The Clippers are actively seeking help before the court in the trade market

The Los Angeles Clippers we were a solid team throughout the season, even without Kawhi Leonard. Now it appears they are looking to upgrade their roster, primarily in the frontcourt. With several trade assets in their team, there is a chance for that they can actually make a moveaccording to Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.

“More importantly, Los Angeles still has room to further improve its roster using the PJ Tucker and Bones Hyland contracts,” Siegel wrote. “This is the organization’s top priority at the moment and they are actively seeking relief from the courts,” sources said. Robert Williams III and Chris Boucher are among several players the Clippers are tracking.

“Boucher is one of the few players the Toronto Raptors have engaged in trade discussions with.” The Raptors have made it known to teams that they are seeking a second-round pick for the 32-year-old big man, sources said. Rival teams don’t see Boucher’s value as more than a second-round pick. The big man is making $10.8 million in the final year of his contract and will be an unrestricted free agent in the summer.

Williams has proven to be an excellent rim protector and could definitely be a good backup Ivica Zubac. Boucher is a player who can stretch the floor, and can open up the Clippers offense with his skill set.

Will the Clippers make a move before the deadline?

The Clippers are fifth in the Western Conference and i just got kawhi leonard backwhich means they can continue to climb the table. James Harden and Norman Powell have led the Clippers through this season and are putting up All-Star numbers, but with more help, they could be an even more dangerous team.

The frontcourt is where they currently lack talent, and a trade could help them get through the season with real depth behind Ivica Zubac. Currently, Mo Bamba is Zubac’s backup, but the Clippers can find another better option on the trade market. If it is true that Robert Williams III and Chris Boucher are on their radar, it would be a plus for the team if they were able to land them.

As long as Harden, Powell and Leonard lead the team, they should be in good shape, but in a loaded Western Conference, it would be best for them to try to make as many moves as possible to improve their roster.
