The clippers were very successful when kawhi was healthy he has just torn his meniscus and if the clippers don’t make the playoffs kawhi can play if they make it. So if they could get a good defensive big it would help. So they get ayton who can be the second or third or even fourth option for the clippers they also resign Westbrook. Then they get a future first and McGee for zubac and commit to plumlee as the backup
The suns do this because they need a better bench
The Mavs do this because they get another first this year and get zubac
