Clippers offseason primer: Russell Westbrook’s future, Kawhi Leonard, more

The Clippers are in a good position to run their team back despite the increased expenses and team building restrictions coming their way.

The Los Angeles Clippers had championship aspirations when they put together their team featuring Kawhi Leonard and Paul George. So far they’ve fallen far below expectations with only one trip to the Western Conference Finals to show on their resumé. Injuries stifled them in their first-round matchup against the Suns this year, but they were inconsistent throughout the regular season while healthy. They might still have lost this series if their roster was entirely available.

After four years we could finally start getting closer to the end of this iteration of the Clippers. New CBA changes were designed to prevent teams from spending as much as they’ve had over the years. The Clips could still keep this group together but after a couple of years, it could become untenable if they continue to fall below expectations.

Here is a preview of the 2023 offseason for the Los Angeles Clippers.
