The franchise from LA chose not to guarantee the guards a 21-million-dollar deal. Clips will decrease their projected tax bill from 169 million to 59 million dollars. The franchise is 18 million dollars over the 165-million-dollar tax threshold.

The team traded Luke Kennard and John Wall for Gordon and 3 future 2^nd round picks in February. Luke led the NBA in a 3-point shooting percentage for a 2^nd straight campaign.

Eric had 11 points and shot over 40 points from the 3-point line in 22 regular-campaign matches in his 2^nd period with the Clippers. In the playoffs, he performed worse as he averaged 10 points and shot 34% from behind the arc in his franchise 1^st round elimination from the Phoenix Suns.
