Front offices, such as the LA Clippers, have had their moments over the years in pulling off stunning moves for players like Norman Powell, Bogdan Bogdanovic, and Ivica Zubac. These trades made their success with the franchise feel even greater, as LA was correct about each of their predictions with these guys.
Despite the ups, executive Lawrence Frank has also had to call several players into his office to make a tough decision. This is the professional way of handling business, and prominent discussions, such as informing Terance Mann, a fan-favorite, that he was being traded, occurred last season.
