Why The Los Angeles Clippers Do The Deal
This deal doesn’t have the Clippers bottoming out. Why would they do that?
After all, this team is extremely light on draft capital. If they decide to make big changes this summer, they’re more likely to retool than they are to rebuild.
Let’s assume that’s the plan. This deal keeps the Clippers in the playoffs. Harris may be overpaid, but he’s still a great stretch 4 who provides solid defense.
Meanwhile, Maxey already produces like a star at times.
