Sources: Clippers gauged trade interest for Lance Stephenson, Josh Smith

https://s.yimg.com/os/388/2012/05/28/01-expert-feat-posts-70x70-png_230455.png (https://sports.yahoo.com/author/marc-j-spears/) By Marc J. Spears (https://sports.yahoo.com/author/marc-j-spears/) 2 hours ago Yahoo Sports (https://sports.yahoo.com/)









The Los Angeles Clippers (https://sports.yahoo.com/nba/teams/lac/) gauged trade interest in Lance Stephenson (https://sports.yahoo.com/nba/players/4771/) and Josh Smith (https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/9928/) last month, league sources told Yahoo Sports.

Stephenson can be traded now while Smith is not eligible to be dealt until Dec. 15 after signing as a free agent in the offseason. Two NBA executives told Yahoo Sports that the Clippers would have hard time trading the struggling newcomers who have not fit in well during the team's slow start.


After the first season of his three-year, $27 million contract, the Charlotte Hornets (https://sports.yahoo.com/nba/teams/cha/) traded Stephenson on June 16 to the Clippers for Spencer Hawes (https://sports.yahoo.com/nba/players/4288/) and forward Matt Barnes (https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/9333/). Entering Monday, Stephenson was averaging 5.4 points, 3.2 rebounds and 19 minutes in 19 games for the Clippers. He started 10 games, but was demoted with his last start coming Nov. 12.

Smith was averaging career-lows in points (5.4), rebounds (4.3), field-goal percentage (.386) and minutes (15.4) through the first 20 games this season. He signed a one-year deal paying the veteran's minimum in the offseason.


The Orange County Register previously reported that Smith was involved in a loud shouting match with a Clippers assistant coach following a 90-81 loss to the Toronto Raptors (https://sports.yahoo.com/nba/teams/tor/) on Nov. 21. The assistant in question was Mike Woodson, a source told Yahoo. Woodson coached Smith in Atlanta.


The Clippers have also been open to trading guard Jamal Crawford (https://sports.yahoo.com/nba/players/3407/) since the offseason, sources Yahoo.

[gambit1990]

Grizz should get in on that. It'd change the match up against the Spurs at least (provided Anderson is done choking in the postseason)...

[Chinook]

That's the first piece of compelling news about the trade market. Dude has the value to get multiple firsts even being an expiring.

the Pelicans who are just 3 games up in the loss columns from the Lakers but still hopeful about the playoffs it seems :lol..

New Orleans upcoming four games are against direct competition for 8th seed : @Utah, @Phoenix @ Denver, vs Portland..if they go 0-4 or 1-3, i'm not sure why this team wouldn't consider cutting bait to tank the season..

[spankadelphia]

Not sure the Grizz have anything the Pelicans want, but I'd love to have Ryan Anderson. Probably could have swapped Zbo for him in the offseason.

There are fresh rumors here (last nite) that Memphis is willing to trade Randolph & parts for Markieff & parts.

Neither team improves.

Markieff Morris for Howard straight up?

The worst idea that crossed my mind was, what if they trade Harden for Anus Kanter and fillers. I'd die

[DJR210]

:lol Anus Kancer

Thanks, I made it myself.


But it would have looked better if Cassel had gone 2-2 or something in Romo's absence instead of 0-4.

They'd piss their panties here. Christ, they'd make it bigger than Greinke.

just as long as he's gone we'd be good with it.

[spankadelphia]

I disagree. Markieff would be a better fit next to Marc at this point.

Would not make the team better than they can be right now with Randolph. They won't win a ring either way, but their ceiling with just this trade is lower than standing pat.

[spankadelphia]

You're right, one trade isn't going to fix anything. If they were going to "retool" the roster around Conley and Gasol, the time to do it was 2-3 years ago. Or even last year. No one has any real trade value anymore except Mike and Marc, so it needs to be blown up.

Tyson + Kieff for Howard + protected 1st, do it Morey !

[spursistan]

Won't matter as long as the canceRose situation isn't addreesed..

[DMC]

Noah would be a good fit in Cleveland.

[Kawhitstorm]

Melo, since Joakim has an expiring contract.

[Kawhitstorm]

Tyson + Kieff for Howard + protected 1st, do it Morey !

Kieff isn't worth eating Tyson's contract esp. when Dwight has said he will opt out & Capela at this point is as good as Tyson. The Rockets also have D-Mo/T-Jones who are more consistent than Kieff & much better defenders.

signing Chandler to that contract was dumb move by the Suns..he is slowing down considerably and they had young center (Len) coming up and should have kept developing him..

PATFO cucked the Suns by teasing them as if they had a chance at signing LMA then announcing they signed him after Tyson completed the deal:lol

[BatManu20]

Noah would be a good fit in Cleveland.

Agreed, but who would they give up? Shumpert or JR Smith? CHI's definitely not trading for Dick Jefferson. Don't see the Cavs trading any of their core guys. Plus Lebron and Noah don't like each other.

LoL @ the Bulls trading for JR.:lmao McBuckets is a better player than JR & the Cavs need Shumpert to cover up for Kyrie's defensive deficiencies. :lol The Bulls need a blockbuster trade, not some band-aid solution thus Melo is their best hope.

[gambit1990]

uh, what wing are the bulls targeting?

He was never going to sign here and everybody knew it. LMA has the same agent as Knight. So as a favor the agent pimped out LMA to the Suns. Had as much a chance of happening as them signing Dale. They got it into their cement heads that Chandler would solve all their problems. Older black gentleman would mentor youg black militants and middle aged hunkie honkie Hornacek wouldn't get the livin' shit beat out of him.

Latest:::somebody had to step twixt Chandler & Tucker in SLC Monday nite during a TO.
