NBA: Booker’s template, female stars are all power banks

"Basketball is not all about lineups!"

Although the Suns' current lineup is a bit scary.

But the lineup revamp that was completed in one summer will also require them to have a longer time to get used to it.

Paul George's departure also foreshadows Westbrook's imminent departure.

In this regard, the Los Angeles Clippers have set their sights on the Oklahoma City Thunder!

November 7th, US time

Without any trading news.

The Los Angeles Clippers dominated the headlines of major news media.

Head coach Doug Reeves, who has coached the team for five seasons, officially announced his resignation.

He retired from being the team's head coach and became the team's assistant coach, and still remained on the Clippers coaching staff.

Although many teams have contacted the championship coach, Rivers has never thought about leaving the Clippers.

He knows it very well!

The Los Angeles Clippers with Ye Huan are about to rise!

After Rivers retired and became the team's assistant coach, who would become the new Clippers head coach became a hot topic.

Some say it will be Budenholzer, who has not yet completed his contract extension with the Milwaukee Bucks.

Some people also say that it will be Ye Huan University head coach Lao K.

However, the media and fans' speculation did not last long.

It was the day after Doug Greaves left office.

The Clippers management held a press conference.

The team's special advisor Jerry West and owner Ballmer were in attendance.

"Just a while ago, Doug told me that coaching this team is going to be a very difficult and big undertaking."

"He is not ready to take on the challenge at this point."

At the press conference, Mr. West made a familiar opening statement: "So, we decided to officially hire head coach Tyronn Lue to help the team!"

As soon as Mr. West finished speaking, the media reporters at the scene were in an uproar.

Everyone thinks that the Clippers' head coach will be an experienced veteran.

As a result, they immediately produced a "genius coach"!

Amid the uproar of reporters, Tyronn Lue, dressed in formal attire, walked out calmly.

After shaking hands with Ballmer and West, he sat next to them.

Before the reporters in front of him could ask questions, Tyronn Lue spoke confidently:

"I joined the Los Angeles Clippers with only one goal, and that is to win the championship!"

"Wuhu~"

The first words that Tyronn Lue said when he came on stage once again caused an uproar at the scene.

Joining the Clippers, just to win the championship? ?

Who gave you the courage?

Do you want to take a look at your current lineup?

The entire Western Conference is constantly strengthening its roster, but your Clippers have not been able to acquire a star since the free market opened.

Now you say you want to win the championship?

Bro, you are not mistaken! ?

The Los Angeles Clippers finalized their head coach candidate amidst doubts.

And their subsequent trading activities officially began!

November 7th, US time!

The Los Angeles Clippers once again dominated the headlines of major media websites.

They have officially reached a deal with the Oklahoma City Thunder.

The Los Angeles Clippers sent: Jonathan Simmons, Lopez, Harrell, Beverley and first-round draft picks for the next four years.

The Oklahoma City Thunder sent out: Russell Westbrook, Robertson, Jerami Grant and Aquaman Adams!

The news of this transaction shocked basketball media all over the world.

Because after seeing the Thunder's trading chips, people felt that the Thunder management had gone completely crazy.

That's their team soul Russell Westbrook! !

Even when Durant left the Thunder, Westbrook did not choose to leave, but now they traded Westbrook themselves! ?

The mysterious operations of the team management also made many Thunder fans dissatisfied.

"Look who the front office traded? Russell!? Um.... F**K!"

"Why trade Westbrook!?"

"With Westbrook gone, who are we going to look to?!"

"Damn management, are you out of your mind?"

But the truth is not what the fans think.

After Paul George requested a trade, the team's general manager contacted Westbrook as soon as possible.

Do you want to stay in the team?

The departure of his "good brother" again also broke Westbrook's heart.

After considering many aspects, Westbrook also submitted his trade request to the team management.

After learning about Westbrook's request for a trade, the Thunder management assured him that they would send him to the team he wanted to go to.

finally

Clippers owner Ballmer personally came out and showed Westbrook the team's greatest sincerity.

In addition, West and Ye Huan also envisioned a scene of the two of them working together to Westbrook.

After a brief consideration, Westbrook chose to join the Clippers!

According to the original timeline

Westbrook should have been traded to the Houston Rockets this year.

But the emergence of the Los Angeles Clippers forced Westbrook to make changes.

The moment the deal is officially done!

Experts carefully analyzed the trade between the two teams.

They found that the Los Angeles Clippers were undoubtedly the one that made the most money.

Not only did they get a superstar, they also got Robertson, Grant and Adams, three strong players.

The addition of these three players has greatly improved the Clippers on both offense and defense next season.

Especially their defense!

Although they lost Beverley, Robertson and Grant's defensive abilities are not bad at all, which also leads to unexpected results when they face front-line teams such as the Suns and Lakers.

For the Thunder.

They traded away all the players in last season's starting lineup during the offseason. The team not only acquired the potential player Deandre Ayton, but also has a large number of draft picks in the future.

There is no doubt that the next decade belonging to the Oklahoma City Thunder has officially begun!

However, West's time to perform is far from over.

In the free market

He first re-signed Anthony with an 8 million dollar middle-class contract.

Then, they signed the sharpshooter Bogdanovic with a two-year contract worth 40 million euros.

Then they signed Derrick Rose, Rudy Gay and Dekumar Cousins ​​with three veteran minimum salaries!

So far

The Los Angeles Clippers' lineup for the new season has been officially formed!

Head coach: Tyronn Lue

Assistant coach: Doug Reeves

Point guard: Westbrook, Rose, Jordan Puer

Shooting guard: Ye Huan, Grace Allen, Mann, Lou Williams

Small forward: Anthony, Bogdanovic, Robertson

Power forward: Jerami Grant, Rudy Gay
