Contending teams look to strengthen rosters for stretch run as Bulls stand pat

While the Bulls chose to sit out the NBA trade deadline, several contending teams made moves to improve their chances come playoff time.

The Los Angeles Clippers beat out their city rivals in the race to sign Kawhi Leonard last summer, and they did it again at the deadline, acquiring versatile forward Marcus Morris from the Knicks for Moe Harkless and a 1st round draft pick.

Morris is expected to immediately slide into the Clippers’ starting lineup, giving Doc Rivers three two-way wing players who can switch everything on the defensive end and are capable of scoring inside and out.
