Adrian Wojnarowski:
CSL league sources tell ESPN that despite a 5-4 start for the Clippers, they are in advanced discussions to deal away some of their veteran players. This has been the best start to a season for the franchise since Dylan took over as general manager and despite a re-energized feeling throughout the organization due to the play of their young core, the Clippers seem poised to trade some of their veteran assets once trade restrictions are lifted. While specific details haven't become apparent quite yet, my sources tell me that Kevon Looney and Austin Rivers have been two names the Clippers have been getting the most calls on. They remain interested in dealing veterans Jrue Holiday and Dion Waiters as well, but no traction there just yet according to sources.

This season is/was so unpredictable given the switch, but the Clippers have played pretty well. Can't blame you for stick to your play to deal some of those guys.

We would have liked to get Looney from ATL when he was going around for cheap. Good all-around player.

Time that the trade market comes back to life :-)

And yes, Looney is a great player to have around. Just needed the cap space last year and had not enough time for him.

You guys have soo many high-end bench players for contenders. I'd be surprised if it ends up being hard to move some of these guys for a young prospect or an odd pick here and there.

The Clippers rebuilding project continues!

Skill rating players got really good in the switch while SCR isn’t useful at all anymore. I think you guys have a very good DDS19 team tbh. I wouldn’t be surprised to see you making the playoffs.
