11 million in 2 years! 3.6 million in 1 year! The Clippers 16-man roster is released, and Xiaoka decides the prospect of winning the championship

No one can always be young, but someone is always young, and so is the NBA! Last season, the Oscar Thunder won the first championship trophy in team history, with an average age of only 24.8 years old. This is the seventh youngest championship team in NBA history. You have to sigh: Young people are terrifying, and the league is the stage dominated by young people after all. There is a statistics showing that since the 21st century, only three champions have been over 30 years old, namely the Heat in 2013 (30.3), the Mavericks in 2011 (30.9) and the Spurs in 2007 (30.4). During this offseason, a giant team did the opposite and created a Sunset Red Team, aiming at the championship.

What I want to say is the Los Angeles Clippers. The Clippers seem to have a special liking for veterans. Former veterans such as Rondo, Westbrook, and Wall have shined and heated up in the Clippers. In the past season, the Clippers' average age is 27.7 years old, making them the second-oldest team in the NBA. Even so, the Clippers still achieved a record of 50 wins and 32 losses, ranking second in the West, and the defense of third in the league was also eye-catching. Even if the Clippers were eliminated in seven games in the first round of the playoffs, you have to applaud Harden, Xiao Ka and others for their performance of "I'm talking about youngsters". During this offseason, the Clippers upgraded and transformed the lineup to highlight an elderly music. After the free agent trading market opened, the Clippers immediately signed a new two-year, $81.5 million contract with Harden, and made heavy blows, completing several major deals and signings. First, the Clippers signed Bucks champion center Lopez with a two-year and $18 million contract; then, the Clippers completed a three-party deal with the Heat and Jazz, sent Powell away, and got Collins; then, the Clippers signed a two-year and $11.5 million contract with veteran Batum; then, the Clippers signed Bill, who was bought out by the Suns with a two-year and $11 million contract; finally, the Clippers signed veteran Paul for 3.6 million dollars in one-year and $3.6 million.

The Clippers are taking action wildly and spending a small amount of money to do big things. The 16-man lineup roster is released, as follows: back line - Harden + Bill + Paul + Dunn + Bogdan + Christie + Sanders (two-way contract), forward line - Katlins + Collins + Batum + Jones Jr. + Kobe Brown + Baldwin (two-way contract), center - Zubac + Lopez + Niedhauser. Compared with myself last season, the Clippers' lineup depth has been further improved; compared with competitors Thunder, Nuggets and Rockets, the Clippers' lineup also has both strength and experience, and there are too many cards to play, and it is just the right time to win the championship!

At the same time, the Clippers quietly created a god-level record. According to statistics from the NBA official website, the average age of the Clippers' lineup in the new season is as high as 33.2 years old, breaking the NBA record held by the Jazz in the 2000-01 season (32 years old). They have become the oldest team in history in the NBA. The Clippers have 4 players in age of 35, namely Paul (40), Daluo (37), Batum (36), Harden (35); and 8 players in age of 30, namely Ka (34), Bill (32), Bogdan (32), and Dunn (31); only 3 main players in the Clippers have rotation ages less than 30, namely Jones (28), Zubac (28) and Collins (27). Looking forward to the new season, Clippers President Frank made the statement clear in an interview. He said bluntly: The depth of the new season is the strongest in recent years, and we are ready to compete for the championship. We understand that having an older team means an increased risk of injury, but we are a team with a very deep roster. That's right, the depth of the Clippers' strong formation is the greatest confidence in the long season, and ultimately it is to reduce the burden on Harden and Xiaoka. But then again, how far the Clippers can go in the playoffs depends on their health and endurance, especially Xiao Ka, who is the one who decides the prospect of the Clippers' championship - Xiao Ka must go through the regular season smoothly and make every effort to regain the style of the dynasty terminator in the playoffs! I wish the Clippers good health and hope they will stay healthy and fight for the championship and strive to become the oldest champion in NBA history. Fans, what do you think about this? Let me leave me a comment and discuss it.
