The Los Angeles Clippers had a disappointing end to their season, losing to the Houston Rockets in the Western Conference Semifinals after holding a 3-1 series lead. However, it’s clear the Clippers are legitimate title contenders. Who could help them get over the top next year?
SF Paul Pierce, Washington Wizards
Pierce has incredibly strong ties with Clippers head coach Doc Rivers from their time together with the Celtics, and Los Angeles may give him the best chance to win a championship before he retires. He is contemplating retirement, but the Clippers will do everything they can to convince him to play one more season for another title.
