The Future of the Pacific Division
Posted: Thu Jun 9, 2011 12:03 am
It looks like the Clippers are finally getting Smart and building a real contender. If the rumored (talk about a rumor that makes all the sense in the world, duh ... how long did it take these two teams to come together) trade of Iguodala for Kaman goes down like it definitely should the Clippers will have a scary starting 5 of Mo Williams, Eric Gordon, Iggy, Blake and Jordan with solid young athletic backups in Bledsoe, Aminu, Warren, Foye, etc. That is a scary, fast, young team!
My question is how long does everyone think we can maintain our deathgrip on our division?
Last year our division was perhaps the worst in the NBA, next year it could be one of the best.
The Clippers have a great young nucleus to build around and the Warriors seem dedicated to building a title contender and with the Logo in charge, that should be very do-able. The Queens have been a nice patsy for us for a while now but with Tyreke and Demarcus in cow town they may be headed for a dramatic boost as well. The Suns are an enigma and one never knows what one is going to get with them, but trading Nash may really help them improve as well.
So, what does everyone think?
I believe we will win the division for at least the next 3 years ... after that ... it could be the Clippers time to shine ...
