The Los Angeles Clippers made valiant run in the 2021 NBA playoffs, where they made the Western Conference Finals for the first time in franchise history. Despite putting together their most successful campaign, L.A.'s outlook for the foreseeable future is still very much up in the air. To start, they have yet to re-sign Kawhi Leonard to a new deal after the superstar forward declined his player option. Likewise, Reggie Jackson, who had a magnificent 2021 postseason run, still remains a free agent.

The Clippers would obviously need to bring back those two, especially Kawhi Leonard, if they still want to maintain their standing among the upper echelon of contenders in the NBA. However, with the 2-time NBA Finals MVP out indefinitely due to a partially torn ACL, who knows just how realistic their title chances are next season.

L.A. will need to look to the remaining players on the free agency market to round out their roster as Paul George takes over as their de facto leader to being the 2021-22 campaign. With that said, here are the three best free agents who are still available for the taking for the Clippers.

Potential Clippers Free Agents

1. Justise Winslow

With Kawhi Leonard possibly out for the entire 2021-22 season, the Clippers will need some reinforcements on their wing depth. Justise Winslow should fit the bill as a forward that can play and defend multiple positions. Winslow by no means will be able to replace Leonard's production, but he should be another option head coach Ty Lue could go to spell some minutes for Paul George.

There's no doubting Winslow's talent and what he could bring to the floor. At his best, he has shown to have some playmaking chops at the forward spot and provide length and athleticism on the defensive end. His 3-point shot is relatively suspect, but he did shoot a combined 37.7 percent from beyond the arc in the 2017-18 and 2018-19 seasons.

The biggest question with Winslow, however, is his ability to stay on the floor. The 6-foot-6 lefty has played just 37 games over the past two seasons. His health should be the primary concern the Clippers must keep in mind if they will consider bringing Winslow in. Nonetheless, he likely will come in cheap and should be a low-risk, high-reward signing should he stay healthy and play at his best with more opportunities while Kawhi Leonard is out.

2. Josh Hart

Josh Hart could be another option for L.A. to bolster their wing and guard depth. Despite standing just 6-foot-5, Hart is a terrific rebounder for his size. He averaged 8.0 rebounds in 47 games for the New Orleans Pelicans last season and should be able to bring his hustle on the boards if the Clippers are able to snag him in free agency.

Hart definitely has the potential to become 3-and-D option, but he is still a below-average shooter from beyond the arc. After shooting a promising 39.6 percent from three in his rookie year, Hart has just 33.6 percent from long distance over the last three seasons. Nonetheless, the Villanova standout is just 26 years old and could still improve on that aspect of his game.

However, being a restricted free agent, there's a good chance the Pelicans could match whatever the Clippers offer Hart. But in case New Orleans decides to part ways with him, Hart would be a solid addition to L.A.'s wing rotation.

3. Paul Millsap

The Clippers were in need of front court help with Serge Ibaka getting season-ending back surgery prior to the 2021 postseason. Veteran big man Paul Millsap should be able to fill that role and give L.A. another option at the four and the five.

At 36 years old, Millsap obviously is no longer the All-Star he was when he played with the Atlanta Hawks. Nonetheless, the 15-year veteran proved that he can still be a capable contributor off the bench, as he did for the Denver Nuggets last season. Millsap is still able to bring some hustle and energy on the defensive end. In addition, he has also extended his range over the last couple of seasons and is able to provide some floor spacing in the front court. He shot a decent 34.3 percent from three last season, but did shoot an elite 43.5 percent in 2019-20.

At this point of his career, Millsap's best role is probably as a small ball five, but his improved shooting still makes him a viable option at the four. The Clippers would definitely welcome him as someone who can become a reliable veteran big with tons of postseason experience.
