If we make a little Back to the Future three summers back, we couldn’t even recognize the Los Angeles Clippers. There was still the old logo on the floor of the Staples Center, but above all, the team was still carried by the trio Chris Paul – Blake Griffin – DeAndre Jordan. Nothing for the shot of old, it was free. And to think that was just three short years ago. A year later, in the summer of 2017, the Clippers pulled off arguably one of their best moves without even realizing it when they got half of Houston’s roster back from an aging CP3 who didn’t want to play anyway. for Lob City. And against the Point God, the Clipps notably recovered Pat Beverley, Lou Williams et Montrezl Harrell. Is it starting to tell you something?
And after a 2017-18 season of adaptation where LA suffered a lot of injuries from its pillars, the Sailboats have defied all predictions this year. A magnificent eighth spot that took them to a very honorable first round against the defending champions. We all remember the famous remontada of 31 points to take Game 2 in the bay. Well, in the end, LouWill’s men will go on vacation after a 4-2 defeat. But apparently the fervor of the men of Doc Rivers and the Californian sun drew megastardom this summer.
The least we can say is that the Clippers have surely just won the medal for the best summer in their history. Reclaiming the reigning Finals MVP and a final MVP trophy podium in a single Free Agency, it’s highly possible this has never been done before. With Kawhi Leonard et Paul George, the Clipps now have the most defensive squad in the League in addition to having some serious arguments on the other side of the field. In any case, with Patoche Barbed, The Klaw, PG13 and Harrell Kong on the floor, we would like to know how the other franchises are going to get out of it.
