Los Angeles Clippers they closed a Amazing trade with Memphis Grizzlies. A transfer that weakens them deeply for a new season in which their The chances of getting the ring of champion were drastically reduced due to the injury of Kawhi Leonard.
That controversial transfer was closed shortly after the California striker agreed to extend his contract amid doubts about his departure. Of course, it must be remembered that Kawhi Leonard could miss the entire season due to a serious knee injury about which there is no news.
As we learned, the Clippers sent two key players, like Patrick Beverley and Rajon Rondo, to the Memphis Grizzlies. On the other hand, they welcomed Eric Bledsoe, who in recent years has diminished his performance, greatly worsening his perimeter effectiveness. Something that makes it a bad addition to Kawhi Leonard and Paul George.
The Los Angeles Clippers managed to renew Kawhi Leonard for four seasons, although it is very likely that he will not play in the regular season. But not only that, it’s also unclear whether he will be available for a hypothetical playoffs.
This situation set off the alarm at Clippers, who for another year, despite having one of the most decisive players in the league in the playoffs, are not favorites for the title. So, think about taking a risk with a transfer to raise the level of the squad.
Last season, the elimination of the Los Angeles Clippers at the hands of the Utah Jazz was a heavy blow, even more so considering that the series has returned. However, despite the failure of the elimination, he continued with his plan, despite losing important players.
Players like Rajon Rondo or Patrick Beverley packed the Memphis Grizzlies. Of course, Ibaka is expected to return this season after overcoming his physical problems. But the team, despite maintaining a high level, still needs something more to compete head-to-head with the Lakers and the Nets.
One of the things the Los Angeles Clippers need to improve is their outdoor shooting. Currently they have Erick Bledsoe and Jackson, two players with a defensive profile, but with a very discreet offensive arsenal. Something that presents problems when generating attacks, leaving them in the hands of George and Kawhi.
That’s why they want to take advantage of the fact that Josh Hart isn’t signed yet to try to sign him. A signature that would continue to provide a great defense, but with an improvement in the shot from outside. He also knows the city perfectly, having spent several years at the Los Angeles Lakers.
