Pierce is coming off his only season with the Washington Wizards, during which he averaged a career low 11.9 points per game. However, Pierce did hit a buzzer-beater in the playoffs to help the Wizards advance to the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals.
Pierce played for the Brooklyn Nets two years ago, but played for the Boston Celtics from 1998-2013.
He also made the All-Star team an impressive 10 times during his tenure in Boston. Pierce will give the Clippers depth at the small forward position, and certainly veteran leadership as well as playoff experience.
