Make a fortune in silence! The Clippers 4-in-5-out lineup changes their faces, and the luxurious 14-man roster strives for the championship

In the 24-25 season, the Clippers were not optimistic and achieved a record of 50 wins and 32 losses. Unfortunately, they lost to the Nuggets 3-4 in the first round of the playoffs. I thought they would lose competitiveness this summer, after all, the team's goal is to focus on the summer of 2027, and it did develop like this at the beginning. Unexpectedly, the Clippers began to make efforts one after another, completing the signing work one after another, successfully changing the lineup and becoming more competitive.

The Clippers acted completely low-key and made a fortune in silence. During this period, they first signed Lopez in the free market. With 18 million US dollars in two years, the Clippers showed sincerity and successfully brought Zubac a qualified substitute. Someone finally resisted the inside. After that, the Clippers stopped, but unexpectedly reached a three-party deal and exchanged Powell for Collins, which increased the depth of the inside line again. Zubac was surrounded by Eubanks before, but now he has become Lopez and Collins, and his strength has been further improved.

The reason why the Clippers sent away Powell, who had played the best game in his career, was that the Clippers reached a cooperation intention with Bill, who bought out with the Suns and then joined the Clippers for 2 years and $11 million. Among them, Bill has attracted the attention of many teams, but with Harden's recruitment, he finally chose the Clippers. In this case, the Clippers exchange Powell for Collins and Bill, which is definitely a great deal. Bill with $50 million will dislike him, but he is a popular commodity with $5 million.

The Clippers then signed Chris Paul, the former All-Star, with a one-year contract. The latter also decided to return after a long period of consideration. In the interview, Clippers general manager Frank also revealed that Paul will play as a substitute in the new season, and the two sides reached an agreement on this. Paul is also very clear about his position, and he will not even get a chance to play in some games. In this way, the Clippers successfully strengthened themselves, introducing 4 players, and 5 people left. Powell and Eubanks have joined other teams, while Simmons, Milton and Coffey have not yet confirmed their next home.

In this way, the Clippers formed a luxury 14-man roster, with the starting players being Harden, Bill, Leonard, Collins and Zubac, and Paul, Dunn, Bogdanovic, Jones Jr., Batum, Lopez, Kobe Brown, Christie and Needhauser on the bench. There are many people available in each position. In addition to being a little older, this lineup is still very good in other aspects. Once it can stay healthy, it will be a team at the Western Conference championship level.
