Trade #3

Milos Teodosic has had a weird 2-year stint with the Los Angeles Clippers. Last Year, he showed flashes of his play-making and shooting ability before dealing with a plantar fascia injury that had him sit out mostly all of last season.

This season he has shown those same flashes once again, but with the roster being so deep, he hasn’t seen much action.

Rumors have now surfaced that once the NBA season ends, Teodosic would like to go back overseas and play. With Teodosic not seeing any minutes, the Kings make a perfect fit for him.

He is familiar with players Nemaja Bjelica, Bogdan Bogdanovic, and Front-Office members in Assistant GM Peja Stojakovic and GM Vlade Divac. The Kings are thin at backup point guard and Teodosic’s skill set can elevate that bench unit.

The Clippers get back a guard who has found his game again in Iman Shumpert and a good locker-room vet in Zach Randolph. This would mark Randolph’s second stint with the LA Clippers, having played with them in 08′-09′.

Instead of letting go of Milos for nothing, why not acquire two players whose contracts expire at the end of the season. Shumpert might stay should he continue to play well.
