According to Joe Vardon and Sam Amick of ‘The Athletic,’ Lawrence Frank, the LA Clippers’ lead executive, has been extended by the franchise through what is speculated to be the next four years. Thus, the duties he has had will continue, but with the trade deadline under ten days, Frank has been granted the utmost job security, which could mean one thing: he has significant roster upgrades in mind that he did not want to invest in until he knew the franchise was committed to him.
Furthermore, Frank has been quite the executive, even though there are two very clear perceptions of his tenure: good, in the sense of consistent regular-season success, and poor, due to the fact that LA has not gotten out of the first round in years.
