Although the LA Clippers are progressing in their boosted market, now individually under Intuit Dome, located in Inglewood, California, their rivalry with the team they used to share a home with, the Los Angeles Lakers, will never fade away. Both are still among the most prominent teams in Los Angeles, competing for the winning spotlight in the NBA.
Furthermore, the Clippers already had one up on the Lakers by taking Brook Lopez off their radar and signing him to a two-year deal. Many fans in the Lakers community wanted to reunite with Lopez, as they desperately needed a center before Deandre Ayton was added.
