The Clippers first transaction is accurate and the big center is perfectly adapted

The Clippers' deal has finally opened. Incredibly, the first deal actually made the fans feel that there was no sense of incongruity. The transaction was so silky, as if it was a natural thing. According to well-known media reports, the Clippers have reached a two-year contract with free agent Brooke Lopez. The Clippers' move this time is stable, accurate and ruthless. You should know that the brother-in-law, who is in urgent need of center but does not have much salary space, has been looking forward to Lopez for a long time. As a result, the Clippers intercepted it.

The Clippers' first transaction target this time was big center free agent Dalo Brooke Lopez, which made fans cheer. This deal should really give General Manager Frank a great contribution. Lopez is the former champion center of the Bucks! Although he is 37 years old, he is still as strong as the Bucks last season!

You should know that Lopez is about the same height and weight as Zubac. He is a scarce space-type center in the league now. Moreover, Lopez has not suffered any major injuries in his career, rarely missed the regular season, and has a very high attendance rate. The tough style of the game is very similar to Zubac, and he has strong ability to protect the frame and eat cakes under the basket. Even better than Zubac is the outside three-pointer with a 37% shooting percentage. Last season, he averaged 13 points, 5 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.9 blocks per game.

This transaction finally perfectly strengthened the Clippers' thin inside line. Zubac finally welcomed his stable substitute. While increasing the Clippers' inside height, it also makes the Clippers' offensive tactical choices more at the basket. Despite his age and slow pace, he is still more than enough to be a reliable substitute for Zubac. Especially under the organization of Harden, the passer master, Lopez may regain his second spring again. At the same time, with Lopez's efficient "eating cake" ability, Harden's assist data in the new season will be greatly improved, and he is expected to win the championship of the league's assist king again.

Some fans jokingly claimed that the Clippers' "nutritional home" was opened again, which is not a false statement. In fact, signing Lopez was also a helpless move by the Clippers management. The Clippers' recruitment targets are Capela, Cornett and Lopez. Lopez, 37, is not the Clippers' first choice. After Capela returned to the Rockets and Connet was signed by the Spurs, the Clippers could only choose Lopez to avoid making any achievements.

This transaction also reflects that the Clippers management has indeed begun to strengthen itself in the true sense after getting Harden. This is also a reassurance for Harden. The conclusion of this deal was a strong signal from the Clippers management: in the next two years, the Clippers will begin to truly strengthen their efforts to win the championship. If the championship cannot be won within two years, the Clippers management will not hesitate to knock it down and rebuild it. The contracts of core players such as Leonard will expire and convert them into transaction salary space.

Next, the Clippers need to find a qualified backup point guard and a powerful power forward for Harden. "Old Cannon" Chris Paul is eager to return. If the Clippers can recall Paul again, the "Calling Cannon" combination will reappear on the court after many years and write a legend in the league again. After the deal is concluded, the Clippers still have $5.3 million in mini middle class space. If the internal center Eubanks trades for 4.8 million US dollars, the Clippers can still have room to strengthen the shortcomings of the No. 4 position.

At present, all teams in the Western Conference are actively strengthening. There is no big problem with the Clippers' current lineup entering the playoffs. After all, it is a group of experienced veterans. However, if you want to win the championship further, the difficulty is still quite large. The biggest problem is that the team is older and physical fitness in the playoffs will be a huge test. The loss after playing against the Nuggets last season was more about the failure caused by Leonard and Harden being too old to lack physical reserves.

How to adjust the physical fitness of veterans in the new season will be a huge challenge and test for head coach Tyron Lue.
