Oklahoma City and forward Patrick Patterson have agreed to a buyout on the final season of his contract, allowing him to become a free agent, league sources tell ESPN.
Once his $5.7 million deal clear waivers this week, Patterson's intention is to sign with the LA Clippers, league sources tell ESPN.
The Clippers, with two available roster spots, are constructing a frontcourt bench to support its two new forwards - Kawhi Leonard and Paul George.
Patterson, 30, was never able to find consistent traction in a role with the Thunder in his two seasons there.
