ESPN reports that the Los Angeles Clippers were rated poorly for their offseason after losing Paul George to the Philadelphia 76ers. They’ve added Nicholas Batum and Derrick Jones Jr., but face skepticism about their future competitiveness.
Head coach Tyronn Lue remains optimistic, feeling motivated by the challenges ahead and energized from his experience with USA Basketball. He is eager to prove critics wrong, with hopes for a healthy Kawhi Leonard and an entire training camp with James Harden.
The team's success hinges on the health and performance of their stars and an enhanced roster, despite concerns about their playoff chances in a strong Western Conference.
