The Clippers are a long shot but may emerge as a viable trading partner if Carmelo Anthony is not able to force his way to one of his preferred destinations, according to two sources.
The Clippers can offer cap relief, Minnesota's first rounder in 2011 and Los Angeles is the type of big market Anthony is seeking.
Los Angeles may also improve an offer by including the contract of Chris Kaman.
Sources say Anthony views the Clippers as a last resort option if a trade to New York or New Jersey is unsuccessful.
