Nope its a 2 year deal. S&T have to be a min of 3 year deal with only the first guaranteed

All I hope for now is a defensive frontcourt (PF) "enforcer" so-to-speak; a guy who backs down from no challenge in the toughness department.

We need a big time rebounder bruiser at PF that can play some C.

You guys should try to nab Reggie Evans from Boston. Could be a nice player to cover up Mullens' big weaknesses.

What we need is Charles Oakley and the fountain of youth.

I think Evans is still on the Nets

I think the best realistic options are Harrington (if he is indeed bought out by Orlando) followed by Odom. Or perhaps see if Antonio McDyess wants to come out of retirement (there was some talk of that last season).

I think Blair might command a bit more than the minimum. If not, the Clippers should definitely try to go after him. The Wizards were interested in a sign-and-trade a couple weeks ago, so I assume he is looking for $ over all (contenders).

Someone should place a home call to Mr Olowokandi. He was really great for us.

Pretty sure the Clippers and Celtics can't do any more deals this year.

Well apparently Reggie Evans is still in Brooklyn so we could still possibly trade for him. I think they swapped Reggie for Marshon Brooks before the trade between Boston and Brooklyn got finalized.

CLIPPERS SIGN CENTER BYRON MULLENS

The Los Angeles Clippers announced today that they have signed free agent center Byron Mullens. Per team policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Mullens, 24, joins the Clippers after spending the last two seasons in Charlotte, where he averaged a career-high 10.6 points and 6.4 rebounds in 53 games (41 starts) in 2012-13. The Ohio native has appeared in 144 total games in four NBA seasons with Charlotte (2011-2013) and Oklahoma City (2009-2011) and brings career averages of 8.4 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 21.1 minutes per game to Los Angeles.

Originally drafted by the Dallas Mavericks with the 24th pick in the first round of the 2009 NBA Draft, Mullens was acquired by the Thunder on draft night and played in 26 total games for Oklahoma City before being traded to Charlotte on Dec. 19, 2011 in exchange for a 2013 draft pick.

The 7-foot Mullens played one season at Ohio State University, earning a spot on the 2008-09 Big 10 All-Freshman Team as well as winning the 2008-09 Big Ten 6th Man Of The Year Award for averaging 8.8 points and 4.7 rebounds in 20.3 minutes per game.

A star at Canal Winchester High School in Ohio, Mullens was a member of the 2008 McDonald’s All-American Team.

Last season, Mullens set career-highs in 3-pointers made (66), attempted (208) and percentage (.317) despite missing a stretch of 19 games from December 22 – February 4 with a left ankle injury. He also established new career-highs in total rebounds (337) and assists (81) with the Bobcats in 2012-13.

we are just odom (or a defensive PF who can rebound and play defense behind blake) away from completing this team for the 13-14 season.

Grizz fan here.

Really wanted the grizz to sign Mullins instead of Jon friggin leuer
Considering his contract I think Mullins will be a great pick up for you guys

Zbo/Davis/Mullins
Gasol/kk/Mullins
That would have been a real nice rotation IMHO.

I don't see how some lac fans don't like this signing really.

Playing on a contender can really help some guys , I think Mullins is one.

I agree, not sure why you would complain about a young skilled big with potential on a vet min deal.
