Preview - Los Angeles Clippers

The Clippers acquisition of Elton Brand will make them a threat to get the final playoff spot.
Los Angeles Clippers

2000 Record: (31-51), 6th in Pacific Division

Player Losses: Brian Skinner, Cherokee Parks, Zendon Hamilton.

Player Additions: Elton Brand, Obinna Ekezie, Miles Simon.

Projected Starting Five:

Center - Michael Olowakandi (7'0" 270 lbs.)
Forward - Elton Brand (6'8" 260 lbs.)
Forward - Lamar Odom (6'10" 220 lbs.)
Guard - Quentin Richardson (6'6" 225 lbs.)
Guard - Jeff McInnis (6'4" 180 lbs.)

The Clippers are a dangerous team, full of athletic players that can play on both ends of the court. Darius Miles may not start, but he will make a major impact from the bench. Lamar Odom is a versatile forward that can rebound and handle the ball. Elton Brand will give the Clippers a low post scorer and a dominate rebounder. The Clippers will make a run at the playoffs this year, but they will be more of a force in the future.
