One of the few big-name free agents left on the market is reportedly going to the LA Clippers. Josh Smith, whose name may exceed his game at this point in his career, joins the Clips for what amounts to, reportedly, the veteran minimum. Good move for Lob City?
From Marc Stein of ESPN:
The Josh Smith-to-the-Clippers chatter is indeed true. They will be formally signing him shortly

What helped Clips land another quality player with no financial flexibility: Josh Smith is owed $5.4 mil annually by Pistons through 2019-20

Sorry Rudy Gay, looks like all that recruiting via Snapchat didn’t work.
