A trade between the Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers is nothing short of convenient. Imagine being an NBA player hit with the gut-wrenching reality of relocating. Then picture that being followed up with finding out all you have to do is drive across town.
There is more reason to paint this picture as a marriage of convenience for a potential deal during the 2025-26 season. The Clippers have been downright atrocious. Their 7-21 record has them 13th in the Western Conference as they head towards the grim reality of giving away a lottery pick to the Oklahoma City Thunder.
