Ferris Bueller got a Day Off. Why not the Clippers?
They were the only NBA team that had no draft picks Thursday.
Which meant they didn’t have to spend a lot of time on those annoying, oft-deceptive individual workouts.
Which meant they didn’t feel obligated to hold a draft party for their fans. Which also meant they didn’t have any blubbering 10-year-olds lamenting their bad pick, as happened to the Knicks when they chose Kristaps Porzingis.
Finally, the Clippers traded for New Orleans’ second-round pick (No. 56 overall), Michigan State’s Branden Dawson, a rugged senior who is an undersized but not underachieving 6-foot-6 1/2 power forward.
