The Clippers have a lot of decisions to make this offseason. Despite the team’s professed goal to run it back with a healthy team, the Clippers don’t control that path. There are four unrestricted free agents in the team’s top 13 (Nic Batum, Reggie Jackson, Patrick Patterson, and DeMarcus Cousins) and two more players could be free agents should they exercise their player options: Kawhi Leonard and Serge Ibaka.
The franchise will surely explore trades as well that may or may not involve the team’s round pick. And there’s also the big question hovering over everything: what is the status of Leonard’s knee?
Suffice to say, there are many questions to answer about what the team will look like next season, so let’s talk about them! Clips Nation will be hosting a fan forum on Spotify Greenroom today at 1 p.m. PT to preview the offseason.
