4. Los Angeles Clippers

Lance Stephenson would be a perfect addition for the Los Angeles Clippers, and they are one of the teams that Adrian Wojnarowski said are checking into him. Doc Rivers could use another playmaker on the roster, and would be able to plug him into the starting lineup and slide Matt Barnes out of it. He would add exactly the skill-set that the Clippers could use out of their small forward.

His fast pace style of play would fit nicely into what Los Angeles does, and he’s a willing playmaker for his teammates as well. He isn’t a great three-point shooter, but he is more than capable of knocking them down if he’s left open.

Los Angeles should definitely look into pulling the trigger on a Stephenson trade if the opportunity presents itself. He’s a great fit for them assuming he comes at the right price, and would add to the up-and-coming youth on the roster. Rivers is the perfect type of coach to help reel Stephenson in as well.
