The Los Angeles Clippers have previously been linked with interest in Mike Conley, but sources tell Kevin O’Connor of The Ringer that they’re also interested in Kyle Lowry and Fred VanVleet. The Clippers can only trade a first round pick in 2028, but they own all of their second round picks beyond 2027. They also have workable contracts for salary matching.
The point guard position has been an area of need for the Clippers as John Wall and Reggie Jackson have struggled.
Lowry makes $28.3 million this season and has been in evident decline since joining the Miami Heat in 2021.
VanVleet will be a free agent this offseason and figures to receive a raise on his $22.8 million salary.
Kawhi Leonard was previously teammates with both Lowry and VanVleet during his lone season with the Toronto Raptors.
