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 [...]

Playing in a large market can do wonders for a player’s appeal. Just ask Chris Paul. State Farm never would’ve gotten anywhere near him or his twin Cliff Paul if he were still playing in New Orleans. Dwight Howard is also realizing the this as well. As he mulls whether or not he will stay [...]
