Realizing they will be in the gap for a year or two, they have decided to prioritize patching things up with their former savior and getting a second chance. They know they can't win a title right now; in fact, they could be in the bubble/out of the playoffs in those same one or two years. But at the very least they want to make things right with the guys who made them relevant.
Notice I said "guys." I would keep an eye on DeAndre Jordan if I were you. Even though he is still on contract with Nuggets, the fact they traded former Clipper Reggie Jackson means that he might be on the way out too. If Paul returns, so will Jordan.
Also, if they trade George, rumor has it Westbrook and Harden are out as well. So it will just be Leonard and a lot of role players, and their best acquisition has been assistant coach Jeff Van Gundy.
The inaugural Intuit Dome season may end up being a retirement tour for the remnants of Lob City. And the start of a new era.
Sounds like a nice story, but Clippers would get Paul back because his contract works, not because of patching anything up, and there's nothing to patch up as both sides got what they wanted when he left.
The Clippers also will 100% not sign DJ regardless of what happens. Denver traded for Holmes for a reason as DJ is not even a good backup anymore.
