The Clippers' trade budget is limited, but P.J. Tucker's contract paired with some draft considerations should get them someone decent.
That feels like an apt description of Pat Connaughton, who offers energy, three-and-D skills and a pinch of playmaking.
There isn't a standout skill in his arsenal, but there aren't many glaring weaknesses either. He's had a few strong shooting seasons (37-plus percent on decent volume in 2020-21 and 2021-22), but he usually lands closer to league average. As long as he's willing to fire them, though, that's good enough to keep defenses honest.
