Why The Los Angeles Clippers Do The Deal 

In fact, injuries have generally been a major problem for this Clippers team. 

Perhaps they should have seen that coming. Both George and Kawhi Leonard have an extensive history of getting hurt. With that in mind, is Kristaps Porzingis really an optimal target? 

Well, there’s an old saying. that applies here – in for a penny, in for a pound. This deal leaves the Clippers in the same position they’re already in. if they’re healthy, they’ll be title contenders. 

It’ll just become even truer. In theory, Porzingis is perfect for this team. It allows them to maintain five-out spacing while adding an elite drop coverage rim protector.
