Has hell frozen over? Or have the Clippers signed a free agent for real? Try the latter, as Cuttino Mobley voluntarily chose to go from another organization to the Los Angeles Clippers for FIVE years. Even more stunning is that Donald Sterling will pay Mobley $42 million for the privilege of wearing Red and Blue.
