With a week to go until the NBA trade deadline, the Los Angeles Clippers remain awfully quiet amid what has so far been a barren season for blockbuster trades.
As noted by Chinmay Vaidya for DraftKings Nation, it isn’t expected that the franchise will be making such a big move. Thus far, even the rumors to this point have seemed more representative of a “longlist” spotted lying on somebody’s desk in the front office, as opposed to anything concrete that Lawrence Frank and company have been locked in negotiations over.
But there’s a roster spot up for grabs, a backup center hole to fill and one player in particular that may be looking for a better fit than he currently has on Tyronn Lue’s team.
