Rising in age after leaving the postseason in the first round is not something the LA Clippers should be striving for this summer. It is unintentional, as there are veterans like Chris Paul who could make the team better. However, head coach Tyronn Lue will need a youngster’s legs and athleticism next season, and he will end up looking to the basketball gods for answers as no solution exists in the rotation.
The Clippers have not made anything official with Paul, yet a 37-year-old Brook Lopez and a 32-year-old Bradley Beal were signed recently, and they are expected to carry a heavy load for both units in 2025-26.
