I'm pulling real hard for the CLIPPERS!!!! Bunch of reasons. First and foremost is how it might impact the Fakers.
Lebron has been rumored to be speaking to 4 teams, one of whom is the Clippers. A number 1 draft choice would be more of an enticement for him to go there along with the market and all the glitz and LaLa land trappings. If he's there, the Fakers no longer have a monopoly on the LA market, fanbase, etc. To the contrary, they would be an aging team competing for the fans attention with Lebron. And Kobe would be second fiddle to the marketing conglomerate that is James.That would be nice.
Secondly, we only have to deal with Lebron twice a year and when the Clippers are ready for a championship run, we'll be well past our window, so really any western conference team would be good.
