Clippers Reshape Roster After Paul George's Exit

The Los Angeles Clippers are heading into the offseason focused on securing James Harden's contract, now aiming to align it with Kawhi Leonard's timeline through 2026-27, following Paul George's departure from the team. With Harden's future expected to be determined first, the Clippers plan to leverage multiple tradeable contracts to address roster needs. They are interested in acquiring Utah guards Collin Sexton and Jordan Clarkson to boost their offense, while reports indicate skepticism about targeting Boston's Jrue Holiday due to fit and age. The team is also considering signing Houston center Steven Adams with the mid-level exception to strengthen their frontcourt as a backup to Ivica Zubac. The Clippers are not currently pursuing LaMelo Ball. Optimism about Leonard's health and upcoming roster changes highlight the team's intent to contend next season.
