The Los Angeles Clippers came into the season with championship expectations. It has been this way since they brought the duo of Kawhi Leonard and Paul George to town. With Leonard suffering an injury, the Clippers were eliminated in the Western Conference Finals by the Phoenix Suns. This could lead to some major changes in the NBA offseason.

It was mentioned in rumors around the NBA that the Clippers could decide to blow things up if they did not get to the level they were hoping for this year. Of course, that could change with the recent injury to Leonard and how the team persevered in his absence.

The Clippers were still able to make a run to the Western Conference Finals but were unable to take down another top team, the Phoenix Suns, in the Western Conference. The focus will shift to Kawhi Leonard’s upcoming decision making process in NBA free agency.

The expectation is that Leonard chooses to return to the Clippers and the team opts to run it back. It’s important to keep an open mind given that Leonard will have plenty of intriguing options at his disposal in the offseason. If he were to go elsewhere, could Paul George be moved to begin a rebuild?
