Remember when the Los Angeles Clippers were the laughing stock of the NBA? When they were the easy win; the easy out; the easy punchline? When another team was bad, fans could always say “at least we aren’t the Clippers!”
Well now the Clippers are relevant. They’re consistently decent; they’ve had good playoff teams, playoffs appearances, stars on both the court and the bench, and now an owner who has the desire to win and is more likely to throw money at a problem than sit back and count his savings every time he drafted high and passed on a star free agent.
