Clippers executive Lawrence Frank declared: "During the two months spent with the team, Wilson fulfilled everything we could hope for, and more. His performances on and off the field have had a huge impact, and he shows a sense of urgency and professionalism in the arena every day.
It is reported that Wei Shao and the Clippers renewed their new contracts for 2 years and $7.8 million, with an annual salary of $3.8 million for the 23-24 season, and the second year is a player option; Last season, Wei's junior salary was as high as $47 million, and the new season's annual salary was only $3.8 million, and Wei stayed with the Clippers, with a salary cut of $43.2 million, the largest salary cut in history.

The Clippers also welcomed Plumra back to Los Angeles, and it is reported that the Warriors, Hawks and other teams wanted to recruit Plumra, but the latter refused to sign a larger contract with another team, and finally decided to return to the Clippers, signing a new contract for 1 year and $5 million.
Lawrence Frank says Plumra is a selfless player and we are grateful that he can return.

At present, the Clippers are pursuing Harden, after Harden executed the final year of $35.6 million player option and applied to the 76ers to leave, but Harden's trade value is not high, one of the main reasons is that the team that trades Harden can only get Harden's one-year use rights; It is reported that the Clippers offered Covington, Morris and Coffey, refused to take Mann and the draft pick, and the 76ers did not accept such an offer.
Will Harden be able to leave the team as he wishes? Wait and see, if the 76ers don't get a satisfactory return, Philadelphia is willing to let Harden stay on the team.
