The 2002–03 NBA season was the Clippers' 33rd season in the National Basketball Association, and their 19th season in Los Angeles.[1] During the offseason, the Clippers acquired Andre Miller from the Cleveland Cavaliers. With the acquisition of Miller, there was a sense of optimism surrounding the Clippers for the first time in years. However, young players were concerned with stats for free agency than winning games, which created tension in the locker room all year. Head coach Alvin Gentry was fired after a 19–39 start, and was replaced with Dennis Johnson. With all the Clippers playing as individuals, the team fell apart early into the season and sank back to the bottom of the Pacific Division with a 27–55 record. Following the season, Johnson was fired as coach, Lamar Odom signed as a free agent with the Miami Heat, Michael Olowokandi signed with the Minnesota Timberwolves, Miller signed with the Denver Nuggets, and longtime three-point specialist Eric Piatkowski signed with the Houston Rockets.
