With each passing season, an increasing number of veterans drafted in the early 2010s enter retirement. This demonstrates excellence, as hanging the jersey up now signifies a career that lasted roughly 15 years, which is a phenomenal accomplishment in the NBA.
Moreover, the LA Clippers used to employ one of the best players in the 2010 draft class, Paul George. He began his career with the Indiana Pacers, rose to superstar status, then embarked on a venture with the Oklahoma City Thunder before forcing his way to Los Angeles.
Unfortunately, George experienced an unexpected hurdle with the Philadelphia 76ers during the first year of his four-year contract, where he was producing less, winning at a disappointing rate he had not seen in years, and playing minimally due to injury.
