Clippers Fun-Filled Summer Continues
With Gallinari playing in the Basketball Without Borders Game, it means that the Clippers have now been part of mostly every NBA Event since the off-season begin.
June
NBA Draft: Selected Shai Gilegeous-Alexander out of Kentucky (11th Pick) and Jerome Robinson out of Boston College (13th Pick).
NBA Awards: Lou Williams wins KIA NBA Sixth Man of the Year Award.
NBA Trades: Traded Austin Rivers for Marcin Gortat.
July
NBA Summer League: SGA and Jerome Robinson show flashes of how they’ll fit in with the team next year.
NBA Free Agency: Signed Mike Scott, Luc Mbah a Moute, Picked up Milos Teodosic’s Team Option, re-signed Avery Bradley and Montrezl Harrell.
Team USA Basketball: Tobias Harris represented the Clippers at the Team USA Practices.
NBA G-League: Signed Angel Delgado to a two-way contract, traded for two-way player Jonathan Motley, promoted G-League coaches Casey Hill and Natalie Nakase to the Clippers staff, promoted Brian Adams to G-League Head Coach.
I truly believe this summer so far for the Clippers has been a successful one, they have done all the right things while having enough cap-space for two max slots next year.
