In a series of tweets today, The New York Times’ Marc Stein outlined the initial Clippers’ foray into the trade market.
For most Clippers fans, this isn’t breaking news, so much as it is confirmation of what has long been suspected. It’s been fairly obvious that wing depth and big men (that coach Doc Rivers will be willing to actually play) would be the Clippers’ main areas of concern as the trade deadline approaches.
The Clippers’ lack of wing depth has absolutely been felt in games without one or both of Kawhi Leonard and Paul George.
