5 teams that should trade for Omri Casspi

3. Los Angeles Clippers

The Clippers are off to a great start this season, but their options at small forward (Luc Mbah a Moute, Wes Johnson, Paul Pierce, Alan Anderson) are not impressive. They don’t need a lot from that spot in terms of consistent offensive production, but Casspi would be a nice option to supplement J.J. Redick and Jamal Crawford as perimeter shooters.

It’s obviously very early, but the Clippers seem primed to finally get over the second-round playoff hump this season. Casspi’s salary for this season ($2.96 million) should not prohibit them from making a trade for him, and being in the final year of his deal helps bolster his appeal.

If getting more playing time is Casspi’s primary concern, as it seems to be (besides just wanting to leave the seemingly never-ending drama in Sacramento), the Clippers are probably not a preferred trade destination for him. Making a trade with another team in the Pacific Division may not be particularly appealing for the Kings, but that should be of minimal concern when it comes to moving Casspi. The Clippers don’t necessarily have a lot to offer in a trade, but they should have some interest in Casspi.
