The Clippers signed "GOAT", and the 15-man playoff roster was released!

There is still the last round of the regular season, only the Clippers and the Mavericks in the top ten in the West have determined the rankings, of which the Clippers lock the fourth in the West, and the Mavericks determine the fifth, the two teams will meet in the first round, and the Mavericks will determine that the last game will rest other core players except Hardaway Jr., and the Clippers will check in one core player in one quarter, and the next game is expected to be rested in all rounds.

While the rotation was resting, the Clippers also tweaked their roster ahead of the playoffs and signed self-proclaimed "GOAT" free agent Kay Jones.

According to a joint report by Clippers reporter Law Murray and Shams of the American media "TA", the Clippers will sign free agent Kai Jones.

According to a follow-up report from Shams, the Clippers cut Primo in order to sign Kai Jones.

Primo suffered a sprained left ankle after signing with the Clippers this season and played just 10 minutes for the team.

Due to Kai Jones' past experience with Primo, fans also ridiculed the Clippers' operation this time: "Cut a pervert and sign another psychopath." ”

Primo was the No. 12 pick in '21 and was ridiculed as a "pervert" by fans because he was previously drafted by the Spurs and accused by team psychologist Hillary Cauthen of exposing his body to her nine times.

Although the two sides eventually reached an out-of-court settlement, Primo was cut by the Spurs, and as the No. 12 pick, Primo only played for the Spurs for one season.

The Clippers then signed Primo on a two-year, $3.96 million contract, but the latter suffered injury troubles this season, playing in two games, averaging 1 point and 0.5 rebounds per game, shooting just 33.3%, far below the team's expectations.

Kay Jones, the No. 19 pick in '21, signed a four-year, $13.42 million contract with the Hornets, only to be waived by the Hornets after only two seasons because his off-court rhetoric was too crazy.

Beginning in September of last year, Kay Jones began to call himself the GOAT, and then publicly stated that he could beat Jordan, O'Neal and James in his prime, better than Curry in high school, and better than Three-Ball and Brandon Miller at birth.

At this time, the Hornets owner was Jordan, and the three-ball and Brandon Miller were Kay Jones' teammates, so they were quickly cut by the Hornets after Kay Jones then requested a trade.

He played for the Hornets for 2 seasons and played in 67 regular season games, averaging 9.1 minutes per game, averaging 2.7 points, 2 rebounds and 0.5 blocks.

After being laid off by the Hornets, he never found a job until mid-March, when the 76ers, facing an injury to Embiid, opted to sign Kay Jones to a 10-day contract.

After joining the 76ers, Kay Jones played two games in the Development League, averaging 11 points, 7.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2.5 steals and 1.5 blocks per game while shooting 60% from the field.

As an interior player, Kay Jones has good footwork and great physicality, having dunked Wembanyama before being made redundant.

Therefore, the purpose of the Clippers signing him is very obvious, which is to improve the team's playoff interior selection space and thickness.

According to a follow-up report from Shams, the Clippers signed a multi-year contract with him, and the overall operation is very similar to the previous Taobao Primo.

Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports also followed up by pointing out that the Clippers considered Ky Jones long before signing Theis, and signed with Theis because of Kay Jones' poor mental and physical condition at the time.

After completing this signing, the Clippers' 15-man roster is as follows

Starters: Harden, George, Carl Jr., Mann, Zubac;

10 subs: Westbrook, Powell, Coffey, Plumlee, Tucker, Boston, Hyland, Theis, Kobe Brown and Kay Jones.
