Why The Los Angeles Lakers Do The Deal
We already gave away the ending here. The Lakers do this deal because they’re lacking 3-and-D wings.

It may be that Covington has lost a step. On the other hand, the Clippers may also simply trust Nic Batum more. He’s been with the organization for much longer.
Either way, this has to be a player that can still contribute in a larger role. The Lakers should find out.
