NBA Free Agency: 3 Reasons why Kevin Durant should sign with the Los Angeles Clippers

Kevin Durant had arguably become the best player in the world judging by how he was torching teams in the playoffs. But, an unfortunate injury halted his playoffs and the Warriors ended up losing in the NBA finals. Despite an Achilles injury, Kevin Durant is one of the biggest players available in this year's Free Agency.

For months he has been linked with the New York Knicks. He has been touted as the guy to reinvigorate the biggest market in the country. The Knicks also did a great job in creating cap space to sign two free agents. It was rumored that both Kyrie Irving and Durant were planning to join forces in New York. But Durant's Achilles injury has changed things and he is expected to miss the entirety of 2019-20 season.

The Clippers are a more stable franchise than the Knicks and just pushed a full strength Warriors side to six games in the playoffs.

Here are the three reasons why Kevin Durant should sign with the Los Angeles Clippers.

#3 The Clippers are the top free agent destination for Kawhi Leonard

Kawhi Leonard is one of the best players in the game

If the Clippers only manage to add Kawhi Leonard to their roster next season, they will be one of the strongest contenders for the championship. Add one of the most unstoppable offensive forces in NBA history in Kevin Durant and it won't even be fair to the other teams.

Kawhi Leonard had a historic season for the Raptors. He was just awarded the finals MVP.

The Clippers have put themselves in a great position. They don't have the space for two max FAs right now but can easily create by trading Danilo Gallinari who is owed $22.7M next season. The pairing of Kevin Durant and Kawhi Leonard would be very enticing for the Clippers and they would become the next big team in the NBA.

#2 Very good crop of existing players

The Clippers have a great young core right now. Lou Williams is coming off another Sixth Man of the Year award. Montrezl Harrell has become a beast down low. His effort and energy galvanizes the entire team.

Danilo Galinari is a great three point shooter and is a perfect player for today's NBA. Shai Alexander had a very good rookie season and looks like a very good pickup for the Clippers. This existing group of players played hard and competitive throughout last season. Despite being written off at the start of the season, they made it to the playoffs.

Kevin Durant will slide in perfectly with the team. He can provide the leadership and the superstar power to the Clippers side. He can take them to the next level and they will be a championship contender for years to come.

#1 Great front office executives and the Los Angeles market:

The Los Angeles Clippers possess some of the best front office executives. Jerry West is a special consultant for the Clippers. He was responsible for the Warriors dynasty. He has also done a great work with some shrewd moves for the Clippers.

The Clippers also have a proven head coach in Doc Rivers. Rivers already has a championship on his resume with the Boston Celtics. He is one of the most elite coaches in the NBA.

Kevin Durant will also be enticed by the Los Angeles market. It is the second biggest market in the country. He can compete on a daily basis against LeBron James and Anthony Davis who are a part of the Los Angeles Lakers. If he wins a title with the Clippers, then he will undoubtedly become the best player in the world.
