Ekpe Udoh To Sign Guaranteed One-Year Deal With Clippers 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Wed Sep 3, 2014 5:42 pm

Ekpe Udoh has reached an agreement on a fully guaranteed veteran-minimum contract with the Los Angeles Clippers for one season, a league source told RealGM.


For Udoh, the free agency decision came down to Los Angeles and the Chicago Bulls, and the Clippers expressed a strong desire to add the 6-foot-10 big man in the frontcourt.


A sixth overall draft selection to the Golden State Warriors in 2010, Udoh spent one full season with the franchise before being traded to the Milwaukee Bucks.


Udoh has averaged 4.4 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.3 blocks over four NBA seasons.


Yahoo Sports first reported Udoh's deal with the Clippers.

As a Bucks fan, I find it a bit disrespectful that RealGM usually posts pictures of players who either are or most recently were playing for the Bucks in a different teams uniform.

Step it up.

Solid addition. Very nice defender and rebounder.

It probably takes a while to find a picture of a fringe Bucks player.

Not really. Udoh and CDR are considerable upgrades over Hollins and JDUD.
