ORLANDO, Fla. -- This one looked more like an audition than a real NBA game. And that should be no surprise.It's tough to win when most of the roster has one foot out the door.
Like several teams in the league, the Los Angeles Clippers have spent the season clearing salary cap space for this summer, filling their roster with players in the last year of their contract.
Four of their five starters Tuesday will be free agents this summer. Only two of the 12 players active for Tuesday's lopsided loss to the Magic have contracts for next season.
"It's the nature of the business. I understand it, but I don't know if it's healthy to have that many free agents at once,'' said interim coach Kim Hughes, who is unlikely to return next season. "I don't think it's a positive situation to be in. There are too many dynamics involved.''
