Clippers rumors: What LA plans to do this offseason after playoff failure

The Los Angeles Clippers have some big decisions to make after their historic playoff collapse, and here's reportedly what they may do.

The Los Angeles Clippers were sent back to the drawing board by the Denver Nuggets following an epic seven-game series in the second round, which saw LA somehow blowing a seemingly insurmountable 3-1 series lead. It's going to be a very interesting offseason for the Clippers, with several key decisions that need to be addressed at the soonest.

The most important of which is the commitment level of LA's core in Kawhi Leonard and Paul George. According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, these two have every intention of going on another run next season:

As for the top of the roster, Leonard and George wanted to play together, they wanted to make title runs in Los Angeles and that commitment has not waned despite this setback. Players and coaches left the arena Tuesday night dejected but still optimistic about the 2020-21 season.

While there have been whispers of the front office potentially considering a George trade following his disappointing performance in the playoffs, these rumors seem extremely premature at this point. It has only been one year since the Clippers formed this dynamic duo, and there's little reason to blow it up after just one failure in very unique circumstances.

The Clippers also have a few more key personnel decisions to make. In particular, the future of Sixth Man of the Year Montrezl Harrell — who will become an unrestricted free agent in the offseason — remains atop their priority list. An addition of a much-needed floor general is reportedly also on the agenda:

Rival teams expect the Clippers to work the trade market for a playmaker in the backcourt, and internally the franchise has the free agency of Montrezl Harrell and potential free agency of [JaMychal] Green (player option) to work through. Harrell and the Clippers have mutual interest to find a deal, but Harrell is expected to be a sought after in the market place and have multiple suitors.

This is going to be a very important offseason for this franchise, and the moves they make will undoubtedly have a significant effect on this team next season.
