2027 is a critical year for the Clippers? The team says that Carden s contract expires and may recover Alexander

On May 9, the NBA playoffs continued. The Clippers have been eliminated 4-3 by the Nuggets in the first round. When talking about the team's future prospects, Clippers reporter Law Murray revealed that 2027 will be a critical year for the Clippers, and the team may pursue Alexander by then.

In this year's first round of series, the Clippers were eliminated 4-3 by the Nuggets, and the team failed to make any breakthroughs in the playoffs for many years. With the Clippers being eliminated, their future prospects have become the focus of attention of the media and fans. It is reported that the Clippers are interested in introducing Brogdon to replace Simmons this summer, and may also get John Collins in a "less expensive way."

However, the more heavy speculation comes from Clippers reporter Law Murray. In the offseason look podcast, Law Murray said that the time when the Clippers truly reshape their facades is not in 2026, but more likely in the 2027 offseason. Law Murray said: "In 2027, the summer when Leonard, Harden and Powell's contracts expire, that is the key node - what kind of players will the Clippers pursue then? There has not been any in-depth research yet, but everything can happen, and I always think of Alexander."

Then Law Murray continued: "The Thunder are in a good situation now, but one of the fans who most hope that they will lose the playoffs is the Clippers. If you can say to Alexander, 'You haven't been successful here (the Thunder), maybe you should consider not renewing your contract and looking for other teams', that could be a turning point."

It is worth mentioning that Alexander was selected by the Clippers, and then he was sent to the Thunder in a deal involving George. It was also in Russia that Alexander grew into an All-Star player and a first-team player step by step, and this year he is about to become a regular season MVP.
