The Harsh Reality of The Los Angeles Clippers…

The Harsh Reality of The Los Angeles Clippers…

The Los Angeles Clippers are currently facing one of the biggest what if situations heading into this year’s playoffs Paul George who is approaching the end of his contract is reportedly as per Brian wior far apart from an extension deal with the Clippers and for the plethora of superstars on this team

It makes this upand cominging playoffs a crucial turning point for this organization and this situation can very well turned into the mess that left the Brooklyn Nets in shambles if a championship is not won but to fully understand the severity of this Clipper situation let’s quickly recap how we got

Here PG and Kawai signed a deal back in 2019 that shocked the entire NBA kawhai had just won a championship in one of the most historic runs in NBA history and Paul George is a superstar who was in his prime in his career amidst these two joining forces PG himself said in

The first season it was a championship or bust season for the Clippers that was a pretty bold statement he made but it shows you the expectations this team had however since this announcement things for the duo would be far from what was expected in their first year together

They achieved the second seed in the west and in the playoffs after taking the first round they faced the Denver Nuggets and went up 3 to one in that series however if there’s one thing that we all can agree on is that no lead is safe with Doc Rivers behind the team and

The Clippers eventually choked this lead and lost in the semi sem finals in the next season things were looking a bit more promising this team made it back to the playoffs with ease and they beat the Mavs in the first round however in game four against Utah in the semifinals

Kawhai was ruled out for the rest of the series with knee issues and so it was just Paul George having to carry the load for the rest of the playoffs but in the Western Conference Finals the Phoenix Suns steamrolled the Clippers and they were out in yet again a

Disappointing fashion the next year PG and kawhai were both out for the majority of the season and without the two stars this team didn’t even make the playoffs and in just last season these two stars would yet again be plagued by injuries with Paul George out for most

Of the season and kawhai getting injured in game one of the playoffs the Clippers would then eventually go on to lose in five games in the first round and that brings us to this season where the Clippers have had an extremely underwhelming Kawai and PG Le era fans were expecting big things especially

From from what came out of PG’s mouth but had nothing to show for thus far but after adding two more Superstars to this roster with Harden and Westbrook the Clippers are in a franchise defining moment right now the organization already locked up kawhai back in January giving him a three-year $150 million

Deal but nothing has progressed on the flip side as mentioned earlier PG is far from a contract extension with the Clippers and with Paul George being a free agent this summer it is extremely concerning for this franchise but if things couldn’t get any worse for the Clippers James Harden who is currently

Making $35 million approaching his final year in his contract is also becoming a free agent this summer oh and I forgot Westbrook the last of the four Superstars conveniently enough is also becoming a free agent this summer 75% of the Clipper Superstars are expiring this summer which means the franchise has big

Decisions to make in the very near future but the whole reason why they haven’t gave PG an extension yet is because of uncertainty the Clippers if they want to keep Harden in Westbrook need to give them boats load of cash and put simply they cannot do this due to

The luxury tax but at the same time just last off season they acquired these two superstars to win and they gave up lots of draft capital and young stars to do this they can’t just let these two stars walk for nothing so they have to make something work despite the tight squeeze

That they’re in right now and the only saving grace the Clippers have is this year’s playoffs this is the real Championship or bus time for the Clippers and if this team doesn’t win a championship Paul George is an unrestricted free agent and so was James Harden and Russell Westbrook they will

All demand big money and if the Clippers can’t fulfill their demands and the franchise is incapable of winning with this group of stars it makes no sense for them to stay with the Clippers I mean look at the Brooklyn Nets just last year they had all the stars who are

Arguably even better than the Clippers who could not win and with the caliber of players that they are they can simply request a trade to a team who will pay them a lot of money and build a championship Squad around them and so far after the All-Star break the

Clippers team has been looking mediocre and they are at the bottom of the league in defensive ratings despite PG and kawhai being one of the best two-way players the league has ever seen with the playoffs around the corner and this team not being at the optimal level

Things are looking very shaky for the Clippers and it can very well turn into the net situation a collusion of all these stars but nothing to show far leaving a franchise in dust but let me know what you guys think will the Clippers win a championship this year
