Three-party transaction! Li Kaier was sent away again! The Clippers are playing a big game!

Shams: Sources revealed to ESPN that the Clippers, Jazz and Heat have reached a tripartite deal.

The specific plan is that Norman Powell will go to the South Coast, John Collins will board the ship, and Kevin Love, Lee Kyle and the second round picks of the 2027 Clippers will belong to the Jazz.

Let's first talk about the "eternal gods in the offseason" mentioned by fans, the Los Angeles Clippers.

Their big plan must be considered first:

1: As Norman Powell is about to enter the last year of his contract (annual salary of $20.48 million), the Clippers are reluctant to offer him a long-term contract renewal.

Especially since he played in the playoffs this year, it still disappointed Clippers fans, which is completely different from the regular season.

2: The contracts between Kazak and Harden will last until the end of the 2026-27 season. The team's plan is to try to rush as much as possible in the past or two years, and if it doesn't work, it will be over.

is intended to retain flexibility in 2027, and may be prepared for rebuilding, signing big names, or adjusting the core lineup.

This is what I want to say to many Clippers fans: the team is preparing for Plan B. Don’t you give up on the combination of Harden and Leonard...

That’s right, with the completion of this deal, the Clippers’ salary space is 6.7 million US dollars lower than the first tyrant line (hard salary cap), and a starting No. 2 position has been freed!

In addition, the team has a $5.3 million special case left to use. The next step is likely to be waiting for Bill and the Suns to buy out, and then wait for him to come and invest. Even if they really formed a combination of Harden + Bill + Xiaoka + Collins + Zubac in the end, I personally don’t like it, it’s really scary. Get Collins, lose Powell, gains and losses. Collins, 2.06 meters tall and 2.11 meters wingspan, was the No. 19 pick in the first round in 2017. He played 40 games for the Jazz in the past season, averaging 19.0 points, 8.2 rebounds and 1.0 blocks per game. In terms of technical style, after all, he has strong ability to eat cakes and is still suitable for partnering with Harden. The athletic ability of the fourth position must be what the Clippers need. If there was a Collins this year's playoffs, he would not have been bullied like that by Aaron Gordon. This guy has height and tonnage, and has both space attributes... Therefore, I can understand the joy of fans waiting for the number four to finally arrive at the No. 4 position for many years, but whether this ship can sail far is not determined by the sailors.

No need to beat around the bush: Brother Deng is one year older, do you still believe him? I've saved enough disappointment. Brother Deng is a big core with the ball, and Xiao Ka is the captain. They have too many unstable factors. As for Bill... if he is really powerful, he will not be given up by the Sun. Once the back line between him and Harden is formed, the defensive end alone is enough to be abstract... The Clippers' goal is still 2027. What a coincidence, the Lakers' so too. I want to watch fast forward and see these two teams perform a battle to grab people by then.

Another angle: Li Kaier, a naturalized player of the Chinese men's basketball team, was traded again.

His contract is $27.65 million for three years, expires in the summer of 2027, and his salary is $9.22 million next season.

Brother Li has indeed begun his displaced NBA career over the years.

In terms of technical style, he is still suitable to be a puzzle or a panacea for a strong team.

If he goes to the weak team, the best example is with you, so forget it...

Neither he nor Love will be members of the future plan for rebuilding the Jazz.

The team that wants to pick up cigarette butts in the buyout market is ready...
