The Los Angeles Clippers, with stars like James Harden, Kawhi Leonard, and potentially Bradley Beal, set their sights on the NBA championship next season.

The Clippers' frontcourt looks better, but a mistake in free agency recruitment may cost them in the playoffs. Here’s how they can fix it.

With Beal working on a buyout agreement with the Phoenix Suns, the Los Angeles Clippers "are likely the leaders to sign the guard," per The Athletic's Law Murray, Dan Woike and Fred Katz. Beal "has also considered" the Milwaukee Bucks, Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Lakers.

The Jazz, Clippers and Heat completed a three-team trade highlighted by Norman Powell going from L.A. to Miami and John Collins heading from Utah to the Clippers.When discussing the trade during the latest episode of Brian Windhorst & The Hoop Collective,

The crosstown rivals are in West Group B for the third In-Season Tournament, along with the Memphis Grizzlies, Dallas Mavericks and New Orleans Pelicans.

The Clippers can offer Beal up to $5.3 million in salary this upcoming season. Los Angeles used most of its non-taxpayer mid-level exception to sign center Brook Lopez. The Clippers also made a trade that saw Norman Powell go to the Miami Heat and John Collins come to Los Angeles in a three-deal deal with the Utah Jazz.

The Los Angeles Lakers entered this offseason with one clear goal: to surround LeBron James and Luka Doncic with size, defense, and shooting. Instead, they've taken multiple losses, and it’s the Clippers who keep handing them out.
