1. He didn't pay high-quality chips (Robinson, ranked 13, didn't play his due potential for two years).
2. perfectly intercept the deadly enemy in the same city!
3. The salary has not been greatly increased.
The two teams in Los Angeles are the most dazzling teams in the western region. After the deal, the Clippers can use Leonard, George and Morris to consume James, Morris can use three or four, and they can also use a few more Davies!
The above article represents personal views, and everyone is welcome to taste it. What do you think of the clippers deal? Is it almost perfect?
I want to say that Leonard is not Durant, George is not Curry, Mao Mao is not Clay Thompson, Morris is not Iguodala, and Beverly is not as good as Green! However, it's just that they imagine themselves as soldiers. There must be an ending, but it depends on who dominates the ending. I think it's too early to draw a conclusion! Speaking of Leonard, it seems that he became the savior of the NBA overnight. Some people say that he has surpassed James, and some people say that the team with him will win the championship. I want to say why no one has considered his lucky ingredient. Playing in the Spurs era was not as fancy as it is now. Relying on the strength of Spurs' GDP and Popovich's excellent guidance, it is not surprising that he won several championships. It's different now. Even if he helped the Raptors win the championship last year, I think everyone knows the result of the Warriors' lack of soldiers! Saying this is not to question that Leonard is not good, but that he is not as fantastic as you brag! Idolization should be calm and rational, not blind! ! ! ! !
The recent trading before the trading deadline can be called art by Clippers management. They pushed the deal to the last minute, successfully won little Morris, and the Lakers lost all the opportunities to sign and trade. In this arms race, the Clippers management strategized and showed good teamwork. After getting little Morris, they have almost no rivals in the west, but they don't have the absolute strength to rule the east, so it's still a little early for the finale.
First, the Lakers are the Clippers' main rivals in the West.
Although the Lakers currently rank first in the West, they have an obvious weakness, that is, they lack the defensive ability of the front line. This season, the Lakers suffered a crushing defeat in the face of the Clippers, Raptors, Celtics, Bucks and other teams with strong frontlines, as well as the pioneers and mosaic teams that strengthened the frontlines. It shows that the Lakers will be limited in both offensive and defensive ends when facing a strong front team.
The Lakers are the Clippers' biggest rivals in the West, but the Clippers' excellent operation on the trading deadline makes them have a greater advantage than the Lakers in lineup structure. Although the Clippers won the first two games of this season, they did not show an overwhelming advantage. After the Clippers got little Morris, he was able to successfully upgrade the Clippers' No.4 position. The Clippers can rule out the main lineup of Beverly, George, Leonard, Morris Jr. and Zubac. Except for Zubac, they all have the strength to limit James alone. James is the main starting point of the Lakers' attack, but he is 35 years old. Under the defense of four top forwards, it is almost impossible to keep the audience efficient. Davis, another superstar of the Lakers, does not have the ability to hold the ball and throw the ball in the middle and long distance, so the Clippers' front line group is fully capable of limiting the impact of the Lakers giants on the restricted area.
The Clippers also have an advantage on the offensive end. The Lakers' lineup, especially the rotation lineup, is two big and three small. The Clippers' forward team has a physical advantage over the Lakers' guards, and there are two or three advantages. Caruso, Bradley, and Popper are all excellent defenders, but the effect of defending forwards one size older than them is definitely not good.
The Clippers also have the advantage of being a substitute. In addition to the Ruha combination that scared the league, after Maurice Jr joined, shooter Shmet returned to the bench, further enhancing the combat effectiveness of Clippers' bench. Recently, it has been reported that the Clippers will also pursue guard Kelly Sen, whom the Lakers are pursuing. Once they succeed, it will be another advantage. For the Clippers management headed by Jerry West, this is always worth our expectation.
Second, the Clippers' other main rival in the west is Mosaic.
Mosaic successfully traded 3D top striker Covernton before the deadline. This allowed them to line up five small teams, Shao Wei, Harden, Gordon, Covernton and Tucker. In today's game, Mosaic successfully defeated the No.1 Lakers in the West with this lineup, showing good competitiveness. Clippers and Mosaic have played three times this season, and Mosaic has some advantages in two wins and one loss.
The Clippers' lineup also has a weakness, that is, their front line is relatively at a disadvantage in the face of short and fast defenders. Mosaic's Shao Wei and Gordon are both this type of guards, and Harden's rhythm is excellent, which makes the Clippers easily troubled by fouls and lose.
After mosaic is introduced into Covington, the offensive end can completely open up the space on the court, which is conducive to the breakthrough of Shao Wei, Harden and Gordon. And once the ball is divided, Mosaic five people all have good three-point ability. Therefore, from a tactical point of view, the threat of mosaic to the Clippers is not worse than that of the first Lakers in the West.
However, mosaic also has a problem, that is, the rotation lineup is relatively small, except for five small ones, which has a great disadvantage compared with the Clippers. For the playoffs, mosaic foul tactics will also be limited, because the playoffs encourage physical confrontation. Therefore, it is not a big problem for the Clippers to win the mosaic in seven games and four wins.
Third, the threat of other teams to the Clippers.
Other teams pose less threat to the Clippers, and the Clippers have obvious advantages against their lineup. Jazz, Nuggets and Lone Rangers are unlikely to threaten the mighty Clippers in the playoffs.
The first is money.
Bucks are the Clippers' biggest rival in the East and the first team in the league at present. The Clippers' two meetings with Bucks this season ended in failure. The biggest problem facing the Bucks is that the Clippers can't limit Brother Xin on the offensive end, and once Brother Xin is double-teamed, the Bucks' shooters will give the Clippers a fatal blow.
Unlike last season's Raptors, Leonard can lead Brother Alphabet, because the Raptors' organizations are Lori and Van Frith, and there are top meat shields like Gasol under the basket to limit Brother Alphabet. The Clippers didn't have an excellent organizer this season, so Leonard had to hold the ball. In this case, Leonard obviously can't dominate the letter brother's defense. For the inside protection, Zubac and harel are not as good as the combination of Gasol and Ibaka last season.
On the defensive end, Bucks are mostly talented players from the main force to the bench, so it is difficult to form a local counterpoint advantage in several offensive points of the Clippers on the offensive end. Organizationally, Bucks have two engines, bledsoe and george hill, so that the bench headed by Lu Wei can't take advantage of Bucks' bench advantage. So the second clippers lost to the Bucks. This time, the Clippers brought little Morris, whose body is barely comparable to that of Brother Alphabet, and perhaps the defensive effect will be better. Moreover, Morris Jr.' s three-point shooting percentage is better than hax's, which helps the Clippers to open up the offensive space. So it's not impossible for the Clippers to beat the Bucks.
Second, the heat.
With the introduction of Iguodala and Claude, the defensive ability of the Heat's front line has been obviously improved. In addition, the Heat is already a force to be reckoned with in the east. However, it is hard to say whether the Heat can break through the Bucks, so the chances of the Clippers meeting the Heat in the finals are still relatively small.
Third, the Celtics and the Raptors.
These are strong teams, but it's almost boring to compete for the championship. And like the Heat, the Bucks will be a mountain they can't climb in the finals.
Summary: By comparison, it is not difficult to find that, at least from the current situation of the lineup, it is a high probability event for the Clippers to rush out of the west. For the bucks in the east, it's 50-50, so the Clippers have a great chance of winning the championship. But there are many unexpected factors in the competition, depending on the final result. So the finale is still a little early.
Before the closing of the trading market on February 7, Beijing time, the Clippers once again showed their magical operation. Through the three-way transaction, Hackles+second round 202 1 year+protected first round 202 1 year+Robinson, who averaged 5.5 points per game, were sent away, and the "strongest" little Morris and Thomas were obtained. Among them, Morris of the Knicks undoubtedly benefited the most. Since joining the Knicks, the former Celtics power forward has averaged 19.5 points, 5.4 rebounds 1.4 assists, shooting 43.9% from three points and averaging 2.7 three points per game.
The clippers' front line combination is too explosive. Imagine Leonard+paul george+Morris. If Leonard and George are double-teamed, they can choose to pass the ball to Morris, and with his three-point shooting percentage, this tactic is invincible. Moreover, Morris's defensive ability is also good. Before that, he was in charge of defending James in the Green Army, making him suffer.
Originally, the Lakers were also chasing Morris, but the Knicks wanted Kuzma and Jenny wouldn't let them, so the Clippers robbed Morris first. On the other hand, the Lakers have no movement in the trading market, and fans can't help but ridicule: Is this the end of the league? Los Angeles Derby Lakers will be abused!
Next, the Clippers should start with Cam, George, Beverly, Zubac, Morris, and bench bandits harel and Reid. This lineup is really luxurious. Apart from James' thick eyebrows, the Lakers lack a stable third scoring point. Look at Kuzma's recent performance. I don't know if it's the finale, but the Lakers' encounter with the Clippers in the playoffs will definitely have no good result.
The Clippers beat the Lakers again in the battle for Morris.
Because they didn't want to trade Danny Green for many rounds, the Lakers had to watch the Clippers take Morris home with Hackles, one draft and two draft.
It seems that the Clippers want to continue the league finale that the Warriors didn't finish singing last season!
The Clippers seem to have spent a lot of money to get Morris, but the fact is that they are almost empty-handed.
Hackles was given by the Trailblazers for nothing (the Clippers only helped to eat space), and the Heat also gave the Clippers a start (George used it in the trade), so it was equivalent to rotating Morris again and again. Father West is really something!
After Morris arrived, the Clippers decided to let him play the starting line-up.
As a result, the Clippers' starter became Beverly+George+Leonard+Morris+Zubac. Except for Zubac inside, everyone else's defense is the best in the league. Coupled with Lu Wei and harel's bench gang, it seems that the Clippers really have some ambitions to eat into a big fat man!
Morris replaced Hackles, allowing the Clippers to send a lineup with a balanced space and offense. Morris's body can cooperate with the heavy wing, and then liberate the more defensive players and put them in a cooperative position.
Imagine using him to defend the James-type front line, let Leonard and George enter the sweeping defensive position, and the Clippers get Morris. It can be said that it not only solves the space problem at the fourth position, but also relieves the defensive pressure of Leonard and George.
This deal of empty gloves and white wolves is perfect, and it is also an ingenious stroke in West's resume!
But it is still too early to talk about the finale, the running-in problems of the team, injuries and so on, which have no less influence on the championship than the strength of the team itself!
Last season's Warriors were the best warning, but from now on, the Clippers do have some great chances to win the championship this season!
On June 5th, 20 17, Jerry West joined the Los Angeles Clippers as a team consultant. I have to admire West's excellent team planning and construction. In the summer of 20 19, he won Cowell Leonard and paul george without any big loss in the team's big frame. In just two seasons, the Clippers became champions.
Before the players' trading deadline, the Clippers completed the trading again: the Clippers sent Jerome Robinson, Maurice Hackles, the first round signing in 2020, the first round signing swap right of 202 1 and the second round signing of 202 1 Pistons, and won isiah thomas and marcus morris.
The main purpose of clipper trading is to get Morris. It's not that Hackles is not good enough, but compared with Morris, Hackles still has some shortcomings. Morris can contribute 19. 1 5.4 rebounds 1.4 assists per game this season. Of course, Morris has the right to shoot in the Knicks, and the data is definitely better. However, he can average 2.7 3-pointers and hit 43.9%. After 43 games, it is proved that Morris is stable outside the three-point line, while Hackles's hit rate is only 37%, which is somewhat inferior.
After getting Morris, the Clippers' front line is even stronger, and they can even send all the front lines. This kind of defense is real and scary. Most importantly, the Clippers' operation virtually weakened the Lakers and achieved the effect of substitution. Before the trade deadline, the Lakers also want to supplement their front line by trading. Their goal was Morris, but now they are defeated by the Clippers. The Clippers have plenty of reserves in the front line, but the Lakers have not been replenished. Isn't this a gain and a loss?
However, it is still a little early to talk about the Clippers championship. There are still about 30 games in the regular season, and every round of the playoffs is full of challenges. Only by playing every game in a down-to-earth manner can the Clippers hope to have the last laugh. Until then, we should continue to work hard and improve.

The Clippers beat the Lakers in a row this season, and still compete with the Lakers for Morris even though the team is very strong. Finally, they sent off hax and Robinson, and got Thomas and little Morris. The Clippers didn't lose any excellent players when they got Morris. It can be said that the strength of the Clippers has greatly improved with the arrival of Morris.
The Clippers just sent out Robinson and hax in their rookie days, and got Morris and Thomas Jr. Morris played against James in the playoffs when he was with the Celtics. Now the Clippers introduced Morris, obviously for the playoffs. Moreover, as a forward of the Clippers, Hackles's scoring ability can't be compared with that of Morris, so the Clippers' strength has been obviously improved after getting Morris.
The Lakers also want Morris. The Clippers got Morris without much cost, which not only improved their own strength, but also reduced the strength of their opponents. If the Lakers can get Morris, then the Lakers' forward strength will be obviously improved. And James can get more rest in the game. After the Clippers intercepted Humoris, the Lakers lost a chance to reinforce. If the two teams meet in the playoffs, the deal will have some impact.
Although the Clippers get Thomas Jr., they will choose to cut Thomas Jr. and then chase Kelly Sen, who is the target of the Lakers' plan to sign. After the Clippers get Morris, the team can send Leonard, George, Morris, Beverly and Zubac to the starting lineup. There are three strikers in this lineup, all of whom can attack and defend well. Beverly is also an excellent defensive player, and the overall performance of the Clippers will be promoted to a new height.
The most important thing is that the Clippers will chase Kelly Sen. The Clippers always win in the competition with the Lakers this season. If the Clippers successfully sign Kelly Sen again, the Clippers may win the championship this season. Will something big happen after the Lakers lose to the Clippers many times?
At present, the door of the NBA trade deadline has been closed, and all teams take this opportunity to complete the reinforcement in the middle of the season. As a western powerhouse, the Los Angeles Clippers did not stop moving forward. It is reported that the Clippers, the Knicks and the Wizards have completed a whistle-blowing transaction, specifically: the Clippers sent Robinson to the Wizards, sent hax and a first-round draft pick in 2020 to the Knicks, and won marcus morris and isiah thomas. It can be said that this wave of trading clippers. Perhaps the most regrettable thing is the signing of the first round in 2020, but getting two effective players will really increase the chips for the team's overall championship strength.
From the line-up, Hackles is the rotation player of the Clippers' front end, and Morris, as a "fighting force" front line with more scoring ability, was once a player of all teams and was finally won by the Clippers. Obviously, Morris's scoring ability is stronger than hax's, and the Clippers are accumulating strength for the playoffs; In fact, the Los Angeles Lakers always wanted Morris, but it was finally won by the Clippers, the biggest rival in the city. The Lakers have always wanted to find a qualified replacement for James so that James can have a good rest. I believe that the main purpose of the Clippers' introduction of Morris is to prepare for the playoffs against the Lakers.
In addition, Thomas Jr. is a master of rhythm and a strongman in chaos, but at present, the Clippers may choose to cut Thomas Jr. to pursue Kelly Sen. It is reported that Kelly Sen is also the goal of the Lakers. The Clippers' front line has been strengthened again, but the Lakers' front line is gone. It can be said that the Clippers have gained some strength in this reinforced lineup, and James can only look at the improvement of the Clippers lineup and want to cry. If the Clippers get Kelly Sen through operation, the overall strength of the Clippers will be improved again. This season, the Lakers have repeatedly lost to the Clippers. If they meet in the playoffs, I believe the Clippers will have greater psychological advantage and home court advantage, and the NBA will end early? What do you think of this?

In this transaction, the Clippers beat the Lakers again to become the winner. The Lakers competed with Morris, who wanted Kuzma, but the Lakers regarded Kuzma as not for sale, and finally the Lakers withdrew their offer. What is surprising is the action of the clippers.
In many previous reports, the Clippers competed with Morris only to raise the offer, thus preventing the Lakers from getting Morris, but now West has got forward Morris through a three-way deal. New york Knicks traded Marcus Morris to the Los Angeles Clippers, and got the draft right of Maurice hax and Clippers in 2020, the first round exchange right of 202 1 with Clippers and the second round draft right of 202 1 Pistons. I have to say that the strength of the Clippers has once again risen to a higher level. It is said that the Clippers will make Morris the starting power forward, so the starting lineup of the Clippers will be Beverly, Leonard, George, Morris and Zubac.
Judging from the strength of the current league, the Western Conference will probably be the Lakers and Clippers. Although the Lakers have an inside advantage, this advantage is not obvious in essence. After all, James has reached the end of his career. Davis can't chisel in every time. Howard's ability to protect the frame is better, but his personal offensive ability is too poor. How Cousins' state is still unknown. Another main reason for the Lakers is the instability of substitute players.
On the other hand, after getting Morris, the Clippers are more powerful in the front line. This advantage can make the whole league proud. If you play against the Lakers, the Clippers can choose too many points and score too many points. For example, leonard, George and Morris will start, and Harley and Luvi will be substitutes.
Judging from the current lineup, the Clippers' chances of winning the championship are much higher than those of the Lakers, but the height of bucks players is also of concern to the Clippers. Many fans believe that the Bucks, both inside and outside, are the favorite teams to win the championship.

Now all the transactions in the NBA have come to an end. On the last day of trading, the Clippers reached a tripartite deal with the Knicks and Wizards, and got marcus morris and Thomas Jr., except Thomas Jr., and Morris was a hot general. But in my opinion, even if the Clippers are outnumbered, it's too early to say it's over.
The Clippers want marcus morris in July this year. The Clippers are very interested in him. They know who is suitable for Cowie Leonard and paul george, so they seek a deal to get him again. Mockel has played 25 games for the Knicks this season, averaging 18.7 points, 5.8 rebounds 1.4 assists. I have to say that the joining of Mockers has increased the overall strength of the Clippers by an order of magnitude.
George and Leonard averaged more than 20 points per game, and Mockers and the two of them were simply in the top three. The Clippers' three fronts can be said to be invincible, but the Clippers have no advantage in the interior. The Lakers and Bucks have more advantages in the paint than the Clippers, so it is still difficult to beat them. Therefore, winning the championship has not been written yet.
In addition, there must be a lot of running-in for new players to join. And these three players are all first-team players. How to distribute the ball rights and let them play a powerful role is the first problem to be solved by Clippers. Players will not play better on the court if they don't run in well. If they run in well, they will be stronger when they are strong, and the strength of the team will be better.
