Recently, commentator Xu Jingyu talked about the Clippers in the program "If You Have the Ball".

Xu Jingyu said: "The luxury tax paid by the Clippers this year is very high, ranking among the best in the league. In this case, the team has only one goal - to compete for the championship, and this team really can't afford to wait. Starting from the trade for Leonard, they slowly formed the lineup and changed several sets of teams. It has been seven years. To put it bluntly, many players in the NBA have retired in seven years. The average career of an average NBA player is only about four to five years. The Clippers cannot be postponed indefinitely.

"What is the performance of the Clippers this season? Still leaderless. This is quite disappointing to be honest. Leonard originally had high hopes, but this year has still been hit and miss. His injury, coupled with his "secret card" personality, makes it uncertain once he is injured, and his return date is unpredictable. How can a team that wants to compete for the championship not have an absolute core?

"What is left of such a team? What is the concept of an average age of thirty-three years old? It is the highest in the entire NBA history. We all know that the Warriors are older, but a careful comparison shows that the average age of the Warriors is actually five years younger than the Clippers. For such a team, it is Why compete? Historical data proves that no team with an average age of more than 32 years old has broken through the first round of the playoffs. How can the Clippers break through the first round when they are 33 years old? Let alone compete for the championship-it is difficult to even break through the first round. Why are they persisting now?source:7m com cn
