Clippers re-sign Matt Barnes to a three year contract.

The Clippers have signed Darren Collison. Collison reunites with Chris Paul as they were teammates with the New Orleans Hornets where Collison credited Paul's mentorship. Also Collison attended UCLA so this is like playing closer to home.

The Clippers have re-signed bigman Ryan Hollins to a one year deal.

NBA legend Hakeem Olajuwon believes that Griffin's game will be elevated with a post mentorship from him. I thought Griffin would spend this summer with Olajuwon, but it seems his summer was booked with Pro-Am tours and sponsorship tours.

It is rumored that the Clippers are showing interest in former NBA all-star Gilbert Arenas as a training camp invitee.

The other night.

Matt Barnes will miss two weeks worth of games after an eye surgery. In lieu of that, Chris Paul and Blake Griffin are playing well.

While the Clippers sources are still interested in the service of veteran Lamar Odom.

Chris Paul's hamstring strain will be re-evaluated today.

 

[CKR132]

Head coach Doc Rivers stated that personally, he wants veteran free agent Lamar Odom with the Clippers.

Good to know that Rivers still has a high regard for the recently troubled Odom who has coped with substance abuse and divorce to his high profile woman. Rivers coached against Odom's Lakers back in 2008 and in 2010.

JJ Redick will miss 6-8 weeks worth of games due to a hand fracture and a torn UCL.
