Yesterday, on the first day of the NBA warm-up game, the Clippers lost to the Lakers 81-87 and lost the first game of the warm-up game. Athletic reporter Sam Amick interviewed two senior league leaders, and they all have a common prediction: The Clippers will make big moves this season, Lou Williams and Patrick Beverley are two Clippers players likely to be traded.
“The Clippers have to fire Lou Williams (after the end of the season, his contract will expire),” said a senior. “They finally talked about the chemistry problem, so Lou-Will still made me feel on this team. Surprised, Beverley is still there, which surprised me. I think they’ll make those changes. I can’t imagine Lou-Will and Beverley will stay with the Clippers for a long time. I think the Clippers are entering the draft and the free agent market. I tried to make a deal (fire them), but they haven’t been able to complete it yet. “
In the 2019-20 Western Conference Championship, the Clippers were defeated by the gold nugget with a 3-1 advantage. There are reports that the lack of good chemistry in the team was one of the reasons for the collapse. That loss also prompted the Clippers to change coaches and make some adjustments to Shangrong. Now it looks like Lou-Will and Beverley are probably the next team members to go.
“Lou-Will and Beverley, there are some rumors about them,” said another senior. “I think the Clippers will trade them because there are still conflicts on the team. But Beverley’s contract is not that easy to fire. Second. Period, I doubt they will be very cautious about whether to trade Lou-Will, because Lou-Will still can. cause problems for opponents on the court … With my knowledge of the Clippers and owner Ballmer, I think he will be more aggressive, try another great move. “
Lou-Will is 34 years old. Last season he averaged 18.2 points, 5.6 assists and 3.1 rebounds per game. He is the super sixth man on the bench, but on the defensive side there are also loopholes in the team.
As for Beverley, 32, who averaged 7.9 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game last season, previous reports indicated that Kawhi Leonard wanted the team to replace him with a real point guard. If the Clippers’ record at the start of the season falls short of expectations, they can accelerate the pace of the transaction.
