While nearly all the attention this offseason in Los Angeles has been placed on the Los Angeles Lakers, I think it’s easy to forget that they’re probably not even the best team in their city heading into the 2022-23 NBA season.

After being ravaged by injuries this past season, the Clippers should be a favorite to win the Western Conference. Assuming that Kawhi Leonard and Paul George will be fully healthy heading into the season, the Clippers should feel good about their championship chances.

But health will certainly be the team’s biggest question mark, as it has been since the acquisition of Kawhi.

In addition to their top stars, the Clippers may also have the deepest roster in the league. This may finally be the year that the Clippers get over the hump and win an NBA title.
