Last season, without an All-Star player, the Clippers made the playoffs under the leadership of Lu Wei and Harrell, the "Huh Ha", and battled with the defending champion Warriors 6 Field, won two games.
During the offseason, in order to give the Clippers the strength to win the championship, the Clippers took out the capital accumulated in the past two years , Signed Leonard for $140 million in 3 years, and then traded George. The joining of the two big stars makes the Clippers immediately become the team with the highest probability of winning on paper in the new season.
However, people are not as good as heaven. In the new season, George returned late with shoulder surgery, followed by Leonard's non-stop shifts. This gave Lu Wei and other Clippers veterans some opinions on Leonard.
If Leonard can behave more generously, that’s nothing, but Leonard is less Something satirized Lu Wei, which allowed Lu Wei to seize the opportunity and get into trouble with Leonard. In this way, the Clippers have just started for two months, and the team's internal strife has been placed in front of the fans.
Leonard is so shrewd. He knows that the Clippers management will never trade him away. In the case of choosing one of the two, he can only choose the cheaper LV, because compared to himself, LV Has been significantly weakened.
Last season, he was able to make the playoffs. Wayway was the main attacker, but the new season has two super Strongly hold the ball and attack the point, if Lu Wei holds the ball again, it will be a bit redundant. It’s not good to play off the ball, and Lu Wei is only traded. In addition, Lu Wei is now regarded as sweet and delicious in the eyes of many teams. You can use Lu Wei to exchange for a player who will help the Clippers to win the championship, such as a stronger player. Inside, or a better point guard.
If Lu Wei is put on the "shelf", then a player will also be implicated, he is "Huh Ha Er Harrell in "will". In the current Clippers system, what everyone sees is Leonard singles with the ball, George singles with the ball, Lu Wei singles with the ball, Harrell singles with the ball, and Lu Wei feeds Harrell with cakes. And Harrell's feeding of Lu Wei cake was also the weapon used by the Clippers to enter the playoffs last season. Imagine that Harrell's power would definitely decrease without Lu Wei.
In addition, trading Harrell has another meaning. The Clippers now have the strongest combination of strikers in the league-Leonard and George, but they are very weak inside. Take the last 28-point defeat of the Bucks for example, because center Zubac was crushed by Lopez and Lopez.
The goal of the Clippers this season is the championship. There are two very important opponents, the Lakers and the Bucks. The team's inside line can crush the Clippers. Although Harrell can output firepower in the interior, he is only 203cm tall, and his ability to protect the basket is too poor.
If there is no Lu Wei, the offensive ability is reduced, and it is normal to be traded. In addition, Harrell is also the object of many teams' eyes, and it can also be traded to help the Clippers win the championship.
For Clippers management, why not do it? However, this time it was really "fire at the city gates and fish in the pond". Harrell was implicated in the infighting between Lu Wei and Leonard.
