The LA Clippers issued a declaration of full faith in president of basketball operations Lawrence Frank as both sides agreed<\/a> to a contract extension on Tuesday, as per Sam Amick and Joe Vardon of The Athletic. Frank has been in his role as executive with the Clippers since the 2016-17 season. He was initially hired as vice president of basketball operations, and later promoted following the team\u2019s decision to remove the title from then head coach Doc Rivers.<\/p>\n

Lawrence Frank took a lot of heat<\/a> back in November when the decision was made to sent Chris Paul home from a road trip, and sever ties with the future Hall of Famer. However, amid a shaky start to the season and roster moves that some might have deemed questionable, it always appeared as if the Clippers were on track for a contract extension with Frank<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Frank\u2019s biggest moves during his tenure as Clippers front office executive were signing Kawhi Leonard as a free agent in the 2019 offseason, pulling off a trade for Paul George that same summer and trading for James Harden at the beginning of the 2023-24 season. With Frank in the front office, the Clippers reached their first ever Western Conference Finals appearance during the 2020-21 season.<\/p>\n

This past offseason, Frank addressed the Clippers\u2019 forward issues by trading Norman Powell to the Miami Heat in a three-team deal that landed John Collins. After a slow start to the season, Collins has found a role and made a strong impact, allowing Leonard to shift back to small forward.<\/p>\n

The Clippers recent two-way contract signings have also paid off in Jordan Miller and Kobe Sanders, both of whom have helped win games this season.<\/p>\n

Frank\u2019s first executive role was with the Clippers after initially joining Rivers\u2019 coaching staff in 2014. A long-time assistant in the NBA, Frank was head coach of the then New Jersey Nets from 2004-2009, and head coach of the Detroit Pistons from 2011-2013.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The LA Clippers issued a declaration of full faith in president of basketball operations Lawrence Frank as both…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":565633,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3789],"tags":[7,559,4034,192,4032,251,135,4033,4031,6],"class_list":["post-565632","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles-clippers","tag-basketball","tag-clippers","tag-la","tag-la-clippers","tag-laclippers","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-clippers","tag-losangeles","tag-losangelesclippers","tag-nba"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/115971136318960746","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/565632","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=565632"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/565632\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/565633"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=565632"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=565632"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=565632"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
