Clippers rumors: 2 reasons to sign Lonzo Ball and 1 reason not to

1 reason for the LA Clippers to not sign Lonzo Ball: He has no playoff experience
Lonzo Ball wouldn’t be as good of an option for the LA Clippers than Jackson; we know this.
The reason is because of how great we know that Jackson is and will be in the postseason.
‘Mr. June’ averaged 17.8 points per game in the playoffs this year, and shot 48.4% from the field (40.8% from three).
Whenever the Clippers needed a spark, Jackson was there.
Listen, the Clippers are most likely only going to be signing Ball if they can’t bring Jackson back.
If Jackson doesn’t come back, they’ll be looking for someone who can provide his playoff experience, and Ball hasn’t played in the playoffs yet.
I have no reason to assume that Ball will not be a good playoff performer. But I also already know what I have in Jackson as a playoff performer.
There are other free agent point guards who have won championships in this league before.
They may be much tougher to bring in, but they’re more proven options in the playoffs. They need to be on the Clippers’ radar too.
