The Los Angeles Clippers still believe in a team led by the tandem of James Harden and Kawhi Leonard. Following the Clippers first-round series loss to the Denver Nuggets, Clippers president Lawrence Frank expressed that "I definitely believe in those two," about Harden and Leonard as the team's leaders on a potential championship team.

Kawhi Leonard is healthy going into the offseason for the first time since 2020, having played just 37 games before the Los Angeles Clippers lost in the first round of the playoffs. The team with the oldest roster in the league is staking its future on the two-time Finals MVP and All-Star James Harden.

Following Kawhi Leonard's exit from the playoffs this season, Lakers fans still appeared to be unhappy with his choice to join the Clippers instead of their team.
