The LA Clippers have added some frontcourt depth to their roster.
The Clippers and Patrick Patterson agreed to a one-year, $2.3 million deal, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported on Thursday, proving that there was something to all the rumors.
Patterson exercised a $5.7 million option with the Oklahoma City Thunder in May. The two sides reached a buyout earlier this month, which allowed the veteran to become a free agent.
Patterson, 30, is entering his 10th season in the league. The forward averaged 3.6 points and 2.3 rebounds in 13.7 minutes per game last season. He was originally drafted by the Houston Rockets, was traded to Sacramento, then to Toronto, and he has spent the past two seasons with the Thunder.
Now he joins an NBA championship contender in the Clippers, who added Kawhi Leonard and Paul George over the offseason.
