Why Paul goes to the Clippers and not the Lakers

Why didn’t Paul go to the Lakers and the Clippers? Do you look down on James and Doncic? What exactly happened? It's incredible!

After Paul left the Spurs, he wanted to find a team close to home, and the Clippers and Lakers in Los Angeles were undoubtedly very suitable for him. But Paul finally chose to join the Clippers instead of the Lakers. There may be several reasons.

The first reason is that the Clippers are stronger than the Lakers. The Clippers played seven games with the Nuggets in the playoffs last season, while the Lakers were swept by the Timberwolves in the playoffs last season.

And during this offseason, the Clippers have added many capable players. They got center Lopez and power forward Collins. The strength has been improved compared to last season, while the Lakers only got Ayton and Smart.

For Paul, who wants to win the championship before retirement, the stronger Clippers are undoubtedly a better choice. After all, the healthy Clippers have more possibilities to win the championship next season, and the Lakers are gradually moving away from the championship.

The second reason is that I look down on Doncic and James. Doncic was sent away by the team at his peak in his prime. This is enough to show that Doncic is problematic, and Paul is so smart that he can naturally see this.

And James is old and no longer as brave as he was. Paul believes that it is impossible to win the championship with James and Doncic. After all, Doncic's defense is too bad, and James is only concerned about his own data at the moment.

If Paul goes to the Lakers, he may only be the ultimate scapegoat. Paul is probably the one who was scolded the worst, just like Westbrook who went to the Lakers when he lost his face.

The third reason is that Paul wants to retire perfectly. The reason why Paul returned to the Clippers was to end his career with the Clippers. It is said that next season will be Paul's last season, and he will retire after playing.

The Clippers were once the team in Paul's glorious period. At that time, Paul, Griffin and Jordan Jr. formed the Sky City, and contributed many exciting games during that period.

Although they failed to win the final championship, it is also a wonderful memory. Paul wants to retire in the Clippers and put a perfect end to his career. Is this the truth?
