As the Los Angeles Clippers seem focused on their finances for the first time during Steve Ballmer's tenure as governor, Brandon Boston Jr.'s time with the club could come to an end after three seasons.

Per ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, Boston will become an unrestricted free agent with the Clippers opting not to tender him a qualifying offer.

The more pressing matter for the Clippers right now is finding a resolution to the Paul George situation. He has to decide by the end of Saturday whether or not to opt in to his $48.8 million salary for next season.

Extension talks between George and the Clippers don't appear to have made much progress. ESPN's Brian Windhorst reported this week on Get Up that George wants a full four-year max, but Los Angeles has been offering three years at slightly less than a max salary.

While exact terms of the Clippers' offer to George aren't known, it sounds similar to the three-year, $153 million deal Kawhi Leonard signed with the club in January. He could have signed a four-year contract worth up to $223 million.

Along with the uncertainty around George's status with the Clippers, James Harden is set to become a free agent.

Per ESPN's Bobby Marks, the Clippers would likely push their payroll over $200 million, well above the $189.6 million threshold for the second apron, if they sign both George and Harden to new deals.

If both players were to leave, the Clippers would get out of the tax and have the $12.95 million non-taxpayer mid-level exception and $4.7 million bi-annual exception available.

Boston hasn't been a significant part of head coach Tyronn Lue's rotation over the past three seasons. The 22-year-old was the No. 51 overall pick in the 2021 NBA draft by the Memphis Grizzlies, who traded his draft rights to Los Angeles.

In 105 games with the Clippers, Boston has averaged 6.2 points on 39.6 percent shooting and 1.8 rebounds per contest. He scored a career-high 27 points in a 114-111 win over the Boston Celtics as a rookie on Dec. 8, 2021.
