#2 Very good crop of existing players
The Clippers have a great young core right now. Lou Williams is coming off another Sixth Man of the Year award. Montrezl Harrell has become a beast down low. His effort and energy galvanizes the entire team.
Danilo Galinari is a great three point shooter and is a perfect player for today's NBA. Shai Alexander had a very good rookie season and looks like a very good pickup for the Clippers. This existing group of players played hard and competitive throughout last season. Despite being written off at the start of the season, they made it to the playoffs.
Kevin Durant will slide in perfectly with the team. He can provide the leadership and the superstar power to the Clippers side. He can take them to the next level and they will be a championship contender for years to come.
