The LA Clippers have made their first trade of the day. According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, they have traded young guard Derrick Walton Jr. to the Atlanta Hawks for cash.
This move seems like the first of something bigger. According to Bobby Marks, the deal not only opens up a roster spot for the Clippers but also gives the team a $1.55 million trade exception.
What comes next for the Clippers? Who knows. There is still a little over two hours left before the trade deadline, so there could be another unannounced trade in the works.
