It appears Bradley Beal has a renewed vigor on the LA Clippers, as he laid out his ambitions in a new interview.

Bradley Beal is set to get a fresh start next season.

After Beals two disappointing seasons with the Phoenix Suns , both sides decided to mutually part ways.

Beal would sign with the LA Clippers after agreeing to a buyout with the Suns.

Despite several teams vying to get his signature, Beal opted to stay close to his new home out West.

This move worked out well, as Beal plugs in a gap the Clippers created when they traded Norman Powell .

The former All-Star is likely to be a starter next season.

Kendrick Perkins believes Beals career is riding on next season , as he has been underperforming for too long at this point.

Well, it appears Beal has found his motivation with the LA Clippers .

When discussing his recent move to the LA Clippers, the former All-Star outlined his major goal.

Beal reiterated that his ultimate goal is to win an NBA championship.

He added that the new environment of the Clippers has reinvigorated his desire to win a championship.

I need a ring.

You know I want one bad.

I felt like I got a new life of rejuvenation, for sure.

A new hunger.

Im excited about the opportunity.

New city, new environment.

But a hungry environment, too.

Definitely excited about the opportunity to go win.

Its good to hear that Beal has found his motivation in basketball again.

But motivation alone wont help him and the LA Clippers, as they have deeper problems that could cost them.

"I need a ring." Bradley Beal speaks about signing with the @LAClippers , his connection to teammate CP3, and why he gives to the next generation of St.

Louis talent with @BradBealElite .

The Clippers 2025-26 NBA roster will be the oldest roster in history, with an average age of 33.2 years old.

While they have some talented players, the Clippers are very much at the mercy of Father Time here.

The last time an NBA team assembled a roster of veteran players past their primes, it was the 2021-22 LA Lakers.

And fans will need little reminding of just how poorly that turned out for them.

Kendrick Perkins mocked the Clippers aging roster recently.

And while Perkins has a tendency to engage in histrionics, its hard to argue against the points he made.

Perhaps the wealth of experience can help the Clippers overcome their age and their declining physical capabilities next season..
