The Los Angeles Clippers completed a trade to send Chris Paul to the Houston Rockets earlier in the week, bringing back an array of assets that included multiple players and a future first round pick. The move has left fans wondering what the direction of the franchise now is.
Los Angeles reportedly hopes to retain Blake Griffin in free agency. They also have interest in several top-tier free agent small forwards, according to Brad Turner of the L.A. Times. Among them: Rudy Gay, Andre Iguodala and Danilo Gallinari.

The Clippers could pursue one or two of these players and continue to aim towards contention, or opt to start over and rebuild. Joe Ingles and Jonathon Simmons will be restricted free agents, but the rest will be unrestricted.
Free agency opens on Saturday, July 1 at midnight.
