New season tour: Clippers! Trouble keeps getting around, the last bet of the light bulb combination

This season just passed, the Clippers were full of regrets, and they were a little bit away from eliminating the Nuggets. In the late period of the regular season, I defeated the championship-level dominance, but unfortunately this state in the playoffs failed to continue. The Clippers made a significant roster adjustment this offseason, aiming to compete for the championship. A series of competitive signings have given fans a hope for next season, hoping that this time will no longer be the offseason champion!

It must be said that introducing Chris Paul as Harden's substitute was a very unexpected surprise. Bradley Beal, who was bought out by the Suns, was also signed by the Clippers. The All-Star shooting guard traded to digest Harden's large number of passes. Get John Collins through the trade, filling the team's power forward vacancy for many years, while signing Brooke Lopez provides Zubac a reliable substitute. It successfully retained important rotation players such as Dunn, Bogdan Bogdanovic, and Batum last season, ensuring the depth of the lineup. The

team has a reliable rotation lineup of up to 10-11 people, and Paul's addition greatly improved the organization and stability of the second team. Therefore, the Clippers' lineup is much more balanced overall than the Lakers, who are arch-rivaled in the same city. But health and age issues are the most worrying point of the Clippers, with core players such as Harden (36), Paul (40), and Leonard (34) all having history of injury. Among them, Leonard's attendance rate in the past four years is less than 50%, and it is also a question whether Paul's age and physical fitness can support the high-intensity whole season. Bogdan Bogdanovic on the bench also suffered a hamstring injury. The league is investigating the "yin-yang contract" between Clippers boss Ballmer and Leonard suspected of evading the salary cap. If the investigation is confirmed, the Clippers may face the risk of losing their future first-round picks, fines, and even Leonard being banned. This is also an important uncertainty factor for the Clippers, and fans are also worried about it.

It can be said that the Clippers' winning window is likely to have only one year left, and success or failure depends largely on the word "health". For Clippers fans, the new season is destined to be a year full of expectations and anxiety. They will once again launch an attack on the first championship in the team history. We will wait and see whether this "Galaxy Battleship" will successfully set sail or regretfully stranded.
