The Los Angeles Clippers may just be hours away from their last game of the season.
If they lose Friday’s Game 6 against the Dallas Mavericks, the Clippers will head back home to LA and start their extra-long summer vacation.
There are a ton of questions floating around the Clippers and their future.
On “First Take,” Kendrick Perkins said it is time to break up the team and start over.

He said that Paul George is eyeing an exit, Kawhi Leonard is unreliable, and the current lineup obviously isn’t working as planned.
Perkins also urged head coach Ty Lue not to sign an extension with the team and to try his hand with another team.
He said that better opportunities are waiting for him and that he has been given an unfair job every single year.
Lue has been tasked with generating great results from a team that is consistently losing players, coming up short, and not living up to expectations.
Perhaps it is time for him, and several other players, to move on.
It feels as if the end of every season has people calling on the Clippers to blow things up and rebuild the team.
But there is a legitimate chance that profound changes are coming this summer.
Even with their best roster in years and better health, the Clippers are still struggling to make it out of the first round.
If they are eliminated, cries for change will be even louder from the loyal fanbase.
At the same time, the team is about to open its brand new arena and wants to have a lineup that attracts fans and generates buzz as this new chapter begins.
The Clippers will have some tough decisions to make if they don’t reach the second round.
