It seems that the Clippers have the strongest lineup without Bill. Now the problem lies with Collins and Bill.

It seems that those who did not play with Bill were the strongest lineup. It just depends on whether Bill can perform well in the regular season. How to make Bill perform well is the coach's responsibility.

If you want Bill to play well, you can only add Harden, Bill, or Jones Jr., Collins, and Zu. Jones Jr.'s leading defense is indeed not as strong as Dunn's. The Clippers' biggest task in the regular season is to trade for a 3D shooter at the second position. Don't even think about Dan's and trade it immediately. Do you have any target player suggestions? That Gray is pretty good.

The problem now lies with Collins and Bill. Bill may have a starting commitment, but the partnership between Collins and Zubac is very ineffective. If Dunn Jones starts, the starting space will be too bad. It would be best for Bill to start as a fake starter, and then become the main offensive point of the second team, with Dunn matching the starting lineup for a long time.

This also solves the embarrassment of having no one in the starting lineup to lead the defense (Jones's leading defensive value is much inferior to Dunn's), and also solves the embarrassment of the second team having no main attack point and having to let Collins play with his back to develop the offense. In my personal opinion, if Bill is willing, then Bill should come off the bench and Collins should go into the starting lineup to continue the running-in, which is the only way to go. Starting Dembika Kozu.

At present, it seems that it is best for Bill to be substituted. It's just a continuation of the starting lineup from last season. If you feel that the starting offense is not good, then Jones Jr. or Dunn will come in and bring up Collins. This will ensure that the bench has firepower and the starting offense and defense are more balanced.

One thing to say is that Bill's character is not very good. As a ten-year-old fan of Bill, after thinking about it carefully, it seems that since he was injured in the two consecutive seasons of 30+ points, his character has softened a lot. As long as the team has other core players, he starts to give the ball away. From Kuzma Po, to Durant and Booker, and now Harden, this problem is getting more and more serious. At best, it is selfless, and at worst, he just wants to mess around.

Although what he did on the offensive end was to work harder on the defensive end, this type of player is ultimately an offensive player and cannot be a defensive engineer. Has the ability declined too much? I don't think so, but I think the decline in his mentality is very serious. I feel that he has become less confident than before, and he is becoming more and more hesitant on the offensive end. I hope this is just because he has just arrived and is getting used to it, otherwise he will never be able to go back.

I still remember what he looked like in his peak season. No matter who was on the inside, he just rushed in and faced people. He dared to play no matter who was defending. In the series, he still averaged 30 points per game against Simmons Thybulle Green and Embiid Howard. He was completely different from the current Bill. His first thought when getting the ball was not to attack, but to pass. I hope he can be more confident after integrating.

Confidence depends on the body. When the body is not that healthy, it is best to find form on the bench first. After all, he is not the real core of the ship. With Bill's resume, he will definitely perform well if he truly regains health. This will take time. It is impossible for the Clippers to return to their peak last year after suffering repeated injuries and finally being bought out.

Batum is the best example. Players who want to recover after a buyout need patience, and impatient young masters have also seen it. Losing the patience to wait, there is no point in changing teams every year. You have to prove yourself step by step just like you did during your rookie period. Retracing the journey.

Bill is really not suitable to start for the current Clippers. Looking at a player's current ability and adaptability, past data is not important at all. However, Bill's high-level performance last season and the high-level performance in two games this season were terrible. 1. Bill's starting caused devastating damage to the defensive system compared to last season. The Clippers' defensive system collapsed without exaggeration. The only solution is to let Dunn start.

2. Bill's offensive ability is far inferior to Powell's, especially without the ball, and the Clippers' offensive ability has also been greatly reduced. 3. Bill may perform better in a team that suits him, such as a complete lack of defenders, but in the current Clippers, based on pure ability, the order of appearance should be after Boldan.

4. Bill's current situation is actually a bit similar to the use of Westbrook last season, and also similar to the use of Bill last season. He will definitely be a starter. I don't know how many rounds Lu will last. Considering the emotional processing of the players in the locker room, it is likely to be more than 10 games. If Bill insists on starting, the Clippers' results in these 10 games will not be good. (5-5 is considered a good expectation).
