Why The Los Angeles Clippers Do The Deal
By contrast, the Clippers are absolutely not in the running for Wembanyama. They don’t own their pick in the upcoming draft, and moreover, they have one of the best rosters in the NBA.
While they’re in this position, they might as well make it better.
Adding Myles Turner to this group verges on unfairness. Imagine a starting lineup of Turner, Robert Covington, Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, and one of Reggie Jackson or John Wall. Do you like 3-and-Ds?
We hope so because, besides the point guard, those guys are all 3-and-Ds. Ivica Zubac is good, but he isn’t irreplaceable.

Adding Turner’s floor spacing and superior rim protection could make the Clippers a juggernaut in 2022-23. In fact, barring injuries, it should make them title favorites.
That alone should make the spending they had to do to get there worthwhile.
