Ideally, the Clippers would have had Tucker participate with the team until the winter, when the trade market presents more realistic options. Tucker’s high salary could then be helpful to the Clippers toward completing a transaction. But Tucker has such limited trade value that it would certainly cost the Clippers an asset to move him. It’s not like the Clippers don’t have positions of weakness. The offense lacks consistent shooting threats, especially with Leonard out indefinitely to manage his right knee rehabilitation, and there is no reliable backup center. New acquisition Mo Bamba was held out of scrimmages and the preseason opener with left knee soreness, while 2021 first-round pick Kai Jones still has to make the team after playing in zero NBA games last season. -via New York Times / October 7, 2024
