The Clippers Could Be…Interesting?

Hmmm…Very Int-er-esting
Now, let’s assume for a second that A.I. heads out to Hollywood. Put aside the fact that the Clippers have three guys who love to score and have occasionally or frequently played point guard in The Answer, Baron Davis and Eric Gordon. Eradicate the knowledge that the Clippers ranked 24th in the NBA in team defense last year. For the purpose of this exercise, consider only the names and “talent” of the core folks that would be on the Clippers roster (assume for fantasy-land purposes all are at optimal levels health):
Baron Davis
Allen Iverson
Eric Gordon
Blake Griffin
Marcus Camby
No offense to
Chris Kaman, Ricky Davis and the rest of the crew. I also won’t try to guess what’s going to happen with other free agents, but you can already add Q-Rich to the mix and subtract Zach Randolph. Removing Randolph can only mean better things for any franchise. Compelling right? Even if only from an offensive standpoint.In reality, who knows how this will pan out. Griffin may be a non-factor. Camby could easily break in half as he’s been known to do. A.I. and Davis could prove to be further on the downslope than anyone imagined. The triumvirate of Gordon, Davis and A.I. might spiral into the chaotic mess it seems almost destined to become. Yet, based on talent alone, these names make the team immediately more intriguing to this admittedly less-than-diehard NBA fan.
We shall see…it’s a brutal Western Conference…and they’re still the Clippers…I have lost it, right?
