5. LA Clippers
We shouldn’t be surprised to see the LA Clippers back amongst the title contenders in the Western Conference this season. They have one of the deepest rosters in the league and, most importantly, Kawhi Leonard and Paul George are expected to be back healthy next season.
Plus, they also added John Wall after he was bought out from the Houston Rockets. If nothing else, he gives them a scoring threat off the bench that they didn’t have last season.
If Wall does find his foot, and quickly, he could unlock another element for this team in their pursuit of a championship.
