Sħãlïq™ Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Over the next week and a half, the Los Angeles Clippers will make a strong push to acquire a starting shooting guard, according to multiple sources close to the situation. Ever since Chauncey Billups’ season ended due to a torn left Achilles tendon, the Clippers have been searching for a replacement two-guard. They tried to sign J.R. Smith after he returned from China, but he decided to join the New York Knicks. They even worked out free agent shooting guards such as Michael Finley and Jermaine Taylor. Now, the Clippers are hoping to solve their problem with a trade prior to the March 15 deadline. As of right now, Randy Foye and Travis Leslie are the only true shooting guards on the Clippers’ roster. Foye has been the starter since Billups’ injury, but the team continues to look for an upgrade. Leslie, a second-round pick in this year’s draft, has appeared in just eight games for the Clippers. The Clippers have expressed interest in Ray Allen and Jamal Crawford, according to sources.Full Story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
