Why The Los Angeles Clippers Do The Deal
As a matter of reality, it is hard to predict where the Los Angeles Clippers will end up next. In a nutshell, this team is in a pretty tough situation right now.
The feeling that they can’t rely on Kawhi Leonard or Paul George staying healthy is one of the biggest issues they face. There have been some suggestions that they should give up on this core tenet. Luckily, this deal makes sense no matter what they decide to do with it.
It would be a sensible addition for the Clippers to add Ayton as part of their rebuilding, or even retooling process. The fact that he is still so young makes him a suitable candidate for a long-term plan.
If they are staying in a win-now mode, this also makes sense if they are staying in a win-now mode. In comparison to Zubac, Ayton is an upgrade. Despite playing Covington hardly at all last year, Morris Sr.’s place on this team is expendable.
