If the Clippers give John Wall the Tax MLE, then LA won’t have it to give to Isaiah Hartenstein.
Hartenstein is pretty good and that could make him gettable for a lot of teams looking for a big. – 9:56 PM

Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBS
My big question for the Clippers is if they’re getting Wall for the MLE or the minimum. If it’s the MLE, they might be at risk of losing Isaiah Hartenstein, who was one of the most underrated players in the NBA last season. – 9:52 PM

More on this storyline

 

Marc Stein: It’s well-known among rival teams interested in Hartenstein, league sources say, that he has strong interest in re-signing with the Clippers. The Clips’ forthcoming signing of John Wall, however, severely limits what they can offer the in-demand big man. -via Twitter @TheSteinLine / June 30, 2022

Even so, Lue didn’t have trouble finding this season’s silver linings, with an eye on the future following an offseason in which the Clippers’ free agents will be Covington and backup center Isaiah Hartenstein as well as third-year wing Amir Coffey (restricted) and Batum, who has a player option. “I think it’s been an unbelievable season for our guys, everything we had to go through,” he said. “Like our fans staying loyal, continuing to support throughout the whole season … for the guys in the locker room, like, scrapped, the way we competed all year long. No matter who played, was in the rotation, who was in and out. “We have to hold our heads high. Some great things to be proud of. Get ready, keep rebuilding and get ready for next year.” -via Orange County Register / April 16, 2022
