On July 27, the US media revealed that the NBA Clippers' lineup signing upgrade has been basically completed in the new season, especially the defender Bill who signed a buyout contract with the Suns, which can make up for the offensive scoring firepower of losing defender Powell in time. In this way, the three core cores of the Clippers' starting lineup, Harden, 36 years old + Leonard, 34 years old + Bill, the average age of the Bulls won the Bulls in the 1998 season: Jordan was 34 years old + Rodman, 36 years old + Pippen, 32 years old, and this season, the Bulls won the championship just as the average age of 32.1 years old. Can the new Big Three of the Clippers replicate the Bulls' miracle that year?

The Clippers signed 37-year-old champion center Lopez, 28-year-old forward John Collins, 32-year-old shooting guard Bill, and 40-year-old point guard god Chris Paul, which made them completely an aged team in the league, with an average age of 33.2 years old, breaking the record of the oldest team in NBA history. The Clippers currently have 8 players in the lineup of 30+ and 4 players with 35+. No wonder the American media hailed as the Clippers' Sunset Red Team. Their regular season record is not favored by the outside world in the new season, and even whether they can advance to the Western Conference playoffs is detrimental!

But the Clippers management does not think so: they think the team's current lineup is very good on both offense and defense. Players such as Zubac, John Collins, Chris Dunn, Derek Jones are all in their prime, while veterans such as Harden, Leonard, Bill, Paul, Lopez, Batum, etc. are not that bad. Their rich experience will bring more stability to the Clippers. As long as the players stay healthy, the team's lineup will have more rotations, the Clippers in the new season will still become one of the most championship-competitive teams in the league!
