The Los Angeles Clippers today renounced their rights to free agents Dan Dickau, Shaun Livingston, Boniface Ndong, Smush Parker and James Singleton.
Per the NBA Collective Bargaining Agreement, a renounced player no longer counts toward team salary, so teams use renouncement to gain additional cap room. After renouncing a player, the team is still permitted to re-sign such player, but the team must either have enough salary cap room to fit the salary, or sign the player using the Minimum Salary exception. After renouncing a player, a team can still trade the player in a sign-and-trade agreement
Seems like they cleared some more space to make an offer, since they met with him tonight.
Hopefully, Hawks cant match! |

| Think we'll try to get Livi back? I like that we are trying to get another player but both these guys (Smith and Okafor) shouldn't take the kind of money we were gonna give Brand and didn't we off Brand $70 mil without knocking out these players? Are we going to give them more than Davis? I'm a bit confused. |
