Clippers trade for Norman Powell, Robert Covington

What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Chris Herrington @ChrisHerrington
That deal presumably shores up Clippers as a postseason team and candidate to get above the play-in line, but Powell will be a good fit (and Covington too if re-signed) with Kawhi/George next season. – 2:31 PM
Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBS
So let’s say the Clippers have Kawhi and PG back healthy next season.
Their supporting cast, right now, looks like this: Jackson, Morris, Batum, maybe Covington, Powell, Mann, Zubac, Kennard, Boston, Preston, Coffey, maybe Hartenstein, maybe an MLE.
Expensive but awesome. – 2:30 PM
Adrian Wojnarowski @wojespn
The Clippers are trading Eric Bledsoe, Justise Winslow, Keon Johnson and future second-round pick to the Trail Blazers for Norman Powell and Robert Covington, sources tell ESPN. – 2:26 PM

Robert Covington tonight joined Norm Van Lier and Josh Giddey as the only players in #NBA history with 10+ rebounds, 9+ assists, and zero points in a game. – 1:17 AM

Davis hit a jumper, then 1 of 2 bonus FT’s, to put LAL up 3 with 2:07 left.
Portland had previously tied the game after Westbrook tried to help off Norman Powell in the corner on consecutive possessions, and Powell hit his 4th and 5th 3’s of the night. – 12:48 AM
Mark Medina @MarkG_Medina
Anthony Davis made a fall-back jumper, while Robert Covington fell to the floor. – 11:55 PM
Kamenetzky Brothers @KamBrothers
The Lakers caught a bit of a break when Covington misses Nurkic with Russ guarding him very down low on a switch, instead fires up a three. Lakers run out the miss, and Russ sets up Bradley for a corner three. AK – 11:35 PM
Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBS
Showcase opportunity for THT against a bad Portland defensive backcourt.
Chance for the Lakers to scout Robert Covington up close as a possible target.
Oh and yea I guess a win would be helpful in the standings too. Kinda locked in on deadline stuff though. – 10:41 PM

Sources: Utah Jazz discussed several wing options on the trade market, including Harrison Barnes, Robert Covington, Josh Richardson and Josh Okogie. Danny Ainge tried to trade for Barnes when he was with the Celtics. Now, he’s eying him again in Utah.
