The Clippers quietly continue to reload. Blake Griffin has a bum knee, but will be ready to go by the time the season rolls around. So will Grant Hill. He’s approaching 40 but because he was so injured early in his career, he doesn’t have that many NBA miles on his legs.
The Clippers continue to put together an impressive roster, getting free-agent forward Grant Hill to agree Tuesday to join the team, according to NBA executives who were not authorized to speak publicly on the matter.
He will be the backup small forward behind starter Caron Butler
