Goodness gracious.
Hopefully this isn't an issue for him going into the season.

Every time somebody joins the Clippers, there's an outside story that is brought to light that would ruin the Clipper's focus and suffer a losing season. While this sounds conspiratorial as if the Lakers did this to keep them out of their way to glory, the majority of these distractions are self-inflicted, such as the Donald Sterling scandal in 2014. All the Clippers can do is persevere, defeat the opponents en route to their first championship. It might require defeating the Lakers in a playoff series too, and there may have to be a herculean accomplishment attached (like scoring 100 PTS a la Wilt Chamberlain, coming back from a 3-0 like 2004 Red Sox, or attempting a Cinderella run like 1999 Knicks that got them to a Finals and 2012 NHL Kings for their first ever Stanley Cup).

Win the title, and the Clippers will never be distracted again.
