To many, the LA Clippers core has grown stale. They’ve been together for so long, yet haven’t really survived the test of time.
The trio of Chris Paul, Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan have been together for 6 seasons. Jamal Crawford has been with them for 5 seasons, and J.J. Redick 4. Together, they have withstood lots of adversity, but have nothing to show for it. And you may not know this, but the Clippers have never gotten past the second round of the playoffs before.
There is a fine line to walk when it comes to longevity.
