The answer is no. Im a huge clipper fan and supporter but lets be realistic, they have one of the best if not the best starting 5 but their bench needs work. Don’t get me wrong, lots of teams have this problem including every team but deep teams which consist of the 76ers, Nuggets, Pacers, Heat, and Dallas. And those teams will have successful seasons because its a short long season. Meaning, Short time frame for many games to be played in. The Clippers have a great starting five including two superstars, a leader, a show case player, and another flat out scorer. Two superstars- Griffin and Paul. Leader- Billups. Showcase- De Andre Jordan. Scorer- Caron Butler. And they have a great piece coming off the bench in Mo Williams, but after Mo it can go anywhere from Randy Foye to Solomon Jones. If you call yourself a contender solomon jones cant be your first big off the bench. The clippers have shown interest In Kenyon Martin who would fit this team marvelously. He is a proven big man, who can defend, score, and change possessions with hustle. I am very sure, he will end up in L.A. Reasons being this 1) simply put its L.A, upgrade from china or denver. 2) His great friend Chauncey Billups is here and has reached out to Martin to sign in L.A. 3) You get to play with the number one point guard in the league in chris Paul. 4) Lastly and maybe the most important one is this, the Clippers are like family and veterans who float around the league want to be somewhere where they feel good and feel home. Thats why you don’t see proven veterans go to teams like the Bob cats and Raptors. They want to be at home with their teammates while contending for the ultimate prize which is the trophy. Throw in a guy like Martin and i would think you have to put the Clippers in the top 5 teams in the League.
