2000–01 Los Angeles Clippers season The 2000–01 NBA season was the Clippers' 31st season in the National Basketball Association, and their 17th season in Los Angeles. During the offseason, the Clippers acquired second-year guard Corey Maggette from the Orlando Magic, and Sean Rooks from the Dallas Mavericks. With the addition of Maggette along with rookies Darius Miles, Quentin Richardson and Keyon Dooling, who was also acquired from the Magic, the Clippers were a young team. However, center Keith Closs was suspended for the entire season due to lack of physical conditioning. Under new head coach Alvin Gentry, the Clippers would struggle losing 7 of their first eleven games as Tyrone Nesby was traded to the Washington Wizards. However, they would play around .500 in the final three months of the season, as they doubled their previous season's win total finishing sixth in the Pacific Division with a 31–51 record. Second-year star Lamar Odom had a strong second season leading the team in scoring and rebounding.
