The Los Angeles Clippers are expected to trade Lou Williams before the start of the 2020/21 season, according to several NBA executives.
Williams has one year left on his current contract with the Clippers, worth $8M.
“The additions of Ibaka and Luke Kennard (via trade with Detroit) are just the beginning; many rival teams also expect the Clippers to trade Lou Williams in their quest to create a fresh-start environment after they blew a 3-1 series lead to the Nuggets,” Marc Stein of the New York Times reports.
Williams, a three-time Sixth Man of the Year, averaged 18.2 points, 3.1 rebounds and 5.6 assists for the Clippers last season.
