4 Reasons the LA Clippers NEED to Win This Year!!

For years the LA Clippers have been knocking on the door of basketball immortality but have fallen short time and time again from the Lob City days to the recent tenure of kawh Leonard and Paul George it’s time for the Lakers little brother to take the next step with an absolutely loaded roster

Consisting of star power and reliable depth all signs point towards a promising postseason run for La however there are glaring concerns for this team’s future that make this a must-win season starting off with the most prominent concern the Clippers have the second highest salary in the league at

Over 200 $0000 million with the current salary cap at 136 million this puts them way over the salary cap thus costing owner Steve Balmer millions in luxury tax though the salary cap is projected to jump up to 141 million next season this won’t seem to do much for a team

That’s already 66 million over the limit to make matters worse there’s a couple of players that are set to make some big money next year Paul George has a player option worth almost $49 million if he chooses to stay James Harden fresh off of taking a pay cut in Philly will

Become a free agent and will likely demand a healthy siiz contract as he already makes over 35 million this season not to mention that kawai’s contract extension is going to come into full effect next year as he’s going to jump from $45 to $52 million next season even without James Harden the Clippers

Are already over the salary cap limit for next season and will likely need to lose someone sign cheaper rotation players or take a massive hit and luxury taxs next up the Clippers are the second oldest team in the NBA with an average age of over 28 years old while that

Might not sound too bad it’s worth noting that all of the Clippers best players are in their early to mid-30s as we’ve already seen with Russell Westbrook and James Harden the athleticism of their youth is far behind them while still being great players their explosion and overall athletic

Ability are going to continue to dissipate wear and tear will also continue to take a big toll on the big four of Kawai PG Russ and Harden as injuries and tweaks accumulate look at LeBron James he only missed 71 games in his first 15 Seasons which is almost

Unheard of over the next five seasons he missed 98 games due to various injuries kawi Leonard Paul George and James Harden have all been injury-prone over the past 3 to Five Seasons especially in the postseason if history is any indication this will only become more of

A concern as the years go by making this season even more important it’s no secret that the torch has been passed in the NBA for almost a decade it was unanimously understood that LeBron James was the best player in the league years later Giannis and nicoa yic took the

Crown from him with each of them winning a championship and two MVPs the same could be said for the Western Conference as a whole from 1999 to 2014 the Western Conference was dominated by LA and San Antonio as the Spurs won six conference championships while the Lakers won seven

In that time span immediately after the Golden State Warriors would take the Baton and dominate the Western Conference for six of the next eight years now if the Warriors Dynasty seemingly coming to an end there are hungry young teams on the horizon as I mentioned in my previous video the

Future of the NBA the Minnesota the Timberwolves and OKC Thunder are going to become dangerous teams as they continue to develop their young Stars not to mention the reigning Champion Denver Nuggets who have the ability to bully anyone in the league due to their size playmaking and defense as the teams

Around them continue to develop and become more experienced the Clippers need to capitalize on this opportunity while the windows still open because if they can’t win it now why would they be able to when all their stars are 2 years older while OKC and Minnesota have two more years of growth and experience

Under their belt lastly as players continue to age some of them begin the ring Chase and if money’s tight and the same core of guys fail to get it done year after year it’ll only become a matter of time before some of them leave a notable example of this would be Ron

Artes AKA met Ro piece who battled against the Lakers as a member of the Houston Rockets in the 2009 playoffs the very next year he joined Kobe gasul and the Lakers and won the 2010 finals hitting one of the biggest shots in the series in game seven the previous Four

Seasons Kawai and Paul Georgia fallen short whether it be Doc Rivers 31 special or numerous injuries in the regular and postseason this is the year where it all hangs on the line in my opinion if injuries derail their Championship aspirations or if they collapse against the other western

Conference powerhouses in May I can see this unit disbanding but being that the team is moving to a new Arena within the next couple of years Steve Balmer might bite the bullet and keep as many of their stars as possible to boost ticket sales as they appeal to a new crowd in

Englewood regardless they need the strike while the iron’s hot because they’ve been one of the best teams in the league over the past month and a half but that’s all I got for you guys today make sure to hit the like button and subscribe because I’m dropping two
