On October 19, the NBA preseason has come to an end. Each team is preparing for the regular season. The first step is to determine the final roster. The Clippers first laid off three players, and then signed a two-way contract with Telford. So far, the team's 14+3 roster for the new season has been confirmed. The lineup is quite luxurious, and there is a chance to compete for the championship in the new season.

The Clippers officially announced that they would waive Jason Preston, Patrick Baldwin II and Taytay Washington II. Three of them have NBA playing experience, but unfortunately they still failed to stay. Among them, Taytay Washington was the Rockets' first-round pick, but unfortunately he failed to materialize. Next, the three of them can also choose to play in the Clippers Development League. They all signed Exhibit 10 contracts before.

Subsequently, the Clippers also announced that they had signed a two-way contract with Telford, this year's undrafted pick, which means he was converted into a regular player. Previously, the Clippers waived Flowers to free up a two-way contract spot. With Telford becoming a regular, all three two-way contract quotas stipulated by the Clippers have been filled. It is reported that Telford was able to get the opportunity to become a regular player, thanks to the football intelligence, defensive enthusiasm, versatility and tough performance he showed in the past few weeks of training, and finally got the opportunity to stay in the team.

In this way, the Clippers' 14+3 roster for the new season has been officially determined. Among them, the 14 officially contracted players are: Leonard, Harden, Beal, Zubac, Jones Jr., Collins, Paul, Lopez, Dunn, Batum, Bogdan, Kobe Brown, Niederhauser and Christie; the three two-way contract players are Jordan Miller, Sanders and Telford.

The rotation lineup is still very luxurious, with many former NBA All-Star players. They also achieved 3 wins and 1 loss in the preseason, showing good competitiveness.

The Clippers' performance in the free market this summer is still very good. They have successfully improved the lineup, especially in the interior, and made the lineup more reasonable. For the Clippers and Harden, they once again have a good opportunity to compete for the championship. The biggest enemy at present is health. After all, their average age is the largest in history. This is also the last chance for Harden. In the new season, he will continue to serve as the team's core defender. With more helpers around him, he can be more relaxed on the court. He does not need to go all out in the regular season. It depends on whether he can seize the last good opportunity.
