Clippers

Three cheers for consolation prizes! The Los Angeles Clippers were one of a handful of NBA teams that landed a face-to-face meeting with Kevin Durant in free agency—one of five others, to be exact: Boston Celtics, Golden State Warriors, Miami Heat, Oklahoma City Thunder and San Antonio Spurs. And while they ultimately left the contest [...]

Historically, the LA Clippers have been one of the worst franchises in all of North American team sports, but their luck changed about 5 years ago. Now, they’re consistently one of the best teams out west. No longer are they the little brother of the Lakers. They are easily the better, more entertaining team and [...]

Do the Los Angeles Clippers have a Blake Griffin free-agency conundrum on their hands? Um, maybe. Griffin has an Early Termination Option for 2017-18 and can become a free agent next summer. Bleacher Report’s Ric Bucher has apparently heard he isn’t “wed” to the Clippers and could have wandering eyes when it comes to exploring [...]

Slow your roll on those Blake Griffin trade rumors, fam. The Los Angeles Clippers have other ideas. They, apparently, want to get another star (or five) to join their current nucleus, not willingly deal one they already employ to a rival NBA team. This latest dispatch comes from the Orange County Register‘s Jeff Miller: Doc [...]

I am fully aware that it is still early in the 2016 NBA free agency bonanza, and although the market has officially dried up there is nothing to say that teams won’t make huge roster moves or shake-ups through trades in the next few months leading up to the 2016-17 season. Where we stand though, [...]

How does Kevin Durant feel about taking a pay cut? That’s apparently an important question for the Los Angeles Clippers, who, according to Dan Woike of the Orange Country Register, will try to sell Durant on joining Blake Griffin, DeAndre Jordan and Chris Paul in Hollywood: The Clippers are scheduled to meet with free-agency’s top [...]

Is free-agent-to-be Kevin Durant coming to meet with an NBA team near you? Well, no. He’ll be taking the meetings, not going on some free-agency tour. Will your favorite team get face time? That’s the question. And if you’re a fan of a big-market franchise outside Washington, you’ll probably like the answer, per ESPN.com’s Chris [...]

Los Angeles Clippers coach and president Doc Rivers has no plans to break up his team’s Big Three of Chris Paul, Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan. It almost happened last summer, when DeAndre Jordan first agreed to join the Dallas Mavericks. And there will be questions about the long-term sustainability of this core next summer, [...]

The Clippers had championship aspirations this season, but the injury bug bit them in the worst way this season. And that’s too bad, because this was the best this core had ever looked, and that was even without Blake Griffin for much of the season. There have been talks for a few years that the [...]

By know we all know that the wind has been taken out of the Clippers sails in the past 48 hours. After an unexpected opportunity knocked on their doorstep in the form of a Steph Curry injury, misfortune struck as their two biggest stars, Chris Paul and Blake Griffin, were sidelined for the rest of [...]
