NBA Clippers will lose Collins next season if they don t win the championship

According to the NBA Clippers' reporter's analysis: The 2025-2026 season is crucial to the Clippers. Although they have excellent recruitment and upgraded their talents in the offseason, they have successively won four excellent players, including Lopez, John Collins, Bill and Chris Paul, if they fail to win the championship in the new season, it will be difficult for the Clippers to provide John Collins with a long-term contract renewal, which is like letting away shooting guard Powell.

The NBA Clippers, Jazz and Heat traded in the 2025 offseason. The Clippers obtained the expiration contract rights of power forward John Collins for the last year, but the latter has a five-year, $125 million contract signed by the Hawks before. The Clippers have two years left for the contract with Harden and Leonard. Then John Collins will definitely not choose to renew the contract for a year after the contract expires. This is a very embarrassing situation for the Clippers. Unless they really win the championship next season, the Clippers management will do their best to keep this championship lineup.

John Collins could easily score a double-double of nearly 18+10 last season under the Jazz's time and appearance restrictions. It is obvious that he can match his average annual salary of $25 million. His aggressiveness and dominance on both offense and defense are also very suitable for the current Clippers. Unfortunately, there are not many opportunities left for the Clippers. Maybe in the end, he can only use John Collins for one season!
