Around the NBA: the L.A. Clippers reboot
Superstar Chris Paul may have left town, but the Los Angeles Clippers still look to remain relevant in a crowded Western Conference. The Los Angeles Clippers started the 2015-2016 season strong, but struggled down the stretch due to injury and inconsistency. In its five years together, the core of Chris Paul, Blake Griffin, and DeAndre Jordan never seemed to live up to its potential.

It’s cuz he gave his son that contract, huh? The Los Angeles Clippers have been on a strange path since losing star Chris Paul to the Houston Rockets. They did manage to re-sign Blake Griffin in addition to bringing over highly heralded Serbian 30-year-old star point guard Milos Teodosic. But they also signed former Knicks and Nuggets wing Danilo Gallinari, who promptly decided the best way to fit in with his new team was to pull a Blake Griffin and break his hand punching some other dude in the face. Now, we are laughing at the Clippers for yet another reason. As ESPN’s Adrian...
