#1 L.A. Clippers
The Los Angeles Clippers enjoyed a stunning offseason as the franchise pulled off an incredible double move for Kawhi Leonard and Paul George. The acquisition of two of the NBA's elite two-way players immediately puts the franchise among the leading contenders heading into the 19-20 season, however, the team appears short on depth when it comes to bigs.
The Clippers currently boast two centres in Ivica Zubac and Montrezl Harrell, although Zubac is still young and struggled in the past postseason, while Harrell remains more effective when playing at the four. This leaves the current roster with a huge hole at centre, and Howard is an out-and-out big that will average a double-double in 20 minutes per night.

Ultimately, the addition of Howard should be a no brainer, and he could prove to be the difference-maker as the Clippers look to dominate the West.
