Last week, the guard agreed to sign a five-year, $42million deal with the Clippers, leaving the Sacramento Kings, whom he played with the last half of the 2004-05 season after being traded by Orlando. He was part of the blockbuster trade engineered in June 2004 by the Houston Rockets and the Magic that sent Mobley and Steve Francis to Orlando for Tracy McGrady.

"At this point it's just a matter of time before he signs with the Clippers," said Chris Brantley, who helps represent Mobley. "He's pretty excited about joining the Clippers, and he sees this as a great opportunity. He sees the Clippers as an up-and-coming team, and he wants to be part of that."
Quote:
"He brings leadership, and the energy he displays on the floor is contagious," Brantley said.
I thought he got his fresh start when he shaved his beard Nah Mobley should be a good fit. Clippers need to get it together though and look for that lineup of the future.
