The Los Angeles Clippers appear to be exploring all avenues in their quest to improve this offseason. That includes engaging the Memphis Grizzlies about a potential trade for Tony Allen, according to a report.
TNT’s David Aldridge reports that the Clippers have talked with the Grizzlies about a potential sign-and-trade for Allen:
Clips, looking to bolster wing after Redick departure/Crawford trade, have engaged Grizzlies in potential s/t for Tony Allen, per source.

Allen, much like Zach Randolph, is a free agent. Z-Bo already left Memphis and agreed to a deal with the Sacramento Kings for $24 million. Allen made it clear after the season ended that he wanted to return to the Grizzlies.
The 35-year-old has been with Memphis the past seven seasons after beginning his career in Boston. The likelihood of a sign-and-trade with the Clippers is unknown, but we do know the Clippers need some help after losing Chris Paul, J.J. Redick and Jamal Crawford.
