With Powell out for the Clippers, they expect Beal to be their 2nd scorer besides Harden. Beal averaged around 18 PPG last season with the Phoenix which for me is still helpful, but doesn't equal to the amount of money that he's getting. It's good that the Suns bought him out already because his contract really is a big mess (shoutout to the Washington Wizards for giving him a contract like that).

The Clippers are lowkey winning in trades this off season as well. I mean they got Brook Lopez as their supporting big, and at the same time, they also got John Collins which is a good defender and can stretch the floor as well, and they got Beal as well in a friendly contract. As long as both Harden and Kawhi will be healthy especially during the playoffs, I will not be surprised if they will reach the NBA Finals TBH despite the stacked Western Conference. They still have a good depth and in today's era, the deeper bench players that you have, the higher your chances of winning a title.

That's the important thing, as long as Kawhi and Harden are healthy the chance is nit by far, knowing how those two scorers shared the court they've got a good blend of chemistries, theyjust fell short last season but now that Kawhi being kawhai again, together with Zubac, Collins and Beal that's a decent core it's more now on the side of the coaching staff if how they'll be playing those stars together and what system to run that will going to be fit on both defensive and offensive sides.

Looks like they're trying hard to get Chris Paul to come back as well. They don't have much in the way of bench players for their guards. I think they only have one reserve guard who can actually play... Chris Paul seems like an obvious fit to come back to LA. Then there's the fact that LeBron has always wanted to play with Chris Paul, and Chris Paul went to the Finals with DeAndre Ayton, so there's an argument to make that CP3 should finally make his way to the Lakers (they traded for him when Kobe was on the team but the league reversed it) for a final season for him and Bron.
