Why The Los Angeles Clippers Do The Deal 

Meanwhile, the Clippers do this deal with the opposite reasoning in mind. 

They don’t need Finney Smith. Between Robert Covington and Nic Batum, they’ve got similar players. Kawhi Leonard and Paul George double as 3-and-D wings as well. 

At the same time, they don’t really need Wall either. At his current level of production, they could probably replace him on the buyout market. This is a matter of swapping one luxury for another. 

Finally, Finney-Smith is an insurance policy. Kawhi Leonard is often injured.
