Clippers Shakeup Roster

Los Angeles, CA -- The new look Los Angeles Clippers became even more "new look" after a series of trades and FA signings. Lacking in frontcourt depth and frontcourt talent, the Clippers front-office announced the signing of free-agent Andrei Kirilenko. The Clippers also executed a five player trade with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The Clippers sent Mo Williams back to the team where he was once an All-Star, along with Willie Warren, Brian Cook, and a 2012 2nd round draft pick. In return Los Angeles received rookie power-forward Tristan Thompson and center Anderson Varejao. Also, with the signing of Kirilenko, the Clippers dealt Ryan Gomes to the Oklahoma City Thunder for their 2013 2nd round draft pick.
