The Clippers made a splash a few days ago but acquiring Lance Stephenson from the Hornets. Then they announced a new logo. But they aren’t finished yet. They are continuing to add depth by exploring the possibility of snagging Paul Pierce. This, of course, would reunite Doc Rivers with Pierce, and would give the Clippers a pretty deep offensive attack.
One of the options the Clippers are exploring, according to sources, is Paul Pierce, who could sign a mini-midlevel exception of $3.37 million for up to three years if he declines his $5.5 million player option with Washington. Players don’t normally turn down money but it’s essentially a $1 million difference this season for Pierce, 37, to return home and be reunited with Rivers, who was his coach in Boston for nine seasons, including the 2007-08 championship.
The Clippers are also exploring trade options for Jamal Crawford, according to sources, and one possibility is trading Crawford and C.J. Wilcox, the team’s 2014 first round pick, to the Denver Nuggets for Wilson Chandler. The Clippers inquired about Chandler last season but nothing materialized.
