Clippers trade F/C Reggie Evans to Nets for future 2nd round pick. Evans will help with defense and rebounding off the bench, but they're expected to re-sign Kris Humphries to be the starting PF.

The Nets are reportedly finalizing a sign-and-trade deal with the Clippers for veteran PF Reggie Evans. Evans is a rebounding machine and a tough frontcourt presence, and by signing him the Nets continue to build a veteran team meant to win next year (and convince Deron Williams that he can compete immediately in Brooklyn). Terms of the deal should be available soon.

The Clippers are not expect to make offers to free agents Kenyon Martin and Reggie Evans. We reported in late May that K-Mart wasn't expected to return with the Clippers, and the arrival of Lamar Odom may have made Evans expendable also. Both veterans will likely find a contending team they can help in a defense-and-rebounding bench role.

Reggie Evans was intentionally fouled by the Spurs down the stretch in Game 3, and he finished 3-of-10 from the FT line. Gregg Popovich's masterful season continues. He had his team foul DeAndre Jordan at the end of the first half (DJ missed both), planting a seed of doubt, and followed that up with a hack-a-Reggie strategy that prevented the Clippers' attempted comeback from getting any traction.

Reggie Evans had four points, 11 rebounds and two steals as the Clippers escaped with a victory in Game 3 on Sunday. Evans slept wrong on Friday and had neck pain prior to this game, but it didn't have a big impact on the Clippers' backup PF. He missed 2-of-8 free throws, including two that gave Memphis new life late in the fourth quarter, but as usual he made up for it with physical defense and rebounding.

Reggie Evans was a major catalyst in the Clippers' 27-point comeback on Sunday, as he came off the bench for seven points, 13 rebounds, one steal and one block in 21 minutes. The Clippers benefitted from lockdown interior defense by Reggie and Kenyon Martin (four points, three rebounds, three blocks in 15 minutes), and Vinny Del Negro just kept riding his veteran big men. As a consequence, Reggie had a +/- rating of +23, while DeAndre Jordan posted a -19.

Reggie Evans returned on Sunday after missing two games with the flu, scoring one point, grabbing four rebounds and committing one hilarious flop. Officials initially charged Greivis Vasquez with a Flagrant-2 foul for the play, but upon review they wisely changed it to a personal. Nothing will come of it, but the NBA does have a 'flop rule' on the books -- as league executive Stu Jackson described it in 2008, "Our objective is to get the most egregious flops, the ones where the player's just flat taking a dive." Follow the link and judge for yourself.

Reggie Evans will miss Wednesday's game due to the flu. This should actually be good news for the minutes of DeAndre Jordan.

Reggie Evans scored four points on 2-of-3 shooting with four rebounds and a steal in 20 minutes off the bench on Monday. Evans posted a double-double with 11 points and 12 boards on Sunday against the hapless Warriors, and 13 rebounds in the game before on Friday. As you can see, if the rebounding specialist isn't going to clean the glass every night then he's not going to cut it in that role.

The Clippers fell at home to the Warriors on Sunday, 93-97, despite Reggie Evans posting his first double-double of the season with 11 points and 12 rebounds. Evans even had three assists and one steal in this throwback performance. He got extra playing time (21 minutes) with Kenyon Martin (ribs) still out of commission.
