Nothing. They've done nothing. Re-signed Wesley Johnson (2 yrs/ ), Jamal Crawford (3yrs/$42m), Luc Mbah a Moute (2yrs/$4.5m), Austin Rivers (?yrs/$?m). They let Jeff Green (Magic), Cole Aldrich (Wolves) walk and its hard to imagine Paul Pierce comes back. On draft day they picked up Brice Johnson and Cheick Diallo, two interesting prospects that seem like great bargains to the Clippers, we'll see if they get any run. Other than that, not much to report, looks like they'll be rolling into next season with pretty much the same team. It's a strategy, it could work, I guess. (Man, Doc Rivers' boys get paid, don't they? He is a generous and kind friend)
The Clippers will still be a top quality team in a league where a lot of teams will be throwing in the towel on fighting the Warriors (oh, prepare to hear a lot about how great the next draft is gonna be: there's ten Ben Simmons's and at least 5 or 6 Brandon Ingrams and the Buddy Hields are so thick you can just pluck 'em off the branch!). The Clippers should still be 3rd-5th in the West and might even give the Warriors a scare in the playoffs (jk, I don't see that happening). And then come back next summer for Doc's next round of raises. Standing pat in a league where the best got better and everyone else will be tanking might make the Clippers the tallest midget in town. (Already thinking about how disappointing next summer will be...)
