Could Clippers Trade Recent Forward Acquisition? This Insider Believes So

The Los Angeles Clippers are going to need to make some changes. After a fairly successful season last year, they’ve been a huge disappointment so far this season. The Clippers rumors are starting to pick up as people believe they need to make some major roster changes to turn things around. 

Grant Hughes of Bleacher Report recently predicted “The 1 Player On Every NBA Team Most Likely To Be Traded,” and he thinks John Collins could already be on his way out of Los Angeles. 

“John Collins' $26.6 million is next in line after Leonard's $50 million and Harden's $39.2 million. That, combined with underwhelming production after coming over in a disastrous deal that sent away Norman Powell, makes him a good bet to be on the block.

Collins will have to shoot better than his current 31.0 percent from three if the Clippers want any serious offers, but suitors could convince themselves that the guy who put up 19.0 points and 8.2 rebounds while hitting 39.9 percent of his triples with the Utah Jazz last year is still in there somewhere.

Given how everyone other than Harden has performed this year, it's easy enough to believe there's just something in the water in L.A. these days.”

The Clippers just traded for Collins, but that doesn’t mean he’s safe from being traded. The Clippers need to do whatever they can to save their season. Whether that is going all-in on a win-now move or cutting bait with the few players they have with value in order to start a rebuild. Something needs to happen.
