I watched every game last year, the Clippers had 3 major issues:

1. With less than 5 minutes, they couldn't keep a lead.
2. Scoring threats, other than Gordon, and Griffin, there was no one you could count on every night. *Foye did deliver big last year though.*
3. Veteran Leadership - Brian Cook is not veteran leadership.

With the addition of Paul and Billups, you can now control the clock/game, can score big shots/want to take big shots and they have the leadership you lacked. Adding Butler (as long as he is healthy) is 20 points, Foye is solid, Bledsoe will learn and pick up so much from Paul & Billups. Gomes can score too.

I predict Clippers make it thru the first 2 rounds of the playoffs.



I would have never traded Terry Cummings or Ron Harper.
