NBA Trade Rumors: 5 players LA Clippers can target to fill the leadership void in their roster

#3 Kyle Lowry

Kyle Lowry is the kind of leader the LA Clippers sorely need.

Despite the Toronto Raptors' postseason being somewhat of a disappointment, Kyle Lowry was one of their best players on the floor.

Lowry has the ability to inspire his teammates and rally the troops to keep going. Moreover, his penchant of putting his body on the line for the team can be infectious and potentially infuse some camaraderie and selflessness into the LA Clippers roster.

With the LA Clippers perhaps a collection of individual players rather than a team at the moment, a player like Kyle Lowry could prove to be essential for the success of the team.

#4 Draymond Green

Draymond Green could be the positive locker room presence for the LA Clippers.

According to NBA trade rumors, the Golden State Warriors have been considering trading away Draymond Green this off-season, which could be perfect for the LA Clippers.

While many could argue that Green is on the decline, the 30-year-old could still be a huge asset for the Clippers by donning a point-forward role for the team.

More importantly, though, Draymond Green could be that positive locker room presence that the team needs so sorely as the player is able to will his team through the toughest of times and practically become the backbone of the team.

With the LA Clippers desperate for a true leader in their roster, Draymond Green could be that player for the franchise.

#5 Derrick Rose

Derrick Rose could be the perfect player for the LA Clippers.

Derrick Rose has been heavily linked with the LA Clippers in numerous NBA trade rumors, and it is no wonder to see why.

After suffering an unfortunate ACL injury early on in his career, the 32-year-old has evolved to become one of the finest active players in the NBA.

The LA Clippers need a point guard who is more adept at the offensive end, and Rose is exactly that kind of a player. He is an elite facilitator and is even better as a scorer. He could also a positive presence at the defensive end too.

However, more importantly for the LA Clippers, while Derrick Rose isn't as vocal a leader as some of the others in this list, he has been touted to be an amazing locker room presence. Especially during his time with the Minnesota Timberwolves, Rose showed an amazing ability to motivate the younger players to play at their best.

He may not have the strongest resume, but the respect Rose has in the NBA is massive, and that could definitely help him be a strong leader for the LA Clippers if he is acquired by the franchise.
