The LA Clippers have a very impressive roster, allowing them to have one of the most powerful starting lineups in the NBA.
The LA Clippers have dedicated this offseason to improving their roster. They seem ready to push a serious championship.
Brooke Lopez’s landing was a big deal for them, but the Clippers traded John Collins for Norman Powell.
The opening was created at the shooting guard, and the Clippers signed Bradley Beal after the acquisition of the Phoenix Suns.
Chris Paul also joins the Clippers in free agency, so their roster is complete. But what does their starting lineup look like?
With LA Clippers landing so many players, there is a very different starting lineup towards the new season.
Here’s the predicted starting lineup and depth chart for the Clippers:
| Starting lineup | Second unit |
| James Harden | Chris Paul |
| Bradley Beale | Crisis Dun |
| Kauhi Leonard | Derrick Jones Jr. |
| John Collins | Nicholas Batam |
| Ivica Zubac | Brook Lopez |
Players like Cam Christie, Bogdan Bogdanovic and Kobe Brown also get a few minutes during the regular season, but are unlikely to make a big appearance in the rotation.
Fans may be hoping Chris Paul will become the starter. However, it is revealed that Paul has accepted the role of the bench to join the Clippers.
On paper, this is a very strong lineup. However, the Clippers will face problems next season.
The Clippers have attracted some celebrities this offseason, but their roster is incredibly old. In fact, the average age is 33.2, and this Clippers roster is the oldest in the NBA.
Almost half of the roster – James Harden, Kawi Leonard, Bradley Beal, Chris Paul, Brooke Lopez and Nicholas Batam are over 33.
Kendrick Perkins is called the Clippers, the NBA nursing home, a smooth jab on an aging roster. But it’s hard to argue against him.
Even Jeff Teague believes that the Clippers’ age works against them. Especially considering how tough the 82-game NBA season can be, it can make its appearance in the body as players age.
Hopefully, Ty Lue can overcome this concern and lead the Clippers to the NBA Championship. But given how tough the Western Conference is, they definitely have a fight in their hands.
