The Los Angeles Clippers acquired Bradley Beal. He was sluggish in the Phoenix Suns, but he is still a competitive shooting guard in the league.
His scoring ability is still there.
The Los Angeles Clippers are still competitive in the West, focusing on the big three of Kawhi Leonard, James Harden, and Ibacha Jubachi. Bringing Bill made the roster thicker.
It doesn't stop there. I'm aiming for Chris Paul.
ESPN reported on the 20th (Korea time) that LA Clippers President Lawrence Frank is strongly considering a possible reunion with former franchise star and legendary point guard Chris Paul after recruiting Bradley Beal.
The media reported that Chris Paul, a 20-year veteran, is an FA. The Los Angeles Clippers want to add more ball handlers, and Chris Paul is the most likely candidate for recruitment.
Speaking to local media, Frank said 'What I want to say to Chris Paul is that he is a great player. He obviously has some of the qualities we are looking for. We are strongly considering (the recruitment)."
The Los Angeles Clippers are the most active team in the offseason. Bradley Beal signed a two-year, $11 million contract that includes player options. I brought in John Collins. James Harden agreed to a two-year, $81.5 million contract. Brooke Lopez has also been recruited. It is a two-year, $18 million contract. If Chris Paul is added to this, the Los Angeles Clippers roster has a strong competitive edge.
Paul, who entered the NBA as the fourth-ranked player in the first round in 2005, was the New Orleans Hornets' flagship point guard. He played for the Los Angeles Clippers from 2011 to 2017.
He established himself as the absolute ace of the Los Angeles Clippers by creating fantastic highlights with Blake Griffin. Since then, he has solidified his position as the best point guard in the league. In other words, the team legend's chances of returning after eight years have increased.
It reminds me of the Los Angeles Lakers' Ring Expedition in the 2003-2004 season. The Los Angeles Lakers, where Shaquille O'Neill and Kobe Bryant made a one-two punch, were the best players in the league at the time, but Carl Malone and Gary Payton, who did not have a winning ring, joined them. But in the end, the championship failed. He made it to the final, but was disbanded after losing to the Detroit Pistons.
