Draft: Bobi Klintman #21, Hunter Sallis #45

The Clippers core is ageing, and they cannot all stay healthy when it all matters. They are a second apron team and their luxury tax is amounting. They admit that this era was a failure and gain young pieces and some draft capital while they still can as their star's values continue to decrease. They use picks from previous trades to trade for Mikal Bridges as they aim to develop them and find a star. They have prototype 3&D wings in Mikal, Murphey, Murray and Klintman and hope they can turn into a Paul George esc player. Their backcourt duo of Daniels and Mitchell would wreak havoc on other teams guards as they turn Daniels into a 2 way player who can be a playmaker and hope they can turn him into a Jrue Holiday esc player. They develop Sallis into a Malik Monk role as a high production scorer of the bench. Zubac continues to be a double-double threat every night. Paul Reed runs a mix of small ball 5 and 4 as he finds his opportunity out of Joel Embiid's shadow and develops into a mix of Trey Lyles and Kevin Love. Eric Gordon and Jeff Green are solid vets in the locker room and mentor the younger players.

2024 They Make the play-in as the 10 seed, they lose against the 9 seed 2025 Players develop and they finish as the 6 seed but are gentlemen swept in the first round 2026 They sign Trae Young and Bam Adebayo, they finish as the 1 seed and win the finals.
