The Clippers on Tuesday waived forward Solomon Jones, trimming their roster down to 14 players. That gives the Clippers room to sign a free agent — perhaps someone like former Denver guard J.R. Smith once he becomes eligible to play in the NBA after the season is over for his Zhejiang Golden Bulls team in the Chinese Basketball Assn. "We're trying to continually improve the team," Del Negro said. Los Angeles Times

In need of help in the frontcourt, the Clippers are expected to sign free-agent Solomon Jones to a non-guaranteed contract Tuesday worth almost $1 million, said a person not authorized to speak publicly on the matter. Los Angeles Times

Jones worked out for the Clippers on Monday at the team's practice facility and was chosen over several other frontcourt players who also worked out for the team. While Reggie Evans continues to rehabilitate the sprained right foot that may leave him unable to play for at least another week, the Clippers need more backup for starters Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan. The Clippers have been using Brian Cook and rookie Trey Thompkins as the primary reserves. Los Angeles Times

Milano is looking for an American guard with NBA experience who will not return to US when the lockout ends. If the guard will be American, Emporio Armani will sign a Bosman big man (Pops Mensah-Bonsu and Zoran Erceg the two alternatives). If the guard will be European, in the frontline Milano might add D'Or Fischer or Solomon Jones, former Indiana Pacers. Sportando

A rumor recently surfaced that the Indiana Pacers were closing in on a trade with the Phoenix Suns that would land Earl Clark in Indiana and send Solomon Jones to Phoenix. Sources close to the situation tell HOOPSWORLD that not only are the Pacers not interested in acquiring the troubled Clark, they also have little interest in moving Jones. HoopsWorld

League sources revealed yesterday that the Indiana Pacers and the Phoenix Suns have held informal talks about swapping seldom used Suns' forward Earl Clark and equally unused Pacer's center Solomon Jones. The deal would basically shed $200,000 off of Phoenix's payroll and give them another body for the center position, and add some rebounding to the bench. HoopsWorld

There's a possibility that the Pacers could eat Solomon Jones' $1.5 million contract and release him. Cutting Jones, however, will leave the Pacers with even less experience in the frontcourt. Indianapolis Star

The Pacers have had no success trying to package Dahntay Jones and Solomon Jones in a two-for-one trade. "It's out of my control," Solomon Jones said. "The only thing I can control is how I play when I get on the court. I need to help contribute to the team any way I can. All the other off-the-court issues and rumors are out of my control."
