    From being a contender getting Kawhi and Paul George in 2019, not to mention two more MVPs in Westbrook and James Harden and still they head to another reset for the franchise. Where do the Clippers go from here?

      Clippers dodged a bullet by not giving George the 4 years $220 million that he wanted. Clippers got better with Derick jones , Kevin porter, batum , mo bamba, and soon to be a clippers tyus jones . In 2 years, clippers will have two max slots to go shopping. Future looks bright for Steve ballmer

    One underrated factor that stunted the clippers is the clippers neglecting the draft process. Even when they traded SGA n all the picks they had a chance to get Claxton in 2019, Xavier Tillman 2020, Ayo/Herb jones 2021, 2023 GG Jackson. Those pass ups were awful even without hindsight and the clippers were just too in love with making splashy moves.

    I am sorry, but the easy way out he told the Clippers to go get PG or he wasn't signing with them, he would just join the Lakers. Also Lebron could have truly taken the true easy way and signed with the Celtics coming off a 7 games final lost against the Lakers a la KD

    The Clippers are on of the three teams I am a fan of (#3), so I was so hype when Kawhi and PG joined the Clippers (especially cuz Kawhi is my favorite player of this passing era). But the injury issues and underachieving when they did play was terrible. Everybody wants to blame Doc Rivers for all that, but outside of Kawhi (who has stayed injured for literally half of his Clippers run and playoffs) all the players that Rivers failed with didn't win anything before of after him, most failing spectacularly. I could go through the list but I challenge anybody to find me a player that doesn't fit that description.
