Report: Clippers Agree to Deal With Big Man Warriors Once Considered

The Clippers reportedly added a big man on Tuesday.

Willie Reed agreed to terms on a one-year deal with Los Angeles, according to ESPN's Chris Haynes.

In early July, TNT's David Aldridge reported that the Warriors were among several teams interested in the free-agent center.

Reed will reportedly earn $1.5 million next season -- slightly above the $1.47 million minimum for a player with two years of service.

The 27-year old averaged 5.3 points and 4.7 rebounds over 14.5 minutes per game with Miami last year.

He declined a player option with the Heat that would have paid him just under $1.1 million in 2017-18.

JaVale McGee -- who is still an unrestricted free agent -- reportedly met with the Clippers about two weeks ago.

The Warriors have one open roster spot, but McGee is reportedly not happy with Golden State.

Don't be surprised if the Warriors open training camp with 14 guaranteed contracts.

"There's no league rule that says you have to have 15 guys," assistant GM Kirk Lacob told NBC Sports Bay Area last week in Las Vegas. "We're happy with the 14 we have.

"We have the ability to add someone if we really like them."
