This free agent class is one of the most talented in recent history. These stars should consider relocating to Los Angeles to join the LA Clippers.

The NBA could look much different in just 4 months after the top free agents have signed new contracts. Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant, Kawhi Leonard, Khris Middleton, Nikola Vucevic, Klay Thompson, Kemba Walker, Tobias Harris, Jimmy Butler, Julius Randle, D’Angelo Russell, DeMarcus Cousins… you get the point; There are several big names in looking to ink their next deal.

While most players will opt to stay with their current teams, some will be looking to move on to a bigger market, such as LA or New York. The LA Clippers, Los Angeles Lakers, and New York Knicks are all expected to throw their hats in the ring in attempt to sign the top talent this summer.

But why would any of these players choose the Clippers over the Lakers or Knicks? Well, it’s an easier choice then you may think. Considering that both the Lakers and Knicks have experienced train wrecks both on court and in the front office this season, the clear choice is to sign with the Clippers.

So what is it that sets the LA Clippers apart from the Knicks and Lakers to sign the top-tier talent this summer? It’s simple: The weather, a star’s fit/role with the team, and the management history.
