After Los Angeles Clippers trade rumors started circling around the web over the last week or so, it seemed as though the team had been making some ‘exploratory calls’ to see whether any potential deals could be made. At the very least, it looked like they were considering what they could get in exchange for Lance Stephenson and Josh Smith. Even Jamal Crawford’s name has appeared as it was reported that the Clippers have been ‘open’ to trading him since the offseason.
However, as has now been reported by Dan Woike of the Orange County Register, Doc Rivers has strongly denied that these trade calls have occurred.
