The Los Angeles Clippers are undergoing a significant roster overhaul following disappointing seasons. After trading stars like James Harden and Ivica Zubac for younger talent and draft picks, the team is in the midst of a rebuild. ESPN's Brian Windhorst projects the Clippers could secure around 30 wins next season, focusing on team chemistry and foundational growth rather than immediate playoff success. Upcoming moves may include trading Kawhi Leonard, though that process is complicated by an ongoing NBA investigation.
