On May 19, 2009 the Los Angeles Clippers were awarded the first overall pick in the 2009 NBA Draft. The Clippers had a 17.7% chance of being awarded the first pick. With the 1st selection in the draft, they selected forward Blake Griffin from Oklahoma. To open up a spot in the starting lineup for Griffin, Los Angeles traded Zach Randolph to Memphis for Quentin Richardson on July 1. Richardson was then traded on July 20 to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Sebastian Telfair, Craig Smith, and Mark Madsen.[19]
Although Griffin immediately impressed in training camp and the preseason, his rookie season was short-lived. On October 23, he broke his kneecap during the Clippers’ final exhibition game against New Orleans, most likely after a dunk that left him wincing in pain. Initially, the Clippers’ stated that Griffin only had a sore left knee, which would make him questionable for the season opener the following Tuesday night, before revealing the break. The injury ultimately sidelined Griffin for the entire season.[20]
On February 4, 2010, head coach Mike Dunleavy resigned his position as head coach, and Kim Hughes was named interim coach.[21] Dunleavy retained his front-office title and duties for just over a month, but on March 10, 2010 he was fired as General Manager of the Clippers, being replaced by Neil Olshey. Dunleavy received the news of his dismissal from the internet, as well as friends and reporters calling his cell phone.[22] The Los Angeles Times reported on April 20, 2010 that Dunleavy has filed for arbitration and that the Clippers have cut off his salary, even though his guaranteed contract does not end until after the 2010–2011 season.[23] Although the Clippers did see some minor improvement, finishing with ten more wins at 29–53, Hughes was fired as head coach at the end of the season.
On July 6, 2010, former coach of the Chicago Bulls, Vinny Del Negro was hired as the Clippers’ next head coach.[24] On August 16, the team introduced new uniform designs at a photo shoot, at the team’s practice facility. Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan modeled the new uniforms, which were re-designed for the first time since the 2000–01 season.[25] The Clippers’ primary and secondary logos, which are modifications of the previous ones, were introduced to the public weeks earlier, on the night of the 2010 NBA Draft.
With new star Eric Gordon, and Chris Kaman, an improved DeAndre Jordan, a re-energized Baron Davis, and the debut of No. 1 pick Blake Griffin, the Clippers had high hopes going into the season. However, they got off to a weak start, losing ten of their first eleven games with their stars Baron Davis and Chris Kaman out with injuries. However, the Clippers showed strength when 3 of their first 4 wins came from the top teams in the Western Conference (the Oklahoma City Thunder, the New Orleans Hornets, and the San Antonio Spurs) and also, defeated the Miami Heat, Chicago Bulls, Los Angeles Lakers, and the Boston Celtics. Nonetheless, Griffin got off to a strong start, drawing increased media attention in Clippers games and boosting ratings of local broadcasts of Clippers games.[26] Griffin was chosen as a Western Conference Reserve in the 2011 NBA All-Star Game, a rare honor for a rookie; he was the first chosen by the coaches for the game since Tim Duncan in 1997. Griffin also won the NBA Sprite Slam Dunk Contest. As the trade deadline approached, the Clippers sent Baron Davis along with their 2011 first round draft pick to the Cleveland Cavaliers in exchange for Mo Williams and Jamario Moon. The first round pick they gave to Cleveland turned out to be the first overall pick in the 2011 NBA Draft. With that they selected Kyrie Irving.
