Hoops Rumors confirmed the Milwaukee Bucks signed Johni Broome on October 6, closing the loop on a move the Clippers made in September. The same outlet's four-week timeline on Max Strus lines up with the team's own return estimate, while a Clipperholics report on Rui Hachimura runs into a payroll sitting close to the luxury tax.
Johni Broome's exit looks like the right call in hindsight.
Hoops Rumors reported October 6 that the Bucks signed Broome, the center the Clippers waived on September 24 in a report the outlet rated at just 45 percent confidence. The confirmed tag held up fast: Milwaukee had him on a roster within two weeks of the release.
Strus's four-week absence is now corroborated across outlets.
Hoops Rumors put Strus out at least four weeks with the foot injury in an October 5 report carrying 45 percent confidence, and ESPN's Anthony Slater filed the same window the same day. The team's own return date, November 2, lands squarely inside that four-week span.
The Hachimura chatter runs into a tight number.
Clipperholics reported that plans for Hachimura may have become more likely after the preseason opener, without naming a trade partner or structure. Any outgoing money is constrained by the math: Los Angeles carries $193.7 million in salary against a $200.4 million tax line, a cushion of roughly $6.7 million that leaves little room to take back more than it sends out.
The rest of the camp churn is confirmed and minor.
Jamarion Sharp and Keon Johnson were both waived in separate September moves, each confirmed outright, and the addition of Blake Wesley carried only 36 percent confidence despite his spot on the current roster. Two group reports on September 27 bundled the Clippers with the Wizards, Wolves, Nets, Pistons, Knicks, Grizzlies and Hornets under the same vague label, one confirmed and one logged at 34 percent. None of it rises above depth-chart maintenance.
Did the Clippers trade Rui Hachimura?
No trade has been reported. Clipperholics said plans involving Hachimura may have become more likely after the preseason opener, but no deal or partner has surfaced.
Where did Johni Broome sign after the Clippers waived him?
Hoops Rumors reported October 6 that Broome signed with the Milwaukee Bucks, about two weeks after the Clippers released him on September 24.
