In what can only be described as a highly unexpected move, the LA Clippers announced late Wednesday night that they have matched Tyrone Wallace‘s offer sheet from the New Orleans Pelicans and will retain the 24-year-old guard.
“We identified Tyrone as a versatile, competitive and tough-minded player who adds to the organizational culture” said Lawrence Frank, via a press release from Clippers PR.
Upon first glance, the move seems confusing. After all, the roster is full of guards — eight to be exact — and the Clippers still need to shed a few players before opening night.
