Kawhi Leonard

SF, Los Angeles Clippers

Stephen A. Smith is hearing that Kawhi Leonard has "privately clamored" for the Clippers to add a point guard.

A rough postseason put the Clippers' flaws on full display, and the lack of a true orchestrator was a major problem. Patrick Beverley is a tenacious defender but doesn't necessarily fit the mold of a traditional point guard, so adding a real playmaker to help alleviate the pressure on the Clippers' top talent should be a major priority this offseason. The organization has hitched its wagon to Leonard so we'd expect his input to play a big role in the team's future moves.

The Clippers have hired Ty Lue to be their next head coach per Adrian Wojnarowski.

The Clippers will sign him to a five-year deal and his staff will include Chauncey Billups as an assistant coach along with Larry Drew.

Kawhi Leonard

Team, Los Angeles Clippers

On Tuesday, the Clippers interviewed Sam Cassell for their head coaching position that became available when Doc Rivers was dismissed.

Cassell spent six years as an assistant to Rivers, so he is familiar with the organization. However, he is merely one of several potential candidates, which include Mike Brown and Ty Lue.

Mike Brown recently interviewed for the head coaching position with the Clippers, making a strong impression on those involved, per Marc Stein.

While there has been no formal indication as to who the Clippers are going to go with, Brown has clearly put himself in the running for the recently vacated head coaching position. Ty Lue had been viewed as the early favorite to secure the role after management opted to part ways with Doc Rivers. Both Brown and Lue have previous head coaching experience and would bring a wealth of experience to the role. Stay tuned for further updates over the coming weeks.

Paul George

SF, Los Angeles Clippers

Jovan Buha of The Athletic is reporting that Tyronn Lue is a candidate in the Clippers' coaching search.

Lue was an assistant with LA last season and is already said to be a candidate for other gigs around the league, namely Philadelphia. ESPN previously reported that analyst Jeff Van Gundy is in the mix as well, and he's been connected to the Rockets. Monday's surprising dismissal of Doc Rivers was said to have been the result of several things building up over the years rather than this past season's disappointing finish, and the team is looking for a high-level thinker who "values progress and innovation," as well as someone who can better develop young players and uphold an identity built on toughness and grit.

Marc Stein of NY Times is reporting that Jeff Van Gundy and Ty Lue have emerged as the early favorites to become the next head coach of the Clippers.

Lue appears to suddenly be in great demand around the league with the Sixers, the Pelicans and the Rockets reportedly after him. The report says that the Clippers may have decided to part ways with Doc Rivers because they didn’t want to lose him to a contender, although this seems to be a stretch. Van Gundy meanwhile hasn’t coached an NBA team since back in 2007 when he spent four years with the Rockets. Look for more names to come up in the next few days although it’s almost certain that the Clippers will hire a veteran coach.

Doc Rivers's tenure with the Clippers appears to have come to an end, according to Adrian Wojnarowski, although the exact details are yet to be revealed.

While this does come as somewhat of a shock, the writing may have been on the wall, so to speak. The Clippers were unceremoniously ousted from the playoffs, bringing to an end what was seen as their best chance for a title. While the blame can be placed on any number of individuals, the chemistry within the team appeared to be an ongoing issue. Rivers has put together an impressive coaching resume and if he elects to remain as a lead man, he should have no trouble finding a willing suitor for the upcoming season.

Montrezl Harrell

PF, Los Angeles Clippers

According to Sam Amico of Sports Illustrated, the Mavs are expected to have interest in Montrezl Harrell this offseason, as will the Raptors, Bulls and Knicks.

The Clippers, as has been reported elsewhere already, are also expected to be interested in continuing their current relationship with Harrell. The bubble was generally unkind to the Sixth Man of the Year as he was repeatedly attacked on defense, but his energy and efficient offensive game are standout facets. It should also be noted that Harrell missed a huge chunk of the Orlando session while away for personal matters and may not have been operating at full strength. One thing is for certain, however — even with a poor postseason showing, Harrell's due for a big raise over last season's $6 million salary.
