Why The Los Angeles Clippers Do The Deal
One thing is certain: the Clippers shouldn’t miss Covington. They’ve hardly found time for him in their rotation this season.
With that in mind, they’re effectively flipping Zubac and a first-round pick for Rozier. Is that really worth their time?
It is. Zubac is a quality big man, but his skill set is relatively abundant in the NBA. The Clippers could make up most of his production in the free agency market.
Meanwhile, this team is too deep into contention to worry about preserving their first-round picks.
