The LA Clippers entered the season as legit contenders in the Western Conference following a flurry of offseason moves.
Between the additions of John Collins and Brook Lopez, arguably no move was deemed bigger than the signing of Bradley Beal, who joined LA after completing a contract buyout with the Phoenix Suns.
Landing a premiere talent, who proved to be one of the most dynamic scorers in the NBA at his peak seemed like a can't lose situation for the Clippers, especially considering the discounted price they landed him at.
Beal joined the Western Conference contenders with the chance to not only prove he had plenty left in the tank, but that the Suns could be to blame for his career falling off the rails over the last few season.
