Clippers get younger in draft, then make final case to retain veteran stars

New York Times  

The LA Clippers had the oldest roster in the NBA in 2023-24, with an average age of 30.4 years. “It’s the way the board fell,” Clippers president of basketball operations Lawrence Frank said on drafting Christie. Just like in early May, when Frank said shortly after the Clippers were eliminated by the eventual Western Conference champion Dallas Mavericks that George “can sign his extension up to July 1 and he can also test free agency and we’re hopeful that we can still bring him back,” Frank acknowledged that George could reach unrestricted free agency. Frank described the negotiations with Harden and his representatives as “very productive,” and all signs point to Harden staying with the Clippers, although Harden might not be resolved until George makes his decision. “When your better players are in their 30s and you’re trying to build a sustainable roster, it impacts it,” Frank said.
