LA Clippers Receive: G C.J. McCollum, C Jonas Valanciunas

New Orleans Pelicans Receive: G/F Paul George

Building an NBA team is like putting together a puzzle. If the pieces don’t fit, it’s not going to work.

With that in mind, sometimes teams look to avoid redundancies. Rostering two players with the same skillset often won’t be as beneficial as rostering two players with complementary ones.

With that said, redundant strengths are better than redundant weaknesses. For example, having two bad defenders in your starting lineup is unacceptable if your goal is to win an NBA title. You could say the same about starting two non-shooters.

On the other hand, having two 3-and-D wings who can also create their own shot in the same starting lineup is viable. That’s where the LA Clippers land with their star duo of Kawhi Leonard and Paul George.
