Traded to the Clippers
Wilkins discusses being traded from the Atlanta Hawks to the Los Angeles Clippers for small forward Danny Manning:
I’ve always wanted to be in L.A. When you’re on a winning team you want to stay and do well, but I’m finally coming to a team that respects me and my ability. The Clippers have talent but you need leadership, someone to step forward. I will do that for the Clippers.
