The Clippers have interest in signing unrestricted free-agent forward Miles Bridges, according to people with knowledge of the situation not authorized to speak publicly on the matter.
It would probably take a sign-and-trade deal in which the Clippers to send a draft pick to Charlotte for Bridges, who averaged 21 points, 7.3 rebounds and 3.3 assists while shooting 46.2% from the field last season for the Hornets. Names that have come up for a possible deal are Norman Powell, who makes $19.2 million, and Terance Mann, who makes $11.5 million.
Acquiring the 6-foot-7 Bridges would be an upgrade for the Clippers after they lost All-Star forward Paul George to Philadelphia on a four-year, $212-million deal.
