Deals can be announced starting today with the lifting of the NBA's moratorium and the salary cap penciled in at $58.68 million.
In turn, the Clippers will now have an abundant amount of salary cap space and are expected to turn their pursuits toward Atlanta Hawks forward Josh Smith, who they are expected to meet with in Los Angeles today, and Charlotte Bobcats forward Emeka Okafor.
Both, however, are less experienced than Brand and are restricted free agents, meaning any contract offer can be matched by their current teams.
