A day after trading for combo guards Eric Gordon and Bones Hyland rather than adding a true point guard ahead of the NBA trade deadline Feb. 9, LA Clippers president of basketball operations Lawrence Frank described the kind of point guard the team wanted to complement Kawhi Leonard and Paul George.
"If there was a point guard who could be in our top eight or nine [players on the roster], we looked at those guys," Frank said Feb. 10.
"Invariably, what's important is, whether they're a point guard or not, we need someone that won't be played off the floor defensively, someone who can share the ball responsibilities, but not yet be so ball dominant.
