1. Los Angeles Clippers
The Clippers are an easy No. 1 choice. They signed arguably the best player in the league when Kawhi decided to shock the world and sign with them. They then orchestrated a trade that brought the Clippers one of the best all-around players in the league in Paul George.
Defensively, these two are going to give other teams fits and add to them All-World pest Patrick Beverley, and this team has a chance to be very good on the defensive side of the ball. The Clippers have one of the best benches led by Lou Williams and Montrezl Harrell and by adding Mo Harkless will help bolster their depth even further.
With both L.A. teams having fantastic offseasons loaded with star power, the rivalry at the Staples Center is going to be off the charts.
