The Clippers intercepted the Hu Lakers again! They signed Daluo with 18 million in 2 years, and the center s shortcomings are perfect, and only two places are left to strengthen

July 1st news, the NBA free agent market opened today, which is the peak period for concentrated transactions and signing. The Clippers finally took action and started some operations. The first contract renewal this morning was to give veteran Batum, who signed a two-year, $11.5 million contract renewal with him. The second year of the contract is the team option. In addition, the contract also contains a transaction margin clause. At the same time, this contract renewal also has a slight salary increase compared to last year. After renewing Batum, the Clippers finally started signing in the free agent market. According to ESPN reporter Shams, Brooke Lopez joined the Los Angeles Clippers for 18 million in two years. After the Rockets signed Capela to intercept the Lakers, the Clippers intercepted the Lakers again and snatched away another scarce center Lopez in the market.

Grand Lopez played 80 games for the Bucks last season, with averaging 13 points, 5 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game. Now that he has signed a contract, the shortcomings in the Clippers' center position have been completely solved. Although Zubac made great progress last season, after he left the field, the Clippers' defense was prone to collapse and the offensive system also had some impact. Now that Lopez joins, his three-point offense is complementary to Zubac, which can open up space for the Clippers' defenders and forwards. In addition, although Lopez's ability has declined on the defensive end, it is still not a big problem to play as a substitute for more than ten minutes. He has experience, after all, he has been selected as the second team of the Best Defensive Player.

After getting the substitute center, the Clippers currently have two positions to strengthen, the first is the No. 4 player with the starting ability. In the first round of this year's game against the Nuggets, the Clippers made Gordon beat him many times. Whether it was defense or offense, Jones at the fourth position obviously felt embarrassed. Given the current situation of the Clippers, Xiao Ka's physical condition can no longer play as a power forward, so it is imperative to upgrade to the No. 4 position. However, because of the Clippers' salary space, if you want to find a high-quality fourth position, you must promote the trade. By then, Powell, Jones Jr., and Bogdan may become bargaining chips before they can complete the strengthening of the Power Forward.

In addition to the starting power forward position, the Clippers also need to strengthen the position of the substitute point guard. After Harden was the main control last season, the Clippers' offense would fall into chaos and their dependence on Harden was too strong. Originally, Porter Jr. used it very well, but the management was indiscriminately operating, and the transaction was made to Bogdan and signed with Simmons. The problem of substitute point guard was still not solved. Now the Clippers have the opportunity to rebuild the old with Paul. According to famous reporter Chris Haynes, veteran Paul plans to make a choice between the Suns and the Clippers. If the Clippers can grab Paul, the point guard problem will be solved. The next step is to push the trade to exchange for the starting fourth position, let's wait and see.
