The Clippers reinforcement is quite targeted, the two centers have top-notch frame protection capabilities, and the Bucks are also improving?

Compared with other traffic teams, the Los Angeles Clippers are somewhat different. They are neither like the Lakers, nor do they directly bet. The Clippers are mainly seeking stability, renewing their contract with James Harden, and remaining in other core rotations, which is considered to continue the main rotation lineup. The real obvious change is probably to dig up Bucks center Brooke Lopez.

It should be said that the Clippers' reinforcement this time seems quite targeted. In addition to finding a reliable substitute for Zubac, the two centers' ability to protect the frame is top-notch. According to the media data, Brooke Lopez completed 555 successful franchise protection last season, ranking first in the entire league. Zubac was also not bad. He completed 536 franchise protection, and ranked third.

Every time we talk about the Clippers, we will focus on James Harden and Kawhi Leonard, but in fact, Zubac is evolving every year. Especially in the first round of the playoffs, the Clippers and the Nuggets fought a tiebreak battle. One of the key reasons is that Zubac did not completely fall into a disadvantage against MVP superstar Nikola Jokic, which is really surprising. Don't forget that Zubac is actually not very high in terms of salary, but he has become the top five center in the league, and has brought great help to the Clippers on both offense and defense.

As for Brooke Lopez, due to his poor performance in the playoffs, the market has declined sharply. Whether the Bucks strive for the championship or gradually rebuild, it is impossible for them to keep him as the starter. So it was actually expected that Brooke Lopez's departure from the Bucks, but because his salary is relatively low and he is a substitute center, fans naturally have not so high requirements for Brooke Lopez. Moreover, the reason why he has poor playoff data is that he has met the nemesis Pacers, which makes it difficult for Brooke Lopez to play his value. In the normal stage, he can not only provide stable frame protection, but also open up offensive space and provide some firepower support. Although the Bucks lost Brooke Lopez, they not only had no impact, but also seemed to have improved. Because the Bucks spent a lot of money, they grabbed Miles Turner from the Pacers, who had been sold by their parent team for many years and now they finally left Indiana. Miles Turner has been at the top of the league in blocks for many years. Last season, he successfully protected the franchise 542 times, second only to Brooke Lopez, ranking second in the league. Of course, Miles Turner is stronger than his predecessor in terms of offensive stability and power, so the Bucks choose to make adjustments.
