The Los Angeles Clippers arguably overhauled their roster more than any other team in the NBA this offseason. Here is a look at their full slate of roster moves.
The Los Angeles Clippers had one of the most action-packed offseasons in the NBA. They started off strong by buying into the second round and nabbing two quality prospects. Then, they secured what was probably the best return in a superstar trade this summer before the Cleveland Cavaliers shook the NBA world with the Kyrie Irving trade (possibly).
Their draft machinations and the Chris Paul trade alone would have been enough to make the Clippers one of this offseason’s most active teams. However, they did not stop there. The team revamped their roster with another sign-and-trade and brought on additional help with their free agency signings. Even the front office got a few much-needed infusions of new blood.
The Clippers could have decided to tear down the roster and rebuild. Once Chris Paul told them that he would not return, the team could have let Blake Griffin walk and traded DeAndre Jordan for future assets. Instead, they opted to re-tool the roster around Griffin. Only time will tell whether that was the right decision, but the Clippers did a solid job of adding pieces to keep the team in playoff position.
