• [Last Word on Sports] - Clippers Expect To Promote Rookie Guard, Plus, Who Is LA’s Biggest Trade Asset And Do They Have Interest 20-point Career Scorer
  Two days after surprisingly permanently benching , the have added to their 18-man roster. The, on pace for their worst season in over 15 years, are reportedly contemplating several other roster moves. Clippers Expect To Promote Rookie Guard, And Should They Consider Moving Ivica Zubac? Not long after snapping a five-game skid with a 115-92 victory over on Wednesday night, reported that the Clippers (6-17) were signing Dennis to a two-way deal. It was just the Clippers' third victory since November 1 and their third road victory of the campaign. Dennis was waived by the on November 30. On a minor league deal with the Pacers the last two seasons, Dennis had a few good scoring games this year. totaling double-figures twice and averaging 4.9 points, Dennis is a high-IQ point guard who operates well in the pick-and-roll, where he can create. He is an elite-level facilitator, though turnovers are an issue. The 6-1 point guard can get into the paint and changes pace well, and he is also a good scorer in the mid-range. He is not a good shooter, though he is a solid point-of-attack defender with quick hands. To make room for Dennis, LA waived rookie . Telfort, who signed a two-way deal after going out of Butler, saw 32 minutes of action over eight appearances. The 6-7 forward struggled with efficiency with the G-League San Diego Clippers, where he averaged 12 points on 12.2 shots per game. He had difficulty with ball-handling and compiled shooting splits of 34.2/28.2/70. Clippers To Promote Kobe Sanders Paul being sidelined but still on the roster causes significant volatility for the Clippers. As it leaves the Clippers with just 15 players, including their three two-way players, when fully healthy, which they are not. The addition of Dennis helps as the 24-year-old is slated to serve as the team's third guard while others remain out behind and . "The Los Angeles Clippers are signing RayJ Dennis to a two-way contract, according to league sources," "Dennis, who has previously spent time with the franchise’s G League affiliate, will serve as immediate point guard depth following the departure of Chris Paul." will miss his eighth straight game due to a hip injury last night against the Grizzlies. Meanwhile, (knee) remains out, and (hamstring) is once again questionable. Therefore, if Miler can't play, the Clippers will have just 12 active players against the Clippers. Dennis received a DNP-coaches decision vs. Memphis. The Clippers continue their five-game road trip tonight with game four in Minnesota. When Can The Clippers Add A Player? With Paul's salary guaranteed and the Clippers $1.2 million below the hard cap at the first apron, LA is in a holding pattern. The Clippers can't trade Paul until December 15, as that's when players who signed free-agent contracts this summer can be traded. They could release the 40-year-old, but could not afford to replace him until January 7 with a player making the veteran minimum. More importantly, per , the Clippers are not allowed to have fewer than 14 players on their roster for more than 14 consecutive days. If the Clippers do waive or trade Paul for future compensation (cash, draft pick), could be promoted to take his roster spot. The No. 50 pick in 2025, on a two-way deal, has played well in 15 of his 23 appearances. He has really stepped up his production recently, scoring in double-figures five times, including in each of the last two seasons. As pointed out, Sanders could be put on a standard contract right now, as he was a second-round draft pick, and the league provides exceptions for players picked in that round. "That’s good news for LA, because converting Sanders to a standard deal could be a workaround of sorts for LA with their hard cap and roster minimums," Smith said. "Because Sanders was a Clippers draft pick, he would count towards the cap/tax/apron at his actual minimum. That means that LA does have enough room to convert him to a standard deal." Sanders has been active for 17 games. The 6-8 wing averages 7.2 points and 1.1 threes with splits of 41.7/35.6/91.7. Clippers Have Several Options LA doesn't have an easy way out of its predicament. However, they have some options. Despite sitting at 6-16, the Clippers could buy, sell, or stand pat. The Clippers don't have control of their own draft pick until 2030. Why Could The Clippers be Buyers? "The Clippers have more than $50 million in expiring contracts and, in the apron era, that is the type of fodder that carries value as teams look to shed future money,". "They are light on draft assets -- the Thunder also have swap rights to the Clippers' 2027 first-round pick -- and have just one distant first-round pick and three second-round picks available to trade. But, as one rival executive told me, They can wait for a blue light special." "There will be teams who will be willing to dump players in two months," Windhorst continued. "Guys who might be able to help them. The Clippers are less than $2 million from hi...
