Paul George left, Leonard has been absent for a long time, the outside world did not look good at the Clippers, but Harden led the team to outstanding results. Everyone is looking forward to Leonard's return, Harden said he participated in joint training, Clippers follow-up reporter revealed that Leonard is expected to return within the next two weeks, he missed this season due to right knee inflammation, after returning, the coach will control his playing time.
The Clippers are brewing a major trade with the Jazz, targeting John Collins. Tyronn Lue is optimistic about his partnership with Harden, and owner Ballmer also wants to upgrade the No. 4 position to protect Leonard. The Jazz decided to rebuild, Collins was put on the shelf, the Clippers contacted first, both sides negotiated smoothly. Collins averaged 18.1 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.1 steals, and 0.9 blocks this season, with a shooting percentage of 54%, a three-point shooting percentage of 45.3%, and a free throw percentage of 90.1%, making him one of the members of the 180 Club. His excellent performance makes him the Clippers' top choice for recruitment.
But the Clippers signing Collins may come at a cost, as many teams are interested, and the Jazz will negotiate with multiple parties. Although the Clippers have quality chips, there is still competition. If Collins joins forces with Harden and Leonard, the Clippers have a chance to win the championship.
