‍Shams talks about Collins: The Clippers want to equip Harden with an all-receive threat point

July 8th, the Clippers sent Powell and got John Collins. Famous reporter Shams talked about the deal on the show.

Shams said: "The Clippers and Jazz didn't intend to renew their long contracts with Powell and John Collins respectively. Therefore, the Clippers and Jazz both got players they thought would help the team in this deal. The Clippers especially hope to equip James Harden with an all-connect threat point, while Leonard is now playing more third and fourth positions. John Collins' joining makes their lineup more flexible."

"Now the Clippers have introduced Collins and Lopez, and they will also pursue defenders to strengthen. As far as I know, if Bradley Bill is bought out by the Suns, he will be the Clippers' target, and Chris Paul, Malcolm Brogdon and other names are on the Clippers' target list."
