Clippers 2015 Offseason Departures

The Clippers' offseason I would rank as the best offseason in the NBA (yes, even better than the Spurs). Before I go on to post about who was signed this offseason, let's discuss the departures:

Departures
The Clippers didn't re-sign forwards Hedo Turkoglu and Glen Davis, both of whom still do not play for any other team. Guard Dahntay Jones was signed by the Brooklyn Nets. The center Ekpe Udoh was signed by Fenerbahce in Turkey.

I think it is unlikely that these four players will be missed on the team. None of them played a lot of minutes and when they did, they didn't play particularly well (although Davis and Turkoglu did have their moments).

Starting small forward Matt Barnes and back-up center Spencer Hawes were traded in the offseason to Charlotte for shooting guard Lance Stephenson.

I will miss Matt Barnes' solid defense and offense. However, Spencer Hawes was disappointing for the Clippers after his strong performances in the 2013-14 season for the 76ers and Cavaliers.

The Clippers suffered no particularly costly losses this offseason, with the only problems foreseeable with these departures being a lack of bigs to back up Blake Griffin and Deandre Jordan with all three of the back-up big men departing. A new starting small forward would also have to be signed.

Stay tuned for my report on the free agent signings this season and if they solve these problems and others that have plagued the Clippers for years (bench depth).
