Clippers Trade Proposal Involving John Collins
The Los Angeles Clippers are considering a trade to shake up their roster by moving John Collins and acquiring a high-profile, disgruntled point guard. This season, the Clippers are in a win-now mode with a veteran-heavy lineup but have struggled early on.
Current Team Performance
The Clippers rank poorly on defense (26th) and average on offense (16th) in the 2025-26 NBA season based on advanced metrics. This raises concerns about their championship potential given the current team composition.
Trade Details
Suggested by Yossi Gozlan of AP Hoops, the trade would send the Clippers:
- Ja Morant, a disgruntled star point guard with a $197 million contract
- John Konchar
In exchange, the Memphis Grizzlies would receive:
- John Collins
- Bogdan Bogdanovic
- A 2030 first-round pick
Potential Impact
“In what would be a home run trade for the Clippers, they could land a young star to inject new life into the franchise and improve their current outlook this season.”
This trade could breathe new energy into the team and enhance their chances this season by adding talented youth in place of veterans.
