Clippers officially announce Paul George trade sending Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Danilo Gallinari, Clippers' 2022, 2024 and 2026 first-round picks, Miami's 2021 and 2023 first-round picks and right to swap first-round picks in 2023 and 2025 to OKC. "Paul George is one of the greatest two-way players in our game," said Lawrence Frank, Clippers president of basketball operations. "... When you have the opportunity to acquire a contributor of his caliber, you do what it takes to bring him home... Following the lead of Steve Ballmer, we have plotted an aggressive course to build a championship contender, and acquiring Paul is a critical step."

The Clippers officially announce Kawhi Leonard's "historic" signing with the franchise. "This is a historic moment for our organization and our fans," said Lawrence Frank, Clippers president of basketball operations. "We are grateful and honored that Kawhi Leonard has decided to come home and join the L.A. Clippers. Kawhi is a peerless two-way player, a relentless worker and a natural fit for the serious, professional culture our group has established. He wins everywhere he goes, and he always has, from King High School to San Diego State to the NBA. Having him on our side is a tremendous privilege and a massive responsibility, one we will take very seriously. His expectation, and ours, is to contend for championships."
