Clippers Eye Under-the-Radar Trade Targets
25 Jan
Summary
- Clippers seek perimeter defenders and shooters at trade deadline.
- Naji Marshall and TJ McConnell are defensive and playmaking options.
- Sam Hauser and Gary Trent Jr. offer needed shooting ability.
The Los Angeles Clippers are reportedly exploring under-the-radar trade targets as the February 5 deadline approaches. Having won 14 of their last 17 games, the team has climbed to tenth in the Western Conference, increasing their likelihood of making the postseason.
The Clippers aim to acquire perimeter defenders and versatile players, especially with potential absences. Naji Marshall of the Dallas Mavericks is noted for his defensive intensity and playmaking, while TJ McConnell of the Indiana Pacers offers valuable transition play and veteran savvy.
Additionally, the team is seeking to bolster its shooting. Sam Hauser of the Boston Celtics is recognized as an elite sharpshooter, and Gary Trent Jr. of the Milwaukee Bucks is a proven three-point threat who could fill a significant gap.
These potential acquisitions would address specific team needs without requiring the Clippers to part with substantial draft capital. The team is strategically looking to improve its roster for a playoff push.
