Give credit to the Los Angeles Clippers as they have pulled off a number of shrewd moves over the years that have ultimately led them to become a legitimate championship contender with two All-Star players on their roster.
For the franchise that spent most of their existence as the NBA’s laughingstock, it has been quite a turnaround under owner Steve Ballmer. But that doesn’t mean the Los Angeles Lakers suddenly have real competition in their own city.
Sure, the Clippers roster can now match the quality of the Lakers with both teams built to contend.
