The Clippers have big moves this summer? I want to join Durant s battle, seriously considering reunion with Paul

After losing to the Nuggets in the first round of the playoffs, the Clippers were eliminated early again, and the window to win the championship was almost closed. But judging from the current situation, the Clippers do not intend to demolish the team and rebuild it, but instead ensure the lineup framework as much as possible, and then adjust and strengthen it to make a final move for the championship.

So according to local reporters, the Clippers should have big moves this summer, such as wanting to join the Durant battle. According to the report of local Phoenix media person John Gambardo, everyone has focused on teams such as the Knicks and the Mavericks, but in fact, in the competition between Kevin Durant, the Clippers are a dark horse worth noting.

Although he has entered the end of his career, Kevin Durant is still in a hot state. As long as he remains healthy, he will still be the top ten superstar in the league. Especially for the Clippers, James Harden's ability to attack has declined severely. Norman Powell's stability is really poor in the high-end game of the playoffs. It is difficult for the Clippers to succeed with Kawhi Leonard alone, and he also has hidden dangers of injury and is not considered young. If Kevin Durant arrives, he and Kawhi Leonard can be called a king-combination at the critical moment. As the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Even if both of them have passed their peak period, it will be enough for their opponents to have a headache.

However, Kevin Durant is still in the contract and the Clippers' salary space is relatively crowded. The key is how much the price it needs to pay for Kevin Durant. According to some media predictions, Norman Powell is almost certain to be the main body, and with some role players and substitutes, these Clippers should be acceptable, but if the Suns sell Kevin Durant, they will definitely hope to get some draft picks in return. In this regard, the Clippers and other strong teams may not be so easy to satisfy.

Another news comes from Pat McCafee, and the Clippers are seriously considering the possibility of reunion with future Hall of Fame point guard Chris Paul. Because the Spurs are overcrowded in the backcourt, Chris Paul will almost certainly leave after his contract expires, and he has a very strong interest in ending his player career in Los Angeles, so the Clippers naturally have a great opportunity.

Although Chris Paul is 40 years old, he has played 82 games this season, and he is both a starter, and his physical and competitive state is quite good. If Chris Paul returns to the Clippers and continues to be a starting and backcourt partner with Harden, this possibility is not too great, but when Harden comes off the court, Chris Paul is responsible for driving the second team as a substitute, which seems worth looking forward to.
