Quote from: LA Times
The Clippers were informed on Thursday that guards Jamal Crawford and Chauncey Billups intend to sign contracts with the team when the NBA’s moratorium period is lifted for free agents to sign deals, according to NBA executives who were not authorized to speak publicly on the matter.

Crawford, an unrestricted free agent who opted out of his $5.2 million contract with the Portland Trail Blazers, has been offered a spot by the Clippers. He is expected to sign a three-year, $15.7 million contract, according to the executives.

Billups, who played in just 20 games last season with the Clippers before suffering a season-ending left Achilles tendon surgery, will sign a one-year deal that could be worth up to $4.3 million if he reaches bonuses, the executives said.

With Crawford and Billups reaching deals with the Clippers, L.A. cancelled the visit they had planned for free agent shooting guard Ray Allen on Friday.

Hmmm, Id much rather have Terry than Crawford at virtually the same contract.  Agree?

Yup, even with the age factor I'm very happy to get Terry at the same price.

Eh, not really.

They have a combo guard and a big PG.

Not wild about those two signings. Particularly not together and with Bledsoe getting the remaining backcourt minutes. Very small backcourt and defensively deficient (and rebounding deficient) at the SG position.

Ray meeting with clippers off

Well then they should continue with this plan to the obvious conclusion and reup Nick Young and play him at SF like they did in the playoffs!  ;)
