Rui Hachimura, Clippers Agree To Two-Year, $28M Deal

Rui Hachimura has agreed to sign with the Los Angeles Clippers on a two-year, 28 million deal, reports ESPN's Shams Charania. The Clippers will use their mid-level exception to sign Hachimura, which leaves open the possibility of acquiring Peyton Watson via sign-and-trade. Hachimura earned 18.3 million last season and posted 17.5 points per game on 54.9 shooting, including 56.9 from three-point range, to go with 4.0 rebounds during the playoffs. Hachimura received interest from the San Antonio Spurs before they signed Tobias Harris. Hachimura had waited on a possible sign-and-trade involving the Lakers, but they ultimately didn't cooperate on a deal. According to Marc Stein, Hachimura prioritized remaining in Los Angeles and chose the Clippers over interest from the Brooklyn Nets and Dallas Mavericks.
