NBA Trade Rumors: 5 players LA Clippers must target this offseason

#3. Ricky Rubio

San Antonio Spurs v Phoenix Suns

Ricky Rubio had the best season of his career this year. He averaged 13 points per game and shot an impressive 36% from the 3-point line, But the Phoenix Suns are trying to build around Devin Booker and their young core, and Rubio doesn't fit in those plans.

If Ricky Rubio becomes available, the LA Clippers might be interested in his services. They badly need a playmaker who also contributes to the scoreboard, and Ricky Rubio will undoubtedly make their team better.

#2. Jrue Holiday

New Orleans Pelicans v Los Angeles Lakers

Jrue Holiday has been among the NBA trade rumors since the beginning of the year. His contract is expiring soon, and the New Orleans Pelicans might move him to make the most out of his market value.

Trading for Jrue Holiday might break the LA Clippers' bank, given the 30-year-old's enormous salary demands. But it might all be worth it, as paring Holiday with Kawhi Leonard and George will instantly make the LA Clippers favorites to win the Championship next year.

#1. Myles Turner

Sacramento Kings v Indiana Pacers

LA Clippers' lack of size in the paint was heavily exposed, as Nikola Jokic dominated their defensive bigs in the second round of the playoffs. Ivica Zubac is still too inexperienced, and Montrezl Harrell isn't strong enough to hang with the best bigs in the league.

According to the latest NBA trade rumors, Myles Turner is looking to move on from the Indiana Pacers. Turner is one of the best shot-blockers in the league and can even hit 3s from time to time. He will be an excellent fit for the LA Clippers as they prepare to overcome the best teams in the West next season.
