A Good Move, With More Work Ahead

Since Elton Brand and Corey Maggette tried to get out of here before the Clippers matched their offer sheets, Simmons' departure meant that in their 22 seasons under Donald T. Sterling, only two of their free agents, Eric Piatkowski and Ken Norman, have signed multiyear deals to stay of their own volition.
Of course, I have a different perspective (what else is new?). Mine is, "Clippers Are Doing Fine, but It's Only July."

Mobley's deal starts at about $7.2 million, leaving the Clippers a $5.8-million slot, big enough to fit in one more front-line player. They think they have a shot at Bonzi Wells.

The important point is that at the end of the process, the Clippers have a nice team. Now, if anything is ever to change, they will have to do something.
