James Harden and his Los Angeles Clippers didn’t get far in the playoffs, but they still enjoyed their most successful season together. What’s next for Harden and his team? Speaking with ESPN, president of basketball operations Lawrence Frank made it clear that he wants Harden to pick up his player option this summer.

Kawhi Leonard is healthy going into the offseason for the first time since 2020. He played just 37 games before the Los Angeles Clippers lost in the first round of the playoffs.

The Los Angeles Clippers still believe in a team led by the tandem of James Harden and Kawhi Leonard. Following the Clippers first-round series loss to the Denver Nuggets, Clippers president Lawrence Frank expressed that "I definitely believe in those two," about Harden and Leonard as the team's leaders on a potential championship team.
