The Los Angeles Clippers are going to enter next NBA season as one of the favorites in the Western Conference. Since being led by their new regime, they have been highly regarded in the league but have been unable to accomplish their goal. That could change this season with just a few moving parts.
Kawhi Leonard opted out of his contract with the Clippers, which was to be expected. He ended up signing a new deal that paid him more over the next four years. This was a business move for Leonard and he never had any intention of leaving Los Angeles.
The duo of Leonard and Paul George are still intact and the Clippers have a chance to be elite once again. They finished as the fourth seed in the Western Conference this season and made a run to the conference finals.
There are not many moves that need to be made in Los Angeles but that does not mean that they should sit on their hands. If they are looking to make another move, the Orlando Magic could be an intriguing trade partner. This is a front office that has been busy over the last few months.
