Since this is a small year for the draft, various trade rumors and recruitment rumors have spread all over the league. NBA The headlines throughout the offseason have naturally been occupied by the whereabouts of the stars.
In the past few days, the hottest news subject is undoubtedly Kyrie Irving of the Brooklyn Nets . It was revealed that the "European Immortal" who had a lot of drama last season broke down negotiations with the team and may not execute the final contract. One-year player option, and there are rumors that he has close contact with the Los Angeles Lakers where his old teammate James plays. Of course, the final story is not what Lakers fans expected. As the league's top star and at his peak, you let It is obviously unrealistic for Irving to give up the player option and sign a mid-level contract with the Lakers. According to the latest news, Irving has decided to implement the player option and stick to Nets and Durant for another year.
The reunion of Lakers James and Irving here is unlikely in a short time. Instead, they are mortal enemies in the same city. The Clippers , which has been suppressing the Lakers in recent years, are about to receive strong reinforcements. According to the famous reporter Haynes, five-time Rockets All-star player Wall will reach a buyout with the team and become a completely free agent, and "Brother Wall" has decided to sign with the Clippers to assist Leonard and George form the Big Three.
The US media also immediately raised the topic: Are these the three strongest giants in the league today? Although it sounds a bit exaggerated, Wall is the No. 1 pick after all, and there are still three thousand nails in the bad ship. There is no doubt about the combat power of Leonard and Pickle who are about to come back. Without further ado, let’s go directly to the data of the three players. Since joining the Los Angeles Clippers, George has averaged 22.9 points, 6.3 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game; Leonard has averaged 26.0 points and 6.8 rebounds per game. 5.0 assists. Wall did not play last season. He played 40 games for the Houston Rockets in the 2020-21 season, averaging 20.6 points, 3.2 rebounds, 6.9 assists per game, and 1.1 steals.
John Wall is undoubtedly the person the Clippers need most. Since Paul left, the team has been in need of a point guard who can organize the team to share the offensive tasks of the two forwards. Wall is definitely not worth 47 million at the moment, but it is still very valuable to win it with a mid-level contract. If there is anything Clippers fans are worried about, it is that the Big Three all have glass attributes. Leonard and Wall did not play last season, and George only played 31 games in the 2021-22 season. However, what is currently known is that the Big Three will return strongly next season. As players who have suffered serious injuries, staying healthy and playing as many games together as possible can maintain the team's maximum combat effectiveness.
Compared with the Lakers, they did not recruit Irving and did not get rid of Westbrook . The Clippers have achieved a substantial improvement in team strength. In addition, the team is well-trained and the substitute lineup is not weak. Fans have reason to believe that the Lakers will still be bullied by their rivals in the same city for another season.
