Clippers After Another Warrior, Give Offer Sheet to Azubuike

The Clippers have apparently decided that the rest of their cap space would be best spent on the Warriors' restricted free agent Kelenna Azubuike. L.A. made a play for their second player from the Bay area this summer by offering Azubuike a three year deal worth $9M.

The Warriors are loaded at Azubuike's position (he can really play the two or the three), and with guys like Stephen Jackson, Monta Ellis, and Corey Maggette all likely to be ahead of him in the rotation, I'd say that there's a pretty good chance of the Clippers getting their man here.

As a side note, the fact that Azubuike had his best game of the season against the Clippers probably helped him out a little at the negotiating table. Kelenna poured in 33 points on 12-17 shooting in his team's second game of the season, punctuated by this highlight-reel-dunk on Chris Kaman.
