The Clippers were probably the deepest team in the league last year and it doesn’t appear as if that will change. They were forced to trade Eric Bledsoe last week, because they weren’t able to afford him, but they didn’t waste time finding a backup for Chris Paul. Darren Collison will back up CP3. Collison [...]
