The Clippers made some small moves while trying to construct a roster to compete in the playoffs. While these may not be shocking or sexy trades that LA has made, there is some potential with the new pieces that is to be looked at. A trade that the Clippers completed saw them acquire a reliable shooter from the Atlanta Hawks.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Clippers Make Trades for Bogdanovic, Role Players at Deadline<\/h2>\n<p><a  href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/b\/bogdabo01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bogdan Bogdanovic<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and three second-round picks are being traded to LA with the Hawks receiving \u00a0<\/span><a  href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/m\/mannte01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Terance Mann<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a  href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/h\/hylanbo01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bones Hyland<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Bogdanovic is now in his eighth season in the league as he joins his third team in the NBA. This season, Bogdanovic is having his worst year, at least statistically. However, his career average of 14.4 points and career 38% accuracy from long range can help LA off the bench. He has an 88% free throw percentage this season which can also be crucial in clutch time to close out games.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The Los Angeles Clippers are trading Terance Mann and Bones Hyland to the Atlanta Hawks for Bogdan Bogdanovic and three second-round picks, sources tell ESPN. <a  href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/jffPjDYiVm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/jffPjDYiVm<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ShamsCharania\/status\/1887582220912894416?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">February 6, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mann has been a beloved member of the Clippers since being drafted in 2019. The six-year veteran out of Florida State has averaged 8.0 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.9 assists for his career. Mann was at his best in the 2021 playoffs against the Utah Jazz. In a playoff-clinching game, Mann scored a career-high 39 points with seven made threes. Mann was a role player who not only played his heart out for LA but also contributed to the community. It helped make him a fan favorite for Clippers fans.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Smaller Trades that Impact the Clippers<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another move by the Clippers at the deadline involved guard <\/span><a  href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/p\/porteke02.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kevin Porter Jr.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> being traded to the Milwaukee Bucks for forward <\/span><a  href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/b\/beaucma01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MarJon Beauchamp<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. LA moves away from Porter Jr. who may have been one of the more active players off the bench for the team. Through 45 games, Porter Jr. is averaging a career-low 9.3 points while shooting 42.3% from the field. The left-handed wingman is traded for Beauchamp, who has only contributed about a bucket per game for the Bucks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just a few days ago, the Clippers made a small, but <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/2025\/02\/01\/jazz-clippers-curious-trade\/\" target=\"_self\">interesting trade<\/a> involving veteran <\/span><a  href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/t\/tuckepj01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PJ Tucker<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Both Tucker and <\/span><a  href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/b\/bambamo01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mo Bamba<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> were traded to the Utah Jazz for <\/span><a  href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/e\/eubandr01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drew Eubanks<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a  href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/m\/millspa02.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Patty Mills<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. A second-round pick was also sent to Utah that reunites Mills and <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/l\/leonaka01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kawhi Leonard<\/a> from their championship days with the San Antonio Spurs. As for Tucker, he\u2019s been traded to three different teams within the past few days and is now with the Toronto Raptors (for now).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What Clippers&#8217; Playoff Hopes Look Like Now<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As for the current state of the Clippers, they are just above the play-in spots with a 28-22 record. There is about a week left until the All-Star break. The Clippers hope to establish a solid record before the road to the playoffs begins. The division race is also up for grabs with the battle for Los Angeles being separated by just two games. While in a tight race to remain a guaranteed playoff team, the Clippers will have to keep up their <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/2025\/01\/25\/la-clippers-finding-rhythm\/\" target=\"_self\">winning ways<\/a> with two months left in the season.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Photo credit: \u00a9 Dale Zanine-Imagn Images<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Los Angeles Clippers have been quiet during trade talks this season, but LA made a little noise at the deadline with a few moves.
