Team Note: The Clippers have no assets in their hands; they can t even make a bad deal or rebuild. The next window for championship is next year

May 4th, in the first round of the NBA playoffs, the Clippers lost to the Nuggets in a tiebreak and were eliminated. TA Clippers reporter Law Murray published an article reporting on the current situation of the Clippers.

It is reported that the Clippers plan to continue to optimize their lineup next season. Just like signing Leonard in 2019, the team may turn their attention to 2026 to determine a new lineup, which is the most reasonable timeline from the perspective of the next championship window.

It is understood that the Clippers have had a winning rate of more than 50% for 14 consecutive seasons. They will not play badly or rebuild, and they will not be able to do so. Because the Clippers no longer have many draft assets, and the stars in the Clippers cannot exchange for good enough assets in the trading market. The team needs to maintain its current competitive level while preparing for the future. At present, they can only continue to build a team around Harden and Leonard.
