Harden wants to win the Clippers, but he still lacks one helper

The Clippers are now strong and they have improved their strength in the inside and outside. Inside they got center Lopez and also got power forward Collins from the Jazz through trade. With these two people assisting Zubac, the strength of the Clippers' offense and defense at both ends of the inside line has increased significantly.

The Clippers also got Bill, who bought out from the Suns, making up for the lack of firepower lost to Powell. Most importantly, they also got Paul, who is known as the God of Point Guard, which gives Harden plenty of rest next season.

However, it is still very difficult for such a Clipper to make a breakthrough in the West to reach the finals! The main reason is that there are many strong teams in the West, which have also improved their strength. In addition, Clippers players are generally older and have great potential for injury.

The defending Western Conference champion Thunder renewed their contract with three leaders and retained their winning lineup last season. They are determined to defend the title next season. They are definitely the biggest obstacle on the Clippers' road to winning the championship and a mountain that the Clippers must cross.

The Rockets' strength, who got Durant from the Suns, also increased greatly. They also grabbed Smith from the Lakers, signed old center Capela from the Hawks, and renewed center Adams' contract, and their inside strength has also been greatly improved.

The Mavericks, who have three No. 1 picks, will not be underestimated if they can stay healthy next season. After all, they also have Twin Talefly and Gafford in the interior, Washington on the front line, and Thompson, Curry's former best assistant.

So if the Clippers want to break out of the West, they must continue to strengthen! And a person is very suitable for the Clippers, he is Westbrook who has not yet found his next home. Why do you say so? There are several main reasons.

The first reason is that Harden's substitute is not enough. Although the Clippers found a substitute for Harden, he was too old because he was 40 years old. The Clippers also need to find another substitute for Harden. Westbrook is very suitable. He is still relatively young and can play a role in double insurance.

The second reason is that Harden owes Westbrook. Westbrook defected to Harden, who was still in the Rockets, but was eliminated by the Lakers early. Harden still owes Westbrook a champion. Is this the reason?
