“They’ve got the deepest roster in the NBA” - Kendrick Perkins says Lakers should be worried about LA Clippers potentially winning championship
NBA analyst Kendrick Perkins recently showered praise on the LA Clippers, saying that their squad depth could pose a problem for most teams in the NBA.
The LA Clippers do have a formidable squad heading into next season. Kawhi Leonard and Paul George are capable of leading the team into the postseason and they've added talented John Wall to bolster their roster.
According to Perkins, the Clippers have the "deepest roster" in the league.
“When you look at the Clippers, they’ve got the deepest roster in the NBA,” he said on ESPN.
“When you look at the most important position in the NBA, the wing position, the Clippers are loaded … They have elite guard play … They have one of the best coaches, if not the best coach in the game.”
Draymond Green believes the LA Clippers are a huge threat
Kendrick Perkins was not the only person to acknowledge the Clippers' strength. Draymond Green, who won his fourth title with the Warriors last season, conceded that the Clippers have a competitive roster.
"Ty Lue is arguably one of the best coaches in the NBA," Draymond said on a podcast episode with JJ Redick. "Arguably the best. Someone can make that argument. And then they have great players. Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, the guys they're filling in around them."
Draymond Green recently poked fun at the LA Clippers during the ESPYs, but was quick to admit that they are one of the strongest teams in the West.
"I'm live from LA, home of seven professional teams — and the Clippers."

"You go pull a trade and get Robert Covington and Norman Powell, you already have Marcus Morris, Reggie Jackson, they're a real threat. Batum probably will re-sign there. That's a real threat and a problem. They're a threat and a problem."
