Disappointing Trae Young trade return confirms Clippers fumbled championship destiny

In the span of less than a week, Trae Young navigated his way away from the Atlanta Hawks. The LA Clippers were among the few teams interested, but the Washington Wizards somehow got hold of the four-time all-star by giving up CJ McCollum and Cory Kispert, an underwhelming package that Lawrence Frank easily had in the back room that could have brought a championship to Inglewood, California.

The Clippers have a ton of needs with a 13-23 record, but a reliable third option like Young is loud. He is a walking 10 assists on most nights and can add the cherry on top with a consistent average of 20 to 30 points.
