Many consider the Los Angeles Clippers as the deepest team on paper this season. Their performance thus far, however, has not exactly given credence to that. In fact, they currently carry a 25-24 win-loss record. That’s not even the best in their own division. It’s actually good enough to put them in sixth place in […]

The Clippers could be ready to make a deal of some kind on or before the trade deadline. Keep in mind that since acquiring Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, they have participated in every trade deadline. Right now, the pressure is mounting as a result of their underwhelming campaign.

There’s no debating that the Los Angeles Clippers are one of the top teams in the Western Conference, but so far this season, the results haven’t exactly added up.
