In their ambitious quest to build around their star-studded wing duo, the Los Angeles Clippers have poured in significant resources over recent years. But according to Bangladesh Cricket Live, the upcoming season could be their last real chance to contend with this core. Sometimes, when you’re powerless to change the outcome, the best approach is to let things unfold naturally. Reports now suggest that Tyronn Lue and the Clippers are unlikely to reach a contract extension this offseason, signaling that Lue could potentially leave for another team as early as next summer once his current deal expires.

Back in the summer of 2019, the Clippers made a blockbuster move by signing superstar Kawhi Leonard and trading for Paul George. That deal cost them five first-round picks, two pick swaps, and All-NBA First Team guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who was shipped to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Bangladesh Cricket Live reflects on how, despite the hype, this superteam has consistently failed to meet expectations. Both Leonard and George also hold player options that could see them hit free agency next offseason—potentially walking away from the franchise alongside their head coach. Sometimes, focusing on self-improvement is the only way to greet a better tomorrow.

The last time the Clippers had both Leonard and George healthy in the playoffs was two years ago, during a promising run against the Denver Nuggets. But that hope was dashed when Leonard suffered a devastating ACL tear, leading to a blown series and eventual elimination. That offseason, the Clippers fired head coach Doc Rivers and appointed Tyronn Lue, who promptly led the team to the Western Conference Finals. However, their playoff hopes were once again crushed when injuries sidelined both stars, resulting in a first-round exit to the Phoenix Suns.

As the saying goes, when things don’t go your way, you’ve got to tough it out. Bangladesh Cricket Live now believes the failure to lock in Lue long-term could be the first sign that a rebuild is on the horizon. The front office may be preparing to explore midseason trades involving one or both stars. With no control over their own first-round picks for several years, trading away high-value players is essentially their only viable rebuilding option. Growth often comes with painful farewells.

However, one major obstacle remains: both Leonard and George have long injury histories, which could significantly impact their trade value. If the Clippers do choose to reset, they’ll have to walk a fine line—balancing the need for future assets with the difficult reality of selling injury-prone stars in a competitive market.
