Clippers trade Austin Rivers to the Wizards for Marcin Gortat
The Los Angeles Clippers have agreed to trade guard Austin Rivers to the Washington Wizards in exchange for center Marcin Gortat, per Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.
The swap helps provide depth in the backcourt for the Wizards while the Clippers get a big man who can help out in case DeAndre Jordan opts out of his deal this summer. It also frees up playing time in the backcourt for first-round pick Jerome Robinson. Both Rivers and Gortat are entering the final year of their contract with Gortat scheduled to earn $13.5M and Rivers $12.5M.
Rivers averaged 15.1 points and 4.0 assists per game while shooting 42.4% from the floor in 2017-18.
