After losing in the tiebreak, the Clippers were officially eliminated. In fact, in this round of series, the Clippers are not without opportunities, but the Nuggets are the team with better tactics and player performance. After the Clippers were eliminated, the season officially ended and they entered the offseason. After the Clippers are out, we might as well make some guesses and predict what will happen. Of course, this is just a personal prediction and guess. Whether it will happen depends on the development of things.
The first guess is that Harden wants to get the maximum salary. As we all know, Harden is the offseason this year, and he can choose to jump out of the contract. With Harden's current age and his regular season performance, Harden's chances of jumping out of the contract are extremely likely, and he will also have to be able to get the maximum salary. In fact, for Harden now, whether he wins the championship or not is no longer important. Being able to get a big contract like George in the later stage of his career is actually a winner in life.
The second guess is that the championship window is closed. For the Clippers, the chances this season are actually very good. The lineup is relatively reasonable, and Leonard is also healthy, but he just fell in the first round. Now after being eliminated in the first round, the Clippers' championship window has officially closed. On the one hand, it is because the core players have grown older, and on the other hand, there is more uncertainty next season. So, the Clippers will only play the playoffs at most in the future.
The third conjecture, three people left the Clippers. As for the current contract of the Clippers, Mills, Simmons and Coffey have expired, and the possibility of leaving the Clippers is not without. Mills is already an existence on the edge of the bench and has no value anymore. As for Simmons and Coffey, Coffey was abandoned in the playoffs, and Simmons did not play any value. Considering the actual situation of the Clippers, if they leave the team, don’t be surprised.
The fourth conjecture, Tyron Lue was dismissed. As the team's coach, Tyron Lue was quite passive in this round of the series and was always played by the Nuggets coach. Not to mention other games, just take G7 as an example. When the Nuggets are behind, they will make targeted adjustments. On the other hand, Tyron Lue had no move after falling behind, so he showed one-sidedness. In fact, the Clippers need to change their ideas, and Tyron Lu has no growth point in the Clippers.
In general, the Clippers have reached a crossroads now. In fact, the Clippers have another option, which is to push down and rebuild. However, if the Clippers push down and rebuild, it will be difficult for the players in their hands to take action. Leonard has a crispy intestine, and only Zubac has a certain trading value. In any case, the Clippers are very sloppy this season, and this is actually a footnote to the Clippers players. Let’s see what changes the Clippers will make during the offseason.
