They'll be good but not THAT good .... but Jordan/Griffen should break the record for the number of dunks in a season by a team just between the 2 of them with Paul feeding them all season

I just really like the starting 5 that they've put together. Jordan seems underrated to me. The guy is one of them most explosive 7 footers in the game, perhaps doesn't score like Dwight but also doesn't need to. He blocks and rebounds and brings excitement, the same way Griffin does. Butler and Billups bring solid experience and personally I think both will excel in this current line up. Griffin is young and will certainly improve, especially with pressure being lifted with Paul taking a lot of the spot light. Paul is going to be the spearhead of this team, already you can see his affect on the team. The bench may not be big names but they are young and enthusiastic and should provide great support. I'm excited to see the Clips finally step up and challenge the Lakers for the L.A. crown. Los Angeles looks to be having a name change to Lob Angeles, bring it on!

Jordan is overrated by some here.

He's an under average post defender, but good help defender, hence the blocks.

He also has no offensive ability. Don't get blinded by all the flashy dunks.

Then again I suppose with Paul in the team he doesn't need a post game...

Sounds like you might be coming around to the reality of what his required role actually is, he doesn't need to be Dwight Howard. Look at how my Tyson Chandler improved his reputation by playing for Dallas last season. All of a sudden he's that crucial piece to win a championship. The Clippers have a solid team, they'll make playoffs.

They will more then make the playoffs... they will make the western conference finals!

I boldly predict a OKC vs Clippers conference finals with OKC making it to the finals.

Then in the finals it will be Bulls vs OKC, with the Bulls taking it out in 6 games.

He's capped so it wasn't really a loss...

Did I see him I was bidding on him. I was up to $2.7 million but tiredness forced me to drop out as the auction didn't finish until 2:40AM I have his stats posted in our federation. I would have gladly paid that much for him!

That is a pretty bold prediction, especally considering Dwight's unknown future. I still think Miami will be up there, after a year to play together and having Haslem back on the court, fully fit. They don't have much depth on the bench but with Lebron, Dwayne and Chris in the starting 5... They'll be just fine! For me Chicago have not made any effort to strengthen their side. I guess they don't really need to when they finish with the best record in the NBA last season, surely they'll only get better as a group. Personally would have liked to see something from them though. Also I think you forgot to mention those Knickerbockers, possibly NY vs Miami finals anyone?

Rip for Chicago is huge. They are a terrible shooting team and he'll give Rose somebody to kick to on the perimeter finally.

Has Iwen paid over what he should of for his latest purchase.

1.4 mill for a 23 year old Perennial Allstar Shooting Gaurd seems a bit high for what he's been outputting unless he truly is a 2 playing out of position as a 1
