Kawhi

Kawhi Leonard is the ultimate goal. This can happen this year with a trade, but considering the Spurs will ask for a ton in return for the superstar, should the Clippers wait?

This trade is realistic only if the Clippers offer their first round draft picks and perhaps Tobias Harris or a trove of other assets. Honestly, it is still worth it despite the injury concern with Kawhi this year. He is a franchise player and any chance to land a two-way superstar of his stature has to be taken.

Looking past the players, the Clippers still have more decisions to make this summer, including head coach Doc Rivers. One thing is for sure, any one of these decisions will impact what the Clippers will do for years to come.
