With the league moratorium on commenting on potential free-agent signings still in effect, Clippers coach Doc Rivers could at least signal the direction his club is headed as the official signing announcement day looms Wednesday.
The Clippers subtracted Eric Bledsoe and Caron Butler via trade but have added J.J. Redick, Jared Dudley and Darren Collison. Forward Antawn Jamison, who played for the Lakers last season, figures to be the next announcement.
“Our whole thing was adding shooting, shooting, shooting,” Rivers said Monday. “I think you can kind of tell one of the areas we thought we had to improve our team in is in shooting, and that’s what we’re trying to do this summer. We’ve done that.
“We still are looking for a couple other guys, but we’re bringing back the nucleus for the most part. We’re talking to everyone. We obviously have enough guards, 1’s, 2’s and 3’s. Our next focus is on bigs. But just one, maybe two.”
