ADAMS DEALT, THEN WAIVED
The Los Angeles Clippers acquired forward Hassan Adams and cash considerations from the Toronto Raptors for a future conditional second-round draft pick.
What does it give the Los Angeles Clippers
Since the Clippers waived Adams after acquiring him, they are simply helping Toronto open up a roster spot and a little cap space (which they have more of than the Raptors), and they get some cash in return.
What does it give the Toronto Raptors
The move helps the Raptors get under the NBA's luxury tax threshold, and also helps them clear a roster spot (giving Toronto more flexibility if a player they want more than Adams becomes available soon).
