He was traded for a massive haul that included Luke Kennard, John Wall, and the pick swap that turned into Cam Whitmore.

Clippers and NBA fans alike are questioning why the Clippers decided to cut Eric Gordon after giving up so much to land him. Many believe this does not bode well for this future core, as it looks like the Clippers are doing whatever they can to just stockpile money.

Rumors have been swirling recently surrounding the future of Kawhi Leonard and Paul George on the Clippers, with the latter being more involved in potential trade discussions. After another failed season of the current era, it comes as no surprise that Steve Ballmer and company are considering a major change.

A change would not just make sense because of the on-the-court product, but in the fact that the Clippers will be moving into a new stadium relatively soon; they are certainly looking at all possible options that could potentially maximize ticket sales for the new arena.

Unloading Eric Gordon is undoubtedly the first of many moves the Clippers will make this offseason. Russell Westbrook might be the next to make headlines out of Los Angeles, as the free agent is rumored to be interested in a return. Stay tuned to see what the Clippers do next and if it will have as much of an adverse reaction as cutting Eric Gordon did.
