Why The Los Angeles Clippers Do The Deal
Fans of John Wall may not like this proposal. After several injury-riddled seasons of his own, he’s supposed to pen his own redemption story in Hollywood this year.
Moreover, Reggie Jackson remains on the Clippers’ roster as well. Are we sure the Clippers really need Rose?
Well, no. On the other hand, they don’t need Morris either. Between Robert Covington and Nic Batum, the Clippers have two superior options in terms of small-ball 5s. In this crowded wing rotation, it’s hard to envision much playing time for Morris Sr. In any event, it might be a moot point:
After all, Rose would be the best point guard on this roster.
Much of that comes down to his superior floor spacing. When Kawhi Leonard and Paul George are commanding possessions, Rose will do more to compliment them than either Wall or Jackson.

Finally, a little internal competition won’t kill the Clippers. In all likelihood, they’d be looking to move the least productive member of their point guard trio by the trade deadline.
