He spent the last year as a Laker, but now Brandon Bass has found a considerable upgrade--the Los Angeles Clippers. A former member of the Doc Rivers Boston Celtics, Bass is a energetic, hustling PF who has a solid mid-range game.

His one-year, veteran's minimum contract with the Clippers will be for $1,551,659.
