The Clippers built the oldest team in NBA history and shocked nobody

The LA Clippers entered the 2025-26 season with an average roster age of 33.2 years: the oldest team in NBA history. Yup, the oldest team ever assembled in the 78-year history of the NBA, and somehow, someway, Lawrence Frank and the front office convinced themselves this was a winning strategy.

Breaking News: It was not a winning strategy.

The Clippers are 6-19, sitting 14th in the Western Conference, and have become the example every front office will use as a poorly constructed roster. Their grand experiment of assembling basketball's retirement home of the 2015 All-Star team has failed so spectacularly, it is worth wondering how anyone thought this would work.
