The latest news from the Clippers: Eubanks is expected to leave the team & Kofi Benci is unknown & Powell will not renew his contract in advance

According to comprehensive reports from the US media on June 5, the latest news about the NBA Clippers' offseason is summarized as follows:

1. The salary of substitute center Eubanks next season is not guaranteed. Given that his performance this season is unsatisfactory, it is likely to be traded or directly cut by the Clippers;

2. The forward Coffey and defender Ben Simmons will both return to freedom in the summer. Whether they can return to the Clippers will depend on the trading market conditions, and it is likely that it will be difficult to return to the team, especially Ben Simmons' performance is indeed a bit embarrassing; and for the forward veteran French sports car Batum has a player option contract of $4.8 million next season, he is expected to choose to execute this contract and then choose to retire with the Clippers.

3. Regarding the shooting guard Powell has hit a new peak in his personal career this season. He averaged 21.8 points + 3.2 rebounds + 2.1 assists + 1.2 steals + 0.2 blocks per game in the regular season, shooting percentage of 48.0%, three-point shooting percentage of 40.0%, and free throw shooting percentage of 80.0%. He still has a $20.48 million contract with the Clippers next season. The Clippers hope to maintain the freedom of the team's salary space in the summer of 2027, so this offseason is temporarily suspended to reach an early renewal with Powell, which will help the Clippers use Powell's expiration contract to chase other stars this summer or next season.

4. Regarding the focus of Harden's contract renewal with the Clippers, according to the analysis of more and more American media, he will choose to refuse to execute the player option contract of $36.35 million next season, and may re-sign a 1+1 two-year contract renewal contract with the Clippers. As for the renewal amount, Harden will definitely satisfy him. The Clippers plan to make Harden's contract deadline consistent with Leonard's contract deadline, so that the two may at least cooperate until the 2026-2027 season.
