Marc Stein @ESPNSteinLine
Clippers, I'm told, recently worked out Ivan Johnson after his China stint and are looking at a 10-day deal for former Hawk @kevinarnovitz
about 1 hour ago
According to Marc Stein the Clippers worked him out after his stint in China. He's been a name that has come up as a guy to help with the big man issue.

I really like the idea of trying him out, we could really use a bruiser down low, I just hope he can keep his anger to a minimum.
His rap sheet is impressive
He then transferred to the University of Oregon on a scholarship, but later left as his coach refused to extend his scholarship because of Johnson's "anger management issues"
After that, he played in the Korean Basketball League (KBL) with the Changwon LG Sakers and Jeonju KCC Egis from 2008-2010. He was "banned forever" from the KBL for directing the middle-finger gesture at a referee during the final game of the championship series. After the game, the KBL held a meeting and also decided to fine Johnson US$4,448.
On April 13, 2012, Johnson was sent home and fined an undisclosed amount of money for "conduct detrimental to the team."
On May 12, 2012, the NBA fined Johnson $25,000 for gesturing, again with his middle finger, at a Boston Celtics fan following the Hawks’ elimination from the playoffs

It looks like we have to compete with the Knicks for both Johnson and Collins.

I'd take Hollins over Collins. Plus we'd get a ton of unneeded publicity that could end up distracting the team.
Buy-Out for Big Baby?

Yes! Ivan! Make it happen!

Honestly we just need another big body. We need to sign someone. I'm sure that we'll find out soon. Maybe before the start of tomorrow's game.

Reggie Evans is the same height and we used him @C that one season.
