Why is it wise to say that the Clippers trade Powell?

Looking at the Los Angeles Clippers management's signing operations this summer, perhaps this is probably the first time that thousands of Clippers fans feel that their home team has become a real Galaxy battleship!

The Clippers are ready for the first time, but they only need the east wind!

Perhaps when the war rekinds next season, as long as you stay healthy, there will be a place for the Clippers on the finals stage in June next year!

The Clippers' three major priorities this offseason are undoubtedly to improve the frontcourt, improve ball control and shooting ability. The team's trading of Powell is undoubtedly the source of all this.

Even though Powell played his best career season last season, he averaged 21.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.2 breaks, and his three-point shooting percentage was as high as 41.8%, which once became the biggest bead of All-Stars...

But it is obvious that the Clippers did not lose money in trading Powell, but it is commendable.

The Clippers need to increase the height of the frontcourt, so they successfully signed power forward John Collins, who is in contract year in the new season.

And Bill is undoubtedly a better shooter, better ball handler and a organizer than Powell.

Perhaps it is more worthy of being targeted than signing a targeted position, the Clippers letting Powell go, isn't it?

I think, in addition to Powell facing renewal of the contract and the Clippers undoubtedly offer him a generous contract, another reason for the Clippers to trade Powell is to follow this logic -

The playoffs are originally a touchstone for a player's ability to play tough battles. If his performance in the playoffs is poor or even sluggish, he will obviously not be suitable to continue to stay in the camp when the next season comes again!

The Clippers were eliminated early in the first round last season, and Powell was to blame!

In other words, Powell's contribution to the team is more focused on the offensive end, and more on the attack when facing weak teams. Once he faces the powerful, Powell is immediately beaten back to his original form...

Look at last season's playoffs and the Nuggets series, how many times Powell was easily passed by his opponent on the defensive end, and he is definitely a big colander on the defensive end...

Therefore, his efficiency plummeted in the high-end game of the playoffs, and his scores shrank significantly to 16 points. This is not without reason.

Even though Powell's assists reached his career last season and averaged 2.1 assists per game, he still couldn't compare to Bill, whose assists hit an eight-year low!

Last season, Bill averaged 3.7 assists per game, which was the lowest in the past eight years.

It is worth mentioning that during Bill's 13-year NBA career, he averaged at least 2.4 assists per game per season.

When Bill joined, the Clippers are aimed at the championship with a wing. The team's new season's lineup is as follows:

defenders: Harden, Bill, Chris Dunn, Bogdan Bogdanovic, Cameron Christie, Kobe Sanders (two-way);

Forwards: Leonard, Batum, Derek Jones Jr., Baldwin (two-way), Kobe Brown, Flowers (two-way);

Centers: Zubac, Collins, Dallas, and Needhauser.
