I identified two needs for the Clippers, ones that mirrored their needs for the draft but were more acute because the Clippers needed short-term playable options: ball handling and frontcourt help. One of my named targets was Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez.

Brook Lopez is moving on. The veteran center and the Los Angeles Clippers agreed to a two-year, $18 million contract on Monday after he had been linked frequently to the Los Angeles Lakers, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. According to ESPN's Bobby Marks, the signing came out of Los Angeles' $14.1 million non-taxpayer mid-level exception.

According to NBA insider Shams Charania, the Clippers have agreed to a two-year deal with former Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez that is worth $18 million. Lopez is a great fit for the Clippers. As a two-time All-Defensive Team player, he is somebody who can protect the rim while Zubac is off the floor.
