AUGUST 4TH, 3:17pm: The signing is official, the Clippers announced.
5:41pm: The deal is a one-year, minimum salary arrangement, Ben Bolch of The Los Angeles Times reports (via Twitter).
JULY 22ND, 5:29pm: The Clippers and unrestricted free agent Pablo Prigioni have reached an agreement on a contract, Shams Charania of RealGM reports (Twitter link). The length and terms of the deal are not yet known. The veteran fills the team’s need for a solid backup to starter Chris Paul.
The 38-year-old had been sent to Denver as part of the Ty Lawson deal, and he was waived shortly after so the Nuggets could avoid paying Prigioni’s 2015/16 salary of $1,734,572, which was set to become fully guaranteed if he remained on the roster past Monday. Denver is on the hook for $440K, the amount of Prigioni’s partial guarantee.
In three NBA seasons Prigioni has averaged 3.8 points, 1.9 rebounds, and 3.0 assists to go with a slash line of .437/.398/.872.
This is a great move for them in my opinion. Definitely something they needed last year.
They love picking up our scraps huh?
Role players man, every team needs em
Clippers just STOLE this years MVP
Decent pickup he’ll be useful off the bench Clippers roster is stacked!
Funny you say that Micah. No one in your starting 5 was drafted by the Rockets. *Drops Mic*

If you are saying none of the Rockets starting five was drafted by the Rockets your wrong. Terrence Jones was. Check yourself before you reck yourself.

this guy can pass!
Hey he is serviceable isn’t going to help or or more importantly hurt you. He was ok for us last year
if you cant beat them, sign them?
The high point for Prigioni in Houston came in the Game 7 win over the Clippers. I wonder if L.A. would have pursued him if not for this.
