Los Angeles Clippers are adding another proven NBA veteran to their roster. According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Clippers have agreed to a deal with two-times All-Star Joakim Noah.

Wojnarowski reports that Noah will first sign a 10-day contract, but is expected to remain with the franchise until the end of the season. Clippers have monitored the 35-year-old for some time now and determined that his size and defensive capability would give suit their game plan.

Prior to acquiring Noah, Clippers have also added two potentially impactful players in Marcus Morris and Reggie Jackson in order to fuel their championship run this year. Morris was acquired in a trade with New York Knicks, while Jackson joined the team after agreeing to a buyout with Detroit Pistons.

Joakim Noah hasn’t played at all this season, although he was working out with a number of teams, including Los Angeles Lakers. He spent the 2018/19 with Memphis Grizzlies, where he averaged 7.1 points and 5.7 rebounds in 42 games.

Noah played his best basketball with Chicago Bulls, where he spent the first nine years of his NBA career. During his time in Chicago, he made two All-Star appearances, had a First-Team All-NBA selection, and received NBA Defensive Player of the Year honors in 2014.

After DeMarcus Cousins suffered a potentially season-ending injury, Los Angeles Lakers are forced to look for alternative solutions at the center position. According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Lakers are set to work out former All-Star centers Dwight Howard and Joakim Noah.

Lakers invited Howard and Noah to come for individual workouts this week in Los Angeles, where they could also be joined by veteran Mo Speights. Another option that the team considers is former Washington Wizards’ player Marcin Gortat.

Howard, who was already a member of the Lakers back in 2012, is currently under contract with Memphis Grizzlies, but that reportedly shouldn’t be an issue. Grizzlies are willing to allow the 33-year-old to find another landing spot in NBA and join a contender despite the fact that his expiring deal might be a trade asset.

Noah is currently a free agent and is believed to be another enticing option for the Lakers. He spent the previous season with Memphis, averaging 7.1 points and 5.7 rebounds per game.

Speights and Gortat, on the other hand, are not believed to have much chance of landing a roster spot, but Lakers want to have backup options.

With Cousins out, Lakers are now left only with JaVale McGee at the center position. They can also use Anthony Davis, but prefer that the 26-year-old All-Star spends the majority of his minutes as a power forward.
