Singleton In Talks With Top European Clubs

James Singleton is in serious discussions with multiple top European clubs, according to a source that spoke with RealGM.

Talks are ongoing with several NBA clubs, but Singleton is interested in turning to Europe due to the slow pace of the discussions.

Phoenix, Golden State, Utah and Dallas are four teams that have shown interest in Singleton. At least three other teams have recently been in on discussions.

Singleton is familiar with Europe, as he played for Olimpia Milano before joining the Clippers in 2005.

Clippers Courting Brevin Knight

The Clippers, their options to sign a veteran point guard dwindling, have set their sights on signing 10-year veteran Brevin Knight, who became an unrestricted free agent last month when he was waived by the Charlotte Bobcats.

Knight, an experienced floor general and a strong defender, would fill the Clippers’ need for an experienced backup to incumbent starter Sam Cassell. Bill Strickland, Knight’s agent, said Friday he has had several discussions with Clippers coach Mike Dunleavy and that the Clippers made a preliminary contract offer.

"It’s going to be a continuing process. We’re trying to work around a (contract) number,’’ said Strickland, when asked if there was anything imminent on the horizon. "But I have to say that we’re very interested in the Clippers."
