The Clippers lineup is facing minor changes! One person returns and three people are difficult to stay in the team, Harden intends to re-sign a new contract

The Los Angeles Clippers performed well this season, achieving 50 wins and 32 losses, ranking fifth in the Western Conference. Unfortunately, they lost to the Nuggets in the first round of the playoffs, ending their journey early. After entering the offseason, the Clippers are also facing changes in their lineup. According to the latest news, it is difficult for three players whose contracts are about to expire to stay. Batum will return with the player option, and Harden plans to sign a new contract with the team.

The Clippers performed well this season. They finally achieved 50 wins without being favored. They were even favored in the playoffs. Unfortunately, they lost to the Nuggets in the first round, which is a bit regrettable. As the Clippers were eliminated in the playoffs early, the team also turned their attention to the offseason, hoping to make some changes to the roster so that they can be more competitive next season. The Clippers also have to face minor changes in the lineup. Batum has the player options in his hands. He had previously expressed his willingness to execute and return to the team. Next season may be his last season. Next is the expiration of the contract between Coffey and Simmons. Whether the former can return depends on the free market. Once a team provides him with a good contract, I believe the possibility of a return is almost zero. On Simmons, after joining the team, it did not bring enough help, and the possibility of returning is very small.

The other one is Eubanks. He joined the Clippers through trading and got some opportunities at one time, but unfortunately he failed to show his due performance. His contract is a non-guaranteed contract, and the possibility of returning to the team is very low. It depends on how he leaves. One is to supplement the bargaining chips, and the other is to be directly laid off. Obviously, the Clippers' future does not have the position of Eubanks.

The Clippers' main target is Harden, who holds the player options this summer. The news is that he tends to jump out of the player options and then sign a new contract with the Clippers. For the Clippers, they are also willing to stay Harden, and they are likely to choose to sign a two-year contract, which will be the same as Leonard's contract. Harden is also worth a good contract. This season he returns to the All-Star + Best Team, and averages 22.2 points, 5.8 rebounds and 8.7 assists per game in the regular season, which is the key to the team's playoffs.
