Summary
One strong possible addition to that list: the Los Angeles Clippers. With Leonard's injury coming in the second round of last year's playoffs, Clippers brass approached team governor Steve Ballmer about treating this 2021-22 season as more of "a gap year," league sources told B/R, and Ballmer gave his approval to take a page of out of Golden State's recent team-building pamphlet. The Clippers moving Serge Ibaka appears to be the most likely trade deadline maneuver for Los Angeles. The Clippers pushed back his June 30 guarantee date to July 10, which is four days after the league's moratorium ends, and can provide Los Angeles with some added flexibility for whatever offseason swing any trade deadline tinkering can help set up.For now, as the Kings and Pelicans, and even the Damian Lillard-less Blazers, still have designs on reaching the postseason, the Clippers' interim slide out of the Western Conference playoff scenario may simply add a few more veteran trade options for the laundry list of buyers around the NBA.
