3 years agoThe LA Clippers have begun to bulk up their roster ahead of the trade deadline, adding small forwards Norman Powell and Robert Covington to the mix in a deal that sent Eric Bledsoe, Justise Winslow and Keon Johnson to Portland. The move serves as added depth for an LA squad that is unlikely to have Kawhi Leonard (knee) at its disposal this year, with Paul George (elbow) in danger of missing the remainder of the season as well. Powell has averaged a career-best 18.7 points per game across 40 outings (39 starts) this year, and he could stand to serve as one of the Clippers top scoring options for the rest of the season. Covington has shot a career-worst 38.1 percent overall this season and he stands to play a limited role on what now appears to be a crowded LA frontcourt.--Jesse Borek
