CLIPPERS PICK UP PLUMLEE

The Los Angeles Clippers acquired center Mason Plumlee from the Charlotte Hornets for guard Reggie Jackson and a second-round draft pick in 2028.

What does it give the Los Angeles Clippers
In Plumlee, the Clippers land a starting center who will be used as a backup in LA (behind Ivica Zubac).

What does it give the Charlotte Hornets
Jackson could be used as a backup point guard behind LaMelo Ball. Adding a second-rounder in '28 is a bonus here.

Fantasy impact
Plumlee's fantasy stock could take a nosedive now that he will be used in a backup role. Jackson is basically in the same boat, although his stock was already on a downward plane.
