The Clippers traded Sam Dekker to the Cavaliers a couple weeks back, so the Clips Nation staff graded the deal for the Clips.

Eric Patten: A

Once the Clipper recommitted to Milos Teodosic, it created a roster logjam. Dekker was the obvious veteran choice to be shipped out, and the Clippers were able to find a taker in Cleveland. Trading him for anything after the season he had in 2017-18, where he was virtually unplayable, is a bonus. In fact, I think I remember what the compensation was from the Cavs, but I didn’t even bother to confirm it. Not because I’m lazy, but to further illustrate the point that Dekker is addition by subtraction.
