Primo, Cameron Christie

Nick Front: Jones Jr., Coffey, Batum

Omae: Leonard, Tucker, Kay Jones

Center forwards: Zubac, Bamba

After a series of operations, the Clippers have made up for the loss of combat power caused by George's departure, and even surpassed, such as center, the Clippers finally got rid of Plumlee, Theis did not renew his contract, Bamba is talented, can run and jump, can grab rebounds and defend, is definitely the kind of interior that the Clippers need most, and he can even start in place of Zubac. Jones Jr. played well with the Mavericks last season, top-notch defense, and okay shooting, and had no problem playing the Clippers' No. 3 spot. Chris Dunn is a great player, he has a very strong outside bite, he is a top defensive stalwart, and he is perfect as a backup for Harden.

After signing with the Clippers, Porter Jr. once said that he would change his mind and play seriously, as long as he is serious, Porter Jr. can provide an average of 10 points per game firepower output, and he is a master of chaos, and he will play a good role in some games. Batum as a veteran and has a wealth of game experience, worthy of trust, to sum up, the Clippers' lineup is obviously upgraded, there are two points have to be mentioned, first, the Clippers' current lineup is more compatible with Harden, secondly, Harden's ball possession will increase next season, and the improvement of data is a predictable thing, the only unstable factor now may be Leonard, if Karuo Jr. goes all out to play, the Clippers' current lineup definitely has the strength to compete for the championship.

Last season, Harden + George + Leonard was not perfect, George also said before that after Harden arrived, he didn't like the rhythm of the Clippers now, now that George is gone, Harden and Leonard can be perfectly compatible, and with a group of not weak helpers, the Clippers have become the most hidden team in the offseason, and they will disrupt the West. When Leonard recently participated in the U.S. men's basketball training camp, he bluntly said that the goal of the new season is still to hit the championship, and at the same time said that his current physical condition is very good, it can be seen that Leonard is still very confident, I hope he can play in the playoffs next year, and I also hope that after George leaves, Harden can open a stronger desire to attack, if you can play the strength of the Rockets 7 percent, then the Clippers will be difficult to beat.
