LeBron James' Friend Fuels Clippers Big 3 Rumors With Bold James Harden–Kawhi Leonard Trade Idea

Cuffs The Legend, a longtime friend of LA Lakers star LeBron James, suggested that the LA Clippers should "blow it up" following their 14th loss this season.

On Saturday, Cuffs said that the Clippers should trade their three best players: Kawhi Leonard, James Harden and Ivica Zubac. Among the teams Cuffs suggested could swing for LA's stars were the Houston Rockets, the Boston Celtics and the Sacramento Kings.

"Time to trade Harden to Houston, Zubac to Boston, Kawhi to Kings and blow it all up," Cuffs tweeted.

Coming into Saturday's game against the Dallas Mavericks, the Clippers are just 5-14 and have lost 12 of their previous 14 games.

In a separate tweet on Saturday, Cuffs said Harden could team up with Anthony Edwards on the Minnesota Timberwolves. Cuffs was watching the Timberwolves’ game against the Celtics on Saturday, as evidenced by his several tweets about the matchup.

"James Harden should force his way to the Minnesota Timberwolves and run with Ant Man.. I see the vision.. and it’s perfect for the Adidas rollout," Cuffs tweeted.

Leonard, Harden and Zubac are the Clippers' three leading scorers this season. Harden is averaging 27.6 points per game, while Leonard (24.9 ppg) and Zubac (16.2 ppg) follow.

Kawhi Leonard comments on the LA Clippers' struggles

The LA Clippers had a 112-107 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday, marking their third straight loss. Two-time NBA champion Kawhi Leonard was asked postgame what has to change to turn the season around.

"Just everything, like I've been saying," Leonard said. "It's the same game. There is no new formula to winning. Gotta play with pace, get back in transition, rebounding basketball and just share it, trust one another and pretty much execute the game plan."

Leonard added that it has to be a whole team effort if they want to rack up wins:

"That’s a challenge you gotta face, and I’m up for it. We just gotta go out there and tuck in our jerseys and get ready to scrap if we really wanna win. It can't be two players, can't be three; it has to be the whole 15 unit. Even guys on the bench that's not playing."

Leonard has only played in nine games so far, as he has been in and out of the lineup due to various injuries. Coming into the season, the Clippers had championship aspirations, as the team went all out to acquire several aging veterans over the summer. In a fast-paced NBA landscape, there have been questions about the roster's fit and age.
