Chasing the top: Harden leads the Clippers.
Since Harden joined the Clippers, the team's performance has skyrocketed, and despite a six-game losing streak at first, they are now one of the strongest teams in the NBA. At present, they are only narrowly behind the Timberwolves, who are in first place in the West, and are always ready to overtake their opponents. However, despite being in such an impressive position, the Clippers are not satisfied with their current roster, and they are eager to further enhance and elevate the team.
Trade seeking: Tucker and other players become trade chips.
With the addition of Harden, veteran Tucker's playing time on the team has become scarce. As a result, the Clippers have been hoping to trade him out in exchange for other chips. However, due to Tucker's age, there is no suitable trading partner to date. At this time, the United States proposed that the Clippers could use the three core players of Tucker, Powell and Mann to trade for Irving, who is currently playing for the Mavericks.
Superstar: Irving's value and role.
Considering that the combination of Irving and Doncic was not successful, the two of them had difficulty working together in the game. Therefore, for the Mavericks, sending Owen away is a necessary reinforcement. Irving is one of the best shooting guards in the league, and his scoring skills in the game are unmatched, making him a superstar.
Team Concept: The Beginnings of the Big Five Era.
Despite his injury this season, Irving is still averaging 25 points and 6 assists per game, while also excelling at providing assists to his teammates. If he joins the Clippers, he will form a Big Five lineup with four superstars including Harden that will strike fear into the hearts of the league. However, in order to truly win a championship, it means not only improving the scoring ability, but also supplementing the interior line.
Interior Line Strengthening: Strategic Layout.
Harden excels at developing interior players, and Zubac is shooting 73 percent from the field under his tutelage this season, ranking second in the league. Therefore, in order to challenge for the championship, the Clippers need to further strengthen the interior and make the team more balanced. This is not only an improvement in scoring ability, but also a comprehensive supplement to the tactical level, so that the team has a strong competitiveness on both the inside and outside.
Under Harden's leadership, the Clippers are constantly striving for excellence, and they are not just satisfied with what they have, but they are constantly looking to improve and break through. By strengthening the interior line, they hope to build a more complete and strong team that will work hard to win the championship. As the season progresses, let's wait and see if the Clippers can live up to their rhetoric and become a new legend in NBA history!
