Sindarius Thornwell to Cavs
Shams Charania: Clippers free agent Sindarius Thornwell has agreed to a one-year deal with the Cleveland Cavaliers, per agent Andy Shiffman (@PriorityBkball) of Priority Sports.
Clippers president “Lawrence Frank called me and let me know everything before it happened. He said, ‘We got a chance to get Paul George. And if we get Paul George, we know we are going to get Kawhi (Leonard). With us having to bring Paul George in, we are going to have to let you go,’” Thornwell said Sunday on the first day of the Kuntry Classic Pro-Am in his hometown of Lancaster. “It is understandable. It is the business of the game. Anybody in America would have done that.”
“After everything comes through and clears, there is a possibility, he said, ‘We could might come back and get you and sign you back to the team.’ Thornwell said he would welcome a return to the Clippers to play alongside NBA All-Stars Leonard and George. There are six or seven teams that have expressed interest in him so far, he said, and he is weighing his options.
Jovan Buha: With Tyrone Wallace and Sindarius Thornwell both being cut, it seems like Clippers will strongly consider Terance Mann for the 14th/15th roster spot.
Jovan Buha: Though it’s been widely reported/written that Clippers wing Sindarius Thornwell’s contract guarantee date is June 20, it is in fact July 20, per league sources. Thornwell’s gurantee is for $1,618,520.

The resounding sentiment among the group is that the Kobe model is the most comfortable basketball shoe out there. With a low-cut and lightweight design, the Kobe signature series stands out because you almost forget that they’re there. “They’re so light,” Thornwell said. “It barely feels like you have anything on.” The most popular models this preseason have been the Kobe AD NXT 360 and the Kobe AD, both of which were released in 2018. Gilgeous-Alexander, Bradley, Wallace and Scott have worn the Kobe AD (the newer model of the two). Thornwell prefers the Kobe AD NXT 360. Harris goes back and forth between the two. Johnson and Motley have stuck with last season’s Kobe A.D., a mid-top shoe.
But anyone who knows the 30-year-old will tell you he’s just a big kid. He has the warmth of an old friend, even if you’ve just met him. “Sometimes I’m like, he’s too big to be so nice,” teammate Sindarius Thornwell says. “He’s the nicest person you’ll ever meet.”
Jovan Buha: The Clippers announced their Las Vegas Summer League roster, which notably includes Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jerome Robinson, Sindarius Thornwell, Jawun Evans and Angel Delgado (two-way). Clippers begin summer league against the Warriors on Friday, July 6.

“I’m not a lottery pick, but I feel like I’m a lottery player,” Sindarius Thornwell said in describing his pitch to NBA teams. “I’m a glue guy. I can come in right away and produce on both ends of the court, but most importantly the defensive end.”
Thornwell met with at least 14 teams this past week, including San Antonio, Orlando, Miami, Brooklyn, Denver, Golden State, Milwaukee, Detroit, Portland, Atlanta and Dallas. He knew of at least one private workout scheduled with the Trail Blazers.
Thornwell attended plenty of Charlotte Hornets games growing up, but was never a fan of any one team, he said. That will change a little more than a month from now. “I like everybody and whoever drafts me, that will be my favorite team,” he joked. “I don’t really have a preference.”
