The Los Angeles Clippers lost a bit frustrated this season and were a little unwilling to accept it because they lost to the Nuggets in the tiebreak, and the Nuggets lost to the Thunder in the tiebreak. All the league knows that the Thunder team has the best record in the league and the strongest lineup. Sure enough, the Thunder easily eliminated the Timberwolves and entered the finals. This shows that the three teams, including the Clippers, Nuggets and Thunder, are all very strong in lineups. The core players of the Clippers' lineup: Leonard, Harden, Zubac and Powell, the only short position is that the starting No. 4 position (power forward) is not strong enough.

Generally speaking, Jones Jr. or Dunn of the Clippers plays the starting No. 4 position, which is indeed a bit too much. Jones Jr. and Dunn are not tall, and they are not capable of rebounding. Jones Jr. is fine, his defense is good, but his three-point shooting percentage is only 30% in the playoffs, which is quite inaccurate. Dunn has strong defensive ability, but he is weak in offense and is even weaker in three-pointers. Dunn made 1 of 9 shots in a single game in the playoffs, shocking Clippers fans. In fact, if the three-point shooting percentage of Jones Jr., Dunn and Bogdan in this year's playoffs, the Clippers should be able to beat the Nuggets.

This offseason, the most important reinforcement task for the Clippers should be to find players at the starting No. 4 position. If you have a powerful power forward (both offense and defense, good rebounding), and partner with Zubac + Leonard + Harden + Powell, this starting lineup will be perfect. US media ESPN expert reporter wrote an article to analyze that the Clippers' best to fine-tune the lineup during the offseason (because their original lineup is relatively good), strengthen a strong starting power forward, partner with Zubac, form a double tower, and help Leonard and Harden compete for the championship together.

NBA reporter latest report, Timberwolves substitute inside Naz Reed holds a player option worth $15.02 million. This summer, he has the right to choose to jump out of the contract and test the waters of the free market. Reed is expected to be the target of many championship teams in the league. During the offseason this summer, Reed is eligible to sign a four-year, $87.2 million early contract renewal with the Timberwolves. However, Reed wanted a big contract worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and at the same time, he always wanted a position and opportunity to start playing. Therefore, Reed expects to test the free market and the league will have teams providing him with a high-quality contract.

Clippers reporters believe that if Reed becomes a free agent, the Clippers should sign Reed first this summer offseason. The Clippers can provide him with a four-year, $110 million contract. At the same time, the Clippers can also promise to give him a starting power forward position. The Timberwolves started Gobert and Randall, so Reed could only play as a substitute all the time, but even if he played as a substitute, Reed's data and performance were very good. He had a height, offense, three-pointers, and defense, so he was a relatively comprehensive player. Just imagine, Zubac and Reed form a double tower in the interior, and the Clippers are extremely dominant in the interior scoring, defense and rebounding.

This season's regular season, Reed scored 14.2 points + 6 rebounds + 2.3 assists + 1.0 blocks as a substitute, with a shooting percentage of 47% and a three-point shooting percentage of 37.9% (quite good). Reed plays in the playoffs, averaging 10.4 points + 4.7 rebounds + 1.7 assists + 0.9 blocks per game, shooting 50.9% from the field and 39.7% from three-point shooting (very good efficiency). Clippers fans of course hope that Ballmer spent money to poach Reed to create a more perfect starting lineup and continue to win the championship. Both the Lakers and the Warriors want to get inside players like Reed. He can only play as a substitute in the Timberwolves, and should be able to play as a starting player in any team of the Clippers, Lakers and Warriors.
