Why The LA Clippers Do The Deal
If you’re not a Clippers fan, you may want to avert your eyes, or maybe go find another article. What you’re about to see is nightmare fodder.
Following this deal, the Clippers would likely field a starting lineup of John Wall (or Reggie Jackson), Paul George, Kawhi Leonard, Robert Covington, and Myles Turner.
We told you not to look.
We’re not sure if we’ve ever seen so many 3-and-D players in one lineup. Seriously. Turner is one of the few big men in the league with that skill set. His rim protection behind the combined perimeter stopping of Covington, Leonard, and George should make for the best defense in the NBA.
