LA Clippers make some great off season trades and free agent signings for the 2025-2026 season- July 2025
The LA Clippers had a busy offseason in 2025, focused on re-signing key players, adding depth, and making strategic trades. They brought back James Harden and Nicolas Batum, and added Bradley Beal, John Collins, and Brook Lopez. Norman Powell was traded to the Miami Heat, and Drew Eubanks was waived.
- James Harden: Re-signed with the Clippers on a two-year deal.
- Nicolas Batum: Re-signed with the Clippers on a two-year deal.
- Bradley Beal: Acquired via a two-year deal.
- John Collins: Acquired via a trade with the Utah Jazz.

- Chris Paul: Signed to a one-year deal.
- Yanic Konan Niederhauser: Signed as a rookie draft pick.
- Norman Powell: Traded to the Miami Heat.

The Clippers focused on addressing depth concerns, particularly in the frontcourt, after losing Paul George. The additions of Beal, Collins, and Lopez significantly bolster their roster, making them a deeper and more versatile team. The re-signing of Harden and Batum provides continuity, while the return of Chris Paul adds veteran leadership and playmaking. The Clippers are now considered a strong contender in the Western Conference, although their ability to compete for a championship will depend on the health of Kawhi Leonard
