If the Clippers lose DeAndre Jordan in free agency, it will feel like the world has fallen apart.
It will feel like the season is lost already.
It will feel like a waste of the Doc Rivers-Chris Paul-Blake Griffin window, as the Clippers work with no cap space to fill out a team that has never made it out of the second round of the playoffs, and then lost an All-NBA 3rd team and All-Defense 1st team player.
Those feeling are natural. But for Doc Rivers, General Manager Dave Wohl, and front office staff Kevin Eastman and Gary Sacks, the off-season charges on, even as the world falls down around their ears.
