Pick ten players, you can use their best season wearing Clippers uniform (at least 50% of the season playing for the Clippers).
Assemble your best 10-man rotation best suited in your eyes to compete in modern-game environment.
My pick:
Chris Paul / Baron Davis
Paul George / James Harden
Kawhi Leonard / Nic Batum
Bob McAdoo / Blake Griffin
Ivica Zubac / Elton Brand
Potential candidates:
DeAndre Jordan, Matt Barnes, Patrick Beverley, Cuttino Mobley, Lamar Odom, Danny Manning, Norman Powell, Bill Walton, Marcus Morris, Correy Maggette, Chris Kaman, Eric Gordon, World B Free

Re: Best modern 10-man Clippers rotation
Feel like Norm Nixon has to at least be in consideration here backing up Paul

Re: Best modern 10-man Clippers rotation
Since you have McAdoo I assume this includes the entire farnchise history, including Buffalo Braves. If so, Randy Smith should be in the potential candidates category out of respect although I certainly wouldn't have him above PG or Harden, who are literally modern day players.
Tobias Harris and JJ Redick could be worth a look as well.
But all in all I think the 10 men rotation in the OP is the best one.

I actually almost picked Norman Powell as the second backup guard there. Great 25' season

This is a fun idea. I'm going to make two changes for my pick:
1. I'm moving McAdoo to starting 5, bumping Zubac back to back-up 5, Griffin moves to starting 4, Brand moves to back-up 4.
McAdoo was playing as a 5 back then, and honestly, he'd be more suited to play it now than back then. Meanwhile I see Brand as a 4.
2. I'm not ok calling Clipper Beard a shooting guard, and I don't think he's better than Baron (who was underrated in his time) in his LA years.
So I'll replace him with a favorite Clipper role player who I think would be just what the team needs to give it that edge:
Chris Paul / Baron Davis
Paul George / Matt Barnes
Kawhi Leonard / Nic Batum
Blake Griffin / Elton Brand
Bob McAdoo / Ivica Zubac
Oh also, I strongly considered bumping Brand for Bo Outlaw, because I think Bo is a great role player for a synergistic super-team, but I do think Brand actually makes a good deal of sense in that lineup.
