Dame is back in Portland, and so is Chris Paul, he's back with the Clippers. He expressed a desire to play near his home. Although the Clippers' lineup is somewhat old, honestly, if the team stays healthy, they still have a shot. Just look at their last playoff appearance, they took the series to Game 7 against the Nuggets. Although they didn’t make it, they still played well. Now, they’ve got Beal and Lopez, thanks to Harden taking a pay cut.
