The Clippers' performance last year really made a lot of people shine. They successfully created the best record in team history and entered the Western Conference Finals. Although he returned home unfailingly, he gave hope to the team's management and many loyal fans. While having good news, they also sent a very bad news, that is, the team’s star Leonard will miss all of next season due to cruciate ligament torn injury. The game, which means that the Clippers are likely to fall into a trough next year. The only star that the team can rely on is Paul George , but it would be a foolish dream to rely on him to compete for the championship. The team's current salary space is limited, and it is impossible to obtain more powerful players from the free market, but trading is a very worthwhile road to explore.
US media "BR" recently revealed a reinforcement plan for the Clippers. They can use 5 for 2 for a large trade, which can greatly improve their strength, and even after Leonard's comeback, they can enter the road to winning the championship as soon as possible. They will send out the team's Kennard , Zubac and Johnson and two first-round picks in exchange for the Rockets' Wood and House .
Wood is the quality center that the Rockets signed just last season. The Rockets took a fancy to his excellent potential and development prospects and won him at an extremely affordable price. The team regarded Wood as a training object last season and used him as the team's core player. He also lived up to expectations,In the last season, he can contribute 20+10 comprehensive data per game and has become an All-Star player. It is a pity that the team's record is not satisfactory, and Wood failed to take on the task of leading the team. In this year’s draft, the Rockets chose another talented cornerstone player, Jaylen Green. This young teenager will be the team’s top priority in the future, and the team’s lineup will follow. With his arrival, Wood is likely to no longer be cultivated by the team like last season. For the current Rockets, getting more quality role players is the most important thing. Wood is likely to be traded away on the way to the team's recovery. Wood, who is just 25 years old this year, is a center player who fits the small ball era very well. On offense, he has a very comprehensive finishing technique, especially for those who, although his body is not dominant, but have extremely fast moving speed and delicate touch, he can always put the basketball into goals under the strict defense of the opponent. Box. His shooting ability is also top among the inside players, whether it is a mid-range shot or a three-point long shot, he is good at it. In the offensive end of the rebound, his performance is also very impressive, often able to help the team to fight for second offensive opportunities. On the defensive end, Wood's ability to switch defenses is very good. Although he is a center, he can always limit the opposing point guard. It's just that his stature is still a bit thin, and he is still a bit cramped when facing a center player with a larger size advantage. But overall it is already very good.
Kennard of the Clippers is an excellent three-pointer. His shooting ability is the best in NBA . The offensive methods are very rich, not only can shoot three-pointers, but also have a certain ability to hold the ball in singles, and the dribble is not bad. The team's ability to reach the Western Conference finals last season was inseparable from Kennard's excellent performance. Zubac is a very traditional inside big center. His size is very dominant. In the era of small balls, his advantages are also his disadvantages. Although his excellent height and tonnage helped him defend his rebounds on the defensive end and limit the opponent's breakthrough, he would be educated by the opponent's singles and used as a cash machine when defensively. On the offensive end, his scoring ability is very single.Without the ability to hold the ball, it is good if used as a rotation player. Once it hits the small ball lineup, his problems will be exposed at a glance. Johnson is a rookie player just acquired by the Clippers this year and a swingman for forwards and guards. At the age of 19, he is still a fledgling young man, and he has a lot of space and prospects to become a 3D in the future development.
For the Clippers, this transaction is a zero-for-all, and the team's role players and substitute lineup are exchanged for more immediate players. They will have a dual-core team led by George and Wood next season. After Leonard returns, they can directly form a Big Three team. It can be said that the biggest beneficiary of this transaction is Leonard, which is simply a win. The Rockets have obtained a better lineup of roles, supplementing their depth of the bench, and mutual benefit between the two sides is a win-win deal.
