Does this trade make sense for the LA Clippers?
Assuming they do not want to give up on the season just yet, Terrence Ross is an excellent, affordable option for the LA Clippers to pursue ahead of the trade deadline.
They would definitely have to convince the Magic that taking on Eric Bledsoe’s contract is not a punishment seeing as he can be waived at a small price after this season, but Los Angeles should definitely be thrilled about the idea of adding Ross on the wing.
Without George and Leonard, the Clippers have really struggled this season on the offensive-end of the floor and they have scored at least 108 points in just five games since the start of January. The reason 108 points per game is significant is because this is the NBA average for scoring this season.
The Clippers main struggle right now is not having reliable scoring weapons that they can depend on, which is why giving up Bledsoe and some second-round picks for Ross makes sense this season.
