Brand exit makes Clippers major player for UFAs

After losing both Elton Brand and Corey Maggette the Clippers appear to be a wild card that is left in this free agency period. Along with Golden State, they appear to have the financial resources now to be able to put a package together that any free agent, restricted or otherwise would have to seriously think about. Andre Iguodala should stay in Philly, but the Clippers can put an offer out there he would have to consider. Until today, his name hasn’t been brought up, but after the Clippers watched Brand and Maggette out the door, they’re getting a little desperate to find someone to pair with Baron Davis. There are some impact players still out there as restricted free agents:

Josh Smith (ATL)
Josh Childress (ATL)
Emeka Okafor (CHA)
Luol Deng (CHI)
Ben Gordon (CHI)
Andris Biedrins (GS)
Monta Ellis (GS)
Nenad Krstic (NJ)
Andre Iguodala (PHI)
