They Should’ve NEVER Let The Los Angeles Clippers Become This LOADED
The Los Angeles Clippers are absolutely loaded. They signed Bradley Beal to two-year 11 million deal after he was bought out by the Phoenix Suns. This was coming. The Clippers, they were viewed as the likely suitor for Beal Services. And when the Clippers made that move, sending Norman Pal away, getting John Collins in return, you knew they had a trick up their sleeve. They had their Norman Pal replacement in mind and they get that replacement in Bradley Beal who I think is going to help this team and benefit greatly from a change of scenery. All of a sudden you got a starting five of James Harden, Bradley Beal, Kawhi Leonard, John Collins, and Zubots. That is a super enticing five. You got incredible depth behind that five. And to me right now, this team is a top four team in the West. I absolutely love what the Clippers have done this off season. Getting Brook Lopez, making the trade for Collins, finding the Norman power replacement for cheap in Bradley Beal because at this price it was a no-brainer. And more importantly, they prevented Beal from going to their rivals in the Lakers or Warriors, the Clippers. They look very good right now. And this is a team that I think is going to be in title contention this season. Do me a sol. Drop a like on the video. Subscribe to the channel if you’re new.

Keep it locked and loaded on this channel. for more Clippers and NBA content. This is perfect for both sides because the Clippers with this move, they don’t compromise their future financial flexibility and their future plans. And Bradley Beal is going to get what he wants. He’s going to be a starter. So, this is going to be a perfect marriage between both sides. And you look at Beal, I think his demise is greatly exaggerated. Like people make it seem like Bradley Beal is absolutely washed and he’s done and he can’t provide anything. Like he averaged 17 points last season and the Clippers, they’re probably not even going to need him to average this many points. They just need him to be good enough because he is going to have to just alleviate some of that offensive load from Kawhai and James Harden. But I think he’s going to be perfect for that backward alongside James Harden. And I think he’s going to get easy looks, you know, open shots. Shot at 38% from three, 3.7 assists, 3.3 rebounds. And you look at this Clippers team. People are making it seem like, oh, they’re relying on Bradley Beal that no, this team was already really darn good. You look at how they ended last season, they were one of the best teams in the NBA, and their defense was phenomenal. Bradley Beal has never been on a team with this type of defense. So, I think this is going to be a nice balance. Now you add another offensive weapon that this team needed. The defense is still intact and then you have a bench that is going to be really well-rounded. You get the backup big that you really needed behind Zubots in Brook Lopez Batum Derrick Jones Jr. Bob Donovich Chris Dunn. There’s a lot of talk that maybe the Clippers can reunite with Chris Paul because they have another move they can make. So imagine if they do reunite with Paul because they could use a backup point guard. This team is loaded top to bottom. The biggest thing is health. Can Kawawaii stay healthy for the full season? I mean, he proved last season he could, right? He made it throughout the entirety of the Clippers playoff run. I know it was shorter than they wanted it, but he played in all those games, which was great to see. And I know Beal too has had his issues with injury as of late, but in the games that he did play, he had some nice outings for the Suns. He wasn’t as useless or as bad as people portrayed him to be. And the most important thing about this whole situation and why I think the Clippers have done a fantastic job since the whole Paul George situation cuz you got to think like a lot of people mark the Clippers dead in the water when Paul George left. And all they have done since that point is put together a legitimate championship contender and they haven’t compromised their financial flexibility. The Clippers have basically put themselves in a position where they can give this core a 2-year window and then reassess everything in the summer of 2027 and they can have a nearly clean cap sheet if they want to say, “We’re starting over. we’re going to go after some of the big names available. So, the organization has done an A+ job of keeping this team competitive right now and their future is not compromised. They can generate max cap space and they will be a prime player in prime position in that highly anticipated 2027 off season. So, what the Clippers have done from an overall perspective has been stellar. Got to give the front office their credit. They have done a remarkable job having this team in title contention right now and having the freedom to do major things in the future. And you look at it from a personnel standpoint. The Clippers, they lost Thorman Pal, Eubanks, Patty Mills, Ben Simmons, Amir Coffee. They bring in Bradley Beal, John Collins, Brook Lopez, and maybe Chris Paul. You look at both of those categories of players out, players in, and you would take this 10 out of 10 times if you’re a Clippers fan. The talent they’ve brought in supersedes the talent they just lost. And Norman Pal, he was so big for this team, but the Clippers weren’t going to pay him. They weren’t going to extend him. And they have Collins who I think is going to be a better fit in that front court. They need somebody there to alleviate that pressure off Kawawaii where he doesn’t have to go against bigger bodies. And now you got Bradley Beal. Bradley Beal can still be a valuable player. He can still hit shots. He can still have big offensive games. And I think playing alongside one of the best playmakers of all time in James Harden’s gonna open up so much for him. So I love this very very lowrisk, highreward move for the Los Angeles Clippers cuz that’s what it is. They haven’t broken the bank. They haven’t compromised future plans. They haven’t done any of that. They have just made smart strategic moves. And this team going into next season, they’re going to be right there. The Thunder are still the favorites until proven otherwise. Got the Nuggets, who I really like, the Rockets, and then I got the Clippers. The Clippers, to me, they’re a top four team in the West. They were already a top team in the West before making these moves. I think they’ve only gotten better since last season. So, the Clippers, this can be a fun team to watch.

loaded ? on top of harden having more turnovers than made field goals in the playoffs and kawhi only playing 37 games , they just added another bad defender . this would be a loaded team in 2018 .
They’re going to be an interesting team to watch

I called them a great super team so I the game7 last year and I was very upset when the other team beat the Los Angeles Clippers and I hope this year they can go back to the playoffs again because they got knocked out and I don’t care what you said they made a great trade. I liked Norman Powell and I know that this team will go back and kick your butt.
