2 years and 18 million signing 38-year-old veteran! The Clippers are in a hurry to seek medical treatment? Dunn makes the premium contract worth it

On July 2, after the free market opened, there are fewer and fewer big fish in the free market now, but what I didn't expect is that there were only a handful of big fish, but unexpected big fish would pop up. For example, Lillard today has 110 million yuan in two years, but it was suddenly bought out, which was even more explosive than the Trail Blazers buying out Ayton. Now it is reported that the Warriors are interested in getting Lillard, and they have contacted Lillard, who has been a fan of the Warriors since childhood.

The Warriors team is like this. Ordinary players really don't like it. They think it's unnecessary to introduce ordinary blue-collar workers, because many ordinary blue-collar workers can't adapt to the Warriors system at all. In this case, they focus more on getting stars. Just like at the trade deadline, the team is aiming at Durant and Butler. Other players are not interested. Can Vucevic strengthen the team's inside shortcomings? Then I don't want it either.

The Warriors are very similar to the Lakers today. The team does not have the patience to train young players, but they just want to eat ready-made ones. After all, I am in the big football market and there are many players I want to come. In contrast, the Clippers, which are also in the big football market, are taking a different path. They have been strengthening their lineup shortcomings. The team recently renewed the contract with Harden, then renewed Batum, and then introduced Lopez. Now the team and Paul are also close to signing.

renewal of Harden and Batum is understandable. After all, these two have proved that they are suitable for the Clippers before, but signing Daluo is quite surprising. After all, what they need is an excellent five-small center to make the team's lineup more reasonable, but the Clippers won a Daluo with a similar style of playing to Zubac, and they are also a 37-year-old veteran, which is a bit puzzling. Daluo's advantages and disadvantages can be said to be very obvious.

His advantage is that he has rich playoff experience, and his franchise protection is also excellent, and he has space ability to open up space for the core. This is a better place than Azu. But Daluo also has a disadvantage, that is, his movement speed is too slow and he can only protect the frame. If he is asked to pull out the defense, then there is only one result, that is, he is beaten by his opponents in various rosters and becomes an ATM. At this age, the speed was slow, but now it is even slower.

Da Luo now gives people the feeling that he can't play in the playoffs, so in the playoffs between the Bucks and the Pacers, Lao Li only allowed him to play for 14.8 minutes per game, and he is a fake starting center. After joining the Clippers, although he will not be the starting center, he is also the team's second center and the core rotation of the team's inside line. The Clippers also gave him a two-year contract of 18 million. Does this seem like this signing cost a premium?

If you only look at Daluo's performance in the Bucks this season, he is indeed not worth it, but the Clippers are different from the Bucks. The Clippers can make Daluo play dominant again. First of all, on the offensive end, Harden has excellent organizational skills and can find players to feed cakes very well. Zubac was fed by him this season. Daluo's pick-and-roll quality is higher, and his low-post offensive skills are also excellent, which can replace Zubac's threat at the basket after Zubac's exit.

Secondly, the Clippers have Dunn. Although Dunn's offense is unstable, in terms of defensive ability, this person may be the closest to the peak Holiday. His enthusiasm and skills on the defensive end are too outstanding. In the past, Azu was also an ATM that was rostered by his opponents. Why was he selected for the Best Defense Team this season? It is because of Dunn that he can cleverly get the position in advance, squeeze through the pick-and-roll and the defender, and Zubac just needs to keep the frame safe.

The Clippers can play excellent defense. The combination of Dunn and Zubac is indispensable. Similar to the previous combination of Holiday and Daluo. Although Daluo cannot defend, with Dunn, he can rest assured to squat and protect the frame. In this way, Daluo's defensive shortcomings are also covered up. He has the opportunity to re-play the league's first defense level. Moreover, the reason why the Clippers dare to give him so many contracts is mainly because they are not afraid of opponents targeting him.

Because Daluo is a substitute center, he is a substitute most of the time. He will come up after the opponent's scoring core is over. If the opponent deliberately targets it, then the team will have Dunn and Jones Jr. wipe Daluo's butt, and there will be no impact on the defensive end. Another main reason why Daluo is worth so much is that the West is now hoarding its size. Look at the Rockets, three excellent centers and the Nuggets have also introduced Valan.

The competition in the West now is not only to deal with the small lineup of the Thunder, but also the big one is also the key. If the Clippers play against the Nuggets, Timberwolves or Rockets in the playoffs next season, they will not suffer any loss in size now with Daluo. Next season, the West is a bit like returning to traditional basketball, but are the Lakers and Warriors still thinking about playing five small players? Having said that, what do you want to say about the Clippers? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
