Even with all their newfound depth, the Los Angeles Clippers still need Blake Griffin—just not for the first 82 games of the year.
The Clippers are clearly more talented in the summer of 2015 than they were last year. Look at some of the names they brought in over the offseason: Josh Smith, Lance Stephenson, Paul Pierce, Wesley Johnson, Cole Aldrich, Pablo Prigioni. And heck, they may be on the verge of making another move given Jamal Crawford's insecurity within the organization.
Because of all that help, they won't have to depend on Griffin as much as they did a year ago.
