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.

James Harden played well in the regular season but struggled in the playoffs. Lawrence Frank says keeping Harden remains the Clippers' "first priority."

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.
