A new chapter is unfolding for Los Angeles Clippers, but it requires the strong will of a management that must take on responsibilities and risks. The main one is to bet on rebuilding around the young players acquired halfway through this season, trust their Draft selection, and trade Kawhi Leonard.
It may seem far-fetched to part ways with a player who ended last season with tremendous performances, proving to be a great NBA star, but the truth is that Kawhi Leonard's career moment is completely incompatible with that of Los Angeles Clippers. The Los Angeles franchise must look to the future and understand that, with the arrival of Darius Garland and Benedict Mathurin, they can aim for significant things in the short and medium term.
Being fortunate enough to have the 5th pick in a very deep and talented NBA Draft 2026 allows the Los Angeles Clippers to consider trading Kawhi Leonard at a time when they could obtain significant pieces in return, either to compete immediately or to continue building for the short and medium term future. There will be franchises interested in adding a Kawhi Leonard who can still be a contender for everything.
