Clippers Trade P.J. Tucker and Mo Bamba to Jazz for Drew Eubanks and Patty Mills
The move reduces the Clippers' financial obligations and creates a trade exception ahead of the NBA trade deadline.
- The Los Angeles Clippers traded P.J. Tucker, Mo Bamba, a future second-round pick, and cash considerations to the Utah Jazz.
- In exchange, the Clippers received forward Drew Eubanks and guard Patty Mills, who have combined salaries totaling $8.3 million.
- The trade allows the Clippers to reduce their financial burden by ducking under the luxury tax threshold by $4.1 million.
- P.J. Tucker, who has not played this season, previously expressed a desire to leave the Clippers and is expected to benefit from the change of scenery.
- The Utah Jazz, holding the worst record in the Western Conference, may explore a buyout for Tucker, whose $11.5 million salary is set to expire.
