Clippers Delay Christie Decision | NBA News

At 21, Christie hasn’t proven enough to justify a guaranteed spot — his offensive game is limited to shooting, and his defense is a liability. The team’s thinking: he’d need to be an elite shooter to earn a roster spot, or they’ll bring him back on a two-way deal if they see potential. With only one roster spot likely to open up, trading or releasing Christie could free up room to target more impactful players — especially in the frontcourt — in a brutal Western Conference.
