Today s NBA Clippers win a complete victory, Ban Kairo renews his contract with maximum salary, the Warriors are still waiting

12:26am, 17 July 2025【Basketball】

This summer, Warriors fans may be experiencing the most tormented waiting of their careers. When the other 29 teams are crazy to strengthen, they don’t even sign in as a substitute center; and the Clippers have quietly upgraded their lineup to "Invisible Championship Team".

Let's first look at how amazing the Clippers' operations are. As soon as there was some movement in the free market in early July, they exchanged Powell for the Pelicans back to Collins. This wave of operations directly solves two major problems: Collins is 2.08 meters tall, can protect the frame and grab rebounds, which just makes up for the old problem of the Clippers' soft inside line; Powell left, and Ka finally got back to the small forward position with justification, and no longer had to be the "blue-collar" position of the power forward.

The Clippers still have about 15 million salary space. Everyone is guessing that it is waiting for the Suns' Bill to buy out his annual salary by buying it out of 14 million yuan. If Paul, who just announced that he had "returned home in the last season", the depth of the Clippers' lineup could turn the West upside down.

Let’s talk about the magic that makes fans sour. 239 million yuan locked Ban Kairo in 5 years, and this operation was called "heavy profit" by fans.

Average 29 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists per game, and his height of 2.08 meters is like a mobile turret on the court.

Magic management is smarter and has simultaneously renewed Sargers and Wagner Jr., the core of these three young people, and is now valued at more than $1 billion. Ban Kairo is only 22 years old. If he gets an MVP next year, his contract can rise to 287 million. This is not a signing player. It is obviously a "potential stock VIP card" for the future.

The operation of the sun is confusing. Booker just signed 150 million for two years, and Durant turned to the sun? No, Durant is leaving. Now there are five centers and ten defenders in the Suns, and the lineup is even more chaotic than the vegetable market. While they spent money on Booker, they were swaying in the market with stars of Bill. If Bill really went to the Suns and partnered with Booker in the backcourt, he might be able to save him, but now, Booker's contract has become a "Lonely Brave".

The focus is on the Warriors. How miserable are they in this season? Curry's father was so anxious that he complained publicly: "If this lineup is not patched, let alone compete for the championship, it will be in lingering in the play-offs. "Look at their question: Kumingga wants to trade? No one in the league is willing to take over; Wiseman went to the Pacers for a two-year contract, and changed four teams at the age of 24. Now he plays as a starting center for the Pacers. If he can't play, he really has to go to the overseas league.

The veterans have become popular: 39-year-old Lowry can still get a contract with the 76ers, Love is traded until the Jazz may be bought out. I heard that the Warriors are in contact, so what have you done long ago?

Now the entire league is watching Bill's buyout progress. If Bill really gives up 14 million and join the Clippers with a basic salary, and with the possible Paul, the depth of the Clippers' lineup can make all opponents insomnia. On the Warriors, the management is still "pretending to be dead": 35-year-old Curry, 34-year-old Thompson, 33-year-old Green, this "old disco" core lineup, would be a miracle if it could make it to the top six in the Western Conference in the new season. The direction of the free market is also changing. This year, the salary cap has risen to 154.6 million, and the luxury tax line is 187.9 million, and the teams have more money in their hands. But not everyone can spend it. The "precision strike" type of teams like the Clippers and Magic, specializing in selecting young potential stocks and fighting power; the Suns, the "silly people and a lot of money" type, spending money but not making it to the point; the Warriors, the "stay their old capital" type, watch their opponents run away.

The comparison continues: When the Magic uses maximum salary to lock the future, the Clippers use space to wait for opportunities, and the Suns are struggling in chaos, the Warriors are still having a meeting to discuss "Would you like to give Poole a veteran's basic salary"? Every three-pointer Curry made in the training hall, every fast break that Thompson ran after recovery, and every tactic that Green yelled on the sidelines, seemed so lonely because behind them, there was no new teammate who could really take care of the matter.
