It’s twitter’s favorite question: “hey Lucas, do the Clippers have cap space?”
For the last several years, the Clippers have operated well above the cap, making the notion of adding a free agent for more than the mid-level exception essentially impossible. Their one big free-agent contract, which was given to Danilo Gallinari last summer, was a sign-and-trade that involved the Clippers dumping Jamal Crawford’s contract to make a deal work.
But following today’s news that DeAndre Jordan has declined his player option, there’s a chance that the Clippers can actually use cap room for the first time since.
