77. The Los Angeles Clippers have spent the past twelve months fending off other teams from poaching their players, and for their quick start to the 2016-2017 season, there are few who could argue against this strategy. But time waits for no team, and in the NBA you are either competing for a championship or you are building the team who can win one. The Clippers are doing neither, but have convinced everyone they are doing both.
<p>This season may change all that. Star power forward Blake Griffin has fallen to injury again. In the past four years, Griffin has played 80,67,35, and now is 26 of 29 games with a knee surgery coming up. Eventually, the Clippers will need to make a decision about their top player. Meanwhile, the team has Chris Paul, J.J. Reddick, Jamal Crawford, and DeAndre Jordan.</p>
