Clippers offseason chaos
The Los Angeles Clippers have had a crazy offseason after Kawhi Leonard's investigation stripped them of five first-round picks and multiple fines.
Leonard era ends
The Clippers and Toronto Raptors can process a trade sending Leonard to Toronto for Brandon Ingram, Gradey Dick, two unprotected first-round picks, two second-round picks, and a pick swap.
Seven new faces
The Clippers have seven new players this season, ranked by expected impact on the team.
7. Baba Miller
Baba Miller, a 6'11" second-round pick from Cincinnati, should spend most of the season in the G League with limited playing time.
6. Johni Broome
Johni Broome, a 24-year-old rookie, will spend most of the season in the G League after the 76ers traded him and a 2027 second-round pick to LA for cash.
5. Gradey Dick
Gradey Dick, a 2023 first-round pick, shot 30 percent from three last season but is likely buried in the depth chart after several guards joined the rotation.
4. Max Strus
Max Strus, acquired in a three-team trade, brings shooting and defense to LA but doesn't fill an immediate need.
3. Rui Hachimura
Rui Hachimura, a former Lakers forward, averaged 17.5 points per game and shot 57 percent from beyond the arc during the playoffs.
2. Keaton Wagler
Keaton Wagler, acquired with a top-five pick, is expected to play at a high level but it's unclear if he'll start or come off the bench.
1. Brandon Ingram
Brandon Ingram, the Clippers' best player after the trade, averaged 20+ points per game for the seventh consecutive season.
In short
The Clippers traded Kawhi Leonard to the Toronto Raptors for Brandon Ingram, who becomes their best player after the trade.
