The Los Angeles Clippers are having a very impressive summer after starting off the summer with zero hope in keeping DeAndre Jordan. After that fiasco, they signed DeAndre, Paul Pierce, Wesley Johnson, Brendan Dawson, Cole Aldrich, traded Matt Barnes, got Lance Stephenson, and re-signed Austin Rivers. Now they have added another point-guard with veteran presence that helped the Rockets move to the Western Conference Finals for the first time in a while. Pablo Prigioni. After being traded by the Rockets in a package for Ty Lawson, the Nuggets waived Prigioni, and he recently cleared waivers. According to Shams Charania of RealGM:
Free agent guard Pablo Prigioni has reached agreement on a deal with the Los Angeles Clippers, league source tells RealGM.

Pablo has a decent 3-point shot, which he showed off in the WCSF vs. the Clippers, and he is a veteran play maker and facilitator. He’s exactly what the Clippers will sub in if Austin Rivers is having a bad game. With Rivers inconsistency, Prigioni will get his minutes and his time. The Clippers are getting better with every signing they make. It looks like a race between the Thunder, Clippers, Warriors, Spurs and Rockets for the top of the West, and that’s scary, because I can’t even decide who’s the best.
