Beal has a player option that ideally would have been declined so that he could sign another contract, but his injury cancels those plans, and he is expected to remain on LA’s roster.

Mat Ishbia: "Well, those are definitely great thoughts — and it’s important to think about philosophy and how the CBA changes things. But here’s what I’d say about those moves — and look, Kevin and Brad are great guys. Nothing about them specifically. But I’ll say this: We didn’t do — and I didn’t do — a good enough job defining what kind of guys and what kind of team we were going to be." "So therefore, before I go after a big acquisition — a top-10, top-15 player — it better fit our culture and our organization, and how we’re going to do things." "Now I have that DNA. I’ve defined it. We didn’t define it before. Back then, the thinking was: grab a bunch of talented players, throw them together, get a past championship coach, don’t worry about the luxury tax, and just go try to compete. That didn’t work. So it’s been a great learning experience for me."

Law Murray: Tyronn Lue: "When we first came into the season, we thought we had a great team, we thought we had a great chance. And so when you lose Bradley Beal, when you lose Kawhi, you lose Derrick Jones, you lose Bogie, things can get hard. And so they have been hard for us"
The Athletic’s Law Murray on Clippers: This team has been very committed to Kawhi Leonard and very committed to James Harden. Before that, they were very committed to Paul George. Paul George isn't there because the CBA changed. If the CBA was the same CBA as the previous one compared to what we have now, the Clippers would have paid Paul George because Steve Ballmer was like, ‘What luxury tax? Who cares?’ There's so many penalties under the CBA that they had to tell Paul, ‘Look, you got to be reasonable if we're building a team a certain type of way.’ The partnership with James is so strong that James’ contract is the way it is. They were able to get players, get someone like Bradley Beal. There's a big partnership there and the Clippers having a plan, a current plan and the next plan. Steve Ballmer is like, ‘Yeah, I'd rather work with these guys and try and find someone else’. Someone else from the outside is going to have to do it with an old team and new relationships and no first-round picks in the foreseeable future. It's kind of hard to recruit. I mean, LA is nice, Intuit Dome's nice, but that's still a situation where it's not it's not the best situation to get the best guy for the job, if that makes sense. So, if that's the case, you can make a change, but are you going to be better or you’re just spinning your wheels? If you're going to spin your wheels, I think they've concluded that doing it with the guys in place is the best option.

Run It Back: John Wall says he and Bradley Beal would win a backcourt 2v2 tournament against Mitchell-Garland, and Maxey-Edgecome 🗣️ "Maxey and Garland definitely shoot the ball better... but (me and Beal) both can guard."
Ty Lue on the frustration of Clippers fans: “Shit, I’m upset too. It is what it is. When you don’t have your best player and your third best player in Brad, it’s tough. When you structure training camp and preseason around certain guys, your core guys, and they’re not there — it takes some time to get used to others taking on new roles… Stay patient. Be patient. We’ve been through this before. As fans, as coaches, as players, as an organization. It’s no different. We’ll figure it out. We’ll be okay.” He later added, “For our fans — they’ve been behind us this long… They’ve seen this story time and time again. To jump off the bandwagon right now, it’s not fair. We’re gonna be okay.”
