The Clippers are landing on this list because of the price they paid for Rondo, who is in the midst of the worst season of his career. They surrendered Lou Williams and two future second-round picks; that is more than the Philadelphia 76ers surrendered for George Hill or the Celtics traded for Evan Fournier.
