Bill chooses the Clippers instead of the Lakers

Bill chose the Clippers instead of the Lakers. Los Angeles talked about infighting. Are the Lakers really only losing this game?

Even if you know clearly that Bill will go to the Clippers, you will still have doubts when these things happen. Why did Bill choose the Clippers instead of the Lakers? Previously, there was news that the Lakers also intended to have Bill, but the invitation to join was rejected by Bill. What makes Lakers fans even more sad is that Bill lost $2.3 million to join the Clippers. If you join the Lakers, even if you lose money in the later stage, you will likely earn it back.

Before Bill chose the Clippers instead of the Lakers, the Lakers were undoubtedly the basketball talker in Los Angeles, and the Clippers were just Los Angeles' little brothers. If they could go to the Lakers, they would never go to the Clippers. This is James' voice, which is likely to represent the idea of most top stars. But after Bill, the Lakers lost a game in the infighting between the people, and what's even worse is the signs that the Lakers will be suppressed by the Clippers in the next few years.

Salary space is a huge Sycamore branch. The Clippers will have at least 100 million in two years. Because both Leonard and Harden renewed their two-year contracts, Zubats is one year more than them but only gets 20 million in salary. The 100 million salary space is enough for the Clippers to sign two top ten super giants in the league. In 2027, the Clippers will be the largest seller in the free market. The Lakers are likely to renew their contract with Doncic, and Dongzi's current salary is $40 million. If the contract renewal is renewed this summer, the annual salary will reach 57 million. Including James' 52 million, the two giants already occupy 100 million salary space. Although Ayton bought out, the new contract has only 2 years. He is also facing a contract renewal in 2027. If he plays well, the starting salary will be more than 40 million. Even if James has left by then, the available salary space for the Lakers is only enough to sign a super giant. If you include the expenses that leave Reeves, there is a high probability that only one middle class can use it. Therefore, in terms of salary space, the Lakers are far less relaxed than the Clippers.

Playing salary in the NBA is only one aspect, and whether there is a good playing atmosphere and performance opportunities is also the key. Why did Bill choose the Clippers? Having Harden, a pancake master, is just one thing. The Clippers sent Powell away to introduce Bill, and Bokobe was the second starting position of the Clippers last season! This also means that Bill will likely play as a starting player when joining the Clippers.

If you go to the Lakers because of Reeves, Bill can only serve as the sixth man as the substitute. Even if Reeves is a landlord, he would not be willing to serve as a substitute for him. He left the Suns because he was arranged to play as a substitute, so he naturally wanted to play as a starting player when changing teams. The Clippers are more attractive than the Lakers in this regard.

In addition, Bill can focus on shooting and scoring in the Clippers (taking over the previous job of Bow Kobe), and Leonard can do the defense. If you go to the Lakers, Bill not only needs to score but also have to defend, because all the three starting players in the Lakers are strong in offense and weak in defense, so it is definitely not possible if Bill goes to the defense.

Performance opportunities and atmosphere are better for the Clippers, and Bill's choice will also become the choice of most veterans. The Clippers' chances of winning the championship in the next two years will be higher than those of the Lakers. This year, the Clippers and Nuggets have a seven-game battle in the playoffs, and the Lakers were swept by the Timberwolves Gentleman in the first round. The opponent's combat power often determines your own combat power, and the Clippers' combat power is significantly higher than that of the Lakers. Bills of this age only has one goal - the championship, so he will naturally not change teams for losing. It is obvious that the ceiling is the playoff team, and the Clippers really have a chance to compete with the Thunder.

The above comparison is not a short-term result. The Clippers will be better than the Lakers in the next few years. So this time the Lakers lost not one game but the next few years.
