The Los Angeles Clippers are preparing to pursue a trade for Kawhi Leonard this offseason.

The San Antonio Spurs can offer Leonard a supermax contract extension, but many teams are expected to inquire about his availability in a trade.

It is not clear what the Clippers could offer that would trump probable offers from rival teams.

The Clippers traded away Blake Griffin this season and DeAndre Jordan is expected to become a free agent.

Following Chris Paul's exit from the Los Angeles Clippers last offseason, Steve Ballmer asked to meet with him.

Ballmer wanted to gain insight from Paul on why he left and also to share his thoughts on the state of the franchise.

Sources say Paul told Ballmer that Doc Rivers was one of the contributing factors on why he left.

Many of the longtime Clippers from that era noticed how Rivers grew frustrated with his inability to manage the locker room and began to act out himself. Some of the Clippers also noticed how Rivers takes on a salesmanship personality but could also fudge the truth.

C.J. Williams and the Los Angeles Clippers are finalizing a three-year deal.

Williams has been on a two-way deal this season for the Clippers.

Many around the NBA do not expect the New York Knicks to retain Jeff Hornacek this offseason.

Hornacek was hired by Phil Jackson while the Knicks are now run by Steve Mills and Scott Perry.

Doc Rivers and Mark Jackson are expected to be targeted by the Knicks. Jackson was fired by the Warriors in 2014 and has since worked in broadcasting.

There have also been reports that David Blatt could be a candidate as he has a close relationship with Mills.

The L.A. Clippers have signed guard Sean Kilpatrick to a second 10-day contract.

Kilpatrick, 28, has appeared in 41 games this season for the Clippers, Brooklyn Nets and Milwaukee Bucks, averaging 4.3 points and 1.5 rebounds in 9.8 minutes.

Avery Bradley has undergone surgery and will miss the remainder of the regular season.

The surgery repaired his adductor and rectus abdominis muscles.

The typical recovery time is six to eight weeks.

Bradley will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

DeAndre Jordan had 20 points and 23 rebounds in the Clippers' 116-102 win over the Cavaliers on Friday.

LeBron James was asked about the possible trade Cleveland could have made for Jordan at the deadline.

"I don't play fantasy basketball," James said. "I knew the conversations were going on from the outside. I seen it. If it would have happened it would have gave us a boost but it didn't happen so you move on."

Jordan can become a free agent in the offseason.

The Cavaliers instead made a pair of moves that netted Jordan Clarkson, Larry Nance Jr., Rodney Hood and George Hill.

The Los Angeles Clippers have agreed to a jersey sponsorship deal with Bumble.

Bumble is a dating app geared for women that also has functionality for friendship and business conversations. Bumble requires women to message first.

The Clippers are calling the Bumble logo on the uniform an "empowerment badge," pledging to invest in promoting gender equality.

"We wanted to do something where we could really stand out and do something meaningful," Clippers owner Steve Ballmer said. "The way it is positioned it becomes part of the game, so it's an opportunity to have more meaning for everybody."

The Clippers' deal with Bumble marks the 20th jersey patch alliance struck for this season, the first year of a three-year pilot program by the NBA.

The 10 teams that have yet to sign deals are the Chicago Bulls, Washington Wizards, Oklahoma City Thunder, Houston Rockets, Indiana Pacers, Dallas Mavericks, Phoenix Suns, Portland Trail Blazers, Memphis Grizzlies and San Antonio Spurs.

Bloomberg reports it will be worth $20 million over three years.

The Los Angeles Clippers have signed guard Sean Kilpatrick to a 10-day contract.

Kilpatrick, 28, has appeared in 39 games this season for the Brooklyn Nets and Milwaukee Bucks, averaging 4.4 points and 1.5 rebounds in 9.9 minutes.

The 6’4”, 210-pound guard has appeared in 144 career games (24 starts) across four NBA seasons with Minnesota, Denver, Brooklyn, and Milwaukee, holding averages of 10.1 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 19.7 minutes. A four-year player out of Cincinnati, Kilpatrick was named to the AP All-American First Team in his senior season.

Derrick Rose has yet to receive a significant offer since becoming a free agent. Rose has received several 10-day contracts, according to sources.

Rose was waived by the Jazz following his trade from the Cavaliers.

Rose signed a veteran's minimum contract in the offseason with Cleveland.

"The injuries and lack of enthusiasm to play hurts him," a Western Conference executive told B/R.

Rose has interest in an opportunity that could be a longer term fit.

"He's not trying to go into a developing situation or trying to find out who is he is," a person close to Rose told B/R. "He knows who he is as a player."

Rose's camp hopes the Thunder could have interest in him. Some rival general managers speculate that the Clippers are interested.

There has been no communication between Rose and the Wolves.
