LA is trying to right the wrong of the John Collins and Norman Powell trade
On the trail of Los Angeles The Clippers are cutting ties with veteran guard Chris Paul overnight, additional moves could be on the horizon, starting with John Collinswhich team traded Norman Powell last year. Collins is reportedly on the trading block, as the team is trying to save the Clippers in 2025-26 campaign.
At 5-16, which is second-worst in the Western Conference, the Clippers are reportedly shopping Collins, according to Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.
“One thing that is known at this point is that the Clippers are actively shopping John Collins, league sources said. The Clippers acquired Collins in a three-team deal with the Heat and Utah Jazz that sent Norman Powell to Miami, a deal that now looks like Los Angeles wishes it never made,” Siegel said.
“Collins is making $26.5 million this season in the final year of his contract, giving the Clippers a big buffer they could use financially if they look for an immediate roster upgrade.”
It will be interesting to see how things pan out for the Clippers between now and the next few months.
