The Clippers currently have 13 players under full NBA contracts after trading Mfiondu Kabengele, so by the rules of the collective bargaining agreement, they’ll have to add another player to their roster soon. That could be as simple as converting Amir Coffey from a two-way, but the need for that is less pressing since two-ways are allowed to compete in the postseason this year.
Therefore, LA is most likely on the market for a new player, whether that comes via trade or buyout. Given their limited assets available for a trade, the latter option seems more likely. In that vein, on the “Woj & Lowe: Trade Deadline Special” on ESPN earlier today, Adrian Wojnarowski mentioned that the Clippers are looking at Andre Drummond, who is expected to be bought out by the Cleveland Cavaliers, to fill out their roster.
