Between Bradley Beal and Norman Powell, and their current and former teams, there is a shocking pattern, and the LA Clippers landed the worst part of it. Max Kellerman, a well-known figure in the sports industry, noticed it and went on to say how wrong the Clippers were on Bill Simmons’ podcast.
Kellerman’s general point is directed at the Clippers and how they went down the wrong alley. Beal was on the Phoenix Suns, a losing team at the time that did not play defense, while Powell was winning in LA’s scheme that prioritized defense.
Following the swap, Beal’s old team, the Suns, is 13-9 and much better.
