Sports Renewal Season In the midst of the basketball trade boom, the Clippers and the Hornets made a high-profile 3-for-1 deal. At the heart of the deal is the Clippers' acquisition of the Hornets' PJ Washington, while the Hornets get the Clippers' PJ Tucker, Plumlee, and a first-round pick.
The goal of the Clippers' recruitment this time is clear, that is, to strengthen the team's forward strength. The arrival of PJ-Washington will undoubtedly breathe new life into the Clippers. Washington is a scoring forward with a variety of scoring methods, whether it's outside shooting or inside attacking. In addition, he is also quite good defensively, and can provide strong support to the Clippers on the defensive end.
And the Hornets got the chips they wanted in this deal. P.J. Tucker is an experienced guard whose playmaking and three-point shooting ability will give the Hornets a big boost on the offensive end. Plumlee is a young, dynamic center with rebounding and defensive prowess that the Hornets need inside. And a first-round pick opens up more possibilities for the Hornets to rebuild in the future.
The deal has far-reaching implications for both parties. The Clippers have improved the team's overall strength by bringing in Washington, adding more confidence to the championship race. The Hornets accelerated the team's rebuilding process with this deal, laying a solid foundation for future rise.
