Chapter 528 The Clippers' Rookie
Chris Paul did not leave, which made all the Clippers fans breathe a sigh of relief. At this time, they can finally be sure that they can keep their trotter frame, but with the negotiation with Chris Paul, The signings they had to make because of the departure of several veterans were not completed.The Clippers' management put almost all of their attention on the negotiations with Chris Paul.

Originally, there are many good players in this year's free market in SH City. Of course, there is no hope for such a super giant inside. Dwight Howard and Andrew Bynum have already confirmed their next home. It is naturally impossible for Jefferson and Paul Millsap, who are close to the All-Star level, to go to the Clippers to serve as substitutes for Anthony Davis and Jordan Jr.The king's little beast, Carl Landry, and the dark and hard Ronnie Turiaf also found a home when the Clippers focused on dealing with Chris Paul.

Obviously, at this time, there is not much time left for the Clippers, and in the Clippers' lineup, there are only 3 traditional insiders, and Kenyon Martin, a professional who has been injured all the year round, is very important for the Clippers. For the Clippers, the current inside supplement is more important than anything else.

This time, Anson and Chris Paul were able to train happily, but for Gary Sachs, his task was far from being completed and expected.When he was in the free market, he met a lot of insiders. They couldn't offer a big contract, let alone a long-term contract. Maybe the asking price on the opposite side of Ningkeng was a little higher, so he couldn't just give him a long-term contract. Next year Renewing Anson's contract is the most important thing.

At this point, the fans of the Clippers are also very anxious. Until now, they have not even made up the roster for next season. Fortunately, they have successfully renewed the contract of Matt Baines and continued to renew the contract of Ryan Gomez with a basic salary. Adams guaranteed Anson's substitute and an insider in the small lineup, but winning the championship is not something that can be done like this.

The owner of the Heat has finally made up his mind to prepare for a hemorrhage this season. The Big Three who lost the championship this time are very dissatisfied. In addition to their own performance, they are also dissatisfied with their salary and the depth of their team's bench. In the finals, in general, the Heat's substitute performance was not bad in the next two games, but it was still not enough. To beat the Clippers, just this is not enough.

They got several newcomers in the new season, Ronnie Turiaf, birdman Chris Anderson, this was the goal they had been aiming for last season, but let them get JaVale McGee , this matter was temporarily put on hold, and now, the Clippers, who are more generous this year, will naturally not be stingy in giving a reserve price contract to strengthen their insiders.

Those who formed the Big Three originally thought at the time that they had to complete a consecutive championship no matter what, but now it seems that it is impossible to complete this task in the past four years. The Mavericks who "veteran never die" told Knowing what they call tenacity, the youth army and the Clippers came from behind. In the first three years, they only won one championship, which was far below their expectations. Therefore, the championship in the fourth year was won by Dwyane Wade When they are one year older, they have to work harder.

With two consecutive signings and the retirement of the Clippers veteran, Chris Paul only signed a 1+1 trade-off, this Heat has once again become the number one favorite to win the new season.The Clippers followed closely behind with a slight gap.

"The summer league is almost over, but we haven't found the insider we want, but I found that the rookie is playing pretty well. As a backup center, I think there should be no problem. What's his name?" Boat fans are sitting at the Staples Center watching this year's Clippers Summer League.

This year's Clippers played in the summer league so-so, with 3 wins and 5 losses. Naturally, they did not qualify for the playoffs. However, they found that the rookie they picked with the 20th pick this year performed really well in the interior, which seemed to satisfy them. All fantasies about his substitute insider.This pick is that he traded Xavier Henry, who was increasingly out of place in his team last year, plus some cash from the Bulls. As for his own pick, they also chose a 30th pick. Rookie Nemanja Nedovic from abroad.These two rookies are their biggest gains so far this summer.

The Clippers tasted the sweetness in the previous draft. Anson, an international player, gave them a special preference for international players. After all the insiders in the past had been selected, they chose a Serbian outside player. , and the player is a defender.

But at the beginning of the summer league, it was very obvious that this guard is not very suitable for the NBA, and there is a big gap in physical confrontation. Even in the summer league, it can be clearly seen that he is at the edge of the NBA. The full-back will have a hard time in the confrontation. During the regular season, he may still play a role and share the pressure, but in the playoffs, he is destined to be unable to play, otherwise it may make it difficult for those few minutes. The opposite side directly penetrated their outside line.

However, the center named Gorgui Dieng chosen with the No. 20 pick is definitely a very important surprise. Just now, he completed a very beautiful block.At 21 years old this year, he is considered an older rookie.In his junior year this year, he was elected the best defensive player in the Big East Division and was selected to the first team of the Big East Division.In the NCAA Tournament Finals, he started 37 minutes, scored 6 points, 4 rebounds, 8 assists and 8 blocks on 6 of 3 shots, leading the University of Louisville to the championship.

Another NCAA champion player, the last 4 years of NCAA championships, this Clippers has harvested 3 of them, this is the NCAA champion collector, but now in general, although this center is the same as the previous two to help the Clippers win There is a big gap for the core of the championship, but it is definitely more than enough as a substitute player.

Brad Stevens didn't come to the game with the team, but Marc Evaroni was happy, at least as a defensive coach, with Gorgui Dieng.
