The Clippers have signaled that they will maintain payroll space flexibility with the goal of targeting 2027 in pursuit of Yannis Adetokounmpo and/or Nikola Jokic, according to Sam Amick. "The Warriors, who realize that both the Bucks' Alphabet and the Nuggets' Jokic have player options for the 2027-28 season, aren't the only teams chasing superstars. The Lakers, Clippers and other giants have released similar signals in recent months."
