Clippers reasons for doing this trade:
I am trading away Jeff Green because I feel that my team needs more scoring and he isn't pushing the envelope. I'll miss his defensive presence but the Timberwolves have expressed that they are in dire need of defensive help. Nene is a huge asset to my team but he is being traded away because I feel that I have younger bigs that can step in and fill his shoes as well as an offensive stud in Drew Gooden. Nene will provide a solid veteran presence with the Timberwolves and should help them break out of their slump with his work int he post. TJ Ford is the fastest point guard in the league, bar none. But at this point, the Clippers® organization feels good with combo guard Evan Turner using his versatility to fill this role. TJ Ford will bring solid scoring off the bench for the Timberwolves or could even start if need be.
I am trading for Carmelo Anthony because the Clippers® have been in a slump over the past few weeks and need a spark of some sort. Bringing in another star alongside K Love and Lin figures to be in our best interest for a short-term fix and hopefully long-term if he decides to stay with our organization. His scoring as well as rebounding abilities will bring a much needed boost to this team. Although his D is not the best, we have solid defenders around him to help him in this regard.
