Ryan Hollins to Sign With Clippers


Recommended Posts

Clippers talk to centers Darko Milicic, Ryan Hollins

The Clippers are not the only team pursuing free-agent center Darko Milicic. Apparently the Miami Heat, Chicago Bulls and Brooklyn Nets all have interest too.

 

Milicic’s agent, Marc Cornstein, said Wednesday that the Clippers “are a team we have spoken to.” Cornstein knows that the Clippers only have the veteran minimum of about $1.229 million to offer Milicic. But Cornstein said that money would be somewhat less of a factor in Milicic's decision on where he will play next because he still will be paid for the last two years of his contract -- worth a total of $10.898 million -- after the Minnesota Timberwolves used the amnesty provision on the 7-footer.

 

“Playing time, team situation will be crucial factors,” Cornstein said. “Because Darko was amnestied, he and I both agree that it’s a crucial year for him.” The Clippers also have a strong interest in center Ryan Hollins, who also would be paid the veteran minimum of $1.065 million.

If he only wants the vet minimum I honestly don't see why to not join the reigning world champs, really... And we need a big man much more than any of the other teams do anyway. Haha I think he would probably play more minutes On the Heat although he would be an excellent backup for any of those other teams, don't get me wrong.

Ryan Hollins to sign with Clippers

 

LOS ANGELES -- Free-agent center Ryan Hollins agreed to a one-year deal with the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday, according to his agent Todd Ramasar. Hollins, who averaged 3.4 points and 2.1 rebounds in 13.4 minutes last season, is expected to sign a one-year contract for the veteran's minimum.

 

The 27-year-old Hollins returns to Los Angeles after playing at UCLA and spending last season with the Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics.

 

Hollins, a seven-foot center drafted by Charlotte in 2006, will back up starting center DeAndre Jordan and will be a part of a revamped Clippers bench that includes Lamar Odom, Jamal Crawford and Grant Hill.
