Why The Los Angeles Clippers Do The Deal 

Meanwhile, the Clippers don’t need much from the point guard spot. 

This offense will run through Kawhi Leonard and Paul George regardless. The Clippers simply need a solid decision-maker who can hit threes. Lowry still meets those qualifications. 

He’s worth this cost to the Clippers. Again, this team has a surplus of 3-and-D wings – they don’t have much use for Covington anyway. If they’re not going to play him, they may as well trade him. 

Morris Sr. is also replicable. The Clippers will know they’re not getting prime Lowry here, but even a more limited version of him ought to do.
