Trade idea sends Butler and Moody to Clippers for Ingram, Dick, Strus

A hypothetical trade would send Jimmy Butler III and Moses Moody to the Clippers for Brandon Ingram, Gradey Dick and Max Strus. The idea leans on injuries: Butler is out until January or February after an ACL tear, and Moody is recovering from a ruptured patellar tendon.

Golden State would get three players on expiring or optional deals to keep the roster flexible for 2027, while the Clippers would clear space around Keaton Wagler and Darius Garland.
