Should the Clippers seek zero-for-all deals? They can pursue 22+5 guards, former dunk king + second round pick to become chips

Basketball

After the offseason lineup adjustment, the Clippers are already the top in the league from the perspective of bench depth. However, the problem is also obvious. In addition to Leonard, the Clippers nowadays, other players do not seem to be that outstanding in decisive battles. Not to mention that Leonard's age and injury risks cannot be ignored, and the team really lacks fresh blood.

So the media believes that the Clippers should seek zero-for-all transactions, which will make the lineup stronger. For example, the Clippers can pursue defender Quentin Grimes. He switched to the 76ers last season and scored his best career performance. Former dunk king Derek Jones and last year's second round pick Cam Christie will become the main bargaining chips in the trade. As for the second round pick and draft swap rights, they are already considered a trivial increase.

Although Quentin Grimes did not have a particularly high draft pick, he showed his talent very early. Of course, Quentin Grimes was more of a 3D defender at that time. Until last season's trade deadline, Quentin Grimes was sent 76ers, which allowed him to seize the opportunity because the team was injured in the second half of the camp. In the second half of the season, Quentin Grimes averaged 21.9 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.5 steals per game, becoming the strong point of the 76ers' outside. However, even though the data soared, the 76ers' management insisted not to issue a big contract for Quentin Grimes this summer, and the two sides remained stalemate.

After all, from the perspective of the 76ers, even if Quentin Grimes' data is good, the sample is still too small. Moreover, when all the players are healthy in the new season, there are many people who can use the backcourt, so you can naturally feel at ease to lower the price of Quentin Grimes. Of course, there are risks for the 76ers to do this, so sending him to other teams in exchange for some assets as a return is also a safer choice. The Clippers are all going to compete for the championship, Quentin Grimes is only 25 years old. Whether as a 3D puzzle or a potential deputy attacker, they can help the Clippers.

After adjusting the lineup this summer, Derek Jones Jr. is likely to become a substitute, and his role is likely to decline compared to last season. Then sending him to 76ers may be a good thing for each, because 76ers lack this kind of physical flow of double-energy front engineers. As for other young substitutes and draft picks, the Clippers don't have time to practice at this stage. Instead, if the 76ers don't see hope for the championship, they can seek reconstruction as soon as possible.
