LA Clippers: 4 offseason goals to prioritize for the front office

In addition to Isaiah Hartenstein, Nicolas Batum and Robert Covington will be free agents. Short of trading one of their big-money players (perhaps Marcus Morris or Luke Kennard), the Clippers aren’t going to have much wiggle room in free agency.
If LA is going to be a contender in the Western Conference next season, they’re going to need to figure out how to add more depth (or even just re-sign the right players).
