NBA: Two reinforcement targets of the Clippers? One person is expected to leave the team, and Harden s whereabouts are to be determined

The East and West have had two matches in the second round of the NBA playoff semi-finals. The result of the game showed the same trend. The East and West have both matches 2:0, and the West has both matches 1:1. Relatively speaking, the West seems more stalemate. For teams that are still in the playoffs, how to ensure the integrity of the lineup, win more games, and go further in the future is their main goal. For teams that have been eliminated, it is to enjoy the holidays and prepare for the new season. There has been further news from the Clippers. With a few days after being eliminated, the team had already revealed their subsequent reinforcement goals and potential players who might leave the team. Let's take a look together. NBA: The Clippers' reinforcement goal is released, one person is expected to leave the team, and Harden's whereabouts are to be determined.

In the first round of the showdown, the Clippers and the Nuggets were in a stalemate until the tiebreak, but in the end, they suffered a big loss in the tiebreak and were eliminated. Another stop in the first round was not able to go further in the playoffs. The team's shortcomings in this round of the series have also been exposed more fully, such as the team's inside line, such as seeking a player who can organize. It is worth mentioning that Simmons' performance in this playoffs was not ideal. He averaged 8 minutes of playing time and could only score 0.8 points, 1.4 rebounds and 0.8 assists, which did not meet the expectations that the team wanted to sign.

Clippers' team record Law Murray revealed in the Clippers' offseason preview that Ben Simmons is not expected to return to the Clippers unless he says he is willing to re-sign at a very low price. There are also a lot of discussions about Ben Simmons' next home, namely the Celtics, the Knicks, the Cavaliers, the Heat and other teams. Which team do you think Simmons will go to?

In addition, the team's potential reinforcement goals have also been exposed. The reporter revealed that Brogden will be a main target of the Clippers. The Clippers wanted to trade Brogden before. If Brogden was bought out before, the Clippers would consider signing him. Brogden's salary this past season was $22.5 million, and he averaged 12.7 points, 3.8 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game in the regular season. At 1.93 meters, he has an advantage in height, and when he gets shooting space, he has excellent shooting performance, which meets the Clippers' expectations for strengthening. Of course, he has been troubled by injuries in recent seasons and has been quite ups and downs. If the team strives to sign him, what needs to be considered is his potential injury risks.

In addition, according to US reporter Yossi Gozlan Tomato, the Clippers have another player who may sign, that is Linsko. He said he thinks the Clippers have a full chance to get him without giving too much chips. If they use the 30-pick pick in the first round of 25 years plus a young player on a rookie contract as their main bargaining chip, they will basically be able to get Collins.

Of course, this is just the potential pursuit of reinforcement goals exposed by the reporter. For the Clippers, one of the things they need to do before completing the reinforcement signing is to determine the trends of their players first. One of the players that has attracted much attention is Harden. The Clippers president also said that the primary goal of the offseason is to discuss their contract player options with Harden and Batum, and make subsequent arrangements based on their decisions.

Harden averaged 18.7 points, 5.4 rebounds, 9.1 assists, 1.3 steals and 1 block in the playoffs. His performance was pretty good, but his sluggish performance in the 7-game showdown made him push him to the forefront again. Harden's stay and whether to stay in the offseason remains to be determined, and there is no news about Harden himself yet. Law Murray said Harden was likely to refuse to execute the $36.35 million player option, and renegotiated a contract with the Clippers to continue to partner with Xiaoka.

Whether Harden will continue to stay at the Clippers will be waiting and seen. Do you think there will be big moves in the Clippers' lineup adjustment in the offseason?
