Green to LAC

While it’s not ideal to deal Green to an inner-conference opponent, the Clippers could give the Warriors exactly what they need. In this deal, the Warriors gain another elite lockdown defender on the wing and a solid off-the-bench big.

To go along with a first-round pick, the Warriors couldn’t ask for more. Bradley has been having one of his professional seasons in the Bay, averaging under eight points per game on under 40% from the field. Scott also hasn’t played a large role for Los Angeles.

On the other side of the deal, the Clippers would be snagging a player that might put them into the conversation. After a red-hot start to the season, the Clippers cooled off, dropped out of the top-five teams in the West.

A trade bringing in Green who could make their defense even better would be ideal. They’d also benefit from his passing ability as they’re one of the league’s worst passing teams, averaging under 23 assists per game.

Overall, this trade seems like a win-win.
