The Los Angeles Clippers, despite a challenging 6-21 start, are not planning a fire sale before the trade deadline, focusing instead on adding an impact player alongside James Harden and Kawhi Leonard. Owner Steve Ballmer remains committed to competitiveness, especially after the team’s five-game winning streak. With no 2026 first-round pick to incentivize tanking and Harden showing no desire to leave, the Clippers are exploring trade options while maintaining salary-cap flexibility for future seasons. They continue to receive interest in players like Ivica Zubac and Derrick Jones Jr. as they aim for a Play-In spot.
