Next stop for your team is oblivion. 
No comparison between L.A. teamsThe NBA asked players from each team to give a few words of thanks to the fans in their last home game before the All-Star break (the reward is it counts as one of their designated community service activities). So Chris Paul and Blake Griffin, the two Clipper All-Stars, went to midcourt prior to their game against the Houston Rockets Wednesday night. Thursday night Kobe Bryant went solo, without fellow All-Star starter Dwight Howard. You can make of that what you will.
More revealing were the words Bryant said. While Griffin talked about making a deep run in the playoffs, the best Kobe could muster up to inspire the Laker faithful was "let's get ready for a big push in the second half of the season."Nash talked about the Clippers with both admiration and envy, saying: "Looking at the way they play together, how easily they're able to come off pick-and-rolls and hit shooters, then you've got Blake [inside,] a real good balance, but more than anything a commitment to play together.""When me and Chaunce are out there it's so much fun," Paul said. "We know how to make the right play ... it's just fun basketball."

The non-trade that changed L.A.
As he stood in the Clippers' locker room Thursday night before boarding a private jet with Blake Griffin and Eric Bledsoe for NBA All-Star Weekend, he shook his head when he was asked whether he has ever thought about how life would be different if he were a Laker.
"Never," Paul said. "I can't. I'm in the moment and loving what I'm doing right now."
Some might think Paul is simply playing revisionist history, but he swears he always wanted to be a Clipper. Even while his trade to the Lakers was being worked out with a Clippers trade on the backburner, Paul said Thursday night, he always hoped the Clippers deal would happen instead of the Lakers deal.
"They were talking about the possibility of where I might be traded to," Paul said. "I really hoped and wanted to come here and try to build something and do things that have never been done here."

You can thank Minneapolis for five of those sixteen rusty banners. You guys know a thing or two about "years of losing" since all through the 90's, 2003-2008 & 2011-present yall never won s***
