As long as the Clippers go to Lopez, Harden can only maintain the playoffs, and the team may not be interested in winning the championship

On July 1, according to the report of NBA famous reporter Shams, the Los Angeles Clippers have reached a two-year, $18 million contract with Lopez and will join the Clippers in the new season. The Clippers' signing did not bring much expectations to fans. After all, Lopez's age has increased, and how much condition is still a question mark. Although Lopez was able to deliver 13 points, 5 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game last season with the Bucks, I don’t know how much fuel I need to come to the Clippers.

The Clippers currently have not had many operations except for renewing Harden and signing with Lopez, which really makes many fans anxious. The renewal of Harden is to ensure the team's playoffs. After all, last season has proved that Harden can ensure the team's lower limit to enter the playoffs. But if you want to go further, the team still needs to sign ups, especially the Clippers' No. 4 position. However, Lopez has good shooting ability and a first-hand three-pointer ability, which can be used as a number four, but defense still requires a real number four.

The Clippers have not had too many operations so far. Rumor has it that they will introduce a substitute point guard to Harden, with the candidate Paul or Brogdon, and the team has not started to talk. If the Clippers develop at the pace, they probably won't be able to introduce better players later. It seems that the team only wants to keep the quota in the playoffs and have no intention of winning the championship. The Clippers' current plan is to let Harden and Cardo play for two years, and then the contract expires together, free up salary space, and the team enters reconstruction.

What many people don't understand is that in the past few seasons, the team has been willing to invest, but now it is not willing to invest too much. The once luxurious lineup of Harden, Xiao Ka and George is now only Xiao Ka and Harden, and other positions are all repaired. It seems that they are really unintentional to win the championship.
