If they’re going to turn it around this season, the Lakers still need shooting and length, and the Clippers could use athleticism and energy
And, yes, fashion choices. Injured Clippers star Paul George decided to go with salmon-colored sweats Friday for his 14th game on the sideline this season; injured Lakers star Anthony Davis with a gray ball cap for his 17th.The NBA’s Feb. 9 trade deadline is fast approaching, and if these teams would prefer for their paying customers to go away feeling satisfied with the product on the floor, they’ll do something to improve it.
The Clippers, meanwhile, are supposed to be contenders with their carefully brewed modern NBA makeup. Instead, the season has been a case study in roster constipation, with restrictions and redundancies making it tough to move forward.Indiana’s 26-year-old shot-blocker Myles Turner would fit the bill, or Atlanta’s high-flying John Collins, 25, could work. Or perhaps another big, like Utah’s Kelly Olynyk, who has range, floor vision and isn’t known for being particularly polite on the court.
