As a result of what they accomplished, the LA Clippers came out looking great.
ESPN senior writer Kevin Pelton had this to say about the Clippers’ offseason:
Taking full advantage of owne devin booker los suns jerseyr Steve Ballmer’s phoenix suns devin booker jersey checkbook, the Clippers have been able to retain just about all of the depth that enabled them to stay competitive last season without Kawhi Leonard and with Paul George limited to 31 games.

The Clippers did lose backup center Isaiah Hartenstein, indi devin booker all star jerseycating they’ll likely play more small classic suns jerseyball this season to take full advantage of their unparalleled wing depth. Instead of looking to replace Hartenstein, the Clippers used their taxpayer midlevel to add John Wall to upgrade at point guard.
Ultimately, Pelton gave the Clippers a ‘B+’ grade for what they did. It was tied with the Golden State Warriors, Houston Rockets and San Antonio Spurs for being the second-best grade of any team in the conference behind only the Utah Jazz, who received an ‘A’ after trading star center Rudy Gobert for a haul of picks.
It seems like a pretty fair grade for the Clippers with all things considered. The only notable addition they made was Wall, but there’s something to be said for retaining the vast majority of your key free agents. With Hartenstein being the only departure among the team’s rotation players, it stands to reason this was a highly successful offseason for the Clippers.
All that remains is for the Clippers to go into the season with health on their side thanks to the returning Kawhi Leonard and Paul George and see if they can bring home the franchise’s first-ever championship.
