What happened: Watson's new contract runs four years and $88 million. An unprotected 2031 first-round pick and a 2032 second-rounder also change hands.
Why it matters: The move gives the Clippers a proven floor spacer for 2026-27. It also converts Watson's restricted free agency into a long-term commitment.
By the numbers: Strus averaged 11.2 points in 12 regular-season games in 2025-26, making 40.2% of his 6.8 three-point attempts per game.
What to watch: Training camp will show how Strus fits into the Clippers' wing rotation.
