Why The Los Angeles Clippers Do The Deal
At full health, the Clippers are conceptually sound.
This offense is supposed to be built around a pair of two-way, shot-creating wings in Kawhi Leonard and Paul George. That should work. At the same time, is it necessarily optimal?
Perhaps the Clippers could use a new wrinkle. In particular, a big man who can score inside unassisted would give them a more dynamic offensive attack. A big man like, for example, Anthony Davis.
That’s what this deal is about for the Clippers – diversifying their attack. Davis may be a step slower than he used to be, but he’s still an elite third option.

If the Clippers landed him, they should resume their path toward serious title contention.
If all goes well, they could win the Battle of L.A. before long.
