“They’re done building around [Kawhi],” the staffer said. “They know that and he knows that.”

This may not come as a surprise to some, as Leonard is getting older, and he has been dealing with injuries for the past few seasons. It could be hard to build around somebody who doesn’t play much, and the Clippers could be looking toward the future with their roster.

As of now, it’s hard to see them building for the future when looking at their roster. They have a lot of older players, such as Leonard, James Harden, Chris Paul, and Nic Batum, and it will be interesting to see how things play out with them this season. Regardless of their age, they have still contributed at a high level wherever they’ve been in their career over the years.

For Leonard, it’s obvious that he is a star on the team, but the Clippers may want to go in a direction in the next two seasons where they don’t have to depend on him to lead them.
