Namely, the Clippers' bigs.
That would be Chris Kaman, who logged 37 minutes in Thursday's loss to the Denver Nuggets. There is DeAndre Jordan, who is injured, and Jarron Collins, who is in camp on a non-guaranteed deal. Collins played 11 minutes against Denver and had two rebounds.So this begs the question: Are the Clippers, 1-4 in preseason, looking for another big man?
"We have interest in anyone that can help our team and explore avenues to improve our team and explore avenues to improve our roster on a daily basis," said Neil Olshey, vice president of basketball operations.
"We have no interest in players that make us look better getting off the bus because they happen to be 6-10," he said.
