The Los Angeles Clippers don't intend to be sellers ahead of the Feb. 5 trade deadline, sources told The Athletic's Sam Amick.
Despite the Clippers starting the season with a disappointing 6-21 record, a current five-game winning streak has buoyed the organization's hopes, Amick adds. Los Angeles sits 2.5 games back of the Western Conference's final play-in spot ahead of Thursday's visit from the Utah Jazz.
Reports have linked Kawhi Leonard and James Harden as potential trade pieces if Los Angeles decides to make significant moves. However, Harden's Bird rights allow him to veto a trade this season, and the MVP has a $42.3-million player option for next campaign. Meanwhile, Leonard has one season left on a three-year, $149.5-million deal and is set to become an unrestricted free agent in 2027.
