Hi! Thank you, Clippers! God-level 3-party deal

7:19pm, 10 November 2025【Basketball】

Liang Liang, the Clippers have lost four consecutive games and currently rank 13th in the Western Conference with 3 wins and 6 losses.

The so-called luxury lineup can only be applied to the offseason championship.

If the game continues like this, Tyronn Lue’s position as coach will be hard to secure.

According to statistics, so far this season, the Clippers have averaged 109.7 points per game (28th in the league), 115 points conceded per game (10th in the league), offensive efficiency of 113.6 (21st in the league), and defensive efficiency of 119.0 (27th in the league)... It is understandable that they are not even wearing their pants after losing.

Especially Bill, who has high hopes, this guy should not be counted on. He has started all six games so far, averaging 20.2 minutes per game, only scoring 8.2 points, 0.8 rebounds and 1.7 assists, with three shooting percentages of 37.5%, 36.8% and 75%. The madman who once averaged 30+ points per game for two consecutive seasons with the Wizards has plummeted since coming to the Clippers this season.

However, Bill's average annual salary in the Clippers is only US$5.5 million, so it is not appropriate to blame others.

By the way, the Clippers' starting shooting guard last season is now a popular player with the Heat. He has a great life and has firmly established himself as the core of the main force, averaging 29.0 points per game. In 9 minutes, he contributed 23.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.4 steals, shooting 46.7% from the field, and averaging 2.6 three-pointers per game at a 46.2% shooting rate. This season, he exploded in the contract year.

In order to make room for Beal and strengthen the fourth position this summer, the Clippers did not hesitate to send Powell to the Heat in a three-party trade, and acquired Collins from the Jazz (averaging 13.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal per game so far this season).

It is said that Powell is quite aggrieved about being suddenly traded. In an interview a few days ago, he openly complained that the Clippers' words such as saying they value him are empty words. At the same time, he "complained" that playing next to stars such as Harden and Leonard is easy to be ignored, no matter how outstanding his performance is.

In business alliances, interests come first, and so-called promises are sometimes not worth mentioning at all.

So there are not so many people in the NBA who are happy to get together and part ways, but more because people don’t want to break up.

What else can you say? I wish the Clippers and Powell a bright future in their respective journeys.
