Amir Coffey and Ben Simmons are incumbent free agents, and while both were rotation players entering the postseason, they were both out of the mix by the end of the Denver series. In Coffey's case, he didn't play a single minute in the playoffs. Coffey and Simmons are both expected to get better offers elsewhere than they will from the Clippers, with Simmons in particular looking at teams with exceptions; he's not looking for a minimum deal.
Current backup center Drew Eubanks has a $4.75 million non-guaranteed contract for the 2024-25 season and is not expected to return. Eubanks could either be included as a salary filler in a trade or waived by the Clippers. The returns of Amir Coffey, depending on his free agent market, and Ben Simmons are also not certain. It’s worth noting the Clippers expect 36-year-old French forward Nicolas Batum to return next season. Batum has a $4.9 million player option for next season.
