Buying or Selling Every NBA Team's 2012 Offseason Moves

I will never buy into Jamal Crawford's contract, but everything else the Clippers accomplished this summer does, at the very least, offset it.

Chauncey Billups' return will bolster the backcourt if he is able to remain healthy, and Lamar Odom's return to Tinseltown will prove to be a substantial difference-maker if his head is right.

Extending Blake Griffin was also a necessity, because 1) he's the team's most promising youngster and 2) his presence gives the Clippers a better chance of retaining Chris Paul next summer.

Don't sleep on the veteran presence of Grant Hill and Ronnie Turiaf, either. Turiaf is a defensive specialist who is more than willing to sacrifice his body for the cause, while Hill, when healthy, is still capable of making a prolific two-way impact.

No, the Clippers don't appear to be as stacked as the Lakers or Thunder, but they're far from an afterthought.

And in a powerhouse-laden Western Conference, just breaking into the championship conversation is half the battle.?
