Last year, the Clippers had quite a busy off-season.
By opening night, eight new Clippers were on the team's 15-man roster, and seven of them--all but second round draft pick Branden Dawson--would play major minutes. One mid-season acquisition, Jeff Green, was also a major piece. All in all, newcomers played 7,790 minutes last season. The year before? Just 3,442--less than half.
Lance Stephenson, Jeff Green, Wesley Johnson, and Luc Mbah a Moute shared time at small forward and backup power forward over the course of the season, and a rotating cast of unassimilated options wasn't the most stable arrangement.
