Kawhi Leonard and Paul George open a fifth Clippers training camp together with a championship on their mind and questions surrounding the team.
Star forwards Kawhi Leonard and Paul George will begin their fifth Clippers training camp together this week with championship expectations and plenty of concerns.history, the facts might seem surprising for a team headlined by two players voted among the NBA’s 75 all-time best, another with eight All-Star appearances and a coach who guided the most improbable comeback in NBA Finals history.
“Kawhi and PG, those guys play when they’re healthy; when they’re unhealthy then they don’t play, no different than anything else,” Frank said. “It’s just having a little better fortune. So the policy in itself, what they’re saying is yeah, healthy players should play and we totally subscribe to that.”
Can point guard Russell Westbrook, who joins Leonard as the Clippers bearing top-75 accolades, prove he can sustain the career resurgence, stronger shooting and joyful spirit that highlighted his arrival at midseason last February and surprised so many?Considering the team waived veteran Eric Gordon in June in part to create room in the backcourt, can young wings Mann, Bones Hyland and Brandon Boston Jr.
Rival executives, coaches and agents say they are observing closely the potential fallout if the Clippers again do not prove themselves to be championship caliber. No one inside the Clippers needs reminding that in just one year team owner Steve Ballmer will open Intuit Dome, the arena for which he has invested well north of $1 billion, in Inglewood and wants to draw full houses by fielding a relevant, exciting team, not a reminder of a roster that has consistently fallen short.
