Clippers trade rumors: L.A. working to send Reggie Bullock to Cavaliers for Tyler Zeller

L.A. is looking to add size.

Anthony Gruppuso-USA TODAY Sport

The L.A. Clippers are in discussions with the Cleveland Cavaliers to trade Reggie Bullock for Tyler Zeller, reports ESPN's Brian Windhorst. L.A. has been looking for frontcourt help, and while it's debatable how much of that Zeller can offer, Bullock has played sparingly under Doc Rivers.

Cleveland has been especially active. Earlier on Thursday, the team acquired Spencer Hawes from the Sixers for Earl Clark, Henry Sims and picks.

Bullock, a rookie, is locked up for up to three additional years at $4.6 million total (only $1.2 million guaranteed beyond this year). Zeller is just a smidge more pricey, with $1.7 million guaranteed for next season. He is currently in the second season of his rookie scale contract.

Bullock was the No. 25 pick in the 2013 NBA Draft. Zeller was No. 17 in 2012. He's averaging less than 14 minutes per game this season in Cleveland. Bullock is considered to have good NBA potential, though he hasn't had much opportunity to show it.
